I'm kind of straight laced fella. I get that team killing is bad, and we should not do it. I have gotten a little confused lately. If I am on an opposing team against my squad mates, I know I can't kill my team to help my squad on the red side. However, I'm hearing of a tactic whereby a squad member might shoot a team member 2 or 3 times to make them easier for their squad on the red team to kill. Just trying to keep track of norms and all. Are we doing this now?

yes TX happened to me last night a few times a blue was putting a few shots in me to soften me up for his other squad mates who where Red never seen anything so low from a high ranked player

Hey TX,
The tactic was quite ineffective. We won the match anyways.

M.O.M still Roolz!

Seems like a low-life dishonorable thing to do... just saying..

I agree, but I've never believed in deliberately being an easy target. I'd like to rank up, but I'll tem kill, camo, spawn kill anyone that does this to me at the first opportunity. And, I remember stuff for a long time. Sometimes I make videos, screenshots, and the like...

Its happened to me also. Was just trying to have fun and play the game. When I found out it was actually a tactic with a name and a way for people to help there squad members I got a good giggle out of it. This and letting your squad come by unopposed.. The best way I have found to keep this from happening is not being on the team of a player that does this. Never would I stoop to so called softening targets nor taking my personal grievances on an entire squad or team or individual that might be in that squad or team. But if that's gonna be a standard then I shall reassess my game play to better fit the normal game play and tactics.

I have no problem team killing the p.o.s. engaging in this tactic...ill lose the match and may get a five min break but I'll be sure the loser stays on the strip.

Whoever done this should not repeat it as it will kill the sportsmanship. there are good numbers of players who can go for tit for tat approach but I request all players to refrain themselves in using such Tactics. This will ruin this good game.

I suggest the aggrieved players to approach their squad officer via private message who in turn will speak to the squad officers of pilots indulge in such activity.

If in future that pilot repeats it then in that case a permanent ban is the only solution to avoid personal conflicts between Squads.

For the record, I am a subscriber and STILL don't have my gold crown... how aggravating

It has been my experience as a Mother, that the "There I was just minding my own businesses" situation is rare. There are always two sides to a story. I agree the "softening" tactic is wrong and should not be adopted by anyone, yet I wold like to know what exactly provoked it.
I often find that the one who is better at feigning innocence, is just better practiced at hiding guilt.

I agree Doom.. I would really love to hear what Dog and myself have done to said player besides being on the same team and having a MOM tag. I would love to hear this story, reason and videos ..

As a father, I really don't care what "provoked" my kids to have a tantrum. When it happened, they got whooped. When they were calm again, we talked it out. Now we may be dealing with a child. I know who has done it to my team, and I am simply being courteous by not naming them. They claim to be an adult with some worldly experience. I can't control anyone but myself. If I don't like how someone plays, I leave. I don't behave like a sneaky little shit and sabotage my own team. Most of us pay money to be here. I'm not gonna wreck your game because I got butt hurt over bullshit. I don't care about their story. I just want to establish if this is now a game play tactic.

What's odd is THIS is all what 'squad wars' has become. Good squads and talented players bickering and lashing out at each other.

I miss like hell the days we flew and supported our teams and there were many squads. How many good squads are gone for good or rarely play?

New players would come to the Forum and see many squads and want access to the top ones---where's that these days?

It's truly sad what's happened.

I think you have to have Facebooking or something. I never got a crown either.

Sniff (sad trombone)

Oh, and as far as the 'person whom shall not be named who is doing the team softening', I don't think he's a kid, just a whiny turd. A verbose turd at that.

I don't begrudge anyone playing with their squad. If you pay to play and like a team full of your squad, go for it. I'm busy as hell. When I get to play, I do it for fun. It's not fun to go from 2 on 2 to 3 on 1. When it happens, I just leave, find another game. Honestly, I play ww2 for points and WW1 for fun games. I'd love to book a game lobby as M.O.M and take any team that wants to play us. Believe me, there are personalities I dislike in this game, but I'll play a mission with anyone.

I like that 'booking a game lobby' and find a whole squad to go up against---wasn't that what we were supposed to have or something similar? It would keep the FUN in this game and squads would interact.

I play for fun too and support any team member--that's WP rules, straight up!

I know that's true. You have played with me and against me regardless who is on the other team.

Doom,

Feel free to discuss this with your teammate, Wolfrider. I am sure there is some made up excuse for this level of game play.

If anyone sees a member of wolf pack engaging in this pathetic behavior I would encourage you to send a pm to Viper, Cypher,Black wolf, Direwolf or me and they will be delt with accordingly

thanks moon i know wolf pack would never engage in such low tactics just for a few points . The people involved had sent all the MoM players they shot in the rear a explanation and not apology as such its not really a sorry but they admit they did it in a 3rd person view lol. ie " it was a friend of mine" poor old husky got one too then he was asked out on a date by said softener .Husky admits he is a good kisser and is happily married so he declined the guys offer

For those troublesome shooting in the rear pains that just won't go away, why not try:-

Oh, I get it now, always wondered why some idiot on my team would put a few in me when taking off ,how stupid am I? DUH, didn't have a clue!
