coachjohn Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Was playing a battle - had a recon group in the second floor call in for smoke about four blocks down the road. When the first shell came down on them it wiped out my recon group. Is this just fratricide or a bug? If this sounds stupid I’m still not very good at this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 LOL sounds like your spotting round landed on your guys. A very rare event but I have had a spotting round do that once. Surprised that a smoke round would wipe out the group though unless it is WP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Yeah, just bad luck. IIRC FO's in real life can tell the FDC's that the target is "Danger Close" whereby the FDC takes extra care in doing its calculations. This takes longer before the first rounds appear of course, but it can help prevent friendly fire. P.S. I'm not asking BFC to add this as a feature as it's really rather rare. Four blocks isn't that far away so it would be danger close. What type of spotting team were they I'm betting they weren't a designated TO&E F.O. team.
