Can friendly ship ramming be considered just like ramming the enemy?

[SinqueScheiDeMona]

It's preferable to being literally thrown out into the enemy line of fire. At least that way I get some compensation. 

 

[Chronokin]

No? No.

[Terrible_Turtle]

You want allied ships to outright delete each other when they get a little frisky?

 

Hell no.

Hell no. 

I can imagine the salty forum posts and threads now

[SnowDriftTurtle]

No thanks.

Also, no... let's keep the ramming mechanics as is for Green-on-Green rams

This would be fine if it wasn't so easy to collide with each other. So yeah, no.

No...  But make enemy ramming like friendly ramming...

 

I mean don't get me wrong, I like ramming, but a BB in full reverse and another in full reverse just barely scraping bow paint resulting in a mass explosion...  Wish they'd rework it so the lightest touch didn't result in instant death.  Scrape paint, damage tick down...  But you cleave a BB in half with the bow of your BB, yeah big Boom.

They do already when they don't pay attention to where they fire torpedoes or rounds. 

[RivertheRoyal]

No. I don't want to be punished for my friendly friskiness.

Given the number of friendly brush ups at the start of the match, I foresee the average game lasting all of two minutes;)

[Jiggiwatt]

No. Nyet. Nein. Non. Ne. Nei.

 

The last thing I want is for a cruiser with tunnel vision to detonate my magazine instead of scraping the paint.

Just make it extended contact then or up the damage exponentially over time that contact is maintained. It's only enjoyable for one person might as well bring back the Kitakami as a free ship for all.

It's not the cruiser 95% of the time.

I can see so many ways this could be abused heavily.

Please no.  

[TTK_Aegis]

No, I've seen way too many DDs and cruisers that seem to think a BB can stop or turn on a dime.

Please yes. It's an arcade game I get it. However an arcade ship game not bumper car tanks. Encouraging moving in forward gears and maneuvering should be a thing, no? I already most everyone is against the idea of personal responsibility and accountability so this will be my last post in this thread. Cheers all.

[grumpymunky]

As they are now? No.

 

If the collision damage was in any way believable? Probably still no.

[Pope_Shizzle]

No.

Put a troll in a DD or cruiser. They keep extended contact with allied battleship. Ship with the less health sinks first. Now you have a pink battleship.

 

Or, they keep rubbing up against allied ships, robbing them of most their health. Someone snaps, shoots troll because nobody likes losing health. 

 

 

Look, I get that you think people on the internet have the personal responsibility and accountability to not do things like that. 

They really don't.

And I don't get how a change like this would be "Encouraging moving in forward gears and manoeuvring". I don't know about you, but all the collisions I've had were because I was moving forward at speed, and trying to shift rudder in one direction or another. 

Most of us don't like running into allied ships anyway. Adding something like this on top of it would just be a tad asinine.  

[TTK_Aegis]

No.
