Misunderstanding on ban was created by Imchicken1
Evening,

Map: Bamyan
Time: 1 min before this posting
What I was doing: Manning an AA emplacement on that tall hill near the centre of the map.

I think a misunderstanding happened. B4TM4N banned (temp?) me for killing at main. What I believe actually happend was that an AA missile redirected off of an A-10 that had just conducted a bombing run onto the trans choppers sitting at main.

I would ask for confirmation on this, and that admins be a little more restrained when suddenly banning/temp banning people.

Careful when shooting towards main bases as AA has quite extended range. The pilot complained that the lock was picked up over main.

Your ban was a 3 hour one.

it looks like the aa is clear across the whole map, so now he cannot even point that direction? im confused here to be honest.

To me it's an in-game coding problem worthy of solving.
To Wit:
1) Game does not allow building AA assets within range of DoD
2) Game allows building AA assests within range of DoD but projectile becomes a dud once target enters DoD
3) Modify our server rules such that once an aircraft is off the ground it's fair game since "the game" see's it that way too. And yes, I understand how problematic #3 is. Still, the question remains, are we smarter than the game or not?

Personally, I point AA at people's main whenever I want, but I intentionally do not lock or shoot in that direction.

The issue isn't looking at their main, or tracking vehicles, it's locking and engaging air assets over their main. Had the issue not been locks in close proximity to main base, there would not have been a temp-ban, as redirected missiles are a long-standing and infuriating bug.

With that however, you're saying the A10 (in this situation) would be free to attack the MEC positions without having to worry about being engaged. In the photo you posted you can see who he had just bombed, flying West to East along the mountain ridge that blocks the US main from the rest of the map.

Can I, as a CAS pilot, just stay low over my main and shoot at targets close enough? I don't believe that should gaurentee my safety, but if it does please let me know so I can use that as a tactic.
