I was just testing new Calliope in the cheat-mod.

so you know, i called in calliope, spawned 2 mortars, two raketens, IR hftk and kubel. then I fired the calliope.

Then I realised i did not switched the team properties of these lambs I wanted to slaughter.

This reminded me of (which I believe was ninja patched in couple of months ago) how almost non existent team damage is in this game. There is a huge problem for this.

let's say there are two parties intermingled in each other and one party purposely closed in to mitigate artillery fire, you know because LOGIC. but no, a full katty barrage can come in straight on to the heads of both players and only the enemy will suffer and teammate will come out unscathed.

I believe this change was a quick Chinese knock-off of Band-aid response to random trolls in team games who attack their teammates.

But I believe the change should be reverted.

I would say yes so if you've got infantry hugging your own troops, you better not try to mortar/shoot tank shells at them.

I accidentally hit the middle ground option, though.....

I would support reduced damage for allies but full damage on enemies and your own troops. I don't know if I'd want full damage on allies because we know how toxic this game is already. There's a reason for the word filter, and ragers and griefers are mad about that too.

I'd like it as you would have to be aware of danger close. However, there needs be some punishment for greifers and such. Maybe using abilities/artillery on friendlies not near enemy units in a certain radius?

100% damage all the way. Maybe let it be an option for custom games though.

In my experience with DoW2, actual griefing was pretty rare. And if someone wants to ruin the game for you, they'll fine a way. Best to just shrug it off and try your best not to play with them again.

Yes sir ! It's like teamkill in FPS games it's necessary.
However it's better if its go along with kick system if a player make to much team damage.

No FF just promotes cheesy and non-tactical gameplay.

Yes, if I would fire a rocket on my enemy and my friend gives the rocket a headbutt he'd be dead in real life, so why not in game

Can someone confirm the actual percentage on team damage right now?
Because it's not uncommon for my tanks or mortars to kill my teammate's soldiers. I've seen it a lot.

And, yes, 100% team damage please. Or at least somewhere above 50%.

Full damage, did hit the middle ground by accident...
Would make you think twice of using a mortar/barrage ... Good idea!
