Explain this to me...

So shooting out tires before engagement is violating RDM and such...but rotor-tapping isn't?

[John Winkle 42]

As far as im aware. Shooting tires before engagement is considered “scating” rules, which isnt allowed. But rotor tapping is fine as long as they don’t explode. 

[Sir Klutch 19]

Rotor-tapping is engagement but shooting out tires before initiation is RDM. How does this make sense? Shooting tires makes one slower. Rotor tapping makes one immobile, which according to the support staff on the other post about this gives an unfair advantage.

[Jester 394]

Was that you or someone else that joined Support Room about this?

[Sir Klutch 19]

Someone else but it doesn't make sense. Exact quote from support staff on other post:

"You have given them NO command/demand to comply to. Also you have now stranded someone with little options of escape before you've engaged them... its common sense... in a game where RP and engagement is needed, its should be common sense that you need to engage with someone BEFORE shooting at them."

 

Why is this different for rotor-tapping?

 

[Reckless 42]

They should just make it so shooting tires isn't rdm. It isn't really skirting rules

you got a good point there fella

[Fuzz^ 243]

Yea the shooting out tires thing is kinda bullshit. But now since you posted this its just gonna add to the list of things i cant do. 

[MAV 1684]

imo rotor tapping is the same as shooting tires

but im not an admin so..

[ChubbyElf 324]

Yeah I feel like as long as you're not damaging the player you should be allowed to do whatever, whether it be shooting tires, rotor tapping, or even driving in front of a plane if it doesn't cause injury/death.

To be honest rotor should not be allowed at al.. after all how is a chopper supposed to be able to disable another like that without taking damage.. it is exploiting arma coding imo

So you're saying you want people to be able to just ram your car with theirs and if they break a wheel to "immobilize" you now it's fair game to just blow each other away.. Okay.

i dont want ethier

[ItsGG 1477]

Rotor tapping is fun...just not on cop 

[QKSILVR73 257]

RDM for shooting out tires? Please!! Now if the resulting escalates to the tire shooter killing the driver/passengers in said vehicle yes RDM.

[McBear 21]

Rotor tapping only makes you immobile after you crash and burn hitting the ground XD

Whatever you do please make the choices clear. Right now it is a very large grey area and I honestly don't know why rotor tapping is allowed if it causes conflict without proper engagement.

I know you're not the one mainly responsible for rule changes but please consider making a clarification post for these rules.
