Excuse my lack of knowledge but what happens when you surrender? And can everyone/every army surrender?

everyone can surrender just have to drop your kit when you surrender you just put up your hands people usally dont shoot but if even if they do kill you nothing bad happens to the killer.

LOL that vid is amazing

I think I got it I think if your re spawn time would be lowered to say 10 seconds if you get shot while in surrendering

So enemy players will try to keep you hostage to try to keep you out of battle while you will try to escape

you can get shot though because you cant run with your hands up so you will have to switch to normall to try to run away.

this way I think it will make the game more realistic and fun

well I think they would try to keep the hostage and prevent him/her from getting into combat

You know, i was thinking about that when watching the video about the 4th or 5th time. everyone should build a square "prision" out of barbed wire at their firebases. leave a spot just wide enough for 1 person it fit through and send them all in there.

well it does not take much to make a small POW jail place maybe have a gate that can only open from outside i bet there are plenty of people here that can do this.

Yeah, i forgot about that one. the one on Ramiel where they kept the guy in the tent by using the car was better though. but thats insurgency, what if you dont already have a position that easy to close off?

if you could build makeshift POW camps that would be sweet so that insurgents can hide the pilot somewhere

You couldint really hide the pilot as Blufor could just look at their map for the piloit.

maybe once the pilot surrenders (by dropping their kit?) they can not be traced and become neutral so that insurgents can lock em up

I was playing Lakshar valley(on T&T) as taliban v Brits towards the end of the round i was with my AA kit looking for the lynx in the sky i finally found it and shot it down and it crashed landed on the road near me about 100 meters up. I ran with some other guy to the crash site to find nothing but a supply crate. I kept looking around and saw the pilot with his hands up beside the river that runs down the middle of the map. I held him with my gun point to his head asking him in global chat 'give me a patch !' he gave it to me. I was thinking for somthing to ask of the team to give me for exchange of the piloit until a jeep came shooting at me and the other guy who was with me we both hit the dirt as tracers were shooting right next to us. we taught the piloit was wright beside us but we looked to see him at the supply crate requesting a kit we sprinted to the supply crate and we got their when he just got his kit and we both sprayed simutansilya whole mag into him and he died. 1 second (literlty) after this the game ended due to our last cache being taken out so we didnt have to withstand the rescue team just about to kill us.

Well done pilot for nearley killing us i think your name was [T&T] Rico (somthing like that)

Have you had any hostage missons like this where there is a downed pilot being held captive?

Devs please make the pilot kit be like 10 tickets so it can be more intense and it will make hostage rescuse a must.
The heli already takes a load of tickets anyways, with the pilot as 10 everytime a noob crashes a huey the game is over.


And with tickets at 10 the enemy would just shoot the pilots to make the other team lose tickets and fail.

I joined up with a squad that already had several Militia prisoners, we escorted them to one of the apartments and lined them up against the wall, pretty sure I don't have to explain the rest :twisted:

then make extreme punishments for it, like if you shoot him your team looses 10 tickets and they only loose one, and if you lets say capture him you gain intel on enemy firebases etc.

thats a good idea or maybe have the pilot only worth negative tickets when the enemy shoots him

doesn't arma 2 have surrender and how does that work?
