Define ramming...

Most of us will think of ramming as crashing a transport into a walker or gunship.
Which is just lame cause it only proves you're unable to kill it otherwise and there's no real battle or fight involved. (you deliberately choose a transport, not tank or walker to kill it)
But what about ramming with an APC during a long battle against a tank, walker or APC?
Just to speed things up or finish the job.

I hate transport ramming cause there is no fight involved, the walker cant ram you back and its mostly a suicide mission.
Ground vehicle ramming is more like a destruction derby.
Everyone has equal chances which can actually make it fun...

What are your thoughts on this?

I think ramming with airtransport on a walker s sometimes necessary, i take a exemple, when you have a noob team and 2 walker in front of you you can't nothing do...
But ramming with gunship i hate it...

I think ramming is ok, if its like ground units vs each other, like driving a jeep into a walker and then trying to destroy it on foot. But you have already mentioned, what ramming we mean. We mean like gunship-gunship, transporter- any vehicule. I think transporter- gunship is hard to decide. the gunship can get out of the way, but I still think its a ram.
If no ramming was allowed a roadkill would technically also be a ram, jeep ramming a soldier lol. Definiton is to use your brains, and if you dont have much brains, read this thread

Transport ramming, when done properly, is very, very safe for the rammer.

The key to effective transport ramming is to catch the enemy vehicle in a position granting him limited maneuverability - for example the offices near silo 5, the bridges going out from the central silo, any place where there's no place to run.

The second important thing is to catch the pilot by surprise, preferably by attacking from behind.

The third is choosing the right altidude. Low altitude means slow descent, meaning easier aiming, as the vehicle will "sweep" a larger area. High altitude means an easier and sneakier approach, but requires better aiming, as the transport will drop on a limited area.

For the record I never initiate transport ramming, but when any hostile player breaks this convention then my assumption is that it no longer applies to this game.

After all, common courtesy of war is - "We both have NBC weapons, but you don't use yours and I won't use mine."
