simple question

[dzacball]

Hi,
my simple question is: if my vehicle gets stuck, and i use another vehicle to push it, and thus free it, is that a "Vehicle Death Match"?
Nobody gets hurt, nothing explodes..
thanks for your reply,
cheers

Grey area mate:

• I seen someone do it last week and get banned
• BUT, I have seen others do it in role play such as mentors and what not.

Its a tough call, I'd play it safe and just leave it / try to use the unflip tool.

If you decide to do it, don't go with 10KM/H go with about 2 or something along those lines.

But as Phalanx said, I would play it safe and just unflip it.

Let's suppose I land my chopper too close to a building, the main rotor goes down, so it needs to be pushed 1 meter away from the building before repairing it. I ask someone in my gang, who happens to be nearby, to push my chopper..

I think we have all seen this hundreds of millions of times.. why would anyone call this a (vehicle) death match !? : ]

I think rules should be perfectly clear about this, because this is a serious issue. You can easily get your vehicle chopped if you leave it behind..

I believe this is ok, however it is a grey area as said before. In the rules it says it is VDM to:

"ram into other vehicles in and outside combat"

Which is what makes it confusing.

Yes, it's grey area and confusing. It should be cleared. My friend got banned 2 days ago while freeing(pushing) the chopper that I landed too close to a building. He was driving at probably 2 km/h, he obviously didn't want anything to blow up, we were all very close.. 5 of us, in a gang.

Honestly, i could hardly believe he got banned.. 5 of us in the same gang running around a stuck chopper.. it was so obvious that we weren't VDMing.. hell there wasn't even anyone else around.

I have been playing here for many many months , and have seen millions of these situations. Even cops asked me to help them with their stuck SUVs.. 

I think there should either be a rule specifically prohibiting freeing a stuck vehicle by pushing it, or there should be an exception to VDMing if the goal of the "ramming" is to free your own vehicle..
