Howdy,
I was in a Sidewinder server today and I spawned near one of the bases in the vicinity of two hogs. There were already two of my teammates fighting an enemy over the hogs, which ended in the two teammates taking the farther of the hogs and starting to enter the tunnel to the other nav. The enemy took the hog closest to me and started to drive off. I naded the hog (point blank, it was so close) and killed the other guy. I then drove off.
My question is, should I have attempted to flag my teammates down in the other hog, or just take the closest hog like I did? It is my personal experience that many drivers I have encountered choose not to take passengers, even when I fire off a burst. I thought that if I tried to go after my teammates, who were already halfway in the tunnel entrance, I would likely lose the chance to hog jack the other hog nearby. I hog jacked, and was subsequently told that I should have gone for the other hog. There was an admin in the server, but she was not around the area. The server didn't seem like the best place to argue or pursue this question anyway, as explaining would have clogged up the comments section. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated, thanks, and I hope I explained it well enough.
Note: I didn't feel mentioning the admin's name in a thread like this would be appropriate, but if any officer needs the name for clarification or anything, just PM me and I'll tell you.
