Adjusting friendly fire settings on an Over The Top: WW1 server adds a significant layer of tactical depth by forcing players to prioritize target identification during chaotic trench raids. This change discourages the reckless use of grenades and suppression fire, as every shot or explosive throw requires careful consideration of teammate positioning. By introducing consequences for stray fire, the server promotes a more disciplined, squad-focused gameplay style that mirrors the perilous nature of Great War combat.
