Friendly fire is something that happens in real life, but people are getting temporary bans for accidental TK.
Any type of TK is being treated as intentional, which in this case is the problem since TK is hard to avoid in Sim modes and Toptier ARB. (Missiles are unpredictable and fox1 has a tendency to go after the ally even if the radar never lost the main target)
edit: I even gave up playing Sim using fox 1 and fox3 missiles since many times the IFF doesn’t even work

What is that supposed to mean?
True, but 32 jet planes in a 4km radial furball isn’t a reflection of real life. If it were, it would be a madhouse of friendly fire. Gaijin wants friendly fire “realism” in a completely artificial environment. This is the inherent paradox and why this exhausting discussion will NEVER END - these teamkill threads will ALWAYS be active - because…Gaijin.

Good to see Captain_Cobvious, who has rammed/teamkilled hundreds or mayb thousands of players and has a youtube account where he showed tiny fraction of his exploits was not banned. GJ guys, it’s important to remember fair play is about ramming friendlies with floats and shooting those who dodge.
This is the pinnacle of fair play:

Amazingly galling in the second vid, at 1:30, where Guy #1 says, in reference to his mass-team killing, “I’m not at all concerned,” and Guy #2 quickly replies, “There’s no reason to be concerned.”

I’m amazed at his buttery smooth respectable attitude. Imagine how many players he bestowed upon with his fair play to get so effective with it.

While I think this is a good thing it could lead to a lot of trouble, particularly in air sim. And by reading some of very rude responses here it seems you Gaijin dont care at all.
In a game where you can have F5, F104, MiG 21/23/29, F16, F15 and others facing each other enforcing this zero tolerancy policy is, in a very polite way to say it, unwise. Oh, and guess what? In the next update you will have the chinese mirage to worry about if its an enemy or not.
If we look specially at the F5, where the japanese, american and chinese version can have very similar camos, flying one and expecting to eyeball if the other F5 flying circles with you is friendly or not is absurd.
The F16 is even worse since all base camos are the same, except tiny decals that if you are close enough to see it you already crashed into the other plane.
TK’s were always getting temporary bans, that’s nothing new.

Taking I-153 to top tier should result in lifetime instant ban. Trolling your teams is the problem, not people rightfully teamkilling the offender. Same applies to killstealers.
Going to have fun watching your rants when you end up with a perma ban for doing so
It isn’t against the rules, and it isn’t a negative thing to do. It sucks for the person who lost out on the chance to get a kill, but you also can’t claim kills before you get one.
As i saw you took actions vs a guy team killed a nuke carrier some time ago - it would be great if you could consider this case as worth your time too.
Technically seen those guys produce way more harm than guys team killing a nuke carrier as they encourage brand new players to stop playing wt at a very low level. Those victims won’t invest money if they get clapped this way…

Apparently ramming is not against the rules either and it’s not negative either.
Killstealing is one of the things that are clearly counterproductive, HURT the team effort, oftentimes ruin the match for the entire team, as dangerous enemy is not engaged and can attack at will.
It also promotes 0 skill gameplay.
So of course it’s not negative in your eyes XDDD
Wonder how much one has to hate normal players to not see the problem with these leeches.
I only care about teamkillers who teamkill innocent people.
Threaten me with a ram - get shot.
Steal my kills - get shot.
Ignore the dangerous enemy and go for the target I’m in the process of destroying and die in a full commit head-on - if you by some miracle get resurrected, I’ll shoot you again.
But killstealers are gaijin target demographic, so of course killstealing is OK and retaliation for rat-like behaviour is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

I would bet no money on this - the fellow player is way more relaxed than years ago. And i actually prefer open words instead of circling around the topic.
How is getting a kill that your teammates can’t get counterproductive?
You deserve to be banned if you intentionally TK others due to childish reasons like that.
“Leeching is when teamwork” What you call kill stealing can be considered teamwork. You helped an enemy get in a state that allowed for a teammate to quickly eliminate them.

If I get prma-banned for taking out the “cream of WT crop” - so be it, this community is toxic as hell, so I wouldn’t be surprised if such event got loudly applouded by killstealer and AF camper jocks.
No.
It’s the opposite.
Guess why I don’t killsteal?
Because there are better targets. Almost always. There’s better use for my energy. And I want to see my teammates REWARDED for the work they did.
I once got the kill for literally hitting a guy with 4 8mm MG bullets. It somehow counted as “crit”, yet it did next to nothing.
Then my teammate set him on fire and generally crippled his plane. Enemy bailed out, I got the kill.
What did I feel? Shame, that the guy who did most of the work and good shooting ended up with a useless assist.
You can call killstealer elimination “childish”, but you don;'t seem to be the prime example of “high standards”, so I honestly should not even take this seriously.

I do not think that you get the point of the fellow player.
Everybody is entitled to play wt like he wants to play. And as soon as you play on a competitive level (wt is first and foremost nothing more than a vehicle based shooter) the points he made are comprehensible - even if you don’t share his pov.
For example - i share this pov:
and even killed some guys which tried to team kill me. If i would get a temp ban for doing this - so be it. I simply see my universal right for self-defense as higher value.
