All over? They only removed tank-on-tank friendly fire in arcade and realistic ground battles. partially bc you could easily just kill open top’s crewmates, shoot tracks off and other trolling without punishment. (and then there was the teamkill mayhem of 2014) Everything else can still teamkill, even tank on plane in ground battles.
Teamkilling a squad friend for a joke: 7 days ban. Literally 1984.
Meanwhile woaisuopaoshuan is still cheating in simulative ground battles.
How about every teamkill on helicopters because people are trigger happy? How about all the teamkill in simulative because people don’t recognize helicopters?
You can’t deny access to the game just for a teamkill; they always happen, and you don’t care about most of them, like that many one on helicopters.

I hope the number of matches played is taken into account when looking at TK’s over a some time period
just because it’s your opinion that that’s okay doesn’t make it true though. but at least you’re okay with consequences.
I kinda adopted the opposite stance, if someone shoots me even without killing me, I just J out so they get a teamkill (especially in air), then report them and hope they get a temp ban for that. Eventually they’ll learn not to shoot teammates or get removed from the game. I don’t care enough anymore to fire back.
it’s almost like natural selection for people who can’t avoid regular accidental teamkilling.

how many matches do you think they played in just 2 weeks to “justify” 40 teamkills? and 40 TKs still make “i just TKed maybe once” a lie no matter if its in 40 or 400 matches.
Kinda want to know what that dude did. Probably a pe-8 moment.

i understand your point but if i can prevent it i always rather will have this tank or an ally with a brain left in my team and two respawns to have an impact on the match and help the team than having Trollboy123 running around rampant or wait until he finally manages to hit a weakspot.
now do you want to hear my story of my most hilarious teamkill?
You cannot tk in Air AB, you can only tk in grouna AB & RB using arty or by bombing, the same works in naval AB & RB . . . I said “all over the place” a subjective term that doesn’t mean “everywhere” . . . . oK?
You’ve never used a Fox3 in your life, right?
Teamkills should NEVER net a permanent ban, unless it is on the scale of using exploits to kill an entire team (see the runway bombing incidents a few years ago). Temporary week long bans should be the harshest punishment, since SL loss is already a massive drain on people who teamkill. We are at the point where hackers are put on the backburner to counter a problem that is nowhere near as bad as the elephant in the room. It almost seems as if the number of bans is being artificially increased by including teamkilling in order for Gaijin to make it look like more is being done about hackers…

ill send it to you anyways because its hilarious and shows what actually can happen in this game in sim:
So, it is 1943 deep in russia on the winter advance (or retreat i dont remember) of the push towards moscow close to the village of volokolamsk on the big version. me and a squadmate play germany at 6.7 br bracket and while hes in something big and slow i am in the funny wiesel so i speed around at the spawn around all the big chunky heavies. tons of kingtigers. after a couple of minutes (maybe 3) and we are still far away from the first cap i am ahead of the herd for maybe 200 m and the drama begins:
a wild allied plane appears to bomb the big cats. everything is in disarray. tiger commanders panic and i manage to shoot the plane down but he still manages to bomb an allied king tiger and damage him heavily. hes tracked and on fire, gun still working. so knowing i am much faster and will catch back up to my squadmate i speed back to help him repair, but alas! he mistakes me for a russian wiesel which we all know are plenty in the forests of russia in 1943 (or 44 i cant remember).
while dodging his gun and mg trying to run away from him and attempting to text him to stop in cruise control it doesnt help the tiger commander is absolutely furious and shellshocked. but i manage to drive next to him after having dodged his gun for maybe 20 seconds with all nearby tigers watching my absolute desparate attempts to not die to play the wiesel on an actual good long range map. i am safe for now. i text in chat again to tell him that i am ally and i just shot the bad boy that scared him so much and came back to help repair. when his barrel was back up and he still didnt text back i shot it out again to be able to get away safely and tracked him as a piece to think about.
until then the kingtiger crew must have been in complete disarray. unable to leave the tank cause the absolute gremlin from the future with a 20 mil was lurking next to the tank out of sight and (hopefully not) unable or probably unwilling to repair again he jd out while i was driving away rewarding me with a glorious blue on blue kingtiger kill in the wiesel that sparked great disbelief in the enemy team.
THE END

I know more than good how radar and FOX-3 missiles works, you cant be seriously telling me that that 120 going for the friendly wasn’t a spaghetti code problem.
The missile´s radar is looking at a RCS the sice of a house.
I know it can happend, but things like this are not normal.
@cortbowan take also a look

I mean it’s nice to see they are revamping the TKing Policy. I just hope Gaijin takes into consideration the context of why it occurred.

lol! im banned for… hear me out… 1 HOUR! i know, im not really into teamkilling. because actually my silver lions will drain and eventually system will auto-ban me for 3 days… but… please dont get mad, teamkilling is really fun. it is exceptional. whatever or whenever or however it happens, it is fun but also annoying.
let me to be honest: i purposefully teamkill for every 15-20 air rb match(maybe 30-50 and also i love teamkilling teamkillers too!). im not gonna lie… my account is almost 7 years old, i have 2000 hours, i spend at least 400 $ to this game… but i never really get banned like THIS. i dont know, should i be “mad” because you banned me for 1 hours or i be “happy” because YOU ACTUALLY manuelly reviewed my teamkillings?
why im banned for just 1 hour? and that one hour just start when i logged into game. i have currently 160 days of premium. if you banned me for 1 week or longer, my money would be waste… i really wanna know… if i didnt buy premium time, would my ban be longer than after login 1 hour?
Got banned for TK, but didn’t play the game for 3 days lol

I just love tjat they talk about “competitive” in the main article while allowing troll squads in grb and arb, allowing crazy stupid 1 spawn players… and even promote to buy a prem tank ypu dont have a lineup for…
If i read the rules and one of them would be fair play… every one spawn prem hightier tank player with less then 1000p needs to get banned.
Only then we finally get this game back into a direction where u can call is competitive pvp.
Oh and fkn remove the stupid ticket bleed in air rb… 5 out of 10 battles end on stupid ticket bleed instead of pvp aspecs.
And yes i know necro cant change anythink on it but i know he/she (not sure tbh) thinks kinda the same in many aspects.
While i agree people need consequences for actions. Almost a quarter of 100k for what i assume is TKs. Seems a little heavy handed

Well i support to ban tk in a way, but the issue is clear… a missle often loses track amd tk then cant be counted the same as an on purpose bomb on a friendly… there is so super many different situations where a tk was not intendet… and sometimes a tk is intendes and shoumd still not be penalieses, excample: u kill a troll with a b109 ind a 12.0 arb game… that troll has to be hunted, thats what we do with trolls in pvp games and that shoumd be the standart if not, in best case, not even possible to spawn in a troll plane.
As the article say, its a competitive game… dont ruin the match for your team by willingly trolling
