Friendly fire question

Some creature rammed my plane on the takeoff in air rb - no idea on purpose or not. Both planes crashed, but I was fined 50k for “friendly fire”. Seriously? Get me my 50k back!

Only way that could happen is if you snapped off some rounds just before crashing; your rounds hit him so the server counts his collision as a result of you shooting.

I’m not defending the guy just explaining a mechanic.

This issue exist for years - i saw dozens of not processed bug reports about such incidents.

Gaijin has severe issues to determine who is the ramming guy - and who is the victim.

It is basically the advanced level of team killing:

Those guys intentionally ramm you from behind, destroying your tail/rudder/elevator and you crash. If their own aircraft crashes in this process the game assumes that the victim of the ramming attack is a teamkiller.

In the pinned team killing follow up thread you will find your described incident multiple times. Like here:

Sorry mate, this is flat wrong.

My man the only time I see this happen is when one party shoots the other party just before colliding. As in I have been that party in the past. Every collision I have been in where no rounds were involved, no one was listed as TKd, both were listed as just dead.

What you are citing does not refute that.

This is false.
I had a match a couple of days ago where a Bison crossed my path at air spawn and since I died on impact while he was critically damaged and later crashed i was the one fined.

(I was watching tik tok so i am 100% sure i didn’t shoot)

This has never happened to me without shooting since 2014 when I first started. Yet what has happened, is exactly what I described. I have never been in a no-shoot collision where someone was listed as TK’d. And I used to ram people on purpose.

Well they exist… and you have multiple people’s experiences

I have what multiple people choose to share and how they choose to frame it.

I am a billionaire married to a well known actress. So well known that I can’t tell you who she is.

😐…

Well it’s true because I shared it.

I will find the replay just for you this afternoon ok pookie?

I don’t care what you do.

Maybe OP should actually keep up with his thread instead of making it just seem like another drivey-by “gaijin screwed me!” thread of one post and then nothing.

Oh oh someone doesn’t have a response to that

I don’t care what you do is a response.

A lame one that doesn’t defend your argument at all

My argument needs no more defending. I have told you what I have experienced for years. And if you want to dig up replays you can do so; I don’t care if you do or don’t. How can this be more clear for you?

This is over far as I am concerned. I’m not a “debate me bro” Gen Z. I don’t do what you’re doing. It’s stupid.

I am not doing anything🤣
You went as far as saying that others’ experiences are either false or framed in a certain way and that only you know how things work because of your experiences.

That’s a pretty weak opinion…

And no, i don’t wanna debate you i have better things to do, but i don’t like being wrong or called a liar…

So we’re done then? Cool.

Yea, you can get fined for a tk even if you don’t shoot. Done it to an F4S and has had it happen to me.

On a seperate thought though, Think theres a bug report for this or was it shot down my #1 again?
