If this is occurring, hit up the Game Masters
This has been occurring for a while. More so in recent times. When contacted, their standard response is to report it in game and they’ll take care of it. I’ve already reported few people with more serious offenses to GMs, Those players never got punished.
This is one such post which I forwarded to several GMs. The player(s) in question never got punished and I still see them regularly in sim.
Mind out that they won’t tell you if they got acted upon, but also if they claim to not have been acted on to take that with a truckload of salt…
You want to contact GMs by PM, but also do that with this… You want to hit them up as if they’re constantly doing it, then it should be very obvious about what theyare doing, and it should almost get to a point that the Community Managers should be stepping in as the bad players are becoming more and more emboldened by nothing seeming to be being done, or precedents being set.
I am aware of that. But I literally saw those players roaming in sim (after the complaints) without a care in the world doing the same shit. I also periodically check if those players have any penalty imposed on them (statshark website shows this). I did not see any of them having a penalty except one guy who got a simple chat ban after several counts of offenses like team kills. Do you think this is a fair reporting system?
FYI, game masters are not employees of Gaijin but rather volunteers. They do not have any obligation to spend their time to go after all the reports. They claim that reports are acted upon only after manual verification to avoid false penalties. But given the population of the game and the number of game masters (combined with the fact that they only check these reports at their convenience), this leads to nothing but a hit or miss (miss being the common case) reporting system. Gaijin with its stingy tactics is the only one to blame for this.
Keep taking it to the Game Masters, and escalate it if you don’t think it’s going right.
I had to hit them up a lot about my situation where players were j-ing out before the bomb blew in ground RB, and even then they only acknowledged it as bad player behaviour rather than the exploiting that it genuinely is.
If enough do report it and show it, they’ll have no choice but to acknowledge that it is an exploit and that those doing it are exploiting to avoid giving an enemy the kill, no matter how much those who excuse it try and say that they died anyway…
It’s about avoiding that credit, when there’s not a j key IRL, and you have no choice what you die to.

I do report to GMs in case of repeat offenses but that should not be the case right? Affected players shouldn’t have to follow up with mods to act on their reports, especially when several reports were lodged against a single player.
I’ve reported one guy to GMs several times with video / replay proofs of intentional team-killing. He was never banned. He still plays daily (just checked in replay page).
You need to PM them as per the who to contact page, if they don’t answer, hit the next up and keep escalating it.
It doesn’t matter if you see them keeping on playing, because they will be punished and have the opportunity to continue playing.
It’s about raising the issue with those who can do things about it and make the stance that’s needed.
I do send PMs to them. I find GMs here, filter the active ones by checking their profile and PM them. I don’t get any response in most cases.

That’s the thing, there is no punishment in most cases.
You need to look at this then rather than just the groups…
I do refer to it as well, many GMs in that list are not active (at-least recently). Some of the GMs whom I pinged are listed in both posts.
Trust me when I say this,
This, and the crashing into the ground players when aams are within 2 miles of an enemy aircraft
Keep fighting them.
It seems that this behavior has trained the farmers to hope that we will get fed up with fighting them and leave.
It’s really annoying, but in their poor brains, the only reason we keep fighting them is because we’re doing the same development and tasks as them.
So we have no choice but to teach them that this won’t happen.
And we, the SB players, have to teach them that this mode is not a place for migrant workers to have their way.
Welp, A game master just confirmed that denying kills like that is not punishable.
Their words “I don’t think denying kills is technically punishable; poor gameplay for sure, but not really punishable by any means”.
When these AAMs are guided into this target at all would be better
As I said, escalate it.
It’s a bad playership matter.
They are avoiding the creditting of a kill, to make your effort and reward nulled for aboslutely nothing but spite, and that is impacting your game because that was a dead to rights kill.
Being killed is 135 points, which they are losing.
If Gaijin actually educated players in game about the scores they would realise that they’re throwing away at least some of their reward for spite.
135 points is nearly 0 points compared to the reward for killing a plane.
Throw away a little of my rewards to deny a lot of yours. :)
If you die a second before you get your Useful action those 135 points are worth 40% of your max reward.
40% can pay for your respawn and get you some RP.
It’s not ‘a little’ at all.

I would say give you the kill but this does happen sometimes irl lmao
Or crash when you are just out of gun range.
A kill would be fine but even an assist would be better than nothing…
