I just want to know how I got banned for intentionally hurting a teammate in Land War Arcade? As far as I know there is no way to cause friendly fire in Land War Arcade, so I was extremely confused when I saw this, can anyone answer this question for me?
Are you able to bomb teammates in “land war arcade?” I don’t play it, but that seems the only way to me
You can still cause damage while piloting a aircraft and damage a ground vehicle or while driving a ground vehicle you can still damage aircrafts.
Can throw bombs at teammates, but they won’t cause any damage.
As far as I know, in Arcade mode, it does not cause damage to friendly forces. I know in Historical and Simulation modes, it does.
Were you attacking friendly planes? If you use any explosive shells, rockets, or otherwise and there was a low flying friendly that could damage them. Machine gun fire as well I believe
No, I flew the entire game as an anti-air vehicle and only attacked enemy helicopters.
Could a friendly plane have flown into your fire? If not that then something extremely rare could have happened. I saw a video on it once, where a plane flew close to incoming artillery and was damaged by the explosions, if not hit directly. Very unlikely thought
Probably not, my play style was no different from normal. I now wonder if it’s because although there is no friendly fire mechanism in Arcade Mode, the attack will still be recorded as “intentional damage to friendly forces”. At the end of that game, almost all of us were concentrated at the enemy’s spawn point. When the last vehicle of the enemy was resurrected, everyone rushed up. At that time, I was in the sky shooting the last person on the opposite side with a missile.
In arcade ground battles you can still damage airplanes (including allies units) and ground vehicles. At the same time you can also damage allied airplanes while driving a ground vehicle, but you can’t damage other ground vehicles while driving a ground vehicle, this is what I mean.
Is that right?? I often celebrate by shooting missiles at teammates when we are about to win, but no damage is done.
Strange, you were supposed to jus be kicked out from that match and back to hangar? Honestly i dont remember if bombs can kill friendlies in arcade but probably yes since you get a warning when you do it, artillery can kill friendlies and i did killed a couple of team mates by accident with that.
You can damage teammates without any penalty after the “Mission accomplished” or “Mission failed”, after this moment you can’t gain or lose anything, if I’m not wrong is around 7 seconds long if you ask me.
Yes, you are right, artillery fire can cause friendly fire even in arcade mode, I forgot about that.
I am glad to see that team killers get a temp ban.
The threshold for getting a temp ban is very high. And according to this data:
You played several hundred matches of Ground RB and Air RB in the last 4 weeks too.
In other words:
You team killed multiple times, got a temp ban and you have the audacity to create a forum post and steal the time of others with your story…
If you see earlier in the thread, they talk about themselves shooting celebratory rockets at teammates. This probably means they did not realize they were teamkilling, and you are jumping to conclusions

there are serval different rules of teamkilling you might want to recheck them.
you might have gotten banned for purposefully leading an enemy to your teammates location thats a teamkill ban. you might have pushed them out of cover to use them as a shield thats a ban and many many more reason either way your lucky it was only 1 day most of them go for 1 week

TK bans are automated. You got one not because you TKed once, because you’ve TKed a lot recently, you should have gotten a warning prior to the actual ban, so you must have ignored it.
TLDR: Dont bomb your teammates

You’re jumping the gun on this…
Is the warning before the ban? Or before you get kicked from the game. I have seen a warning that I’m about to get kicked whenever I shoot at my friends plane in ARB, but I don’t do it enough, or even teamkill at all to have gotten to the warning stage as far as the whole game ban goes
