So I’ve found a player because he uploads his achievements on youtube.
He spawns in a floatplane and proceeds to ram his teammates with his floats during takeoff/initial climb.
If he fails to do so - he rams his plane into them, or shoots them with guns.
I watched 20 of his battles from different days.
He did that thing in every single one of them.
He also slaughters his team with his squad. I reported him each time.
And then I realised - he’s not getting banned, but his victims get crew lock and sometimes are treated as teamkillers themselves, because when they explode, it counts as an attack against the rammer.
It seems even shooting somebody with guns every 3rd game is not a problem.
This means he’s playing the game as intended, and those who get elliminated should get better at War Thunder!
I trust Gaijin on this.
So, guys, what do you think? Will you embrace the ramming-the-teammate meta? Or are you going to create issues for the part of playerbase who simply have better understanding of what’s this game is all about?
Once again - I trust Gaijin on this. Cheating - punishable offence (and rightfully so). Getting rammed or shot by your teammate? It’s a fair game. You can choose to spawn a bit later, you can wait a bit before taking off, ger some speed instead of mindless climbing and DODGE.
I used to be really annoyed by this development. But then I realised:
It’s your own damn fault. Improve your take-off game, or suffer the consequences. Git gud.
If you refuse? Enjoy the crew lock and repair costs.
