Well, it pisses me off, it’s absolutely exaggerated if you shoot down an ally in the simulator battle, which you don’t do on purpose… you pay 95 thousand silver lions straight away and the round is over… what are you thinking? How is that justified, I mean 15 thousand or 20 thousand does it too, then you don’t make that much minus if something like that happens…

Haveing a normal rewardin as in other mods, you could earn the money back and not only after killing the friendly, but after joining the game.
Its dumb and I hope thay fixed it in the newest update, because every day a lot of people disscuses it and hate it.

Absolutely agree.
Gaijins gamedesign in SIM expects you to rtb after 2 kills and waste your lifetime hiding and waiting for the 15 minutes timer to reset. Oh, and don´t die and respawn in the first 30 min. or you don´t even get your money back…
But have no fear, the rescue is near! Buy moar premium and be happy! Or something like that.
Sim economy is a joke, but a sad one…

Don’t Teamkill then? if you aren’t 100% sure that the target you are shooting at isn’t an enemy, maybe don’t shoot? Learn to IFF using your radar before you fire a missile etc…
Don’t just think everything that moves is an enemy lmao, learn from your mistakes instead of complaining about your own mistakes.

The IFF regularly fails. Maybe it’s realistic but it can’t be used as totally reliable method of identification.
I’ve yet to experience this…

If I understand the game mechanics correctly then it shouldn’t be possible to shoot a friendly if using with a FOX-3 with cyclic target selection unless locking with ACM/HMD but it still happens from time to time.
Well, only the aircraft has IFF, the missile doesn’t, as far as I know.
That is true. That’s however the most common way the teamkills occur. It has happened with FOX-1/2 as well. Even in situations where there couldn’t have been a friendly between the enemy and the friendly when locking.
I don’t know if it’s a game setting somewhere, but I personally can’t shoot at teammates, even in tanks, planes, or helicopters. Every time I want to shoot at someone, a blue crosshair appears in the crosshair and I’m forbidden from shooting at teammates.
It cna happen for a variety of reasons, and IFF sometimes can fail if the ally is in a dogfight or if he has recently dropped chaff, or sometimes if your radar is not given enough time to correctly pick up the target. Moral of the story is: WAIT BEFORE YOU SHOOT. I would make tk penalty even higher because it has always been a problem in every Missile Thunder br range. People dont take time to see who is in front of them, they fire first and ask second. I swear that 1/4 of all my deaths is a tk in sim, and I’m simply glad that penalties are so high. If it was for me, I wouldnt just put a SL penalty, I would also put a temporary ban on repeated offenders.
