Don’t forget using ESS in the spawn to blind team mates so they get to the CAP first and constantly spamming MG at you to give your position away.

My favorite War Thunder teammate moment is the classic teammate T bones you and keeps going forward until you inevitably get shot

I think Game has its fair share of ego players who get malding rly quick or let out their frustration from previous match in current one and then just play like a d*
I even had pushers in the Snowball Event. 2nd match i got into it, i shot someones target symbol and he just kept pushing me against the wall. couldnt move and had to J out :/
Even smoke grenades, at least ESS can be seen through with NVD but smoke grenades are a flashbang. I’d say half the playerbase does not know what a team is and thus what teamplay and everything team-related is. Oh, and I’m not blaming premium vehicle users at this point, veterans do it with similar proportion.

Game kinda promotes the ego play tho, Team vs Team MP and it doesnt even have an Voicechat. Not even an optional one. And many of the Rewards u get are better by doing stuff alone like an objective capture you get more rewards doing it alone and given the grind many will try to rush and do it alone

I get that the game has many aspects that see it being played as an individual game because players all have their own agendas like completing different battlepass daily and special tasks etc, which all have different objectives, but I didn’t read anywhere that being an a…hole is part of the deal. Furthermore, while the game used to be somewhat team oriented, and players USED to help each other from time to time, other than squads, those days seem to be over, so perhaps there should be an option for a non-multiplayer version? idk… Just spitballing.
Naval?

My own teammates constantly make me wish for a solo mode

This one genuinely baffles me, when I see people coming to cap alongside me I always wait for them so everyone can get the rewards, when I found out doing this gives less than just caping by myself I started wondering if Gaijin really wants to award teamwork
Remember, even second-hand smoking is harmful, so PLEASE stop pressing [G] around your teammates.
You guys know that you can report players for bad conduct? And that this is more likely to have consequences than talking here?
literally wont do anything
i report every teamkiller and i have never recieved the “report acted upon” message
I have received that message frequently.
But I never seen action taken in these pages.
In general, if they do in on purpose you can report them for pushing you around.
( Screenshot from the Code of Conduct )
A guide on how to create a correct report for each issue can be found here: (How to properly report players and contact Game Masters!). Please note that some issues cannot be reported using the in-game complaint system as the reports won’t contain the necessary logs to investigate.
Though i have seen this happen from time to time due to them just being in gunners sights and not seeing you while they are driving, though in those cases they usually apologize and stop pushing rather quickly.
That notification is only sent to the player whose specific report is used to punish a player, if 10 players report the same offender then only one of those players will get the notification, the other 9 will not. So not getting the notification doesn’t mean no action was taken.
Additionally, teamkills are also a slightly different, if the teamkill show up in the destruction log then there is an automated system that handles those and no report is needed (but can still be good to make as those reports are sometimes still used in other aspects of moderation), i’m uncertain if the automatic teamkill ban system sends out the notification of action or not. If the teamkill doesn’t show up in the destruction log then it has to be reported using the Server Replay Report function on the main War Thunder website, the in-game complaint system won’t contain enough information in those cases.
idk why Gaijin don’t disable collision like they did for plane on the runway for like 10s after first spawn.
I think it’s because for ground vehicles that might be exploited very differently compared to planes. for example by teammates spawning in simultaneously, driving into each other and then not separating the vehicles to stay immortal indefinitely.
