Team killing policy - follow up thread

Fragment radius is arbitrary as fragments can travel significantly further sometimes and you usually only have one chance to drop a 5k bomb before dying

Tough luck

Well enjoy your future ban when accidentally kill a guy with a missile or bomb

I doubt gaijin has implemented such a system, but it should be possible to implement a system that checks to see what target was locked at the time that the player pulled the trigger for firing an air to air missile. If the intended target was an enemy, then bans shouldn’t be on the table as far as punishments go.

Kinda hard to play tanks when you’re regularly being de-atomized by friendly Pe-8’s, who can’t use the old Mk.I eyeball before pressing space bar too.

Imho gaijin might introduce such a feature rather fast.

I mean if you read the official post:

… the key word is “(including intentional ramming)” - so they found a way to determine that - finally.

Based on this post:

…even GMs have not more information.

The only logical way to determine an “intentional ramming” is to connect the in-game view from the ramming player’s perspective to the result of the ramming attack whilst considering the actual flight path of both planes as ramming happens mostly from behind., speed might play a role too.

Therefore it should be rather easy to attach an attribute to every fired AAM (like locked on enemy or not) and determine than intentional or not.

Maybe i should avoid Air RB top tier for a while i might get ban by accident
this is what happen when you used automated to decide for you
It can’t tell the difference between intentional or accidental, so it assumes TK = Ban no matter what

Last 3 weeks I had games where random retards decides to ram you out of the air, while flying and minding my own business. Guess what, both die, while being the one who was rammed out of the air, I get the teamkill. That happened 5 times. bbbbbuuuut waiiit, system will figure out if it was intentional or not. Surely it did, I got banned. Game can’t even understand that I was the one who was teamkilled, but according to the game, teamkiller is me. sure sure, that’s how gaijin treats their players. First fix the algorhytm then start banning, because now it’s just useless and dumb.

I think that Big A** bomb may not be the best choice for Close Air Support…

Just saying.

When I have heard gaijin have banned teamkillers, I wanted to see how many crying people will be all over forum and other social media. Love to read the cries.

To Gaijin for doing so:

How about just disabling teamkills outside sim battles? It costs nothing and no toxicity. No accidental tk’s on daily basis flying shitty aircraft and etc.

Not only is it allowed, there’s even an award.

The pure fact that players are too stupid to understand & accept that friendly fire belongs to warfare gaijin calls “realistic” is sad enough. These folks ruined RB. In order to avoid repetitions - an extract from another thread:

Imho you touched the core issue of this - but from the wrong angle.

  1. The plain fact that gaijin was forced to turn off friendly fire (tank vs tank) in Ground RB proves quite impressive that their target customers were unable to play the game as intended.
  2. Instead of renaming the mode after this to Ground AB+ they decided to keep it that way to keep the money flowing.
  3. But the same guys started to flood Air RB lobbies like there is no tomorrow - with the same attitude they play Ground RB “point & click, live, die, repeat”.
  4. So if them same kind of players are ruining the mode Air RB gaijin can decide if they follow the money like in Ground RB - or they try to force players to play the mode Air RB as intended.
  5. To make things clear: Friendly fire is and was part of warfare. Just look at WW2: List of friendly fire incidents - Wikipedia

Whatever you say - this team kill discussion affects Ground RB to the smallest degree - they have markers and if they bomb friendlies they are either not experienced enough or they don’t care.

Air SB pilots suffer from the C+P spam of identical aircraft on both sides and IFF issues which enforces them to get so close to identify them.

Air RB pilots suffer from the inexperience of their missile slinging team mates, totally unrealistic combat scenarios (way too many aircraft at jet BRs), reckless game play and intentional team kills & griefing whilst playing in a single life mode.

I got banned for 1 hour… lol
First time i got any punishement for TK in 12 years… i reckon it was just automatised based on past behaviour as a warning seing as i didn’t even do intentionnal tk’s recently and given how many got this

The God mode award is more aimed at ground battles where there is more opportunity to achieve that award. Personally id rather someone in a Biplane on Ground battles trying to meme on tanks/SPAA than trying to take on a jet in Air battles.

Almost seems that they want to thin out the player base, maybe they are getting rid of the free to play players. Part of the game design means that this is going to happen and on some modes it will happen far more frequently.
Maybe the greedy snail of avarice will allow you to unban your account for a payment ?
Who knows what the state of the games finances are, did enlisted not fair as good as the money poured into it, and the other games in the Gaijin stable seem to have gone very quite. A chance to off load something they no longer really are interested in and is too much effort and hard work to keep going and the income is falling ?
Who knows ehhh, it certainly seems like Gaijin have no idea. Also judging from the amount of posts closed they do not want any discussion about it, just discussions that approve, support and slap them heartily on the back for s job well done.
No transparency, a bit like the HR instant dismissal for gross misconduct, a few examples and then a statement saying there are too many to list, so basically we can make it up to suit us if we need to get rid of you.

Created summary for FF mechanic in a separate post (data bank), have anything to add?:

I do wonder if/how these count towards being temporarily banned for tk

Theres incidents like this in pretty much every match sadly but i don’t think that they should count towards an exclusion, IF the killed player accepts the apology.

Also take note how theres 3 tks in the 30 sec clip. Thats what new players in high tier results in.

Funnier than a snached frag you dogfighted with - could be only being friendly-snatched (by F-4S) teammate.
