Definitely a strange one to try combat in fairness.
Like i was at alt of about 600 meters.
I also informed them i am not ground attacking merely supporting them as i enjoy to do.
So will see!
Lancaster player seeing this thread
can we also bring up the horrendous fact now people absolutely strive to shoot down allied nukes?
Just got a nuke there and on the way to the battle field an allied SPAA decided to fire an ungodly amount of missiles at me, then type lol and leave.
Its absolutely ridiculous that there is an absolutely plague of people with brainrot who think this kinda stuff is funny or amusing, went and checked his replays and out of about 10 matches hes Tk’d in six of them.
genuinely need a punishment for consistently team killing man its not even funny anymore, used to be the odd pellet would TK then laugh, now its constantly

Yeah just seen it.
The playerbase for this game is getting worse for trolling and Tking.
Had s guy last night activitily refuse to participate in a game saying if he does he looses an rp mod bonus.
Like what ? Youre gonna lose it regardless so just play.
Then someone TKd him
It is frequently mentioned in the forum - even with confessions of nuke team killers (“I don’t wanted that the match ends”).
Imho there was just one thread / post which had a visible reaction from gaijin:
The CM (which is also the Head of Game Masters) reacted there.
The thread was already linked, imho gaijin could easiliy flag nuke carrier team kills and set an auto-temp ban for at least a week for that…

Why bother. dude will be back at it in two days
They could just turn off freindly fire on nuke carriers at that point.
People are always gonna do it regardless of the consequences, after over 3000 hours I’ve come to realise that the growing rate of trolls and Tking that is “Justified” over pathetic excuses such as,
" I didnt want the game to end" or “It was my base” , “You took my kill”
etc etc is showing me that we should just turn off friendly fire at this point.
Literally now in higher tier ARB people do it for videos on tik tock or youtube, the level of it is becoming one of the reasons I actively am struggling to enjoy the game as much as I used to.

What is the penalty for deliberately shooting down a teammate’s plane? I’ve been dealing with these kinds of rudeness lately, and I’m wondering if the penalties might not be enough to deter people.
If you search in this thread you will find this:
Imho there is no deterrence in place…
As i saw this in a closed thread:
Most of your questions are answered if you read the OP. Consequences of multiple team kills - check the post direct above.
Have a good one!
I hope Gaijin would fix the friendly fire when players are still on the airfield in air RB.
At the start of the match, a Tornado carrying bombs crashed while taking off and the crash setting off the bombs which damaged and made my Tornado crash and the bombs on my Tornado exploded (I didn’t hit drop the bombs, they exploded on crashing) and damaged multiple friendlies. I got unfairly kicked and punished for an accident that’s out of my control.

Yesterday I had a “teammate” who shot me down because I was faster to a base with my plane…on an EC map no less.
I reported that person, but I don’t expect anything from it.
Took plane to perform CAS, shot a AAM at an enemy plane and it hit my teammate. Then I got shot down and got into my Gepard . Was shooting at tank when a friendly plane flew right trough my stream of bullets while flying supper low. Bam! Instant kick from game. I guess there is no good way of tracking what really happened and the system in place is the most rudimentary one. Asking for it to be more accurate would require HUMAN intervention and that’s impossible in real time. Or it would need some of that new AI magic.
hello everyone. from what i’ve read here, no one likes killing the team. so i would be interested in why it wasn’t done like in tank battles, that it’s forbidden to shoot at fellow players? or if it’s somewhere in the settings, i have no idea? but i can’t shoot at teammates in tanks, my sights always show blue crosses. but as for air battles, this option is missing, wouldn’t it be possible to add it to air battles too? i have no idea about the navy, i haven’t played ships for a long time. so the question is, would someone in high places not have suggested this directly to GJ to prevent attacking their own team members, is there anyone like that? thank you
Well, I just had a duck TK me for zero reason when I spawned in a plane in GRB.
I was annoyed so I TK’ed them back, because they deserved it. Maybe I did something wrong, but I fully believe that I was justified because he screwed over my match.
It used to be allowed, but Gaijin removed it because people were abusing it and being annoying.
I think it hasn’t been removed because it makes people play safer when being close to teammates. Personally, I see no reason for it to be removed.
Nobody likes to shoot team mates, yes.
However consider this.
Tanks fight in what’s effectively in a 2D environment where engagements are often stationary with mobility between them.
Moment-to-moment movement is not an integral part of tank battles.
Whereas for aircraft,
Movement is the most important part. Maneuvering in 3D space takes priority even over gunnery - being the best shot in the world is worthless if you cannot get your nose on target!
What consequence does this have for teamkilling?
Challenge.
Friendlies present a significant obstacle in a NvsN scale environment. Teamwork, either implicitly understood or actively coordinated, is required to succeed as spraying blindly whenever you get a gunsolution may well end up striking a team mate.
Without teamwork, you might be better off fighting 1vs1 over a 2vs1 as your wingman can sabotage your shots, crash into you as you line it up, strike you in a reckless head-on attempt.
With teamwork though, the situation completely changes into a hopeless struggle for survival for your quarry.
Without the risk of friendly collission and blue-on-blue fire, tactics and raw maneuvering have their skill floor AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, skill ceiling lowered.
Lowering skill floor is fine. Lowering skill ceiling? Please don’t.
Having room for skill expression through teamwork (Or exploiting its absence as the quarry) gives room for very memorable and fun plays.
One such example of exploiting its absence is recognizing if your pursuers lack situational awareness and are getting too greedy to kill you. You can then lure them into what seems like a standard turnfight only to reverse your turn and… BANG!
The two zeros chasing you collided in a fireball.
You can’t have moments like that if collission and team damage is removed.

I understand the collision, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the fact that as a player, I’m forbidden from shooting at teammates in tanks, but the rest of us can shoot from a machine gun, but they won’t do any damage, but I just can’t for three years. So I’m just asking why shooting at teammates is not prohibited even in air battles. I just don’t know if it can be set in the game settings or if GJ set it directly so that I can’t shoot at teammates in tanks.
