I have no idea mate!
He did accept the apologies does that mean I get no penalty for the Teamkill system?
As i do not teamkill on purpose or unintended (in general) i have zero experience if this “I apologize” and “I accept” actually works; maybe a fellow forum member or a GM can help here.
As i saw that @Necronomica is very active in this thread he might answer your question.
He said he is still finding out, as he isn’t very sure yet.
I saw this post and would to add something to think about:
- Depending on map and BR range you are playing your logic does not work. At prop BRs on some maps ai planes fly in groups of six aircraft unable to identify targets and are circling somewhere on the map. On other maps their actions prevent enemy ground ai units from completing their tasks.
- Damage on friendly units is considered in the friendly damage counter - u can test this by killing a few friendly ai planes or ai ground units - u will be kicked.
- I assume i still hold a record of killing the most friendly ai units in a single match as i dropped my payload of a B-18B blind in order to lose weight to dogfight an enemy interceptor - my bombs somehow managed to fall direct on the Cologne railyard - 30+ friendly train car kills kicked me immediately out of the match😂
Was on a small prop map (3 bases with bombable airfield, should be some winter map) when I came up with this, by which there were only tank AIs and my team was 400 tickets short for 2 destroyed bases.
The game always count teamkilling harmful as default. Yet our topic is about Whether itself is or not / Is the game holding its own logic?
Haven’t been playing in Ruhr for a while. I miss the trains.
The only 3 bases Frontline winter map without ai planes is Lagoda.
But i don’t get your point in mentioning this as you correctly stated that there are no ai planes there. I won there a few days ago with 10:0 (yes, no typo) tickets (~12 minutes) as 2 friendly Pe-2s killed one base more than the enemy and a friendly Firefly killed 11 ground units.
The enemy team was too stupid to neutralize our ticket advantage despite they played 6-7 vs 2. Tickets melted away as the ai ground units killed each other very fast (as alwyas) …epic match regarding the outcome:
Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On
They changed the layout years ago…not longer available…
Have in mind that there is a huge spread between ticket bleed on non-respawning and respawning bases.
So i am not sure what your goal is as teamkilling own ai planes will get you kicked and therefore killing them in order to deny them to kill ticket bearing enemy ground units (in order to kill them with a player aircraft to reduce enemy tickets) makes just sense in theory.
In reality we just deal with game mechanics implemented by guys who either don’t play their game or have never heard about things like testing or quality management…
It’s all theory and thoughts lol. If my logic is correct, the only result would be having a conclusion saying “existing game mechanics doesn’t make sense” which is common in 2025 xD
Could be this one. At this moment I found that we can be out of kill-able ai before ticket bleeds to 0 (dunno if it can happen on larger maps), and we already know that AI attackers kill both soft and hard targets. Combining these 2 may give out what I was concerning.
Wait how does <100 ticket difference work?
I recommend to watch the replay 😎
Skip to 12 minutes, open the scoreboard view and watch the ticket drop…epic
I say this for years 😂👍
as i always say: Gaijin should add an AI or smth to determine if the TK was intencional or accidental, since when u’re playing toptier, sometimes ur missiles can go against teammates by no reason (ARH missiles switching between ally and enemy cuz they passed one each other too close / IR missiles switching between ally and enemy cuz one of them had its rear clear and IRCCM missiles, even if the can go front-aspect, actually always try to go for rear-aspect since its the cleanest one to get the kill).
a random player here in the forums just sent me a replay of a F/A-18A gameplay and when he launched one of his AIM-7Ms at an enemy, the missile LITERALLY just turned its 25G to the nearest teammate.
Nah ai is bad and unreliable
(If you’re wondering nope I don’t have a better solution, but I’d rather no solution than some ai that will make bad decisions and make it even more frustrating)

In October 2025, the game was temporarily banned for 14 days due to team killing. After the ban was lifted, I played for approximately one week. During this period, there were several instances of team killing caused by artillery support, and immediately after that, my account was penalized for 14 days. Could you please tell me if there is a penalty threshold or reputation score for the account in this game? What should I do to avoid being penalized? No one can guarantee that there won’t be any accidental injury to friendly forces in future gameplay. As players, how should we avoid this penalty mechanism? How long of good gaming behavior is required to restore the reputation score of our accounts?
stop teamkilling. The odd TK via artillery is 1 thing, but multiple in a single week is… excessive. You need to learn to stop dropping artillery danger close on your allies. Like, even when I played hardcore I would TK with artillery maybe once every couple of weeks or even months.

So does this game have a penalty threshold? I noticed that my account is now very easily subject to penalties. Is there some kind of program running in the background to monitor my account? Since my first penalty, I have been easily punished again and again.
Does this game’s penalty mechanism have any “memory” function? Will my account be restored to a “good reputation” status if I don’t trigger a team kill for a longer period of time?
Your request have been answered in private message, please check your inbox.
And no, there is no such thing as “hidden credit”, the duration of teamkilling ban is issued base on previous violation - frequent teamkillers will get longer punishment, the only way not getting banned is stay civil in battle and try not to harm your teammates.

Then how can I judge the future gameplay? No one can guarantee that there won’t be a team massacre at any point during the long gameplay period. We can’t just keep playing with constant fear, can we? So what exactly is this so-called penalty standard?
Hello, could you please help me inform the staff with management authority to remove the ban imposed due to the team killing? This account has been with me for 13 years and I have made a total of over 5000 US dollars in deposits. I don’t want to lose this expensive account. I will continue to make purchases in future games. I have always been a loyal player of War Thunder.
Stop killing team mates.
Problem solved.
