Reports on the forum can’t be used at all. We sadly cannot use images or videos as evidence as they are way to easily manipulated. There has to be a proper report made, using the in-game complaint system or the server replay function, for us to be able to do anything. 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!).
For teamkills specifically: if they show up in the battle-log then there is no need for any further action as the automatic system will handle those. if the teamkill doesn’t show up then use the guide above to create a report.
We do not punish on the request of players and all reports are handled in a predetermined order. We also cannot disclose if any actions have been taken due to privacy reasons.
And as for your teamkill punishment posted above about a week ago, Would you like for the details around the reason to be posted here or in a private message?
this is the first time an appropriate response was directed my way, the previous one was just a deletion of my comment and essentially directing me somewhere else which ofcourse fueled my frustration further.
i followed the instruction indicating the match replay, the player ID and time frame.
hopefully swift action will be done and a notification sent my way, this will go a long way and definitely change my perspective of the admins / GMs
I’m unsure if the notification system actually sends the notification for the teamkill bans as those are handed out for systemic/repeated violations and not for a specific singular report.
Could you link some of them please (preferably ones that are already accepted)?
I’ll see if i can ask if there are any updates or answers in the matter (but i wouldn’t get my hopes up).
i dont need anything specific, im just referring to this pop up message that i saw on some other player’s clips where another player reported another player and they got a notif while in their hangar that action was done on their report.
That popup was what i was referring to, it is an automated system that sends out a notification when that players report specifically is handled. So if your report in particular isn’t actioned as a singular one but instead as a part of a collective of reports i’m not sure if that notification gets sent. I’m also not certain on how that system works as i have zero access to it but I’ll ask if it’s possible to clarify.
The problem is existing for years and imho based on a faulty collision mechanic.
That is the reason for other problems too - if two players perform a FCH (FullCommitHead-on) and don’t kill each other the guy which has produced the lower damage gets a kill when they collide and explode.
Looks like a very complex issue that is very inconsistent in when it occurs and as such VERY hard to investigate and find the root cause of. That specific report was marked as “the problem is not reproducible” two years ago, there has been A LOT of updates since and the issue might be harder or easier to find now compared to then. Are there any more recent ones (again preferably already accepted)?
I stopped providing or preparing bug reports a while ago.
Even as the search function on the bug report site seems to work now - you find even in this thread various examples of team kills by ramming.
The problem is that the more “advanced” teamkillers are able to ramm their victims and glide back to base - they simply destroy rudder and elevators of their victims. So the victim crashes (=Game over in Air RB & repair cost) and the team killing fee is not charged if the rammer is able to repair.
So whilst i am really happy that you are interested in this specific sub-topic i would like to point out that gaijin is fully aware of this issue, like every experienced Air RB player.
Therefore it is not a matter of updates or developments in the recent years - the closed thread above just proves that the problem is still there.
So why should i dig out dozens of reports if gaijin knows this topic for ages and either not able or willing to take care?
