Something needs to be done with Prop BR’s and tking, in fact I’m thinking of creating my own thread because MY GOD, is the problem bad.

i’m gonna link the whole replay once the game is done because I think the total number of teamkills got over 6 in total, and this isn’t an anomaly either! I’m currently slogging through the ranks to escape the hell that is Prop BR’s and literally every single game I’ve had at least one teamkill happen. I mostly play jets and this very rarely happen in Jet BR’s, no wonder no one plays props unless they have to.

I imagine this whole phenomenon is due to people feeling frustrated by the miserable pace of prop games, how repetitive and stale the prop gameplay loop is and having to fly useless vehicles?

Another tk thread:

Is there a way to actually counter teamkillers?

https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/438730776144490439 I had 4 kills already and then stalled out and severed damaged a sabre. There were 2 enemies besides the sabre left so I was pretty confident in my ability to get the win and also have a high kill game with that plane. Then I jsut get teamkilled by an aim9b from a guy wanting to steal my kill and then he dies stealing the kill to not only make me lose out on the high kill game but more importantly just lose us the entire match. Is …

I do agree that gaijin needs to (finally) lower the thrrsholds for temp bans in case of intentional teamkilling.

As i play exclusively Air RB at prop BRs this might help you:

As you fly WW 2 era props some of my own Golden Rules which might help to reduce the times you get attacked by friendlies:

1. If you use aircraft with airfield spawn - spawn in as last guy, and take off as last guy. Keep an eye on the guys with airspawn behind and above the runway - a lot of team kills (either with guns or by ramming) happen when those guys dive on your team.
2. If you use aircraft with airspawn - spawn as last and break away from the others immediately.
3. Observe always friendlies near you - you can judge by their flight patterns if they are hostile.
4. Stay out of furballs - focus on enemies extending from furballs
5. Avoid Chinese props - idk why but this Taiwan/Mainland animosity somehow increases the chances to become a target. If you are the fastest boy in your team and the lobby is crowded with CHN players: Use team chat and state “China #1” or “Taiwan #1” (your choice) and look what happens 😎
6. Stay out of in-game chat in general (except you want to spice up the match like point #5) - do your thing, stay away from friendlies, but close enough in order to help them if necessary.

With these “rules” you can play way more relaxed.

Regarding #2: I got teamkilled twice (in the last 12 months) even as i spawned last - the 2 guys joined the lobby after i started my take-off run and spawned within seconds, so it is just safe if you have a full 16 vs 16 lobby…

I’m an OG so I remember things like the phantoms rocketing runways and other fun little events, so I usually wait for everyone to take off and avoid friendlies (ennemies in blue really…) as much as possible, I got tked so little that I couldnt actually give you one example, maybe once when flying the saar because y’know (not that I disagree, I actually thought that was funny). I’m just pissed because I get limited playtime and those matches aren’t fun since were down players.
