My last game was litterally a teamkilling paradise. the enermy team did it, and one of my “teamates” killed me cause he was too ass to get one kill. like its happened to me 2 games inn a row and its anoyying like you guys need to implement getting crew locked for 20 mins if someeone kills you, people teamkill on purpose beacuse -15K SL is literally not a punishment you can make that back from 0.5 games. or if u teamkill on purpose ur account should be suspended for like 2 hour, and everytime it happens it goes up by an hour

Wrong, players are being banned for team killing! Just look at the reports made available by the company. It’s always a good idea to open a report with the match replay attached and a few words describing what happened.
BUT, not everything is intentional… We see friendly fire happening all the time in Air Battle…

They do get banned. Constantly.
There are also manual bans that are applied to those that try to go around the automatic system, the largest of those bans are announced together with the Cheat bans every month (many more are issued, it’s just the largest bans that are listed). Here is a quote from the last one:

Accidents happen, so there needs to be a buffer for that, but any player that does actually TK consistantly gets a 48 hour ban initially that escalates quickly if they keep doing it

The lowest seems to be 24h if the support page about it is still correct:

bro he literally did it on purpose beacuse i got a kill he wanted and he straight up tked me
2-3 TK’s is instantly enough
Hmm… Might have changed then in more recent years. Back when learning ASB I got a 48 ban for accidental TKs. But this was like 4 years ago
2 in a match should already kick you from the match and have a hefty SL penalty. But a ban because of a mistaken bomb release or something would be kinda extreme

one delibirate teamkill isnt enough for a kick. i think it should be like if you lock someone on purpose and shoot them and they die you should be kicked or crew locked
I’m guessing the system takes things like that into account.

That sounds like it would be VERY hard to detect automatically though. IR missiles can sometimes go for teammates on their own and i’ve seen issues/bugs pop up occasionally where a radar missile completely ignores the radarlock and flies to the side and hits a teammate instead. There has to be some sort of buffer for accidents as well. Though most times it’s the result of negligence and not actually an accident, but that a different discussion.

Sim exists. Identification errors are common when you’re using planes without radar/IFF as you only get friendly markers within 900m. Having copy-paste planes in different tech trees doesn’t help.

Truth is, the first few kills alone should be enough for a lengthy temp ban where he can think about his actions, all with a warning attached that the next time he does this it’s an instant perma ban, no questions asked.
The intent behind this is simply gross and players like these should be removed from the game, permanently.

Since I got double-flagged by forum trolls:
The best part, there are entire compilations of ramming/teamkilling on youtube. And guess what?
0 reaction from Gaijin whatsoever.
They just do not care.
I’ve checked a guy called Captain Cobvious and he teamkilled in every battle, either by shooting or bt ramming for like 50 games straight, didn’t bother to check any further. Best part - oftentimes it was his victims who were getting blamed by Gaijin, literally because their planes exploded on impact, killing our hero.
So ramming teammates is basically encouraged by Gaijin, because not only you are not treated as teamkiller, but also your teammates may get banned for teamkilling. Double whammy of pure toxicity.
And yes, I contacted Gaijin mods about this one which resulted in 3 month forum ban for myself.
Best game design ever.
There were more such videos, but he unlisted them all, this one works because I have saved the link.
Dude rammed hundreds if not thousands of players and received no punishment. Maybe he scored some short term ban in 2025. Thing is, he should get permbanned after a few deliberate ramms in a short timespan.
Or just like @MotorolaCRO suggested - first a temporary ban, and then permanent. The amount of malice exhibited by some players is extreme.

I have accidentally team killed once in my 11.3 plane, I was sursprised that the per sky was so low at around 50k. You should probably get an hour cooldown or something for team killing an multiple games in a day, so that people can’t do it repeatedly.
I would suggest sending a private message to a Game Master through the forums here if you encounter an extreme example like you described. I do not want to volunteer @Necronomica myself, @Necronomica if you could reply and give your approval for @Loofah to DM you, I think that would be appropriate in this circumstance.
@Loofah I have reported many very intentional team killers in the past, and they have gotten permanently banned. Only once did I need to DM a Game Master, and it was taken care of.
This does not matter. EVERY team kill is recorded in each player’s “permanent record”. Even if the replay site does not list the game anymore. If he has hundreds or thousands of team kills, the Game Masters can see it.
I feel your frustration, your aggravation is warranted. But I would still encourage you to try and reach out to an appropriate Game Master if you see an extreme intentional team killer like that. It is never too late for such players to face appropriate punishment.
And on the subject of your posts getting hidden, if you did not break any forum rules, you can edit your post after a few minutes and it will unhide it. And if it does get hidden again, and you did not break any rules, a forum mod should unhide it eventually.

So like this one time a guy kept popping smoke on my friend, basically not TKing but griefing him. So I bombed that player so that my friend could play without getting smoked all match…
Would this result in me getting a ban for helping my friend? Or would the player who pops smoke get a ban for ruining people’s game?
