I needed to stop playing at exact moment because of reasons.

You can do it but it wont work unless there is exact text in game rules which specify one cannot J-out whenever one likes even to prevent from being killed.

The rules against unsportsmanlike are broad enough to allow moderators to interpret player behavior at their discretion.
Also I don’t think the anyone should be banned for breaking a rule one time unless its using cheating software. I just want the guy to get the on screen warning over it and hopefully make him think twice about doing it again because its wrong.
The unsportsmanlike rules are more of ethical guideline, those are not strict rules which gets you punished/banned.

Whatever the case the player in question violated them and deserves to be reprimanded for his actions.
But he wont. Punishment/ban is only and only for game breaking rules. Ethical rules are not bannable.

I don’t want him banned, I made that clear.
If you get reported for something like this then when you join the game you get a pop up window that tells you people have been reporting you for unsportsmanlike conduct.
That is the outcome I want for this individual. An on screen pop up telling him he’s done wrong.
Why are you defending him?
I am not defending him just saying nothing will happen. I play WT since closed beta and I have never heard someone got any reprimand because of braking ethical rule.

Well it does happen. I’ve seen it.
Well if you have seen it what more do you want? System exists.
Short answer: TO wouldn’t work because it’s extra time, money, and manpower spent for a mode that would bring 0 returns, and if anything, negatively impact the game due to longer queue times.
Long answer, I’ll just paste what Eftwyrd from the Steam forums said.

I’ve tried it and I can tell you how inconsistent it is, you are not going to be quick enough with the ESC-leave the vehicle combo when the bomb lands, unless the pilot is stupid enough to set the fuze >2sec.
Well the fact that I had to do 2 passes over the area to find him probably tipped him off that a bomb was coming and the bombs do make a noise when they are falling.
I find it extremely unlikely he just decided to J out at that exact moment for any other reason, he was doing well in that tank and when he J’d out it didnt even give anyone an assist or any credit for the kill so no one had even crit him.
I can turn my console off anytime I like,I dont need Gaijin’s permission or yours

Being able to punt tanks with utter impunity is already unsportsmanlike. Expecting ground players to sit there and just accept it is kind of perverse.

Imagine using CAS to bomb defenseless vehicles and still have the nerves to talk about sportsmanship lol

I’m okay with CAS in GRB, but let’s treat it like GRB. Lower the cost for CAP. At this point, your best defense against CAS is now planes.
So let’s stop locking an a2a loadout to combat CAS at the same threshold as CAS for points. CAS can bring some a2a to try and defend itself. It is a threat to everyone, and should affect the points as much. but if I only want to fight other jets I shouldn’t have to contend with the same SP cost when I’m only a threat to other jets.

I make a joke of what you say to a degree but I also in all seriousness understand your frustration in what is designated as a combined arms game. That is the point I kind of make and again I refer to the OP and their original point to a degree.
Overall I strive for a NO plane GRB game variant so those who want, accept or even enjoy CAS in GRB can play it with out facing the kind of issues you underline in the clear understanding that planes are a thing and they are not balanced ,they are a well earned smacking tool in the right hands and of course a waste of well earned points in the wrong hands.
Far too many players hate planes in GRB ,wish them gone(or maybe think they do) and have come to truly resent them and those who play them in the GRB game.Hence you have the issues you underline with people leaving , J-ing out,ODL whatever.
If Gaijin offered a No CAS GRB to run along side the existing GRB then I am sure all this silliness and resentment would vanish. Talk about “Flyers” and " Tankers" like two opposing teams in a game that is meant to be combined arms is simply ridiculous yet after 12 years that is the reality of the situation. We have two separate camps now ,something we have to acknowledge even if we cant accept it.
I have no interest in hearing old history about what the game was , what it was made for, whether it was TO at some point or always combine arms, it’s all moot.
I am talking about moving forward and the sheer hate for planes and the fact many see the best tank game available ruined by the very thing that was supposed to set it apart from the other tank games in the first place.
I wish I had the money to make a game that was basically WarThunder but without the planes. I would have an ass kicking game that was better than WoT and War Thunder.

You’ve not tried the methods they are using then.
Unfortunate for you to be spouting all this ‘knowledge’ and excuses, when you actually don’t understand the methods being used to make this sort of thing happen.

No disrespect bro( said prior to incoming disrespect :) ) but that is a huge pile of horse pucky and its been smashed a million times on million different chats on this subject.

Numbers. Let me post a “The Game is dying” thread on here and see the masses ,the moderators and even the forum managers rise up and tell me that the game has millions of players and is far from dying. I think that says it all and punches the numbers argument square in the tits. Either that or you can tell Stona he is a liar.

All that time and effort better spent elsewhere? Premium CAS. I like many are crying out for Premium CAS when playing Israel, Japan, Sweden or China in many BRs.
Take my money ! But guess what ? Nobody is.So, so much for that argument about how much Gaijin would lose from all those CAS premiums most of which are sold for use in ARB anyway.
As for Gaijin man hours ( or woman!!! ) well what could be cheaper than creating a whole new game mode by simply cutting planes from an already existing game mode? Total no brainer even for a guy with no brain.
Then of course Gaijin will make an April Fools event like the Dune or Mad max scenarios they did and really blow your " Time and effort" and your " Oh the numbers and queue times" argument out the water simultaneously so I don’t have to.
The forum itself answers your steam quote in every way. I don’t really need to be clever, just read the forum and remember what I read.
No CAS GRB exists every time GRB is played with no er…no CAS. Don’t forget that .When you play regular GRB and you are sat in your SPAA with no takers ,that is TO GRB right there.That is all a TO mode is.
You would be creating nothing the game has not already had for years.You are just boxing up a popular segment and selling it as a whole. Hell you could even introduce towed/static guns as premiums for a TO game or take any other money making opportunity from it.
I suspect Gaijin know how to rinse cash from every aspect of this game.
PS what if the New TO game had thousands of ex WoT players flocking to it ? What then in terms of revenue for Gaijin?
