Recently I was playing a round just like usual (ground RB), and in one corner I was ambushed. He shot at my side. However, the shell bounced off. As I was turning my tank, he simply J’ed out to avoid being killed. These kinds of players entirely ruin your mood, and there is nothing you can do about it. I don’t think that it is difficult to detect a self-destruction right after the players engaged an enemy. I would be fine if he got a warning and a ban for continuing, but as it is now, it’s just unnecessarily unfair.

Because Gaijin allows it, if they did implement something that you suggest then the player base would likely crash.
Instead of whining that you did not get an easy kill, maybe you should look at the in game RNG that bounced a perfectly good shot, and if it had penetrated that should be game over for you, not this RNG crap and teleportation of crew from one location to another whilst being indestructible while this teleportation is occurring.

There always is a punishment with earning the max repair cost if you J out no matter what.
I don’t think thats enough. These 992 SL wont stop him from doing that in the future.
You act like everyone uses these “strategy” which is not the case. In this such cases the community can be quite understanding from what I’ve seen. Besides, his shot would’ve not penned. It was just a bad shot from a 3.7 light tank against a 6.7 heavy tank.
You were outmaneuvered and outplayed by a player already at a huge disadvantage as you stated a 3.7 light tank which because of the game is practically useless as it cannot perform its designed role, against a 6.7 heavy tank a guaranteed kill for you. It also shows how utterly garbage the match making is, he should never have been up against you.
You were given a free pass by the game and then moan and whine you were not given more rewards, Jesus. H. Christ talk about self entitled.
What can I do when he is in a corner I can’t safely observe while having a turned off engine? And the matchmaking aint at fault either. I encountered him multiple times and he had enough vehicles on 6.7. It was his choice to use a worse vehicle for (probably) the godmode achievement. This isnt even the topic of my post so end of the discussion.
I want the players so get the kills they deserve and there are scenarios where u dont get a “free pass”.
Great glad that you are shutting up and that the other player annoyed you enough to whine on the forums. At the present the game is shitty enough without players like you trying to make it even shittier by punishing everybody who does not play to your rules when things do not go as you think they should.
People crashing their aircraft or ejecting should award the player who spent the longest (decaying) time within the closest distance.
Ergo, there should be a function of radius relative to enemy vehicles that increases the amount of hidden “influence”. This function should be non-linear with a bias towards very close ranges. Furthermore, upon exceeding say 2 km for aircraft and idk what’s appropriate for tanks it should begin to decrement in a similar fashion as it increments: marginal loss near the 2 km “maximum influence radius” and rapidly decay by the time it increases to 4 km.
This should make someone who spends 30 seconds scissoring an opponent before the opponent dives away and crashes next to a unaware low-flying bomber be credited over said low-flying bomber.
Such would be a fair implementation and remove the primary means by which zombers try and fix matches and alienate air sim as a game mode from actual players.

Wow, you dare to say that the game is “shitty enough” when you’re supporting a behavior that doesn’t fit the way the game was supposed to be played and that actively ruins the fun of the players. Your mindset destroys War Thunder. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Ah yes. The player base would totally crash if they punished people for acting like babies. I haven’t even seen anyone do this against a tank. Only time I’ve seen it myself in a game is when people J out moments before being killed by CAS or people crashing into the ground right before you’re about to kill them in air battles. You come across as someone who does exactly this getting defensive. Especially with how bitter and hateful you are.

Go away fan boy, why should I be ashamed I am not playing to try and prove something to myself or others.
War Thunder destroys itself with its absolute abysmal matchmaking system, garbage mechanics and vehicles which are at a disadvantage in Gaijins face off game play, that have to be buffed to make them playable, which leads to posts like yours.
So how is the game supposed to be played pick the wrong vehicle and get punished for it nice way to get players engaged and supportive.
There is far too much crap in the tech trees, there just so the company can crow about having the greatest number of vehicles in any game, but most are useless and have to be buffed with rare ammunition types or given artillery support and CAS.
Yes I do do this as the game is utterly unbalanced and I also ODL. I am smart enough not to feed into an unbalanced system that is intentionally engineered to try and get people to buy things which make little if any difference to the game play which is abysmal.
You seem like the person who likes to have an advantage over someone and revels in that power. As you seem to like making assumptions after a few lines of text.
If you think so lowly of this game, then why are you still playing it and giving it so much time that you even go whine on the forums? Not very smart.
I mean… if you see someone defending a terrorist attack on the government ‘because they deserved it anyway’, it’s pretty safe to make the assumption that they don’t like the government. From the moment that you came in here, you’ve been putting down everyone that you reply to while literally no one has done anything provocative. I’m someone who likes returning the respect others give since other people are too nice to do so.

“which leads to posts like yours” I think you dont understand what this discussion is about. You keep adressing issues that ALSO destroy WarThunder however as I said before, this is not relevant for the discussion.
I simply play to waste time and I have a lot of time to waste, I do not have any goals, achievements or desires regarding War Thunder, to me it is like Candy Crush, Cookie Clicker or any other of the vast plethora of games to waste away peoples free time and try and get them to part with some of their hard earned cash.
As for provocative and putting down people, the main problem I see is the constant clamor for punishments that people push all the time when they do not like something that did not go their way or to their plan, in the games case it is the game that causes the problem not the people playing it, and the so called rules of the game, and that is another subject the rules are like a nebulous cloud that mean different things to different people, so there are countless interpretations and views.
My personal view of War Thunder is an unrealistic arcade game with mediocre graphics, and you know what I would like to see, one life only, a penetrating hit and the vehicle is knocked out, no swapping around dead crew for others, no CAS (you have to pick plane or tank not swap as and when you are allowed), and also you lose a percentage of crew skills if the crew member is dead as you have to retrain another one.
That would be way way too hard and grindy for nearly everybody I expect, but to me realistic and Dark Souls hard enough to make it worthwhile. But as you point out not everyone has the same viewpoint, would you still play the game if it was this hard ?
I understand the discussion as it mirrors so many on the forums, I do not like what happened, I deserved more, why is it allowed in the game and there should be more punishments to people. There is a word for that it is sadism, just let people play as they want, within a set of rules. As I have already mentioned the problem with the rules are that they are too nebulous with each individual having their own view and interpretation which leads to annoyance and frustration because it goes against and does not fit someone else’s view and interpretation.
They decide not to punish kill denials. No one knows why

I do it all the time in top tier. You wanna know why? Because I’ll place a perfect shot into a Russian tank and it simply disappears into the void or the Bias RNG takes over and it does nothing. No free kills here 🤷♂️

This is partly what I was trying to covey my annoyance over. It supposedly being a realistic game, it happens in real life but not as frequently as in game.
Someone facing side on to you 75mm HEAT round at basically point blank range and you get 7 silver lions and 2 research points, the inside of the tank would actually be carnage. Or very similar knock out the driver, gunner, loader and then have to plink shots waiting for the commander, radio operator or machine gunner to finish materializing in the new position before they get to fire again, its a waste of time the RNG is so bad it often feels like it is rigged.
