Panzer TK

[Symfony]

I've been noticing a lot lately that panzer users will intentionally kill team mates if it means they get the kill on hardcore. I was wondering if this is punishable since they are intentionally killing their teammates.

They'll get kicked after a certain amount of team damage.

For 0 seconds so they come back immediately, stop for 5 minutes, and then continue. Also I'm pretty sure heavy weapon + artillery get a break on that because of the amount of people that just don't care who they're TKing cause it's okay cause it's a heavy weapon.

Alert an admin or take a demo if you notice it being a trend from certain players. It is put punishable and they will step in if they catch it happening. I know this is true from the time my trigger happy self decided to use a flamethrower... Sorry for that one gengis

Mainly I am asking because if I continue to see it and it should be punished I should be warning players.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not allowed.  It's still intentional TK.

 

I will always !warn if I see this is a pattern of how they get their kills.  If they continue they will be kicked, if it continues they'll be banned as a deliberate TKer.

 

tl/dr - if they are intentionally taking shots they KNOW will kill teammates they are no different to a normal TKer IMO.

That was my mentality as well but I know of a few popular players and even some of the clan members that do it so I wasn't clear on it.

It's both careless shooting and a blatant tk. Sometimes to get the kill they'll sacrifice a teammate and tk them as well. Not acceptable at all and warning might deter this but it usually ends up with the player learning the hard way through a ban.

 

If FA members are doing this I would urge you to use 'CONTACT US' and that behavior would end quickly.

Indeed, it's still intentionnal TK and F|A do not allow this. And as said if you see clan members doing this, please use contact us , or ask an admin lvl +18 to deal with this. Comatose, redy., SisXP are usually the ones you'll see there with such level.

 

Don't hesitate to record a demo, take SS too.

I always give a few verbal warnings and a suggestion/recommendation to choose another weapon if this kind of thing persists. Same with rifle grenades, its not okay to sacrifice a teammate just to get a kill. Warn after you have verbally told them enough to the point where they have no excuse for doing it again with reason : They didn't know. As the others said take a demo or a screenshot of scores showing team damage for the panzer user. I have some ss showing panzers with over 1.3k tmd..smh.

 

Most likely, if you warn them symf, they might start trolling you because you aren't yet an admin. Don't fight back, just take screenshots as proof and follow our procedure for muting trolls. if you don't know what the procedure is, PM me.

 

Good questions Symfony, keep em coming mate!

Also worth nothing, this is probably a case-by-case basis.. If someone tk's with panzer because they know someone is about to capture obj and they have a perfect opportunity to stop them (knowing that they will be too quick for standard SMGs etc) then I would probably let this one go.. After all, that is helping the team.

Yeah, that just seems like a common sense sort of thing to me though.
