Banned for 6 hours

[=WBR=Filbee]

EU server: 1230 GMT aprox.

 

Playing in the EU server today (17 Dec 21), one of our squad mates was unexpectedly banned for 6 hours and some minutes for doing something he has no clue about. Yes, he shot at a friendly in error, but so did we. We weren't banned for that, just incurred a penalty which I suppose is fair enough. We are all quite knew in IL2 and want to understand what it was he did wrong so we don't repeat the mistake.

 

We will be grateful for any help & comments

The friendly fire ban doesn’t happen immediately. It’s done by the server. Not sure why the ban isn’t instant but it takes several minutes. Happened to me in November.
 

Friendly fire destruction gets you the ban. Friendly fire damage doesn’t. I suspect your squadie had the kill in this scenario.

The server admin is free to decide how to handle friendly fire. Could go like this or could go strikter:

 

1st event: warning

2nd event: kick from server

3rd event: temporary ban

4th event: perma ban

Normally friendly fire incurs a text warning as per the above.  Ignore or miss those warnings and have repeated friendly fire incidents can induce the temporary ban.

 

Full on bans are usually induced through the admins on the server site via pm (with some form of proof).  Finnish Server for example does not allow vote banning in the game

It seems there is an automatic monitor for blue-on-blue incidents. It would be good to know the rules on this as one of our squad received a 15 minute ban for a friendly fire incident. However, it seems the 'friend' actually flew in from of the line of fire pursuing the same con. In RL, this happens, more often than is/was reported as was gunning bailed pilots, no matter who started it.

 

But what gets my goat is the mandatory 15 second wait to exit the aircraft when you can do nothing to avoid a total DH from straffing you, there should be something enabled to prevent this, perhaps to make you invulnerable during that period or instant bail once you've stopped, engine(s) off.

These are all server rules/settings. You should ask the server admin. I recommend the Multiplayer forum :

That's in place because players would get outflown and immediately land/ditch to try to escape getting shot down/killed.

Yes, people used to quit as soon as someone got on their six and started firing. They disappeared and respawned in a new plane to keep from getting shot down. You can't do that now.

Oh yes you can, with this latest hotfix I've been getting a game crash nearly every time I'm getting shot to pieces in a heavy scene, straight to desktop.  Unfortunately it happens on strikes too if the AA wakes up to intense.  Instant desktop and safety, full automated.?

There are also those, that for whatever reason, literally bail out as soon as someone gets on their six and starts shooting at them.
There are all types out there and some of them like flying and shooting "without getting shot back at". I think it has something to do with feeding their own ego about "I did not die (technicality)".
