If finally happened. I snapped. A light tank started shooting me. So I killed him and I went blue. I then went 'alt f4' and quit the game. Obviously I must have hit a lot of friendly tanks recently as you don't just go blue after shooting 1 tank. But, this was intentional shooting of friendly.

Another tank came along and started shooting me as he had every right to do, afterall I was blue. But he would not kill me. So I raged some more and told him to finish me off. He said 'nope' so I raged some more and shot him in the arse once.

Now, the lesson here is not that somebody was shooting me. The lesson is all about my response.  I threw  tantrum and quit. So I was the one who screwed my team over..

It was not the fault of the weekend, not the fault of the players,not the fault of whatever. The fault was all mine and mine alone.

I cracked a rage and lost my temper. So do I  have a right to fark my team over, just because I did not get my own way? Nope, of course not. But, I did it anyway.

Edit.  Reporting him would not have the same sense of instant gratification that shooting him did.

Trying to find the reason of this topic, I can't find one.

I raged and lost my temper when you, seaeagle, changed your avatar the other day

Haven't killed any team mates with aimed fire in a while now, I must be lucky.

Still, we all have our moments.

There is really no reason, other than me ranting.

You mean the cartoon one?

yh, loads of people do the same thing.
The other day i did it to a pz38na that shot me 10 times in my ferdi.
it didnt pen me or anything it just annoyed me. :(

meh killing team mates is no biggy , I've done it , only on purpose never accidently because you know my shells go where i aimed , don't really get these people who Tk by accident
But yeah I think all guys I've killed deserved it , haven't tk'd for the lols yet

Same here. Happend in the last game and he deserved it. First blocking then shooting my tracks.

guns dont kill people, being blue does.

Don't be so hard on yourself mate.Perfectly normal human response.
Next time give him a warning what will happen if he hits you one more time, then if needed, kill him.
Or just ram him if hes lighter.

The last time I shot a friendly was today with M5 Stuart. I tried to hit the enemy behind our afker M3 Stuart, but I missed and hit the M3 instead... Lucky that he was an afker, no need to feel bad or apologize.

I was blue only 1 time in all my battles and no one shot me.

But if someone would start shooting me just for beeing blue I would kill him, why?
Because fuck you!

You NEVER know why someone turned blue. If it was his fault or not, this is the perfect example.
If a smartass thinks he has the right too shoot me for beeing blue without any background info hes gonna get his ass whooped, 99% of the time they wouldnt even dare to because Im only playing T10 Tanks, T8 SPGs or Scouts.
They wont catch me in a scout, they wont want to loose the firepower of a T8 SPG and they wont dare to start a fight with a T10 heavy/med/td. They would need a T10 heavy/med/td themselfs for a chance of killing me, this would result in 2 T10 tanks less and a lost match, you would need to be really dumb to do that.

You only shoot teammates/blue ones if you saw with your own eyes that the person shot his teammates for no reason.

I wouldn't worry. There is only so much muppetry a person can take before cracking.

I'm guessing isn't a habit, and doubt you do it on a whim or because of deficient genes, as per most intentional TKers. Just be more careful with the accidents, it will give you a bit more leeway .
