There have been MANY occasions in which an ally tank has shot me whether intentional or by pure accident. The problem I have is that being on Russian servers US tanks are singled out and harassed. This has happened to me on nearly EVERY map I play. I really enjoy the opportunity to test the new tanks and the changes that have been made, but when I do get shot purposely I am not getting compensation for the damage caused yet I am fined when I accidentally hit an Ally.

Anyone else having the same issues?

Not really. I assume they talk smack but, with my lack of knowledge of Russian, I really don't care. Never been TKed over being American before. Yet...........

Well I was just TK'd for getting a kill that 2 other players thought I took from them. Player names are bomba_2014 in a tiger and Kpyk in an AMX 13 90. The Tiger killed me and the AMX blocked me so the Tiger can get behind me and kill me. I got a whole 700 credits for compensation. WTF??

That's NOT a bug, and doesn't belong in this area.

I have not been tked at all. Having had 150~200 battles @ test server. That being said, I don't know russian very well, don't smacktalk and don't go around saying stuff like "US POWA" which I've read from an US player today.

Saw a couple US tags today running around saying "STPU" (change the P...). Bad apples, IMO.

I've been on the 7.3 test server for several days now, and in about 200 matches there I've seen exactly one TK- a random T-54 on my team decided to shoot our 4502b in the butt and it was on like Donkey Kong for them.  I have yet to have any teammates shoot at me at all.  One thing I do though... I say nothing throughout the entire match.  I don't talk, I don't ping the map.  I do nothing to draw extra attention to myself.

i havent ever gotten that problem. I actually save the game one time in my new t34 prem. Held back their last tier 8 tank, a kv4, by shooting him in the turret on his turret. he kept dinging on my turret. got 8 kills that battle... im thinking they were either raging in chat that a us player with 800 ping beat them or congratulating me, ill go with the last one...

I have yet to have a problem on the test server with the US tag.  I have on several occasions had people with the RU tag type "hello" or "welcome" in English, which is way more than I can type in their language.  Aside from the lack of communication being, at times, frustrating I have really enjoyed the test server.

Yeah, for the most part, things have been smooth for me. However, on El Halluf, I accidentally ran into a friendly T-150 when going downhill with my KV-4. I passed him and he shot my track, breaking it. I apologized for running into him, though, and he accepted it, so it smoothed out.

Another time, though, I was shot in the back by another heavy (don't remember the exact type) shortly after starting a battle on Abbey and I had done nothing to him! Now, I, like a bunch of US players, am not fluent in the Russian language, but I know how to read the Cyrillic alphabet, and I knew just enough Russian that I could tell that the guy was anti-American. Like I said, though, this is a rarity, and for the most part, it's been an interesting experience!

i would say people like this need to pay for hating people for being american, but i wouldnt really care on the test server. With the x10 xp and creds, its nothing. I am however, a very hard person to make angry while playing. After i have an epic fail, or get a teammate killed because of my lag, i usually just exit to my garage before they can say anything. Te only thing that ever makes me slightly angry is when someone says something about WW2 history that is inaccurate. I will go on a very long rant correcting them, and they are usually trolls...

That reminds me of a video about Call of Duty: Black Ops where a guy went around giving intentionally inaccurate facts about the Vietnam War. Among other things, he claimed that helicopters weren't invented until the movie "Black Hawk Down" came out and that people used spears in the Vietnam War.

  WHERE IS THIS GUY! I WANT HIS ADDRESS NOW! HIS HOUSE SHALL BE RIDDLED WITH BULLETS HOLES! You can insert the part of Pulp Fiction where Sam quotes the Bible. In fact...

Actually, the guy was doing it as part of a joke, but when I first saw it, I thought he was serious.

Here, I found it:

i got to 2:46, then i paused it before i threw my computer out the window...

The BS name calling, ramming, and team killing has got to stop.  Both sides egg eachother on and last night I was shot several times by my own team just because I had "_US" after my name.  I dont think the US, EU, or RU suffixes are nessecary.  I'm not saying everyone is nasty either.  I've been invited by all sides for clans and platoons and had some great team players.

Let's just cut the crap and play the game.

I was hit once by tk. It was a true ru on us (I am actually Canadian but it does not help he even said as much lucky for me dev was on map at same time. Also a friend who has been tk'd about 3 times for same reason (they drove right up to his butt and shot at spawn) last one shooter was blue and 5 tanks nailed him. So yes there are some nuts but all in all I have had no problems on test, nothing worse than on normal server (actually had one guy who killed 5 tanks at spawn and 3 more after start alas we lost)

Thanks for the report.  

Going to close this one up.

Happy tanking!
