This game’s Discord needs to be studied, it’s an odd assortment in there for sure
but on topic, yes yesterday I noticed a big uptick in “friendlies” placing barbed wire and sandbags in ways that would clearly block AI pathfinding.
My theory (as has been noticed before by others): somehow these players are in communication with players on the enemy team and are either giving them coordinates for bombing or simply playing “saboteur” for the enemy with AI blocking.
its not griefing in literal sense, but recently whenever I play USA half the damn team does nothing but sit in one place while we are supposed to be attacking
I have no idea why. I’m literally behind the cap zone killing all the germans trying to defend and no one can be bothered to actually walk onto the cap and win. it’s infuriating
I believe you should be more worried about review bombing
I believe that no one should care about people’s opinions on the internet.
Even more so when they’re only forming that negative opinion for some self-interested purpose.
If people cared, we’d end up like America. Cancel culture and bizarre hypocritical moral values that have nothing to do with reality.
Like when Gaijin turned around and came out with a to-do list that fixes the economy issue on Warthunder? You may not care, but gaming companies do since no one wants to play a poorly rated game.
That’s completely unrelated to what I have said.
But I guess blackmailing is fine as long as it’s directed against companies. 
At least according to you.
Because review bombing is blackmail.
Classic Twitter mindset
It kinda does since we are talking about review bombing.
Isn’t it the choice of the individual where he or she puts his money?
Depends: Do you spot tanks when they get in your sites? Do you build flanking rallies? Do you snipe from the flank, to help thin them before they get to the objective?
Griefers and such do happen - limiting alies movement with barbed wire, cycling through vehicle squads, blocking your vehcle, blocking ur mg, pushing vehicle, rushing with impact nades(and dying shortly after using all or making suicide to cycle to next squad full of impacts) revange bombing or straight suicide bomb just to cycle to another squad etc. Overall I seen increase of the toxic behaviours
I dont personally snipe. I would count sniping as team griefing because you are actively being useless
Did this correlate with the recent event with the egregious challenges that we just got out of?
Could be, events tend to generate that through player numbers increase
