I have a few to share:
Just yesterday I was on the airfield map in Normandy as Axis and decided to try and actually take an HS-123 off the runway and takeoff into the air. Well, as soon as I hopped into the seat and started the engine, my 4 other soldiers died because I “team killed them” and my propeller broke. Basically, all 4 AI soldiers had the bright idea to run into the propeller. And then, when I tried to hop in another HS-123, a Sherman somehow spotted me and blew me and my plane to smithereens.
Another time I was playing Allies on Pacific and got my hands on a Arisaka rifle, and I saw a lone Japanese soldier prone shooting at far range. I decided it would be funny to sneak up behind him and start shooting in the direction he was also shooting and see how long it would take for him to notice I was not friendly, and either shoot him, or jab him with a knife. Well I only got to spend 10 seconds with him before a white phosphorus grenade comes flying at us and it kills us both while also team killing him in the process.
This last one was probably due to lag or something, but I think it fits. On Berlin as allies I saw a 9 man axis squad set up perfectly outside the house we were advancing on. I decide to pull the pin on my grenade, wait a few seconds, then throw it out the door and get them. At least, that was the plan. Because the moment I threw the grenade, it just floated in the air for 2 seconds and killed me. None of the German soldiers were harmed. Keep in mind there were no obstructions like windows, bushes or beams. Just invisible, dirty air. The grenade just floated in the air for no reason, like I was on the moon or something.
So what was your most annoying “No fun allowed” moment in a match? NOTE: Don’t use this thread to bash the Devs or your fellow players. Just share your moments that happened in a match.

Gotta be honest - I didn’t know you could get in those planes. I swear I’ve tried to do it but not for a LONG time. Does anyone do that? Is there any possible positive outcome?
My no fun moments are unfortunately common. I look forward to a few games, usually in the evening after work and spawn into the abyss. Spawn into a game where the opposing team is stacked and I"m one of one or two humans on the other team and the other human has gone straight to plane or tank. Disappointingly often, a Bomb is planted or blown or a CP is capped (against us) when I spawn and I’m so far behind the round that it feels silly.
Worse yet, I spawn into Koenigsplatz confrontation as someone that still has a ways to go to finish Berlin Axis. What a freakin’ nightmare of a map/mode combination. It’s one of the worst in the game and that’s saying a lot.
When I saw a American Jumbo harvesting my teammates in Normandy, I decided to be a hero for once and go destroy it. But as I took out the stovepipe, aimed at my target, and prepared to fire and enjoy the thanks of my team, a friendly AI ran up to me and deflected the shot for the enemy, and the only person injured in the whole scene was my soldier, who was knocked down by his own shot. It seemed like the safe distance of the stovepipe would only protect the enemy tank, not the shooter like it was supposed to do.

Teammates blocking my line of fire in a tank or an HMG like what the hell is their problem? Its like are they begging for more kills after me killing alot of enemies using them.

See, that is why they need to add name tags over players/bots. Because atm, they can troll other players and get away with it, because we have no clue which player did what. If we could see their tags, we could report them for trolling and maybe, just maybe they can get punished.
EDIT: Like just today I had a guy hop on the front of my Pz IV on Normandy and just crouch then stand up, crouch then stand up. over and over again as I drove to the target. It was like he was dancing in front of my gunner and commander optics. Thankfully, he got killed by an enemy shortly afterwords, but it was still annoying.

My two biggest recurring moments are:
-
Any time I guess which possible location the objective will go to next, and it decides to go to the other one, completely wasting my time and efforts.
-
Every time that I set up decent sandbag placement, and it instantly gets taken down by frag grenade spam, when the frags aren’t even landing near them.

Tried to build a rally point…sole engineer in squad taken out by a richocheting bullet on the last hammer animation. Then took an engineer squad thinking “This will show them” and the whole squad is instantly wiped out by a plane bomb.
That’s WW2 for you.

i’ll start by saying that for no reason in the world i will ever leave any matches.
outside esternal factors ( such as high ping, the game crashes, or i have to do something irl )
though, the " no fun allowed " matches are getting more and more.
not because i am becoming unsensible and untollerant to many things ( but might be also a cause )
but i’m starting to hate the monkeys that keeps jumping and shooting ( which it’s still viable despite the various changes made. i don’t know. but feels like it has been reverted ) second thing are tryharders. don’t get me wrong here as well, as long people put out a fight, it’s fine.
but when those individuals starts running full of automatic meta weapons, spam grenades, flamethrower spam, suicide bomb, suicide plane, spam hes with the strongest tank, it’s really getting on my nervs. c o n s t a n t l y. like it’s a competitive match and their honor depends on it kinda makes me feel unease.
dunno. maybe i am getting old or some shit. but i’d take custom matches or mods any day at this point.
too bad none of them two can at least make me slighlty upgrade my equipment.

As for the current state, it’s less a moment of no fun than a constant feature of this game.
And it’s based on two letters: AI.
It simply ruins any feeling of having fun.
Regardless of what you attempt to achieve tactically within this game, your bots will ruin it.
Example: Flanking. You try the opposite of what your teammates do (rushing like lemmings straight forward) and flank the enemy in order to establish a safe rallypoint, no attacking until it’s built.
And your bots will do either all their best to drag the attention to your mission (not ceasing fire and taking no cover at all even if they are under fire) or miss to defend your attempt to construct, killing all your effort to open another frontline. Simply frustrating.

Like in the other Gaijin Game WT, fun ends when the CAS vs Ground Spam begins. Make every match a unrealistic annoying mess.

Some of the most extreme tanking moments just destroyed the entire enemy team to the point that they couldn’t get as many kills as my teammates do.
