(This is assuming there’s no current teamkilling penalties already in place, I personally haven’t seen points removed. If there are already, let me know and I’ll work on deleting this post.)
Like the title says, I think any teamkilling should result in point deduction of some sort (even marginal). There’s really no reason not to have such a system in place, and assuming everyone is being relatively tactical and calculated with their placements, this will have no effect on current gameplay whatsoever.
What this would solve, is terrible tank drivers, artillery, mortars, and bombing placements as it would now make it less incentivizing to people staying back and just bombing the objective with teammates on it.

The only way you can teamkill is with artillery… So its not really a thing

There’s been cases where I dropped a bomb in my JU too close and killed a friendly. (Maybe bugged from beta but still)
Regardless, if it’s such an uncommon occurrence, then there’s no reason not to have it as it will only punish people intentionally team killing. With that, I see about 5 teamkills from artillery strikes every or every other game.
you can bomb them,
you can artillery them,
you can run them over with a tank.

No, I should not be punished for stupid AI or retarded players getting run over by my tank. Its impossible to see them sometimes, randomly get hit markers all the time, what if you get someone grieving the tank player?
Artillery? Hard to do, AI and players are stupid sometimes. Mortars, bombing runs or artillery is the only way to dislodge enemies that are dug in and holding, sometimes that means pulling a danger close. I can’t tell you how many games I’ve won because of this. Airfield or D-Day i.e if you drop a cap when it’s almost done the Germans will dig in and pile up hard, full lemmings train, it will be a massacre where my team will just throw themselves at the cap and die. One good bomb drop/mortars or artillery will usually solve that.
Better to have a report system to stop intentional growing if this occurs. But I have yet to see anyone actually doing this.
