If we’re going to penalize deserters, then I vote for suspension. No reason to pussy foot around, lets show these people how serious we are about our free game no one has a stake in. One week for first deserting offense, a month for the second. Hell, we won’t have to worry about deserters in no time because people will not be playing. After not playing for a while, most of them will have found other games to play while extending their middle fingers to Gaijin and the rest of you who think penalties are the way to go. 
Yes sir, penalties are for sure the way to go. That was the one thing I learned about sales when I managed a car dealership, if those bastards won’t buy my cars, then I will penalize the people who have bought cars. That will teach them. Yes sir, meanwhile, my dealership goes broke.
The DEV’s can impose ANY penalty they want, but if I, and the VAST majority of people here want to quit a game, They are GOING TO QUIT the game. Read my keyboard…“PENALTIES WILL NOT WORK!” 
But, lets keep on the penalty kick since that is about the only thing people here want to consider. Lets kill this game just that much faster.
Let he who has not deserted cast the first stone.

Takes too much effort & time to fix that lets instead punish deserters.

The third, remove all your completed research and leave you with only tier 1…
Had a bunch of randoms desert one game on me so I just lurked in grass and just bomb them until match ended.

mostly good points except for the kamikaze, as its practically impossible to reliably differentiate whats kamikaze and whats being shot down.
people need to think about whether something is technically possible before demanding things.
a single hit at the wings of tail while trying to bomb close to the ground can force a plane to crash. also planes who accumulated damage often times get dragged to the objective to get a last bombing down, that cant really be called kamikaze as the plane already has 95% lethal damage.
ive shot down so many planes from the ground using just bolties aiming at the cockpit and it always looks like kamikaze from the outside and whiners will whine, because they dont know what actually happened.
so: absolutely no penalties for a “crime” that cant even be proven and just assumed.

fun fact: all the water heads who demand time outs for people who leave imbalanced games dont understand that this leads to far more often/severe imbalanced games, as the small faction gets even smaller when their few players are getting timed out

same person coming every 10seconds with hvars and dying at the end of it is quite good indication of it.
Usually someone gets the kill if someone shoots him.
If theres no one in cockpit then its probably not shooting hvars either
Some mentalgymnastic9000 here.
youre bringing corner cases which is no argument to my statement: its not practical to come up with an algorithm that reliably determines whats kamikaze and whats not without constantly creating wrong positives. if you want to counter argue, solve that issue and post it to DF as they also seem to agree with me by not having created one.
i am big proponent for join any bonus, but even i dont believe that it will magically fix the issues, it will just somewhat reduce the problems.
yeah soviet BR2 is extremely hard… germans totally dominate it cause they have superior equipment… what could even pps43 do against mp40…
germans are too OP, i cant even get to 90% WR with soviets…

For all I care they can introduce 4min universal cooldown for planes.
Doesnt matter did the plane kamikaze or just die, next wont be spawning for 4mins.
Like DF solved the issues that causes people to desert ?
Apparently they prefer the easy solutions, this one is easy.
I got a better idea for untalented kamikaze plane spammers:
Make their bombs simply… duds. Never detonate at all, if the plane has crashed. This way their shameless move would also be completely worthless to do.
Exception would be Japan because why not.

I don’t desert a lot, however I am not going to be a hypocrite and say I never desert. When I am on the wrong end of the seal clubbing, the ONLY reason I do not desert is I will play for the daily objectives that Enlisted has set up for me to obtain…That is it. Once I have no daily objectives, WHAT IS MY INCENTIVE TO STAY! None, especially if my experience points and silver I gain for being cannon fodder is not enough to do ANYTHING with.
There is NO way to stop everyone from deserting, however, more would be likely to stay and be that cannon fodder if they had some incentive. IDK, it seems pretty clear to me, especially since not a single person playing the game is going to suffer from incentives being offered to the cannon fodder, since at one time or another We all are cannon fodder.

- I pick high BR Germany/USSR and get forced to time travel to 1942 Stalingrad/Rzhev?
Instant quit.
So yes indeed they need to fix the root cause.
