drowning punishment

Ectar:   After physics changed and drowning became a thing, initially there was no penalty. I and various other staff pushed for a penalty and now any vehicle that drowns counts as having all crew and modules killed/destroyed which equals maximum repair cost.   The fact you don't get to kill that player doesn't really make a massive difference to your battle outcome. The fact they kill themselves only works out worse for them. The system is fine as it is.   At the end of the day, anything you can do to deny the enemy team a win or deny them glory is worthwhile. You're not there to do the enemy team favors and help them get medals. If an SPG kills himself rather than me spending 7 mins trying to hunt him down, I'm cool with that.  If my team are dumb enough to try and hunt someone down instead of capping, I'm cool with that.  Sometimes you have smart people on your team, sometimes you don't.
