Teamkilling

Damaging an ally's tank, even if said ally is "blue" (i.e. the player's name is shown in blue after team damage/team kill).   This is pretty much all it says in the Battle Mechanics on TK/TD.  I could find nothing else in the official documentation on Blue Tanks and any penalties associated with it directly.  Sadly I can find no official information on shooting blue tanks.  I do recall that at one point in time, I had read that shooting blue tanks incurs no penalty, however you also get no damage credit for shooting them.  I just can't find anything OFFICIAL on that matter.   Perhaps you (KRZYBooP) could link us to something Official on the Policy of Shooting Blue Tanks -- or official rules of how that works?   Appreciate this opportunity to get a definitive and OFFICIAL response in this matter that has the WG Imprimatur upon it -- if you wouldn't mind.     As far as I know, there is no penalty (and there should NOT be one) for shooting a blue tank.     That said, shooting a blue tank gains no XP or Credits.  Shooting a blue tank means you are NOT shooting a Red Tank (the other team).  Shooting a blue tank is a waste of ammo, time and attention (unless it's actively committing harm to your team).   For this reason, I spend very little time on attempting to harm a blue tank.  I am not going to chase them down, nor am I going to spend credits (for shell cost) for no good reason (an inactive blue tank can still spot and meat shield for the team, like it or not).   I would love to see an Official WG Standing on this, though.     GL, HF & HSYBF!
