Three nights in a row I've been killed by friendly fire, twice when I was clearly identifiable as a friendly.
I know that things like that can happen, I've been guilty of this myself. However, the frequency is getting a bit ridiculous. Three times in three nights is not fun anymore.
Therefore, I would like people to remember the following things:
If you kill a friendly, you spoil the fun for them for the rest of the round. A round can be pretty long, so you are potentially looking at ending someones evening prematurely. You owe it to yourself and your fellow players to be a bit more careful.

Therefore, I would like people to remember the following things:
- Just because you aren't leading a mission doesn't mean you don't have to be aware of the situation. Know where your friendlies are. Listen to what your team leader tells you.
- If you are unsure and not immediately threatened, take some extra time to positively ID your target. The incident in the Entebbe mission is such an example. I was looking the goddam other way and pointing my gun the goddam other way, so could whoever shot me remind himself that in such a situation, you only pull the trigger when you are absolutely sure that you are not firing on friendlies.
- Sometimes, the excuse brought forward is "I was on thermals". Then switch to bloodydaylight mode and make sure that the camo of the vehicle doesn't match your own. "I was on thermals" is NOT an excuse.
