Team killing problems is not set by the server. The situation, that you mentioned is caused by the game/net, which is not knowing, who of you did the error (the game has no morality AI). In most cases it depends on network connection (the first to be recognised by the server as killed, must then be the victim). Maybe its more complicated, I'm not that deep into that topic, but in the end, it can't be helped. On the other side, you don't want to have team killing penalties completely off, because some shortminded people could misuse that.

The only thing you can do, is being carefull and understanding.
As hey! It happend in RL too and one hardly could ever join again like that.
All very true. I'm sure I was faster as I was trimmed out flying level at a high power setting and the other pilot was jinking all over the place, but I was still alive after the collision and he was flaming wreckage.

Still fun though. And it's always good to be there because there are real goals to meet, not just mindless aerial combat.
