As I noted before a similar check should definitely be implemented.


A telefrag is something different, though, as it occurs, when 2 players use a teleporter in rapid succession - I never saw that happen in IL2
Hm, I have not yet played multiplayer quake, or Q3A. Offline, in Q3A, spawnfragging happens quite a lot (one spawn in twenty?). You're right that there are, and should be, no teleporters in a flight sim. I thought spawnfragging and telefragging were similar because the result is essentially the same, something appears where something else already exists, and one or both are destroyed.
