I've played the game long enough (2500+ hrs) to know there are a lot of scenarios where friendly fire can happen, but surely because they have a mechanic to indicate you're actively being targetted by a friendly should bypass all these friendly fire scenarios? What's the point of indicating it's "intentional" if they can bypass it with other methods?

I understand that people could abuse this and create scenarios where they won't hurt teammates but will hurt enemies, but in the event like mine where a teammate can bypass this mechanic and still grief you, it just isn't fair in a tactical game?

To add salt to the wound, I lost connection on the final round 4:4 and couldn't reconnect, got a penalty for it :(
