Hello there... 

Drowning in itself is not unsportsmanlike. At times it can be really funny. However, drowning yourself because you're the last man is very unsportsmanlike. 
The other replies here have already explained and analogized a lot. Allow me to add in some more. 

So let's take the reason of you denying the enemy of their kill and its equivalent credits and experience. You can argue that they are the "enemy" and you don't want to give them anything. Okay, I can understand that thinking. I don't think it's right but I can see where you're coming from. 
However, you are also speeding up your team's loss. Now, are literally contributing to the enemy team, THAT is unsportsmanlike. Very, very unsportsmanlike. 
If you force a draw by hiding, you will take the victory away from the enemy legitimately. By drowning yourself, you made no effort to help your team; you deliberately made your team lose. That is why it's unsportsmanlike. 

All the examples above my post are pretty good as well. I don't think I need to say more. 

TL;DR - It's against the rules, take it like a man, enjoy your ban.

Incidentally, this is a really good explanation.

 

However, it doesn't quite cover the point of view that "I am the last tank on my team, so it's ok." - what would you say to someone in that case Conana?

How do I sign up as a beneficiary for such a class action lawsuit?

 

This is important. I want my money.

You should contact his lawyer at P.Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

That situation is really on the player. I can say it's not okay but I can't make the player feel any different once he or she has given up. I can suggest losing with grace, let them have the last kill, etc. 
If it were me and I am going down, I want to at least damage that cheeky barstad that wants to kill me. Make them earn for that last kill

That's it - get that last shot of damage in, who knows, it may be an ammo rack which ends up carrying the game!

This is pure unethical business practice by wargaming this will lead to a class action lawsuit against the company.......

The fact you'd make two comments like this suggests you may have difficulty surviving in the real world. Did your permanent carer recently leave?

 

You may have difficulty starting action against them due to Covid, however. The governing law of the EULA is England, isn't it? Or did they move it to Cypress. Either way, may make it hard to for you to engage and instruct your lawyers with border closures. But good luck. Keep us up to date on your progress, eager to see how you go.

I hope

This would be brilliant, however I unfortunately doubt that's the case.

Your tank has HP, people play the game to take that HP so they can get credits and xp. You are literally denying that.

Yeah that must suck depriving some cheating aimbot bot player some extra damage.

The one thing I agree with the OP on is the oil slick soap rocks. These have resulted in countless rolls/upsie downsies and while it can be hilarious, it's very annoying as sometimes nearby allies won't help or can't help re-flip the vehicle (even trying their best due to size/weight difference). This was even worse when team damage was present- my only ever ban was from team damage inflicted trying to reflip a platoon mate (USA Scorpion tier 7) with my IS.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I am so freaking pissed and just needed to vent and let off some steam. Just now I was taking a shortcut through the river and enemy arty tracked me while my repair kit was still inactive. The battle report said I was drowned by arty. I could have sworn I have made it to many arty players' bi.tch list as they loved to rain shells on me.
