Friendly fire stripped me of my rank of second lieutenant?

[kingneptune117]

I was flying the second F-15C mission, where I had to transport the C-17. I did the whole thing, it landed and said they can finish the taxi by themselves, and thanked us for the escort. Obviously, I figured I could now RTB and land in order to finish the mission. I approach home base, and all of the sudden i get a mission failed sign because i failed to stay close to the c-17. I got pissed off and went and gunned down the c-17 while it was taxiing. Anyways, at the end it told me i have been stripped of my combat awards. Now my second lieutenant ribbon appears pure black. What is this? Do I need to reinstall in order to get back my normal ribbon?

Well, aside obvious - that killing your own is a bad idea - you don't need to reinstall. You could just create a new pilot to get a fresh start. (Logbook > New)

Same thing happened to me the first time. I flew the mission again and I stayed in pattern above the airbase until the C-17 got inside the parkbox. Then I RTB and once I touched the runway mission completed successfully.
