What am I supposed to do if a teammate starts firing at me in World of Tanks?
It sometimes happens that a teammate deliberately tries to kill you for example if you stand in his way. It often happens on Province or Malinovka that I hide behind a rock next to the spawn area and snipe from there. Sometimes someone else tries to push you out and if it does not work they start firing at you.
In these cases I ask them to stop but 80% won't do so and in this case standard procedure for me is to ensure survival: I kill them and continue the game. Today I received an 1H ban because of "Team Kill" but in fact it was self defense. What can I do in these cases? Just standing there until I die is not an option.

Far more often it's idiots who just shoot randomly while rushing out from the start area, hitting half their own team before anyone even spots an enemy.
As said, there's automatic penalty systems in place to detect and punish them. They get fined your repairs, if they do it enough they get banned. Which you encountered ;)
First ban is an hour, second is a day, third is 3 days, fourth is permanent (or something along those lines).
Tends to give people pause to start teamkilling, and I guess it does. Haven't seen much deliberate teamkilling lately.

Most TKers won't listen to reason, so there is no point in trying to reason with them.
Camping may be unpopular, but that doesn't mean it is an invalid/bad tactic as there can be very good reasons to do so. In fact I'd argue that the meatgrinder mentality which many players have is worse.
When people FF me I usually say something to them in chat, and if that doesn't have any effect (usually the case) I try to bait them into TKing me so that they will cop a ban, or perhaps block them in somewhere inconvenient (this is easier when playing TOG :D) until they apologise.
I'll usually blacklist them and add a note explaining why I did so - "TKed me at start of round" etc
I'd like to think people wouldn't TK but with a free-to-play game there is less incentive for people to behave.
