The other day i was flying around my own base looking for enemy tanks and my base suddenly switched to other country and started firing at me because the other team won the war. It was quite silly.
Impossible as of a patch within the last year (roughly), when a war is won, the current status/ownership of bases is maintained. Most likely explanation was the base you were defending was captured and also the map-winning base capture.
Not to be rude or degrading, but many would argue that death for ultimate failure is appropriate in some situations.
