There was the old AW method to deal with this sort of thing, called Persona Non Grata status.  In AW, if you were to shoot down two friendlies within a 24 hour period, the third time you shot down a friendly you would have your guns and ordnance disabled for 24 and an additional 24 hours for each team kill after #3.  Once in PNG status, all you could do is either up a fighter/bomber with no guns or bombs or up a C47 and fly supply missions.

To deal with people flying wrecklessly in front of a friendly firing maybe they should both take damage? maybe each get 50% of it?

No.  That greatly reduces the chances of an enemy aircraft being eliminated when it should be, yet also creates a chance for two enemy aircraft to be removed when only one should be.

Not all the time, but it has happened to me a few times times including blowing myself up with a tater as someone swooped in (and I'm sure I've done the same).
