I have been spending more and more time in gv's, just because i was getting burnt out/frustrated flying so figured i would take a break for awhile. I have noticed the same, but believe me somehow it evens out in the long run.
I finally worked up enough skill/courage/rage to get a tiger and my very first battle was against a spawn camping tank. What the person who cried for help never told me was that it was also a tiger! (gulps as he spawns in) I spawn in and there bigger than life sits this tiger with his gun pointed right at me! (mommy he screams) Being a never say die former marine i start to rotate my turent, BANG he gets in a shot, i took my time and aimed between his turent and hull, BANG i get my shot off just before his second shot. Wow still alive and no damage, poor spawn camper though, i killed his gun with that one shot! (jumps for joy and knocks himself out hitting ceiling of tank) After that it took me 2 more shots to finish him, one for motor kill and finally for destruction. By all rights i should have been dead but fate smiles on us poor newbs once in awhile. By the way we were only 150 to 200yds apart when this happened. Stick with it lady luck will smile on ya soon!!!!
