Had same guy spawn camp for a good 3.5 hours last night. I tried multiple respawns cause I dont give a crap about dyin in a gv, but he whipped me pretty good. Normally i can get the campers if i try enuff. He did have two other campers with him. When i finally did get him (spawned tiger) he came back in a 38 to kill me, than straight back to spawn camp. I applaud his effort for fighting to keep his spawn camp spot for that long lol. I get bored after 5 minutes if nothin spawns and punch out. Anyone know the record for longest camptime and kills landed?

I dont know the record but if there is one held it is by either GENERALX or TopGunz. Those guys will sit and spawn camp for days on end.

Anyone ever tell them there are planes they can fly in this game?

Had a pretty good fight with you in your Hurri, if you were the first Hurri-2C in a knife fight with a P-40. Besides, Stang blew through and got you right as I was about to shoot you. I don't think I'd have done any damage though, 'cause I was in a P-40B.

So I was like "You stole my kill *****!!!! ..... thanks..."

Sorta reminds me of when I was a kid (10-12 yrs old). I'd go out into the woods with my Marlin .22 just before sunup on cool autumn mornings, find a comfortable spot at the base of a tall pine, and wait for the forest to wake. Pretty soon a squirrel would come within my range....

Somehow, though, spawn-camping in AH doesn't hold the same appeal for me.

And I was like, "Bwaahha! Sucker!"

I'd much rather steal Fubar's kills though, way too much fun to hear him squirm on local vox.

I look at it like this. Camping is kinda like fishing. Sometimes you catch alot and sometimes you don't. And then sometimes you get a hole in your boat and get sunk. It can take alot of patience sometimes.
As far as the record goes I wouldnt know.
My personal best is landing 75 kills in 45 min. in my tiger. And one of my squadmates landed 204 in a period of about 4 hrs.
But these are rare. And would be impossible if it weren't for all of you great guys that run us supplies when needed. I wish the game would give you some more perks for donating your valuable time with such a valued resource.
As far as flying goes everyone knows I can't fly worth a crap but I still try to learn occasionally.
But it is awfull hard since patch 6. My fps went to the floor.
My pc went completly backwards of everybody else. But that is ok I'm sure HiTech will get it all straightened out eventually.

Try completely uninstalling the game.
also manually check in the HTC folder to make sure it is gone. if not delete the files manually.
If you dont and leave the files there you will see no improvement.
I learned that the hard way.
then Re-install the game but do not copy over any of your AHI files including any aftermarket sound packs Like Mitzus.

Thats what has helped me out quite a bit.
Though Im still not completely happy or satisfied with the performance Getting alot of stutters and minifreezes now and I STILL experiance occasional FR drops into the lower teens by and large they are much better then it was before.

Give it a shot you dont have anything to loose.
In the meantime keep posting about your woes in the bug section.
If you dont say anything they wont know anything is wrong

Camping is fun. The longest I did it was 2 hours. But usally when I camp its not really camping because I expose myself.
