Very true Porky but what about principle - wait - pinch me - ah - it's only a game - thats right.

Well my two bits worth.
I have spawn camped from time to time, I call it strategic base defense, lol,  but most times i like to stay back from the spawn point a ways and let the person get up and get moving and have an ambush set up in the most likely route to target.  Makes it funner than just killing them when they up.

1.  Almost everyone has spawned camp at one point or another.
2.  I agree their are groups that will provide aircover and keep supplies going so someone can camp.
3.  someone said don't spawn and they will leave, you must not be much of a gv'er, I have seen the same person camp a spawn for hours.  Just sitting their and waiting for someone to randomly spawn.

4. How I think the camping can be fixed is as suggested above add more spawn points, but also is to set the map so You can not see the enemy spawn points.  This would make it very interesting.  The only way you would be able to camp at this point is to get lucky and beclose to a point when some one ups.

This coming from a guy who has spent 14 hours in GVs so far, just THIS month?

Irony...

Sorry but got bored with flying, vulching,  alt monkeying, jabbo-in and flying through barns and all that stuff. Been GVin trying to improve my overall skills and I would much rather land 3 field kills than 30 camp kills any day of the week. So lately for the past 3 or 4 months I spend majority of my time GVin. Besides its a nice little sub community within the game - good people. And yes - its just a game for me - I play for fun.

I think the saddest thing I ever saw in AH was on Mindenao map when both sides had about 20 guys each camping their respective parallel spawn points for hours and hours with no GV fighting going on whatsover. So it was just a standoff at the magic teleport site with no fighting...

I think the best solution would be a spawn  point randomizer where you could be landed into any of a number of dispersed points within a particular spawn area. Or you cpuld choose the particulr points yourself.

Spawn tank. Boom, camper got me.

Try one more time... Boom camper got me.

Spawn Hurri IID from nearby. Introduce the camper to the 'Vickers twins'.

Camper brings in flier friends to shoot me down.

Bring some B24s - Give Mr. Camper an early XMas present - something I'm sure he'll remember you by - let's say in the 1,000lb range. Then when his buddy flies up on you - give him a little taste of the 50 cals. A slight smile will appear on your face as his fighter plane suddenly turns into a smoking piece of swiss cheese. Then respond accordingly to their insults on Channel 200. The usual witty insult is something along the lines of "Afraid to come fight me GV to GV." Laugh, Fly home, and land your kills.

You: X number kills.

Camper and Buddies: Watching lovely view in the base tower.

hate to bust ur bubble but the most kills gained at a camp, are the guys who keep respawning again and again.......

ive seen/killed 1 guy give over 200 kills to a camp  in over an hours time.

I can't fathom how this is even fun for the camper.  It seems to me like the kind of tedium one finds in games like Ultima Online where you have to chop wood or bake bread to build up your skills.  I don't play those games because that kind of rote stuff becomes boring incredibly fast.  

I just don't see the pleasure or glory in spawn camping I guess.  Or, for that matter, in ground vehicles in general.

You know what makes a spawn camper end mission?  Don't spawn there anymore.  His boredom will soon get the better of him.  If you keep going after him to send him back to tower, you are giving him exactly what he wants:  entertainment.

We already have a level playing field for Spawn Campers.  Its called the IL2, P38L, G or J and the 110.  But that does require team work which you have to agree only seems to be done by the other side.

You just don't know the dedication of some of the spawn campers then, they will stay their for hours just waiting for some unsupecting victim.

i just keep upping and upping and upping.

sooner or later he will miss you or get sloppy.


the more kills you give him, the more pissed he is when you shoot him.


I dont like GVs much, #i'll up an osti at a base when FHs are down but thats it.


but.......if someone call on country channel that X spawn is camped. i will make it my mission to up tanks and kill the campers.


man you should see how much pleasure can be gained from killing a camper who has 30+ 'kills'.

man its funny

good point bat,

but then, you also have to consider that a good gambler would now when to hold em, know when to fold em.

you may or may not be concerned with rank, but it is definately detrimental to score no?
