since spawn point increase
« on: April 12, 2005, 02:17:38 PM »
since HT has helped the spawners by increasing spawn radius by 500 yards, i think its time to help the planes taking off vs vulchers.

since u cant increase the popup point and still be on runway,  id say increase ACK hardness and also increase leath  and accuracy.


as is right now 1 fighter can deack a field and setup vulch, thats intirely too easy. should take a corrdinated effort from multiple
fighters and/or buffs to deack a field.


if ur gona program against spawn camp, then u got to do it vs vulching, they are the same.

Of course they're the same.  Why just yesterday I landed 45, 54, and 78 kills in a Spit V while vulching.

It is a catch 22 when you talk about increasing leathality of the ack.  If you increase the ack so much that a fighter or small group of fighters cannot deack, then all you will have are bombers going to fields and dropping hangers.

I agree it is very easy to kill ack.  I can usually kill all the ack at a field with 1/4 of my cannons from a spit.

At the least if they up the ack leathality they have to up the hanger hardness as well.

I am for anything that creates more fights!

So if I deack a VH, and get in a strategic place - then start picking off VHs as they emerge from the hanger - is that spawncaping or not?

I mean, I drove to the feild - eliminated threats, secured a tactical advantage, and am continuing eliminating threats as they leave from a hanger.



Is that "vulching"? or "spawncamping"?

So what solution u have in mind ?
why should someone be able to die 20X taking off.
Anti vulchers already have the La7.


just let me laugh ok.

Four or five times an hour?  Sorry, but the spawn camping gravy train is over.

While it would prob be considered "camping"  it is a fair tactic. If you remove the ACK threat and are allowed to set up shop, then you should be able to keep the hanger "secured" until  A} your buds show up to capture. B} someone ups, gets lucky shot and kills you  C} someone spawns/flies over to engage you

If anyone other than Leviathan had made that claim, I might not have believed it.

One plane can deack and cap a field alone if nobody resists.  If they decided to only up once the enemy has control of the base then that's their damn problem.

Keep in mind that when you try to take off of a vulched field you know it is vulched before launching.  When you jump to a spawn point you have no way of know if it is camped or not.

Well ... it could be "vulcamping" or "spawnching" ... not sure ... I must admit that I am leaning towards "spawnching" ... has a nice ring to it.
