Is sittin out side a spawn spot with your tank trained on it porking?
Dosnt seem fair to spawn in a VH and and some one has a bead on it.

No, thats not porking thats spawn camping. If they are behind your VH and you up repeatedly you deserve whatever deaths you recieve. I recommend jumping in a field gun and turning the tracers off, or just up an IL2, Stuka, etc........

I thought this was a thread about the fat guy that owned a bar in the swamp.

Porking would be shooting stuff other than people like barracks, ord bunkers, fuel, etc. What you refer to, we call camping, or pointy clicky.

Ya Ya I know the common definition of Porking and Camping.
Camping a spawn point is porking for points just the same and has
no place in a real combat simulation IMHO. Simulations unlike Fantasy
MRPG should be as realistic as possible. I find this tactic to be more
repulsive than a HO since a HO is a legitmate combat manuver and used
with great success by the U.S.A. in Korea's mig alley.
Camp porking VH hangers is simply bad form in IMHHO.

Yes, but how realistic is being killed, then magically being reincarnated seconds later to try and kill whomever killed you? Like I said, if you don't wanna get camped or vulched don't keep upping. Simple as that. Or up before the enemy is already on top of your field and actually defend it. If someone takes 10 minutes to drive to your base and actually makes it through, are they then just supposed to sit there and wait for someone to up and kill them? As far as base taking is concerned it is pretty much a necessity. I will agree though that vulching is in poor taste when someone just dives in on a field to try and rack up a couple kills with no intentions on taking the base.

I have only been playing AH for a little over a month so I still have
a lot to learn. One of the things I do know however is that it is not
necessary to camp VH hangers in order to capture a base. It seems to
me that it was the developers intention that you destroy the vehicle
hangers and or the ordance and fuel depots.
My observation dosnt realy have anything to do with reuping over
and over. It's about that first camp kill. A player may have just logged
in or was engaged in another battle before spawning in that particular
base. The just dont keep reuping in the hangers is a lame excuse for not
taking down the hanger ect.
Im just curious why this wasnt addressed in the wright up on game
etiquette. Why does there seem to be an etiquette problem with vultching
head ons or strategic strikes on bases to make them unusable to the eny?
If camping spawn points dosnt amount to bad etiquette the other tactics
dont either.

Sometimes there are troops inbound to town. It doesn't make sense to destroy the vh when it will be yours in a few minutes.
