In such a situation the only thing going through my mind is an enemy tank round.  When I try to spawn vehicles a dialog box pops up that says "Why bother?"  I can't capture a base with an M3 because there aren't 10 troops drunk enough to get in with me...heck, even CARGO has been known to make a break for it.

Wash, rinse, and repeat for aircraft, of course...

The people who call it more fun are the people who arent south west spawn :lol We need LOTTA trees, LOTTA hills, and plainly more cover.  And i saw everyone getting hit, cuz the 2 other sides did an apparent truce, so more dead southwesters.  LET US LIVE LONGER THAN A SECOND!!!:furious

Well honestly it does get old.. Last night Someone drops the Rook VH.. So I up a fighter I noticed the VH's popped and I was ready to go land my sortie. Then I see a Nits bomber rolling in 5 mins after the VH popped to see it go down once again.

So our VH was up for about 5 mins before it was hit again. So you don't think I'm going to go return the favor?

The night before last I had to go porks the Nit's A base on TT to stop the constant VH bombing.  I don't play TT a lot but if I'm in the mood I'll jump in there and get some kills seems time and time again the V base keeps getting bombed.

Personally I think the only solution is to re-arrange the V bases so there is no way a single bomber formation can take out all the VH's in one pass at a V base. Seems like a logical solution to me.

In real life would all the hangers be grouped together so one bomber could take them all out?

From now on I think when the VH goes down and I'm trying to play TT I'm just going to up bombers and carpet bomb the other teams spawn. Seems fair enough to me.

I thought as a game, the point was to have fun.

What resources are being wasted in TT?  Don't we have unlimited ammo, fuel and lives?  

If by "resources" you mean other players, i'm not quite sure what to make of that.  I've never viewed other players as "resources" to further my own agenda for playing the game and it's disturbing in a "Napoleon Complex" sort of way that you do.  Their $14.95/month...their fun....

I bet that very knit saw that as a retaliation strike for some rooks taking down our VH before. And so the wheel goes on and on... It's just like a vendetta in Albania, because every side will only stop it when the other side does stop it first

So many players in buffs over TT claiming they get spawncamped to death... sure.

All it takes is a few tries and some smoke and you get out however badly its camped. Better yet why not spend the 5 mins it takes to drive from VH and you are set. Alot faster than beeing whiny and upping buffs while sulking over getting killed in their tanks.

TT has always been a JOKE.

You can thank me for dropping eggs on VH's. It's like killing every tank at once.  

There's nothing more fun than ticking a whole country off at one time.

Here's a hint kill the ords and you won't have to worry about me dropping hangers.


Seriously, if AH focused on making this game more of a realistic war game there would be no TT anyway. Maybe HiTech should move TT to Practice arena or Offline play. Don't worry you only have to see me flying 25k over TT for another month anyway.

Nothing personal against any individual player, but all is fair in love and war.

here's to smoking hangers, Cheers

In fact after dropping hangers I then aim for ords at airbase to really get under the skin. :aok

well gotta go Vehicle Hangers to Bomb

A couple of squaddies and I had more fun last night furballing over TT then I've had in AH in quite a while. Other than scenarios and FSO of course.

If ya don't like them bombing TT, up a plane and cover your buddies on the ground! Think I averaged 9 or 10 kills per flight and had a BALL!

And for the "waste of resources" whiners, I then proceeded to go help take 10 back...since the FPS got to low at prime time..:noid Did someone really say help win the war so we can get our perkies??? You can get more perks than that in 1 or 2 good flights! REEEEEELLAAAAAAXX.....

Nothing makes me smile more than droping bombs on a bunch of Gv'ers with 30+ kills.
Only to get messaged about tank town being only for tanks .ect


I wish tanks were seen everywhere like they use to be,not just all smack dab in the middle of the map.
