It's beyond ridiculous now with the spawn camping at  TT especially at V23..


This is a 2 minute video I made where I'm killed something like 5 times in a row. The game isn't even fun anymore to GV.  

http://www.strafing.com/temp/tt-useless.ahf

To make it worse, the spawn from V23 is the worst spawn because it has the least cover and is under immediate fire from both V2 and V44.  Meanwhile V2 nor V44 is under direct fire from each other.

V2 Has direct fire from spawn V23 but dose not take any fire at all from V44.

 V44 has direct fire from v23  but has no direct fire from V2.

Rooks have been suck at V23 for the last week in LWBlue if not longer it's beyond old and tiring. The arena needs a manual reset and someone else needs to get stuck with the crap V23 spawn.

V23 is at an unfair disadvantage because it's constantly taking fire from both spawns. If you try to do a quick engage of campers from one spawn you get hit from the other spawn or vice versa.

It's beyond lame and annoying at this point. Please either manually reset the map so Rooks get a different spawn and one of the other teams get the crap spawn.. Or change the map.

Lol Man at lest you didn't up a tiger 5 times like me trying to break up the spawn campers died about the same rate you did…

I would up more but the hangers went down....  guess it saved me the gv perks huh. But seriously though V23 spawn in TT is jacked up, may I suggest more wind mills to the V23 spawn.:D

I do agree that Reset in LWBlue is long overdue….

Spawn points at TT need to be moved back alot, up to ~5k from each other.

Drive from VH.

It takes 5 minutes, but when you get to TT from an angle the campers cant see from their gunsight you will pwn them so hard that they whine for 20 mins on 200 and then up buffs to "kill your cheating ass".

That kind of misses the entire point of TT. If I want to drive 5 or 10 min I'll go attack a airfield.

As a side note I have switched to both teams to test the spawns and it's 23 that is at the biggest disadvantage.  I tried the V2 spawn the on Thursday and I tried the 44 spawn last night b4 I went to bed.

Both spawns I had no issues at all of getting into the town, in fact of all the tries I only died once going to TT town and that was on the v2 spawn.

Yet upping at V23 is less than 50% chance that you make it into the town. It's way beyond a unfair advantage for the other two teams.

BTW even if we did drive from the hanger @ v23 it still leaves us at a unfair disadvantage because if we get killed it takes us another 5 to 10 mins to get back into position from v23. Yet if we kill players at v44 or v2 tt spawns, they  can instantly re spawn at their location. So we would need to have twice the amount of players if not more to control both spawns.

So it's beyond lame at this point and I'm to the pint that if I feel like GVing and the spawn is camping I'm just going to up bombers and kill the other two teams VH's. It's just come to the point I don't care and if I can get other players willing I'll go cap one of the other two TT Vbases so we can have a fair chance getting into the town.

That's another issue is if you do happen to get into the TT from v23 you are there until you die or run out of ammo because if you do get in you can't get out. Unlike both V2 and V44 which stand a very reasonable chance of getting out.

That is a full time job.. I've upped an A20 on more than one occasion to try and rid the area of spawn campers. It's as they call "whack a mole" because the other two teams don't have to travel anywhere to have V23 spawn camped. And they have no real threat from the other team unless they were dumb and let someone get behind them.

Much less you can't carry enough bombs even on a A20 for all the spawn campers or stay alive long enough with fighters in the air ready to swarm a easy target.

The answer is simple.. I'm just going to start bombing VH's on TT until the issue is fixed.

V23 has always had poor cover on the spawn, by the way my two of those guys were squadmates.  :rofl   But in the words of Bill Clinton "I feel your pain"  But thanks for the great video.  :rofl

From crockett's film.... Clearly, this bug needs fixing as players will exploit it just as this guy is.
