Not really. I've been spawncamped most of the time.
But beside that, only few people are there any more.
If I survive the initial spawning, I have a very hard time finding enemy GV's at all. Usually I die to aircrafts now, long before I have to chance to fire my main gun at other vehicles. Pretty boring now.

 Aces..... HIGH


In ye old AH1 folk did actually try for gv to v base captures instead of this endless round of whack a mole but it was commonly known as "Furball Island" then.  I wonder why :rolleyes:

Well... just like pilots did actually fight for a base instead of just racking up kills by bombing GVs at TT like a certain player from Coventry did... :D

Whats wrong with TT?

Nothing. Tank Town is fine but instead of the easy satisfaction to spawn up on which ever side had the most numbers, sit there and fire and land uber amounts of kills you now have to work. If you look around TT all the old tanker guys are there ie Rondar Dr7 Bipolar 1Lefty ect. What you dont see in TT now are the score hores(due to not being able to spawn and camp it kills there K/H time), the newer less skilled players, the older players that are skilled poorly in tanks but due to not being able to spawn up and camp they cant get kills.

The new TT requires you to.

1. Be able to range from long distances.

2. Constanly be moving since there are 3 spawns you just cant sit behind 1 spawn and never die, Now they can up at the next closest one and kill you.

3. Not be a dweeb. You cant just park right behind the spawn with 50 of your country mates picking on the 2 or 3 guys upping.

4. Now you have to work you have to be moving listing and thinking at all times in TT if you expect to live.

Sorry... Personally, I do love the new layout, and I had much fun the first days slowly rollin around, stopping & listening for possible enemies. But the number of players there had dropped to such a low level that my fun in TT has diminished. Because I find driving around for 20 mins to find a target to shoot at is pretty boring.
Usually I die to a bomb first. Maybe it's different at prime US time when there are 400 players online instead of 200?
It's sad that players left TT, but it's a fact they did. And I can't say I like it.

(In old TT I usually died to bombs too, but player density was high enough to get at least a chance to fire a few rounds at enemy tanks before going boom.)

It exists.

That island was much more fun when the spawn points were all the way back near the canyon entrances and there was no town.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
