getting pissed off
« on: April 05, 2008, 04:40:01 AM »
Spawning into the middle of a campsite and expecting to live more then 30 sec,  well thats the game as it is dont expect more then that. dont whine on 200 how you were killed right off he bat.

adapt and change tacticts, learn dont squeak on 200, tired of that.

put smoke down in front of you, run to a safer spot and learn to shoot at longer distances. 
beleve it or not a panzr can do some damage a distance as with a tiger.
get the kills and perks to get the tiger it can handle more hits at a distance.
in a GV dont worry about scores,  if your killing more people then there killing you then your in the good,  if its the other way around your learnning and just give it time and youll get there and kill more then you die.

but remember the best die a few times each day and the main goal is to have fun and learn more each day of playing this game.

For me (who utterly sucks at playing GV) the frustration is that there isn't any way to tell it's a "campsight" until I blow up 2 to 3 seconds after I spawn in.  My experience in trying to learn to play GV here seems to be:

a) Spawn in, die before you even see what shot you.  Rinse repeat a few times, then go somewhere else.
b) go somewhere else, drive around without seeing anyone, exit out after a half hour or so of trying to actually find a bad guy to shoot at.
c) go sit some where in what seems like a good ambush spot, get bored after about a 1/2 hour of waiting, spawn out
d) go sit somewhere else in what seems like a good ambush spot, hear a tank approaching, die before you even figure out where he is.
e) go sit somewhere else in what seems like a good ambush spot, hear shells strike your tank, and die before you get the engine started to move.
f) go sit somewhere else in what seems like a good ambush spot, hear shells strike your tank, and die just as you realize that the guy that somehow ranged you the first shot is firing out of the middle of a forest at least 4 miles out.

g) Climb back into the cockpit of the Banshee Wail, a broken but much wiser man.

If you up into a camped spawn and get killed before you get a shot off, and you re-up or keep re-upping, and you keep getting killed, who is in the wrong? The definition of insanity..doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.

If the GV spawn is camped, fly back in the tank killer of your choice and blow'em away! Low Lancs are great for that, then start your GV attack before the enemy can get back to re-camp.

I have heard through the grapevine that this game was made to get people pissed off, so if you are, then we have another satisfied customer :aok

Get a joystick and fly a plane, problem solved.  GV's are a squeakie sideshow.

I once spawned so many times against a tiger that was spawn camping that he was down to 1 round and missed my last up. Simply drove around him and popped him in the butt. Cost me nothing for the panzer, got perks, he lost his. :devil The rant on 200 for 30 minutes by him............priceless. :rofl

Il-2 and P-39Q work best for me. Especaily with panzers. Their armour is very week in the back, only takes a few to knock one out.  :aok
