Agreed on that- the maps are a wee bit too flat in places.

HAHAHAHA so you're only "camping" because you  launched a successful counter-offensive, eh? So why don't you get a friendly to come drop troops and actually, you know, take the base? Yeah, right. People spawn or hangar camping while shouting NO U WE'RE WINNING DA WAR are obviously lying.

BUT- you raise a good point. The constant problem with Aces High is that the game is played, quite often, like a game (go figure,) and yet it provides a "war" simulation. In games there are rules, in war there are none beyond "win by any means possible." If six P-47s show up over an enemy airfield, drop eggs on the hangars, and hover over the field to own it, is that a dirty dirty spawncamp, or an aggressive CAP to lock down the field while they wait for a troop drop and/or ground assault? This is the same issue that comes up with cherry picking/interrupting 1v1s, head-ons, etc.

Though IMO it's fairly easy to tell if somebody's locking down a base in preparation for taking it with troops as opposed to farming pelts.

If I'm camping a spawn, it's because I'm farming pelts. (and someone or multiple someones keep upping to provide me with aforementioned pelts)
Understand that some folks really DO need to piss on the electric fence multiple times before the signal to stop reaches their brain.

If I'm camping a hanger, it's because I'm suppressing for an imminent capture.  I know full well that there is not much of a chance of landing the 10 kills  I got on some lemming, because he will be pretty pissed by the time I would run out of ammo and need to leave.

If I'm camping a runway, it's because.......

well........

because it's as funny as hell      :rofl

First let me start with a big thank you to wing47 for providing us with so many kills that night.

Now allow me to add that this particular spawn was one of those great places to find a gv fight (double spawn) and there was a time that same night that things turned around for a while and there several of us upping in while they had the numbers. The funny thing is wing is not complaining one bit about those guys camping and neither are any of us that upped while they had the numbers advantage. :headscratch:

Nothing lasts forever. I sometimes sit in a Vbase hanger killing the same newb 15-20 times waiting for our troops to drop. If they don't get there fast, the newb will tell someone who will either bomb their hngr or up 3-4 GV's at once all turning there turrets toward me & ya can't reload fast enough, so there's almost always a way to deal with it, that's better that trying the same failed method X20. If it don't work do something else & make a frustrating moment a fun one.  LEARN FROM YOUR FAILURES  :banana:
