How is this fun?
« on: April 30, 2010, 09:01:02 AM »
Last night I jumped in a tank, spawned to an enemy air base and... was killed ten straight times. Barely got my engine started and was hit by someone I never saw. The same guy, ten straight kills. Every time I spawned I was killed instantly at the spawn point. After calling off my eleventh spawn, the lone gunman posted his 10 kills (all me). I spawned to another base and... same thing. Ten spawns, killed ten times, instantly. Again, my adversary posted his ten kills, eh, victories (all me). Disgusted, I signed off for the night. So much for having fun. So I ask, why are enemy spawn points visible on the map? Enemy CV's are not visible. Why are enemy spawn points visible?

Because they do not move. Amazingly enemy bases and strat are also shown on the map.

Also it sounds like the enemy were having lots of fun?

Yeah figure after like the fourth time the spawn is probably camped.

He would not kill you ten times if you didn't keep uppin in from of him.

Thing to remember about the spawn camp.......  Sometimes, you need a friend.  Campers crave the lone gunman because of the decided advantage. 

That goes away fast if you and 2 other people up. 
See Rule #4
Now I only pay because of my friends.

There are two basic types of "spawn camping".  There is the "spawn battle" which happens thanks to most maps having spawns right on top of each other.  So if I'm sitting on my spawn, and you're sitting on yours and we're 1.5k apart shooting at each other then we're both lame campers and it's no harm no foul.  Then there is the "you attacked our base we pushed you all the way back to your spawn and you aren't smart enough to quit" spawn camp.  Face it if you are getting vulched/camped then you have basically already lost the battle, in the real world you would be dead and we would be pillaging your homes and raping your sheep.

Another few words of advice for you: bring a JABO, bomb him to kingdom come.  Also when you spawn jump to commanders position and watch where the fire is coming from.  Based on the location of fire, decide if you can realistically get your turret around and on target before the enemy tank can fire.  If cannot, do not feed the campers anymore.  I will give them 2 or maybe 3 freebie kills, then bomb the crud out of them or bring friends to the spawn like Logan mentioned.  Either way, camper will be destroyed.

Best advice is what others have already said, bring a jabbo drop him some easter eggs, then listen to him whine about how you had to use a plane to kill him while he's on a camping trip

Two somewhat easy ways to break a camp. 1) spawn a T34 and do not start your engine, look for the guy and shoot him. The T34 has the fastest turrent movement. 2) Up a heavy fighter from the closest base and fly over there and bomb them into next week. What is the worse thing gonna happen, spwn camper cry and call you a bomb****?  :salute

Spawn camping is pretty much the same as setting up an ambush in real life. Some may say that it isn't fair as the NME knows where you are coming from and such but in the real world, ambushes are set up where the NME is known to be coming from or traveling through on regular basis.
