If you don't want to get kill at a spawn point, you could take the long way to the nme base in a tank.

Same thing happened to me last night. I uppeed from the vh and was promptly killed three times. I then realized that they had the base covered pretty well and I moved on. Not my lucky night. I will not however complain that it was no fun .
Even that was more fun then survivor or dancing with the idiots !!  :neener:

That's just it, THEY, didn't have the base covered. It was one guy at the spawn point picking me off from miles away. Happened at 2 bases. Couldn't even get my engine started, didn't want to up a plane and fly all the way there only to have him "end sortie" the minute I flew overhead. To me, it's like vulching a runway in the DA. You get easy kills, but what have you really accomplished?

sounds like the fun would have been coming back with bombs after the 2nd death. I would have came back after the first one, i don't bother with campers on the ground to often.

Why are enemy spawn points visible?

I'm not sure. Let me consult with BagRat, since he's very good at calculations.

Oh, here it is... BagRat's done some analysis work.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Shouldn't have reupped past the 2nd time. Should have taken a plane with bombs and killed the camper.

No it probably wasn't fun, but its up to you to think also.

Fool me 20 times and I'll go to the BBs and try to make it look like it's their fault, not mine.

I would STOP re-upping at the spawn.

Then up a heavy 38 or typhie and head NOE to his last known position.

He sees his base or town flashing and thinks he's missed seeing you.

No dar bar--then BOOM.

Its a hobby. :neener:

What about the newb that doesnt understand the game yet and gets killed like that?  No seasoned player would continue to up, at least i would hope not.....  Wonder if that would keep a 2 week trial guy from becoming a paying player?  Lack of help and frustration of dying over and over again like that?

If they give up over dieing they aren't going to last long either way.  And there are seasoned players who up repeatedly at camped spawns.  Some folks love shooting their way out of a spawn camp.
To each their pwn.

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?

Im not a GV'er, but have you considered designating a larger area wherein a tank may spawn; location being random?

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.
