How is this fun?

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

 




here we go again......

The heart of this game is about pissing off the other guy.

Seems I remember someone from a long time ago said this recently. Wasnt he that guy who figured out an applet so he could long range aim his tank gun in Air Warrior? Just saying. Seems if you are pissing someone off you are getting your $14.95 worth............

I love upping against campers, especially if it's multiple campers. It makes me feel better when I kill a few of them. It is real fun though to keep upping to keep them busy while a squadmate runs over with bombs to kill them.


However that said, I won't keep reupping if the campers are to the rear of my spawn and the spawn is in an area where you never spawn behind some cover. Otherwise it sounds like a fun time to me even if they get a bunch of kills out of the deal.

Egging spawn campers gives me reason to live on from day to day, and reinforces my entire belief system.

Week or so ago I upped into a camped spawn, got blasted by 2 different guys 2 times in a row. There was a very small air presence, and we pretty much had it covered, so I brought back a heavy Jug, 2x1000 and a 500 pounder. Found the fools, egged both of them and one of their life partners who was also there. RTB, rearm pad, headed back. Caught 2 of the three almost back to their camp site, egged both of them again and laughed my arse off after the 200 whines started. RTB'ed to land my egg kills and lucked out by finding a lone Typhie trying to pork our field, dropped on him and killed him before he could get there. Landed my 6 still whining scalps.

THAT my friends is living!

Dont spawn and crank the engine,  the engine sends smoke up from starting.  Basically, a here I am shoot me thing.  Grab the 50cal and take a quick scan to see of the terrain first.  I usually dont start the engine, until I have done this anytime I spawn.

You get easy kills, but what have you really accomplished?

What have you really accomplished when you get a non-easy kill?  Not a lot, IMO.

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?

everyones idea of fun is different. you like tanking. i like fighting.

you like vanilla. i like chocolate.

that being said...i'd have not spawned tht many times

The definition of insanity... According to some.. Is, trying the same thing more than twice and expecting a different result.. You might try camping a spawn with someone who knows how to do it.. (certainly not me.. lol).. That would be the best way to see what your up against.. I prefer to dive bomb them..

I think it is a lot of fun trying to break a camp. I would have spawned in and dropped smoke. After a couple of times getting killed , you may have smoked out the spawn enough to hide yourself from view of the camper. I have only been playing for about a year, but "TxMom" is one of the best spawn camp breakers I have seen. I have seen this player break a spawn camped by more than 5+ tanks.  I never spawn in and start my engine without taking a 360 degree look around. If there is more than one camper at a spawn, your best off quitting after getting killed a few times. Up a p38 and drop bombs on them. From what I have learned, the biggest mistake you can make is to spawn in and start your engine before taking a 360 degree look around. The camper has to constantly be looking for where the tank will spawn in. If you start your engine, your making it easier for him to spot and kill you.

I think it is part of the game. No use getting upset about it. I learn a lot about this game when I get killed by someone better. I have been killed many many times by some of the best GVers in the game and have sent them a personal message asking what I did wrong, and they always tell me what I did that got me killed, and gave me advise on how to get better.  I enjoy the GV part of this game very much. The strategy of a wooded area tank battle is always fun. Yes, I do get mad sometimes when I am in a tank battle and some guy drops an egg on my head, but I consider it part of the game.

  50 guys come on and all post the same remedy??? Is it that you don't think the first 10 guys got it right or is it that you just can't read  

Calling the guy names and flaming his buttocks hardly makes for a new long lasting member , better to just suggest a solution and help him out.  He is probably a non-flyer, so the "bomb the camper" idea never occurred to him

Box, I'm pretty sure no one labors under the impression that it does.

Well he spawned and died 20 times so maybe he needs to read it 20 times.

So are you saying that folks are just lurking on these boards to make mean spirited comments to satisfy some "peanut" mentality that says "if I can degrade someone then I am somehow superior"??

what a sad commentary on the community if that is true
