I have looked through all the updates and I can't find ANYWHERE in them where GV's can now tower out ANYWHERE on ANY map and just get a ditch without giving up a kill. I have had snailman tower out at LEAST 15 times in a row on dirt away from the spawn point while a bomb was in the air and he never died ONCE, all he got was a ditch. I looked at his stats and he accumulated 39 ditches so far 15 or more was from today. I have not found any mention of this "change" in ANY of the updates.e.
Because there was no change. It's working still the same as it always had worked. And no you just can't tower "anywhere"
If the place you tower out is closer to your own base than the enemy one, it's a "ditch". If it's closer to the enemy base, it's "captured"
The spawn you are talking about is very close to the home base, not the enemy. If I had been closer to your own Vbase, I could not have ditched.
perhaps people that don't want to be bombed (like in the real world) should have a "special" arena just for GV's, instead of towering out over and over just to grief someones game.
This is an interesting point of view, as you and your Cowboys were simply circling over a GV battle between two Vbases, trying to rack up a lot of kills by bombing tanks being in a fight. Nothing wrong with that, but I could imagine a lot of players would call that "griefing" too
BTW, after your CV was gone, the battle really was getting a good one. I was being killed a plenty of times by other tanks.
