Venting
« on: December 15, 2011, 10:19:34 PM »
I upped a Tiger1 to attack an enemies Vbase.

I decided to stay well back, and use my superior sights and cannon to their fullest advantage.  This was a long drive! 

This is what bothers me to no end.  One of the defenders parked his perk tank on the base, and whenever I hit him, or got him sighted in, he'd "land"  denying me of a possible kill.

So I drive a fairly long ways, risking my perks against some as#@$#% who is hardly risking anything and making me waste my ammo.  This person did it repeatedly.

This was probably the first truley non-fun moment I've had in AH.  And to the jerk who was doing this, thanks alot for making that completely unenjoyable.

LOL I can think of 4 people that this probably was.. Out of those 4 though I'm pretty sure I know which one though cause he did the same thing to me.

Well. You stayed far behind so you wouldn't get killed so easy, and he outsmarted you.  Who exactly was gaming the game?

 :huh

You're saying that using a Tigers attributes to their potential is as "gamey" as magically landing your your tank to avoid being killed?

and again...

Guess you should have killed him in one shot.

Dood ,  I totally would have done what you did but at the same time, I would have done what he did.   There is no fault in what either of you did.  You play in a way which gives you the most advantage.

It's not the same as getting ho'd or rammed.  It really sucks, I totally agree with you, but he took advantage of his position just like you did.

I was in the Firelfy, and got 2 assist and a kill on you and you got 1 kill on me.  I  :salute you for being brave enough to bring a Tiger over knowing full well that most defenders were going to sit on the concrete.

I believe know who the guy was who did the tower out retreat, but the way he was hollering it as if his turret was out. 

Either way, I say you got the better end of the deal.  You tied up a lot of Rooks with your cat-n-mouse games.   :aok

...it's kind of like how tanks "magically appear" in a spawn hangar.  I hate that!

I understand if your turrets out...or your tanks disabled and you want to get back into the action.  But this person was repeatedly doing it as part of their strategy, including towering out when my shells got close but didnt even yet hit.  Thats what I'm not happy about.

No diff than spawning a plane under vulch conditions and baiting them into ack and .ef when they get into guns range.  I've seen this done. I've done it myself at times.

Aim better - get them in 1-2 shots not 3-4.  :aok

And this is where "honor" or "class" comes into play. I know many will say "theres no honor in a game, your playing to win!" I say BS. If you have honor and class as part of you in real life you can have it in the game as well. Personally had I been the guy on the base instead of wussin' out and and towering out each time MK-84 got close I'd move around on the base, change my range and position and make it harder for him to get me. I'd give him the same chance to kill me as I have to kill him. After all it's a game and nobody really dies.

I would agree, but...
