Putting a "cool down" on towering out if hit by an enemy is a pretty good idea IMO..  if you get pinged you cannot /.ef for say 30 sec or until the other guys is dead OR out of icon range.

30 seconds is kind of a long time, and I personally might find that more frustrating than helpful (particularly when I know the base is clear).  I was thinking more along the lines of 5 seconds, most bombs/tank rounds don't take more than 5 seconds to reach their target anyway.

maybe just enough time to allow a tank to put 2 or 3 more shells down range to finish him off then - 10s?

Wow I can't believe anyone has to tower out. While I'm tooling around in my 38 I don't do anything and end up in the tower. :P

I sense that we will not understand the truck war people.  Spawning, camping, towering....I think I'm comfortable in my ignorance.

shoulda just grabbed a ar234 or A20. You hate when vehicles stay on concrete, they hate when you keep passing over dumping ord on em. Once they spawn out if you are in the A-20 just drop a 500lb on the hangar they spawn out of every oh 45 seconds  until it goes down or you get enough kills on them trying to start up :aok

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

Semp
"outsmarted"!!!??? No. The  towering lilWimp  that was unwilling to even TRY- was gaming the game, OBVIOUSLY. YOU know it, everyone reading this knows it, and any other claims are just attempts to justify the breakage of the spirit of gameplay. I didnt call it cheating, just an INCREDIBLE lack of ANY kind of character upon the part of the "cheatcode generation" mentality of the towering child. If you REALLY dont see anything wrong with this, then you have zero self asteem and probably cheat against yourself in solitare, then celebrate aboot beating yourself.
Lol at the lying ,cheating, win at all cost losers. Try actually playing as indended, do it over and over again, youll get better-and EVEntually you wont HAVE to pull gradeschool BS like that, cause you might actually gain the skill to win from a disadvantage. Or at least TRY. :ahand

whats the diff when you try to vulch someone on the runway and he tower's out? is it considered ok if you up...I.E a 262? you come to attack and he came to defend... you dun like him towering out... he dun like you attacking his base...you dun like him towering out.. go closer... and  do not use the tiger's awesome zoom lenses and 88 guns and try to snipe someone 2-3k away......TAKE THE GAME AS IT IS my friend and stop whining!  this is what i learnt recently from some others... :salute

dude, he was sitting way in the back in a tiger where he can pick anything that gets close to him way before another tank can damage him.  and he complains about another guy who sat on the concrete with the same intention of not getting killedso who exactly was gaming the game?

It's like me staying 20k above a field and picking guys taking off them climb up to 20k and complain because the other guy ran to ack and landed his plane instead of staying with a damaged plane and let me pick him off again.

I see nothing wrong with sitting in the back and picking people off, at the same time the other guy did nothing wrong either.  they both took advantage of what the game offered.

you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.

If I'm in a tiger, and they're in a tiger, and its long range.
They're sitting on concrete, at their base.  I'm not.
How am I picking?  how am I gaming the game?  If I .ef  I die.  If they .ef they "land"

Everyone know's, including youself what I am getting at.  So listen to what I'm saying, not how I'm saying it.

I am listening and it sucks, but you both gaming the game.  had you been sitting on a bunch of supplies and he kept knocking your turret out, you woudnt agree with him if this was his post would you?

pressing .ef is not any different that having supplies right next to you.

and the only reason you would bring a tiger is to pick tanks from far away.  I am pretty sure you had no intention of taking the base.
