ok so you are in  plane killing Gv and you tower out when a plane attacks you? really?

Yup, the whines are great 

[Shuffler]

No kidding, you're either trying to miss the point on purpose, or...dude you seriously dont get where I was going with that?

I got your point but you missed mine.

Why don't they just implement a tower-out timer?

Takes 3-5 seconds to tower out.  That would still allow you to tower out when on concrete, you just better be damned sure it's safe.  It would also keep people from camping the "tower-out" spots on the tarmac, which I imagine would infuriate people more than what happens in the OP.

Most are afraid to lose perks, some really don't have that many - veterans who have more then they need simply dont care about losing them.
Another key is most are rookies, they know if they leave the concrete they will simply be killed, so its kind of a two way street.

Its only perks, if you lose a few, then you farm them back, then lose them again....Vicious cycle, its called learning the game - if you don't lose them you will never learn to play fully, hiding on concrete will not teach you how to flank tanks or set up ambushes.

butcher hiding from 2 or 3k out is not really being brave either.  how many times have we hit a tank just to have it pick up supplies?  not really any different than sitting on concrete.  you can try and say one thing is better than the other but fact is you will take advantage of whatever you have in order to get some kills and not be killed.

There is nothing wrong with using a Tiger to snipe from a long distance. What are you using the perks for if not for that?

[Shane]

I deliberately spell it that way.

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.

Am I incorrect in reading this as 'camping' the base?  Maybe if you let him leave the base this wouldn't of happened.

I rarely GV, but that is the way I read it.

Ive always advocated this - 20s tower out timer (and yes it should apply to aircraft too.) gives GVs a chance to finish off the enemy before he magically towers. same delay for GV supps to take effect too, the supps are just as gamey.

Would you be    if I were to bomb you just after killing your engine in your comfy little hiding spot?

This is just another whine about an age old issue.  Trying to get easy GV kills at a GV base without taking out the hangers first.

If the hangers are out the GV's won't tower or they allow you access.  As long as the hangers stand the GV's can tower and respawn at will maintaining thier advantage. 

I had a highly ranked player keep trying to bomb my wirble from an alt I couldn't easily reach one night.  He'd drop, I'd tower and respawn, he'd drop, I'd tower and respawn.  He PM'd me; "Like having to keep towering out?".  I PM'd back "Like dropping your ord on nothing?"  In the end my base was undamaged and he was out of ord.  It's a game and as long as I have a hanger to spawn from I'll play that every day.  Similarily while in an attack plane I won't drop on a guy on concrete unless I know he's distracted or the hangers are down.  I don't like wasting ord.

The same goes for GV to GV.  Same issue, same whine.

This is why I tower out before being killed in a wirbel. I only up wirbelwinds when I can't get a plane in the air due to enemy cappers. More often than not, folks will try to bomb my wirbel before the VH is taken out. It's all about the name in lights of course  . It's funny, I have been PM'd multiple times for doing it. I just laugh.

That's true!  Good point.
