Seems like the rook resonse to seeing 37 enemy planes over tank town and no dar bars anywhere else on the map.
I did my first ever tanktown missions yesterday and it only took an hour before I realized that most GV'ers are blind, deaf, and stupid.
You would have to be all 3 to continually spawn and die to a tank that that is clearly visible from the default tower view.
I watched Iraqvet drive right up to the field in plain sight and kill everybody who upped a tank (was not camping vh).
I finally upped and got him smoking only to watch him rumble back out past 4 friendly tanks that were spawn camping and make it to his base for supplies before my m8 could reach him.
Look around and listen..............before you spawn.
Rumbling out and dying before you get 1k from a base over and over not only does nothing to help you but the continual noise means other base defenders can't use audio clues to the enemy tanks.
