when did spawn camping turn into "aggressive tanking" Butcher?

pretty sure the term is meant for people who roll around the field looking for enemy armor, not sitting within view of a spawn point waiting...

You ever faced a GV mission before? or at least 20 GV's on both sides attacking? If not - up at tank town and see if you can survive 60 seconds, actually it should be an achievement :)

For some reason they always approach straight from the spawn.

Who do you think are the most aggressive TANKERS in the LWA ?

It isn't any GV'er sitting at a spawn point hoping for a EZ kill.

One of the things that bugs me about the new "spawn camp" Tanker is
I have seen as many as 35 guys at a spawn point.... waiting. And you tell them...
" Their is knowone between you and the base go get it!" And none move in fear of missing
a kill.

He!!.... I have dropped the VH that spawns to the point, fly over and tell them it is down
and they still will not make a move to the base/town... but they will sit for 15 mins for the VH to pop
back up.

Spawncamping isn't new in any way. When I joined AH in 2005, there was a lot of spawn camping going on at that time, with certain "sure" spawns being covered by a dozen guys, many of them in the (at that time) near invincible Tiger (I was one of them). Landing 50+ kills in a single session wasn't all that rare.

Been around at least that long.

Not the tankers that stay waaaaay back there in a highly perked tank on the hill.
I am talking about the guys that will come right up to YOUR berm and shoot you point blank.
You know he is coming and you better not miss because you won't get a second chance.
He will chase you around the berm, come over the top, or peak and pull back to get you to waste a shot,
then nail you during the reload, hide on a v-base........He is sneaky.  You absolutely won't take a perked tank out there when he is lurking about because you know you will lose it and almost always gets you. He kicks, scratches, pulls your hair, or even bites............. but you enjoy fighting him.

That's what makes tanks fun :aok

Here is my list (not in any particular order ) I probably forgot a couple,
But I can always post 'em later.

I had  another of many encounters with airstud. Talk about sneaky and aggressive this guy takes the cake. Sure I get my kills on him but  at the end of the day for every kill he gets 3, 5 or more on me. I seen him sit and long range and ive seen him up close and personal.
 I would put him at the top dude is atank stud lol

I self harm when I do something really stupid in a fighter,  punish myself by upping a GV then hit a guy 3 times he turns looks at me funny then one shots you in exactly the same GV.   

 :mad: Put it down to lag or the fact I suck / GV ing sucks.  Might aswell go play the lottery.   Then re-up a plane and think why did I just waste my time doing that  :D

Also have to disagree with the new icon settings,  I was in a wirb the other day sitting in a Bish town.  They, what I call desperado upped,  Knew town was white and troops were trying to get in.  Myself and Seagle amassed 20 kills between us in the space of 3 minutes or so because they just flew over us repeatedly.

"24 years in a real tank"

DAT and CDAT :bolt:

Man, we used to see you poor guys changing a tread in waist deep, cold muddy water in Germany.
I was glad to be an 11C when I saw that.
Was assigned to 3 Armor Bn's when I was in - support of the tanks. Mid 80's.
Also did Border augmentation for 4/4 Cav.
But 24 years? Officer or enlisted?
Must have retired LTC? Or 1SG? CSM? by then no?

Thanks for your Service :salute

I am the most aggressive tanker, since I drive toward the enemy and die almost immediately.
