Spawn Camping

[hitech]

What would be the difference of giving the player that spawned X seconds of invulnerability between not awarding the kill?

Invulnerability changes air craft suppression ability.
Not awarding kill simply removes reward for killing some one, but if the goal is air field suppression, nothing changes.

Yeah it is different.

You can hear and see the plane circling the field while in the tower.

You can hear and see the plane from a long way away.

You know the plane is there because you can see and hear it.

See the differences?

why do you have teleporting anyway?

How is it someone can spawn camp a field without the AA gums hammering him to pieces?

Unless he has a real good cover he can't.  Typical (speaking for myself) GV base supression consists of first taking out the VH, Then destroying ammo bunkers, clearing ack out of end of field that can and will track or kill you,  then supress aircraft lifting so your mates can work the town unhindered by that bases defenses. I have seen veteran gv'ers with one GV totally render a bases defenses inop. The answer like Waystin stated, lift from another base and kill them before the town take.  Not awarding the kill in stats won't make any difference to the team players that use this tactic to take bases. Taking the base is the prize. Just IMO of course.

Because, as a GAME, nobody wants to spends hours driving to another base. The spawning is suppose to be timed out so that a spawn will drop a vehicle to a spot that will time out to the base the same as a plane flying to that base.

Easily, take out the AA guns before vulching.  The M4A3(75) is an excellent tank to do it with and after you get bored of vulching, you have enough HE rounds and rockets to wipe out an entire small base and shut it down.

Ah...
