Spawn Camping

[JimmyD3]

Is this much different than flying to a field, circling till an acft spawns on the runway and vulching it ?

Well said Redctchr, I see no difference.

I believe spawn camping to be a form of griefing and should be dealt with. I like the killshooter idea very much.

Personally if I was to change something it would be no death or kill is awarded to either player for the first X seconds after spawn. But the plane or vehicle still dies.

This, is a good idea.

I understand the frustration, but the runway or spawn camper only gets me once.  ONCE.  Then I lift from an adjacent field and come back with the Hurricane IID and life becomes very miserable for the tin can.  No need to change killshooter settings.

Could we award perks/kills with a multiplier based on the height/altitude of planes when they are killed, as well as how long a vehicle has been moving for/distance travelled?

Maybe just multiply it based on distance travelled for both planes and vehicles?

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

That would probably change the motivation to be supressive instead of padding.

As far as tanks rolling to a base and shooting at planes and vehicles, what is wrong with that?  Someone may have been strategic and killed the VH, ords and manned guns to enable creating havoc.  The player who dies taking off learns a lesson we all have learned and we are still here fighting it out in the game.  It's really no different than dropping a bomb on a defenseless tank, dropping a bomb from a bomber on a runway and getting a kill as some unaware pilot takes off.  I personally hate being on the receiving end of those scenarios and try not to put myself in those situations.  It is not like you lose a real life.  You laugh, cuss the SOB that did it to you and you find a way to get revenge!

How a bunch of tanks can sit in your hangar  to blast you taking off is really bs.

[Ack-Ack]

I'm not sure if it's clear in my post, but I'm talking about vehicles driving over to another base and shooting planes as they spawn on the runway.  They always spawn at one end of the runway.

You should ask HiTech tell his story of his adventures in Air Warrior using a T-34 to vulch.

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

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.
