Title: Is camping all that fun?
Post by: jaxxo on July 28, 2004, 08:37:20 AM
Had same guy spawn camp for a good 3.5 hours last night. I tried multiple respawns cause I dont give a crap about dyin in a gv, but he whipped me pretty good. Normally i can get the campers if i try enuff. He did have two other campers with him. When i finally did get him (spawned tiger) he came back in a 38 to kill me, than straight back to spawn camp. I applaud his effort for fighting to keep his spawn camp spot for that long lol. I get bored after 5 minutes if nothin spawns and punch out. Anyone know the record for longest camptime and kills landed?

I dont know the record but if there is one held it is by either GENERALX or TopGunz. Those guys will sit and spawn camp for days on end.

Anyone ever tell them there are planes they can fly in this game?

Had a pretty good fight with you in your Hurri, if you were the first Hurri-2C in a knife fight with a P-40.  Besides, Stang blew through and got you right as I was about to shoot you.  I don't think I'd have done any damage though, 'cause I was in a P-40B.  

So I was like "You stole my kill *****!!!! .....   thanks..."

Sorta reminds me of when I was a kid (10-12 yrs old). I'd go out into the woods with my Marlin .22 just before sunup on cool autumn mornings, find a comfortable spot at the base of a tall pine, and wait for the forest to wake. Pretty soon a squirrel would come within my range....



Somehow, though, spawn-camping in AH doesn't hold the same appeal for me.

And I was like, "Bwaahha! Sucker!"  :lol

I'd much rather steal Fubar's kills though, way too much fun to hear him squirm on local vox.  :D

I look at it like this. Camping is kinda like fishing. Sometimes you catch alot and sometimes you don't. And then sometimes you get a hole in your boat and get sunk. It can take alot of patience sometimes.
As far as the record goes I wouldnt know.
My personal best is landing 75 kills in 45 min. in my tiger. And one of my squadmates landed 204 in a period of about 4 hrs.
But these are rare. And would be impossible if it weren't for all of you great guys that run us supplies when needed. I wish the game would give you some more perks for donating your valuable time with such a valued resource.
As far as flying goes everyone knows I can't fly worth a crap but I still try to learn occasionally.
But it is awfull hard since patch 6. My fps went to the floor.
My pc went completly backwards of everybody else. But that is ok I'm sure HiTech will get it all straightened out eventually.

Try completely uninstalling the game.
also manually check in the HTC folder to make sure it is gone. if not delete the files manually.
If you dont and leave the files there you will see no improvement.
I learned that the hard way.
then Re-install the game but do not copy over any of your AHI files including  any aftermarket sound packs Like Mitzus.

Thats what has helped me out quite a bit.
Though Im still not completely happy or satisfied with the performance Getting alot of stutters and minifreezes  now and I STILL experiance occasional FR drops into the lower teens by and large they are  much better then it was before.

Give it a shot you dont have anything to loose.
In the meantime keep posting about your woes in the bug section.
If you dont say anything they wont know anything is wrong

You can get arrested for that, I hope you are not a scout leader.

most for me was 47 kills in tiger and i camped for 2-3 hours... i too will get bored easy, but ill give it 20 minuetes or so and if nothing comes then ill land, but i look at spawn camping in two ways, keep gv's out of your base, and get kills fast and alot of them by pissing the spawner off enough to keep  him comeing back to try to kill me:D

Sweet!  The universe was at peace once more.  I think my record on one load of ammo in a Spit V/Seafire (all vulches) was 22 kills.  I don't think anybody whined though.  :(

Title: GV SPAWN ARROWS SHOULD BE REMOVED
Post by: RT on July 29, 2004, 01:15:41 PM
Some of us remember when there were no spawn arrows.  Less spawn camping occurred cause if u wanted to set up at the spawn you had to find it.  

Any group camping a spawn can be beaten by an opposing group determined to spawn in.  

The most I have landed was 115 in a tiger.  I was set up some distance from the spawn at about seven oclock.  It was during a fierce fight over a base, side I was on outnumbered and rolled back ... trying stem tide and defense happened to stiffen at that base.  Took about 15-20 minutes to get the kills, maybe less.  Pulled out during brief lull and got lucky by not getting bombed on drive back to the field.  

Generally, if I am at a spawn point, it is because I fought my way out to it.  I do not play tanks defensively.  I stay on the move and attack forward.  When I get to the spawn point I stop.  

At places where spawn points converge, ya just fight over the spawn point.  Got 1000 kills in a week at v35 on trinity once.  We just went at it.  Died lots too that week.

I dont sit around killing time at spawn points, and I spawn into campt places and fight my way in.  That's what separates people who like the fast action from those who are concerned about their stats.  Lost 20 or 30 tanks at the same spot Jaxxo was talking about ... a few hours later same day.  Then we spawned in even numbers and killed them.  Unfortunately, the nme didnt want to fight anymore and the battle ended.   And that permitted us to roll gvs in and take down town and capture the base with gvs and air cover.  Most times the fights I get into are when we are contending over a base.  

GVs are more useful to take down towns than they were in AH1.  GV play is much more fun with the new terrain.

one last input since i seen 2shad4u post, sorry bud.

spawn camping can be expecially humorous when you get the chance to randomly kill ex-fellow country members... i say humorous because when i dont know the player im killing him because i like being mean but when its a buddie its entertainment:p

Apparently we do Pawz, and they like camping out, spawning and some even like to expose themselves occasionally.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.


Think I'll stick to the flying. Sounds a wee bit strange down there on the ground. ;)

actually being on the ground can be more fun at times then flying..

take for instance, your on the ground in a good furball! try avoiding enemy bombs, rockets, and the occasional straifers. while wageing an all out tank battle on the ground... lots of action lots of fun... ohh and you also get to take pop shots at low level enemy planes, and sometimes get proxie kills:D

Wow--nice smear attempt.  I was there--roscoro is clean and interestingly enough it was BGBMAW that he landed 19 times.  BGBMAW in a gamey attempt kept spawning lvts right at one of our ports and bum-rush the base by releasing troops like a madman.  Very un-cool if he tried to cover-up his dweebishness by insinuating that someone/squad was self-vulching...

lol    yea it was BGBMaw LMAO ...  ok heres the truth ... i flew over to defend the port (mindano map top west one ) there was a cv battle going on
just as i upped i got a proxie for a pt boat . then the nme cv sank .
there was a nme f4u over the port but it vanished by the time i got there ....  but low and behold they were spawning lvts right at our port (BGB and Ravn ,i think there was 1 other too)
Well they were in ack range of the port  LOL  and hell i got the 1st 10 kills as proxies without firing a shot (I was laffing so hard i almost augered )   after that i made a bunch of passes on them .
 (19 kills was cool to land but being all gv vulches sort of dont mean much) Id rather land 12+ air to air kills in a spit (im still trying to catch Lev's record )


So basically I was spawn camping in a spittoon w/ack assist
:rofl
