Title: Unbombable ring around spawns
Post by: chaser on January 24, 2016, 08:37:53 PM
I think a large area around spawns where bombs don't work would be fantastic. There are those of us that just want to duke it out in tanks but the skillless dweebs looking for easy free kills show up everytime and start bombing. This would be an easy fix to a long ongoing problem.

I think that there should be a large area around bombers that cant get hit by osti/wirble fire  :devil

And introduce a MAJOR new exploitable one.

... And then your tank explodes if you don't leave said area in 20 seconds

isn't that what the people camping the spawn are doing?

A big no on this one.  I suspect the OP is a big spawn camper that enjoys getting easy kills.  Once in a while you have to bomb out spawn campers so you can spawn in.

I enjoy tank wars but hate not even getting to spawn in to the area  and not even getting to get your turret turned to the spawn'er.

Mater of fact I need to add a new wish.

Nothing worse than trying to take a base but your countries GV'ers will not not leave their spawn camp to help out.

Pro Tip (I heard from Dr7): "NEVER attack a field in gv's when ords are up." :)

Not to say I haven't camped a spawn before but 99% of the time I'm blasting around at full speed in an M18. Two uncamped spawns right next to each other are 100x more fun than a camp anyways. But where there's a tank fight, there are skill dweebs dropping bombs for free kills and ruining the fight until the tanks finally just stop upping. I've been back a month and haven't been in a GV fight yet that hasn't been ruined by dweebs with bombs even if it was all out at the spawn and zero threat to take the base.

I am a spawn camper, I love to hide and shoot unsuspecting invaders. Help me oh great HTC for I have sinned. For penitence I'll bomb 2 spawns, and kill 6 gv's. :(

Can I get an un-gangable sphere around my plane?

I want a big force field protected from the saddle of a large quadruped like the one Jar Jar's people had in the Phantom Menace.

yep and Also I hope they fix icon range so you can actually know a wirb is ahead instead of being 400 off then getting icons on the wirb/ost.

Actually it is 600 yds.  :D

-1 Absolutely not, no.

Come on now GV'ers already have the advantage of short Icons, spawning in instead of driving, sitting in field guns and 88's that you cannot get a kill on the player from a fighter, the ability to end your missions without returning to base, ad infinitum.

What, you can't see it's a wirb there when they start firing 1.5K out?  :devil

Vehicles can't fly "up". Also you spelled it wrong.

A no bomb zone. I like that chaser.

And why are enemy gv icons turned on?  Somebody know?

Tanks in RL did not have icons. They had camoflage or they hid in some kind of object to avoid detection. Expensive hardware.

Planes didn't either <shrug>. Why do you think we have icons for planes?

But if friendly gv's have icons, why do enemy gv's have to have icons? Only planes see enemy gv icons. Friendly gv's do not see enemy gv icons.

My point is why do enemy planes have to see enemy gv icons if the tanks do not? Anyone know?

I wish planes could only see freindly gv's at the same range they see enemy gv's..... whatever that is.


Getting tired of being dragged toward flaks that only my opponent can see. Don't see why his eye sight should be any better than mine.

Equally the faster a plane flies the more difficult it should be to see gv icons.

GVs are in the game to be destroyed by planes.

The icons should go back to the way they were a few years ago.
