Memorable Spawn Campers

[MajIssue]

This sounds like an oxymoron (squeekers look it up) but it seems there is alot that goes into a "good" spawn camp... As much as I hate upping into a camped spawn, I can't argue with the effectiveness in keeping gvs away from a base or port by camping the spawn point. Dr7 and Lynx stick out in my memory as do Rondar and Wonder. Who is your "King or Queen" of spawn camping?

My question (please ignore wether it is good or bad to camp a spawn because we've all see 'em) is what goes into an effective spawn camp and what is the "best" way to break one up short of a hoard decending on the spawn point?

Bombs.

I have been dive bombed by lancs when spawn camping..  Worked for a short period of time...  

Pretty gamey though..

I prefer the F6F..  doesn't brake the spawn, but racks lots of kills up..

[Rondar]

Hmmmm  an effective spawn camp.  Well, for me, I do bring marshmellows and Shawk has promised to bring the hot chocolate this winter.

DR7


Me
My son NastyP47 is making an art out of it
Ironic can camp with the best of them

Dive bombing spawn campers in Lancs is gamey?  No more gamey than sitting behind an arbitrary magical spawn point and plinking the hapless souls.

DR7

My vote goes to Hooter, glad I don't have to face him, as I play the Knight side.  Honorable mentions to DR7, Rondar, and Wonder

The HellKitty is my choice for popping tops on tin cans!:aok

I go get a plane and egg the guy. That usually ends the camp.

hmm I never remember spawn campers.... nothing impressive about it.

Its easy. Just program the game to spawn GVs to different points around the actual spawn point. You can even make it random.

                       Im learning as I go along. So spawn camping is another neat little trick for the score potatos to up their rank right? Sort of like flying exactly 18 bomber sorties a month and finding a way to turn it into a top 10 bomber rating every month?

                    I dont blame the people doing it. People will always find a way around anything, especially somthing as important as their cartoon rank in a cartoon war game. But AH should fix this. All camping does is ruin many a good potential fight. I got clipped 4 times in a row once before I realized what some nitwit was doing.

                  Exactly how does camping enhance the game and why would AH allow it?

Spawn camping allows people to sit in one spot, do nothing, and get kills easily. It allows small groups of people to sit in one spot, do nothing, and rack up lots of kills. It's sort of like IRC, with artillery pieces.

Look at total kills per tour, Rich. Spawncamping is probably the single most popular activity, because it requires almost no skill- no SA, no complicated maneuvers, no extensive training required, no knowledge required of aircraft capabilities, weapon ranges, fuel states... it's vulching for the hopelessly inept.
