how do you feel about a player defending a vehicle base by bailing out of his plane in the hanger and then killing troops trying to capture with his 45. My main problem with this is I think the the bailed pilots icon does not show up on the field making him almost impossible to kill unless he is actually in or near the map room. How do you antivulchers feel about it. I think it is C/S but if that's the way you want to play then I am game.

I'm rather torn about it, honestly.

It seems like quite a cheap way to defend a base, however legitimate.  You don't know the guy is down there, he doesn't have an icon, and he has the ability to kill a full load of troops with his .45 with nobody being the wiser.  So, you get a group of guys who have legitimately taken control of the base,  but are unable to cap because of one guy running around that nobody can see. 

On the other hand, however, that works both ways.  Both sides *could* do this, and I'm fine with it.

It's just with all the "super uber honor" of the side involved in this (much less the person in case who actually did it) Probably has hurt the cause of his supposed goal of a "non-gamey/MAtardness" arena. 

So, henceforth, no quarter.  I will HO, vulch, spawncamp, Chuteshoot, LancStuka, and ram- if this is the kind of game we're gong to have, then so be it.  But don't blow smoke up my prettythang and tell me you're full of honor if this is the kinda crap you're gonna pull.

Strafe the maproom before dropping troops. Rounds go right through it, I was sitting in one in my jeep last night, shot through it, didnt see the hit sprites for ~50 yards.

I don't have a problem with it, it's the same as guys who hide in the maproom.  If that's what they want to do, let em do it.  I think the difficult controls make up for the no icon.  The one time I tried to camp a maproom, I just gave up..i kept getting stuck on walls.

1. I'm not a Nazi, I just play video games.

2. I've seen the red "CHUTE" labeled icon so you can see them (I think, might have been drinking).

3. One can always bail and have a CHUTEvCHUTE battle. Maybe goon drivers should bail to escort their drunks to the map room.

4. Prior to dropping troops you could send in your own pilot to spawn camp the hanger with his pistol.

5. Everything we do is gamey -- It's a game.

6. I need to map some keys or something because I can't get my dude to move.

7. Question: can a gunner bail? Could be fun to have some 110s deliver a platoon of stick man soldiers.

It is a valid, if cheap tactic used by some to defend a base from imminent capture by those unable to defend it in the air, or land.  Was a time it was used as a last ditch effort, (no pun intended) to save a base from capture.  imo, it is over used now-a-days.
