Newbies will just venture forth after respawn and get “shot from nowhere” again.
Point is: is the negative, revenge bombing, serious enough an issue to remove it where otherwise it doesn’t negatively effect anything else and has a benefit to the game for all? I’d say no and see no evidence to the contrary, in the sense of a big problem.
I found as an experienced player I click past it anyway so can return asap. So who are these “abusers”? If I get plonked on by the same player it is more likely someone on the ground.
I think they could take it away in realistic and leave it as optional in arcade to help new players. Actually I dont really care.
I dont use cams in realistic, I think it is annoying distraction. When you hit critical parts you get a report as a message already it is fine. and when you get killed you can figure it out by yourself without cam tbh.
For the revenge kill, it is up to the players to move their fat ass out of their campsite if they dont want to get revengekilled. Dont panic, press w and move on.
That’s right, there are simulation battles, but not always, I work two shifts and when I have time to play 2 weeks a month, I’m not able to hit my favorite br. If they were available like realistic battles, it would be better and more people would play this mode.
Revenge bombing isn’t the only issue with kill cam.
Someone will get killed, spawn in his light vehicle and scout you instantly, since he was blessed with your exact location for free basically.
Now you are marked on the map, while also having a giant beacon over your head serving as an invite to get strafed.
Basically, you did everything perfectly in the match so far, but for some reason you got punished for it.

Killcam is funny, like when a Sturmtiger got you for example.
Map ping maybe, but the light tank must see them almost directly (scouting can be extremely random) and finding you is not instant. I’ve never played the game expecting my position to remain hidden after a shot it made. It could very well be another player you were not aware of that located you. I rarely get caught out by the same player twice, so not sure if this is a common enough scenerio.
I do not see any of this as punishment. The game is not all hide and seek, and people still get huge kill streaks which in theory can never happen if the kill cam is so hard to react solely to.
But really this topic is regarding revenge bombing and I just rarely see it, it just appears another inflated topic personally.

Oh, so the spawn camper can happily spawnkill you and you can’t fight back…
Sure… nice idea…
Let’s do it…
The kill cam is actually good, it shows how and where you’ve been hit.
I have analysed quite a lot of my mistakes just by looking at the kill cam.
I was like “How the fuck did he hit me there?” I saw the camera an “ohh frick… okay my mistake”.
And do you really believe that getting rid of the kill cam will stop salty players from hunting you down after you killed them?

I understand that.There is the flipside as always .One player gets ten kills and ten players leave the game in rage and disgust because they got taken out twice near spawn by something they couldn’t see all game.
I have had some good games in an SP such as the 88 or Yag getting five or six and I’m wondering how long my reign of terror will last because of kill cam ,yet bizarrely nobody comes for me.Sometimes I’m jumped on by the revenger in a plane but quite often I am taken out by somebody who I assumed was a revenge bomber only to find it was a different player entirely.
My point is I see it both ways ,use both ways to my advantage and I can live with killcam as I have done for years.Same with CAS really.

And yet you’re salty about my post.
I should have read your post before I made mine as I duplicated what you said, my bad :)
At least we are in agreement.Flog the camping horse for as long as you can before you get the richly deserved spanking that was always coming to you lol

Finding someone shouldn’t be hard given the fact you have their exact location, so nothing more than a mediocre map knowledge is needed.
Also, at least from my experience, scouting will more often allow you to scout something you shouldn’t be able to, than vice versa.
Firing your gun can be heard quite a distance away, which is more than fine if you ask me. You were in the vicinity, heard me shoot and now you know the general area I’m at, but this still isn’t free information being handed out by the game for absolutely nothing.
Same goes for another player I’m not aware of, fair play to him. But this isn’t free information being handed out as well, someone had to work for it.
This game literally has a bunch of vehicles that should be playing hide and seek in order to play to their strengths.
Personal experiences will vary, so there’s no point in drawing conclusions out of that.
Also, if you go higher up, helis will also become another tool for revenge which you haven’t considered.
Come on dude.
The maps are really small already, so if your team (16 players) ignore one part of the map and allow someone to sneak by unnoticed, that’s honestly not that player’s fault and he should be rewarded for that.
Lots of people in here don’t want to completely remove the kill cam, just transfer it to the end game screen or something, so you would still be able to learn from it, but won’t get any advantage that’s viable for the match in question.
Wouldn’t stop them, but would make their job much harder. As it is now, kill cam is a freebie given out as a reward for getting killed.
People live with it, but it doesn’t change the fact kill cam is an unfair advantage being given out as a reward for no particular action/reason.

I am not salty, I am sarcastic :D
Dude you called me out to “read the thread” when I was AGREEING with you. Are you the only one allowed to be pro killcam here today? Does it bother you when other people write a post on a forum supporting what you said? Or did you just not understand the words? I can’t be “out of arguments” if I’m on YOUR side. Come on, read more carefully.
Thanks for the “off-topic” flagging by the way. Forum thought police gotta thought-police.
Dude…nothing I say on here is said to create butt hurt so dont be.Now shall we do grammar? :)
My map knowledge got so far that I can pinpoint my pings on the map when I see gunsmoke in the distance. Helps CAS ^^

Thats what Ive meant Im fine with kill cam how I died , but Im not fine with it gives away my exact location.
Kill cam is one of the tools the game provides to aid the “I got shot from nowhere!!!” crowd. Unfortunately that information flies straight over their heads. It’s a motivation to shoot and move.
I dont think there is enough trust in the game to remove kill cam. Players want closure,they want to know how and why they died. Just simply exploding into flame is not cutting it. There also seems to be no correlation between taking fire from a particular direction and damage showing on the corresponding side of the vehicle,you get hit on the side and the front is damaged.You can take 3 shots and see no damage to tell you where they are.
