Last game, 3 heavy tanks came to us to spawn, which, firstly, I couldn’t break through, and secondly, how nice I spawned, they killed me right away. It’s terribly unsportsmanlike and unfair behavior and I want Gaijin to do something about it, at least somehow punish the players who do this.

There’s no rule against spawncamping, it’s just a game mechanic

Just in case, I remind you:
if there are opponents at spawn, they’re constantly marked. If enemy shooting at you and hits spawn immunity,it gets marked for 5-10 seconds for sure.
At the same time (in case of critical one way situation or your will), going to the hangar when you have enemy directly at spawn point does not give a time penalty on the vehicle to use it

I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me i think a punishment like a negative cost to not only incentivize long term but short term with spawn points too
in every case i have experienced the “warning you are visible to enemy spawn” normally tips them off and then just wait outside the radius on the paths that everyone has to take
the heavy tanks need more than 1 round to destroy so a bad shot or if there are 2 (or 3 in op’s case) then by the time you reload they have already double tapped you
in my experience unless the vehicle is destroyed and you have repair funds there is a timer for every destroyed vehicle
Why would there be a punishment for a perfectly legal tactic?

this is why i keep an FV4005 and AVRE in every lineup, spawncampers can give me a free and comical kill while I reduce the problem
As such I don’t think a punishment is the right thing to do, after all the fact that spawncamping means that your team or the opponent’s team couldn’t hold the battle line. Something that could be done, and this is just my opinion, would be that killing an enemy that just spawned would give you a little less bonus. This would also apply to those who camp at airfields in the simulator.

because there shouldnt be a “lets make it impossible for them to do anything but take the time punishment” tactic. it makes the game unenjoyable and frustrating
so i am to be punished because of what others do? i try then get put with a team that doesn’t communicate and get killed because a squad of reversing heavy tanks is at our only spawn with few ways out besides at the end of a cannon. my bad for seeing how that’s not anywhere close to fair and a incentive be implied to stop it
