Spawn Camping

Wow you really are an idiot. I said in my original post, that the spawn camping started within 30 seconds of the game starting, already making your “when then game is over and you are overrun” claim false.

“Can’t you drive from spawn to somewhere else without getting killed?” Clearly, you do not understand what SPAWN CAMPING means. If you could drive out of your spawn and not get killed, then it wouldn’t be spawn camping.

“Cant you take a wide left or right ,hug a hillside or something like everybody else?” You also clearly have not payed attention to any of the maps that are the most susceptible to spawn camping, as almost all of them have no cover in the spawn area and taking a wide left or right turn would often times just put you right into the very people camping the spawn.

As I said previously… if someone enters the detection range or shoots someone who is with spawn protection, they should be forced out of their tank. Simple and easy fix that eliminates spawn camping as it will keep people from going into spawns or shooting into them.

Wow it’s almost like this isn’t my main account! Ikr, shocker! Who would’ve thought people have multiple accounts!

I stated in my OP that it was a Type 10 and Leopard 2. That alone tells you it is Ground and what BR it is.

“If I can creep up on a spawn camper when playing on an X Box with a controller then somebody with a PC should be able to. Open your eyes and get over it.” It’s almost like there are more than 1 person spawn camping and doesn’t matter what you do as you are dead even if you kill 1 of them.

And once again, here you are proving that you are one of the very assholes you stated were on the forum. Immediately pulling the “first post” and “no knowledge” card when faced with something.

Yeah well read the rules ,Multiple accounts aren’t welcome on here.

Play at a lower level if you cant hack it at a higher one.Simple.

So what do you want to happen? Invulnerability that lasts forever? Play Arcade and you will see everybody all the time if GRB is too much for you.

We have situation now where CAS can waste their only bomb on a tank they were never going to harm due to invulnerability.What a waste of time that makes CAS.

Maybe if you call “time out” loud enough everybody will take pity on your lame ass and leave you alone.
Top tier is harsh so drop down if you are not up to it.

First time? Cause i’ll tell you, every year someone says something should be done, every year, people “make suggestions” and every year it goes no where. Cause every idea that people suggest does nothing to fix the issue and only just piles more problems by creating future issues.

Well, easy to counter spawn camping. Just spawn a vehicle, don’t move, kill some enemies in the spawn while invulnerable, and J-out.

Yea, nah… That’s just exploiting to avoid being killed in that manner.

Top tier speeds + terrible map design = easy spawn camping.

There’s a multitude of things they can do to fix it, but they don’t for some reason. The Carpithians change is a good example, adding that second spawn did a lot for the health of the map (didn’t stop it though).

How many suggestions have been made to Gaijin and how uninterested are they?

We have suggested cover and they leave none and we have suggested four spawn points or even a spawn line across the map.We have suggested various points of entry like Company Of Heroes. All this years ago.

All they do is F**k the game up with red zones and invulnerability.

The campers deserve it for not even letting the enemies leave their spawn.

Having a spawn zone where you can pick anywhere within the zone (Ala World in Conflict, if anyone remembers that gem) would be amazing. You can then pick your spawn placement depending on what route you plan on taking delending on your vehicle etc.

I’d say for “Spawn Camping” the enemy shouldn’t be able to shoot you if you can see them on the mini map.

I made official suggestions to the devs over this and nothing.I also suggested this to avoid the traffic jams at the start of the game.

Like most things they bug the hell out of you but you either quit or just get on with it.

They could have defences like Airfields do but maps would need to be much bigger and spawn would need defences.

Most just see Spawn camping as a reward for getting to the enemy spawn and I can actually understand that.If a team is so lame that they let the other team stroll in then OK.

If you want to take a position between the enemy spawn and the CAP zone then who is to say where that position should be? Cutting off the flow of reinforcements is tactical play so why should that be taken out of the game?

Spawn camping is a risk like any other,it may work or it may back fire badly.Same as using CAS.

Frag the enemy before they get there.

Zero Reward is the best option

Then in the same mantra, you deserve to have it happen to you, regardless of the stuation, just because someone doesn’t like dying to your tactics…

That’s how dumb your stance is when your suggestion is to genuinely exploit out of spite.

I have seen the enemy get behind the friendly spawn and it won’t even register on the mini map. Maybe a vague directional arrow? Very difficult to even tell where the enemy tank is.

How to they not get something like a return to battle field warning? Or do they? I feel like I cannot even get that far back in back of a friendly spawn.

I sometimes die like this when spawn camping others and I won’t complain.

Game mechanics of invulnerability and J-out is not exploit.

Using it in this manner is a sign of bad sportsmanship, and is an exploit of the mechanic for an unintended purpose…

Not that you could even reliably do it in this scenario that you put out, so you’re just trolling.

I just found this lol.

We have different definitions of “exploit”. Maybe it’s helpful of a GM/CM to claim this IS exploit or not. And I bet they will say NO again, just like about other “non-sportsmanship” things, SIM PvE, AF camping, and so on. Of course that won’t persuade you, instead you will say “Uh the staffs say it’s no… But it actually is… If you consider this and that it IS exploit…”

They actually came back to the point that it was unsporting behaviour, but they were blind to the idea of the abuse and tactic you demonstrate of abusing it to get your shots in, then deny them the kill as a cheap, lame ‘get back’ on them…

And decisions are never final in things like this, as the instance I demonstrated on that thread, is still happening, and I don’t think they’d see it as anything less than exploiting if they had it happen to them.

Again though, there’s no need for them be classed as ‘bad’ in the way you’re painting them, as they are merely playing the game as it’s supposed to be, but you, in your righteous want to be vindictive, drive yourself to being petty.
