10+ sek reload time will stop spawn-kill problem 12 years 3 weeks ago #13851

A longer reloading time is all it takes to counter the spawn-killing problem.
Tank spawn killing at the airports is no laughing matter, it does in fact destroy the game when it happens. A single tank hiding at an airport can kill every airplane that appears at the end of the runway before it can even take off. By simply prolonging the reloading time for the tanks, - making it a bit more realistic, - say 15 seconds, airplanes would be able to get off ground and defend themselves. Even if it were increased to just 10 seconds, it would make a great difference. A small change like that would benefit the game in more than one way. It would take tanks a bit longer to devastate an airport, giving the airplanes a chance to try and hunt them down between the buildings. Today games are in practice settled the moment a tank arrives at the airport. Tank battles might also become more interesting, making maneuvering skills and hiding between buildings more important.

That would stop spawnkilling, but it would ruin bomb enemy airport modes for tanks.
 Also you wouldn't be able too tank batte as good. [img]i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w511/myatsoethet/squadleader.jpg[/img]

I think not. It would'nt ruin hangar shooting. You would only have to use a bit more brains than brawn, hiding among the buildings while shooting the hangars. And I think it would make the tank battles more realistic and in fact better. Sure, it would take the fun out of arriving at an airport and taking out all the hangars in 10 seconds, but are you certain that helps the game as a whole?

This is a fast paced game. Its not real time. In real life it would take longer to reach bases for they would be miles upon miles apart.

I have to agree with Viedar sorry Green.
It was really nice of you to agree too! I know how much you like your tank!

Lol thanks kevy!
 I do think spawn killing should be stopped....even though sometimes I do it. But, I only do it for revenge on someone now.  Down with spawnkilling! Mp with more frequent tank battles!!  [img]i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w511/myatsoethet/squadleader.jpg[/img]

i gotta say, i havent seen AS many lately. still too many, but its gettin better!
this would solve it, and it'd be easy and temporary. when you get killed by a tank, you can choose to go STRAIGHT to a tank, ignore the soldier. skip that stage entirely. that wouldnt hamper tank battles, hanger killing, or any LEGITEMANT uses of tanks, but it'd get people armed in tanks to deal with spawnkillers. hamers, when could u get air in a tank? that must have been cool! See you in the skies!

Yeah I agree with Q. Limiting the tank isn't the way to discourage spawnkilling. Keeping the tanks out of buildings helps, so we can pick them off from airplanes. Having planes spawn in varying places om the runway would also help.

Tanks wouldn't be hampered much by making the reloading time a bit longer, - just enough to allow a plane to get airborne after having been shot once. Tanks would still be able to take out lots of planes from a strategic position close to a building, but it would not be so easy to shoot the same plane repeatedly. Increasing the reloading time a little is a change that should be easy to implement, whereas the otherwise very good idea of having planes spawn in random places on the runway probably isn't. Or am I wrong about that? What do you say Z?

To become a tank? Yes that is a good idea too, but wouldn't it still be difficult if it happened on the runway right in front of the spawnkiller? Wouldn't you have to be almost impossibly quick in order to find him, to aim and to shoot before he shot you again?

Which idea, Calvin?
On this topic, I just played with "lapd11", and this guy was seriously spawnkilling with a tank. I finally got off the runway and brained him into thr ground. What an a$$. The other players were not helping, but one who got off the ground said thx. Left/right random rjnway placement would be a huge help. BTW I wasn't able to use moderator commands on him. Z, please help! Manfred

Closing off the hangers so you can't hide inside would help. Maybe the immediate airport could just be made off limits to tanks so you have to have a little distance.
My other suggestionis that if someone is banned for spawn killing, their next three game logins they have to ride as a passenger in the Zepplin from start to finish to get readmitted to DogFight. |

People say it sometimes happened you could take off and fly with the tanks when they were newly introduced in the game. There was a youtube video too, or am I wrong?

wamp, calm down!
your right, it is a game of skill, and if the tank reload has been shortened, it needs to be lengthened to the old time. that was good enough. See you in the skies!
