Stealing Tanks is not Base Camping!

Ok, maybe change the word "snipers" to "bailed-out pilots jumping into unmanned flak and killing aircraft as they take off?" Or how about the nigh-unstoppable "bailed-out pilot jumps into armored half-track and guns down flak crew and pilots, who can only retaliate with pistol fire or jeep ramming"? These had nothing to do with the Battle of Britain either. Yet they feature prominently in this FH battle on unregulated servers.

If you're just standing, waiting for a plane while the rest of your team is doing all the work, you deserve to be sniped.

I agree totally, but there are exceptions, and Battle of Britain is one of them. If all the flak near you is full, there's really nothing else you can do. The object of the map is to destroy the objectives or defend them, from the air.

Speaking of Battle of Britain - a perfect example of camping in WWII. I'm sure the British didn't like it very much, but they did something about it to fix the problem instead of whining for someone to kick the Germans.

I agree with you there, except IRL, neither side had to worry about a couple of bailed-out pilots derailing their entire effort. Maybe they gould give each side a spawnable kit with a random rifle or SMG, "airfield defense garrison". Then each team would have the means to deal with bailers in a realistic fashion, and it would give a few people something to do if they didn't want to wait around for a plane.

Bad idea, these guys would jump into planes and land them/ditch them off the enemy coast and go camp their base.

I say all flak and such on BoB should be locked in the first place.

. If all flak cannons are manned, what are you supposed to do, run around trying to take down planes with your pistol and knife?

But on the other hand, if a flak cannon somewhere is not manned, go man it if no one else's near it. Flak cannons are downright vital to a British victory on BoB. Planes alone can't do enough damage.

Say bye to that lovely tactic in Battle of Britain, lads.

Every square inch of terrain with a flak, plane or APC has an antibasecamping killer now...I am loving this feature

I think just removing parachutes would be a better idea on this map. The axis planes still need to fly over the bases/flak to accomplish the objectives.

The "Warning, you are leaving the battle..." will get really annoying as you fly over areas that you have no intention to camp.

Excellent, I'd been asking for this in nearly every BoB thread for the past couple months.

I'm not sure of which kind of anti-basecamp mod they're using, but I've been on servers where they had server-modded it such that it only came up if you were on the ground, or very near to it. Hopefully it's the same in FH.

i think that all the times ive ever played fh ive only ever seen a basecamper maybe three times in the whole time ive played the mod
yeah its painfull when it happens but cmon people its just bf1942, it was allways just a bit of fun not a way of life
whenever i come here to catch up all i seem to read is realism this and realism that and i think it can only go so far before all that realism starts becoming boring and taking away the FUN aspect of the mod.

If it happens so seldomly, then preventing the few times that it does happen shouldn't be a problem, now should it?

This code has not "Warning, you are leaving the battle..." message, on foot you shake and loose health, and inside a vehicle it takes damage, it's all. Flying full throttle or not very slow over the area doesn't affect you. Removing parachutes would not work because punk players would land to use the exploit they love...now they are screwed

Yeah, I am sure it's very fun to act like a punk...but is only fun for you, battle of britain was not a paratrooping operation to use the enemy flaks against the british, was an aerial battle, and that will be in FH, if you prefer to be a punk you can load vanilla.

Whiner (teasin').

And I sincerely hope it only affects infantry and not vehicles.

It's as if this was a realism mod'...

Another one of "those" people.
Just as a poke on the nose to you people driving me nuts with the cliché "Gameplay>Realism" line:

Spoiler:

Gameplay>Arcadeism

What'cha gonna do 'bout dat, eh?

Realism doesn't have to be boring, and it definetly does not need to take away from the fun of the game. As a matter of fact, it often adds to it.

Anyway, it'd be a pretty useless thing if it didn't prevent vehicle basecamping. Army of bazookamen notwithstanding, which do you think is more of a threat, a lone basecamper on foot, or a rampaging King Tiger (or something smaller and faster that can still kill other tanks easily)?

You pretty much took the words right out of my mouth.
