Re: Stealing Tanks is not Base Camping!
 

"What about someone sitting their uncappable with a Priest or Wespe or the like, by some standards in this thread, he'd have no fear of distruction, as no one could go back there and destroy him. That's purely silly."

Artillery was always placed miles from the battle in a way they would never be attacked by the targeted force. They were very safe. Not silly at all. What's silly is when they get blown up.

Re: Stealing Tanks is not Base Camping!
 

Whether or nor uncap camping is logical, fair, fun, a good way to win, etc. is irrelevant really.

What is relevant is that these different philosophies are reflected in various server rules.

As a player on a server, it is your responsibility to play by their rules. If you don't, then being kicked should come as no surprise, and instead of coming here and whining about it, just go play on a server with the type of gameplay you like.

Of course, the non-basecamping player has an advantage, as he can basically play anywhere without regard for the rules, as he is unlikely to break any. :D

WTF?! Can you ent3r vehicalz!!11????1?1/!/1??!

Yes, in the middle of a game, a lot of players for some reason choose to "spawn" at a front line position under immediate attack rather than the main base, from which it'll take them several minutes to reach the battle.

I often choose to "spawn" "back home" to get a tank or, preferably, a truck (ahh, now trucks are my cup of tea:smokin: ). But oftentimes you'll see tanks sitting ready at a base because the troops are too busy elsewhere to actually put them to use. Sure, getting more Shermans or T-34s or Tigers into the fight greatly helps, but a bunch of people going absent for several minutes to get them and drive them to the action does not.

That's no reason for you to steal them, however.

Who's General Whine?

Seriously though, you are technically right, it's not basecamping, it's being a smacktard. Either way, you were looking to get kicked.

Mark down my vote for locking all enemy vehicles other than trucks and jeeps. Lets just get rid of the temptation for these smacktards altogether.

Edit: Spelling

If I had to jump in a tank just to every time I saw one just to keep it from being taken by an enemy. I'd never be regular infantry! Sector318? There be 25 tanks on a server of 20, cap'n!

Re: Stealing Tanks is not Base Camping!
 

Base camping is cool. Changing the course of the game is one of the reasons I play. I love to make the enemy cower inside the buildings of his base wondering where I am and if it is okay to come outside. Then I look up and see the enemy has no flags because he is so concerned with me. The best thing about it is how mad people get. :cya: Your cries are music to my ears. :nodding: What is lame is the same person camping for the tiger or a plane for the entire game and not letting anybody else play. You do not see any threads about that kind of camping though. If I am on a no camping server then I follow that servers rules. No rules servers are the best though.
