Good point, bomer. if the hangers were spread out at the respawn points it could be cool tho. More stratagy.

Cant argue about that but to first time piolets it really isnt a handicap when air commandeirs turn and kill them with ease.

To new pilots, killing them IN THE AIR helps them. I learned to be good cuz I played my first few games with Mbizzi and I was sick and tired of him blowin' me up. So instead of whining or quitting like most people do, (not people here. You're all reasonalbly dedicated to the game. ) I learned to kill him instead.

I think it is a good idea to give noobs a few tips while you spawn kill them to help them along like drop your bomb to go faster or take off sideways to runway etc because a lot of them leave after being killed several times in a row. The more skilled pilots we have playing dogfight the better the game will get, i look forward to playing a game where the teams are reasonably matched in skill across the whole team that would be awesome for strategizing . It's hard work with 5 noobs flying off in all directions and messing with tanks or shooting trees or whatever !, So kill for a few points then help them up skill so they don't leave the game for good.

Id say only spawnkill noobs for a tactical advantage, like to get a bomb thru. Wait till they're at least rank 3 to teach em how to get away from a spawnkiller.

I agree, I love pure-ace games.

Give tips on everything, not just spawnkilling.

i think the best way of limiting spawnkills, if that is desired, to make the planes immune within the runway borders..

Remember the immunity glitch? Thats what the cause of it was. Z tried to make u immune on the runway, and make newbies immune for a few seconds afterwards. Instead, we couldnt kill anything.

It was a great idea, and maybe with all the minds in Echoboom, it could work next time!

it was my first days when i saw immune planes running away from their base, didnt experience much problem with that, fixed soon..however it still seems to be the best way to activate immunity within runway, of course as long as its only on runways..

Oh yeah, if z can get it to work, its by far the best. Until then, we need something else.

How about this?
Wheels up and u are then a liable target.
This is what some IL*2 servers do.

Wheels up and u r a liable target

I don't think immunity is the answer. In real combat, airplanes are vulnerable on the runway. Perhaps spawning inside a hangar to allow time to get the engine running.

Thats whati do, corsiar. I dont shoot anyone until they can shoot back. Keeps it fairer.

Thats amgood idea, boss! Itd have t be pretty big tho, and with a wide mouth..... Maybe there are some problems. What if itmwas solid and it was only visible to people who were spawning, from the inside, and everyone else just flew thru it? It would be solid if someone was inside it, tho.

i agree with one every one give the new pilots tips when you see them tell them hello and be friendly to them. Don,t tell them that they suck. Tell them that it is amazing how good they are for being new to the game. You do that and they will want to stay and get better. Plus if we give them tips i wont get stuck in a game were i have 3 guys on my side that don't know what going on and then have 4 aces on the other team. The last game i had like that was harder than heack. I got around 55 kills befor they understood what i meant by bomb the enmys hangers and that red is the enemy and to get the tanks near our base. They were having a big free for all at our base, none of them got banned thoue because none of them could hit each other lol. Once they all got the game figured out we won it. It me so proud once the figured it out. They all got at least 5 kills and 1 of them bombed a hanger. The actuly killed enemy planes to insted of there own team.

well that did not work.

Lol

Yep I realy faild.

that absolutely right to encourage the new players..what i observe is we have 2/3 hundreds of permanent players and we shoulld work to make the community get bigger..
whatever, spawnkilling is legal for the players as it seems, but mods may not think the same way as i heard..

This is a war game ok. In a real war do they give a f*** if u are not ready for attack

The German ___(you have to EARN ace) this not JUST a war game. You are smart enough to visit us here. . Read alot and you'll see what I'm saying.

Hey Fly . Yes Ace you do need to respect the forum samething here this is not just a war game.

yeah, a war game isnt social. the best part ABOUT the game is the social aspect. you get to know your opponets, and most players get to know eachother pretty well. Watch the movie "The Red Barron". Its all about Manfred Von Richtoven's life, and lots about his ethics in the sky. he once said "We hunt airplanes, not men!", which sorta applies here. Theres no CHALLENGE in spawnkilling. it takes very little skill to just do flips and kill people on the runway, but takes plenty to kill when your enemy can fight back.

altough its not very nice to spawnkill, if people are doing it, make sure almost all are doing, then you too have to do it not to be mistreated.

Or you do what do when somthing you don't like comes on tv...change the channel. Go see if another senerio is going on.

He should just make the airport biger like real ones

Make it bigger?

Yeah, switch games, or help everyone out, and get rid of the spawnkiller. Once hes gone, dont let him get back. see if someone on your team will volunteer to stay as defense for someone that goes high, and dovebombs then starts spawnkilling.

Air strips in WWI were mostly a flat field. Next people will want a control tower, taxi stand, and a Starbucks.


Hey wait a second....coffee sounds good about now.

Lol don't forget soldiers need luxury too.

changing the game like tc channnel may not be a solution, cause u can find yourself being spawnkilled in the following game too. btw, in some games, the game goes to be locked in a tie, and spawnkilling becomes the key to unlock it
