I was in a protect the zepp game withe me and luna against wig/jimmy the lip

the zep was close to the red base, at this point I killed wig and then proceeded to spawnkill him twice,

this inflamed him a bit

but my reason for it is this

in this round, once the zepp is close to the base

the red plane can start firing from the runway and possibly destruct the zepp

I have allways had to tolerate spwankilling at this point and have been at the receiving end many many times

Ah, yes, I remember that.

I hope he wasn't too mad. It seemed the entire game he was a bit ticked off because he couldn't get any kills/he kept getting shot down (he said it was because of lag).

When the zep gets close to the enemy base, the enemies have an advantage:

-Since the zep is close to the base, they can start attacking right when they take off. Corollary, the offensive team would have to fly across the map to get back in the battle, which makes plenty of time for them to attack the zep in their absence.

I'm not one for spawnkilling, unless it is necessary. And in this case, as I hope you can see, it is necessary. Nevertheless, I still try to keep it under moderation. I only killed one plane on the runway on that game.

I hope you're not mad at us, Wig.

I totally agree with that. If there's any game situation that justifies (hey it practically requires) spawnkilling, it's zeppelin when near the end.

In other games, I'm somewhat cognizant of my kill ratio, and I get on myself if I am getting pummeled (sort of a wake up call, c'mon get with it!). But in zepp, it's all about getting the engines, covering your teammates, and getting shots laid in. A good game results in a win, lots of points from shooting the zepp, and probably getting shot down a bunch of times while doing that!

I have only played with Luna and Blain 1 time.I was right on Luna's tail when she left the game and i didnt notice blain was right behind me and shot my spad down.I always try to be on the German side in zeppelin game because of that advantage.

I don't know how you guys can remember details from games so long ago. I barely remember games from last week.

There's always someone who's like: "LUNA!!" in game, and I don't even remember who they are. It kinda makes me look stupid.

You should be ok. I do it when the zep gets close to there base as well. I do take in consideration on how damaged the zep is and if the engines are still there before i do so. If they zep is hardly damaged i will let them take off but if the zep has a quite a bit of damage to it don't expect to get airborne

hhaha i know exactly how you feel
like awesome dude said hi and i was like what?
turns out he was someone i met a month ago

I just saw someone i have not seen in a month or so in a game.It was coolhandluke.It was a good game.WAMP was on the other side and another good ace was on my side.

I do it, well i spawn kill everywhere except dogdight missions. They are too small to have easy kills from spawn killing.

Ahem...
I will take an unpopular side to this.
(let's assume spawnkilling is wrong, because, well, it is)
I will never spawnkill, ever.
If you have made it to the point where the zeppelin can be destroyed while it is near the airfield, that is the result of flying by the escorts, and the opposing team should not be penalized.
Any other situations I can explain upon request, why not to spawnkill.
That is all.

Well, let's look at it from a realistic standpoint:

Let's say your team and zep were approaching the enemy base, and a fireteam of enemy pilots were about to take off. Would you be like: "Eh, let em take off, we've been kicking their butts anyways. Besides, the zeppelin can take a few shots."

Probably not.

But of course, this is a game. And every player/match is different, and should be treated with a case-by-case basis.

im afraid i have to disagree
thats what i always do in a zep game. if we are winning i tell my tem to hold your fire till they take off.
3 to 4 minutes later there back at the run way

That's exactly what I'd say

I dont really care about any type of spawn killing tank or plane. Its a game. It is cowardly but its still a game.

I remember one of my first five battlrs, I was a tank in a btb game, got scared, shot 4rounds directly upwards while at mt base, lost the game and got banned for 5 minutes and didn't catch the five min thing, do I created a second account I now use to.get an idea of how many people play the game, search mccrae in the ranking, it's not the lowest thing but you know, lol

Ikr
Some peoria enter the game and are just like
"VORTEX!!!!!!!!"
And I respond one of two ways
A. I say "hey"
B. I say "Vortex is my grandfather. Don't you dare call me that again."

I personally don't consider flying a circuit around the enemy base and nailing airplanes on the ground or as they are taking off spawnkilling. Many top players including Watup did and continue to do this regularly. I don't consider this spawnkilling as there are ways to protect yourself. I never get killed multiple times when someone tries to do this to me and I can usually take off and turn the tables on them. I do consider parking your tank and shooting airplanes as they spawn, spawnkilling as there
is nothing you can do to protect yourself. When airplanes do this there are several ways to take off without getting shot.

Thank you so much cloud thats exactly how i look at it. There are ways to not get killed use them. And evryone did it. Eventually watup stopped spawn killing when he became a rank 31 though. But all the top players except B Strachan and dent do it.

Ya'll are correct!!!....i had to learn how to take off when planes tried spawnkilling me. I never got mad really...the tanks are another thing though.....i still get tank spawnkilled by top players and somtimes new players....
I usually like to let the enemy get off the runway about a half an inch...lol....but in a zep, btc, and bth games, i believe its fair to shoot them on the runway to help our points err i mean the team..lol

I'm with Luna on this coming from a military background never give your opposition the chance to take you out when there down keep them down... The good pilots will find away to fly rules of engagement. But from a MOM standpoint it is against our code so there for I do not do it let the wheels leave the ground then kill kind of grey area.

Well, like I had said, a case-by-case basis.

In your case, yes, it may have been wrong. But, if you ask me, all those players are very skilled, and you wouldn't have been flying for long anyways.

If there was a problem, you should have told them. They are all sensible people, and wouldn't ignore you.

Also, protip: When on the runway, press your brakes. Bullets won't hurt you. (I can't say the same for bombs and tank shells)

I think it's fair. At the beginning, you start in position to defend the zep, but it takes a long time to attack it. At the end, it's reversed. I think it evens out without spawnkilling. In general, my policy is; If I'm not good enough to do it without spawnkilling, I don't deserve to do it.

WELL I USUALLY DONT LOSE MY COOL "BUT I LET YOU TAKE OFF BFORE I KILLED YOU " THERFORE IT WAS NOT SPAWNKILLING I PLAY THIS GAME FAIR AND AM FRIENDLY TO ALL ACCEPT NOW!!! IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE KILLED PLAY A DIFFERANT GAME!!! IT'S PART OF THE GAME FAIR OR NOT !!!IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN TO YOU ,ME AND EVEYONE ELSE THE DIFFERANCE IS WE DONT CRY ABOUT IT!!!HELL IVE BEEN SPAWNKILLED SO MANY TIMES IN ONE GAME IT WAS ACTUALLY FUNNY.SO BUCK UP LITTLE TROOPER AND HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!SORRY IF I BLEW UP ON YOU IM REALLY A NICE GUY... ASK ANYONE!!!!

on another note if tanks get to your base and spawn kill you then shame on you if you cant kill them in time and the get there well while it does suck and sometimes funny as hell " i to have been on the reciving end of this" you gotta just take your licks because its your teams fault they are there...lol

Thanks bomer. I remember when I first started people like you green freedom and others would spawnkill me relentlessly. I used to laugh so hard was fun. I eventually learned how to take off then I eventually learned how to set up my controls and how to work the throttle and eventually shot some of you guy's down. I never complained about spawnkilling. It got to the point some of them would ask me if it was ok or tell the other's to stop...I'd say keep goin so I could figure this out. Those were some of my best game's.. laughed so hard.
So everyone know's these guy's only spawn killed me from planes not tanks..

Shot some down, u shot all of those people down. U have gotton so good. Thats how i got better too, just diff people spawn killed me. Like the entire WUDF family and mbizzi.
