Condor, I am not sure what "advice" you got, so I think it might be good to open this up here and discuss it---just to be sure. I admire your honesty, though!
Is anyone willing to step up and define spawnkilling rules?
Well, I think someone with better writing skills than myself should attempt to explain SK'ing rules.
But, I will explain my approach.
BTB or BTC:
When I make a bomb run on a base or cxr I come in guns blazing killing women, children, the family dog, and anything else that moves. I don't care if a pilot's wheels are off the ground or not. Immediately after I drop my bombs I glance at the map to see if anyone on my team is close to base for their bomb run.
If they are, I make an immediate decision to take a few passes on the enemy base for cover. At this point I only shoot planes that have lifted off the runway. And, I will not take more than 3 passes. I do not want to risk being accused of camping or SK'ing.
If my mates are still a ways from the base I will not take any passes, but instead will try to get out of there.
If I make it out I will get close to my incoming team mates, then turn around and fly in ahead to help them on their bomb run.
CTF:
When coming in on a base I come in guns a blazing in an attempt to get the flag. However I will not make additional passes like I would as covering fire for a bomb run. I will basically dog fight it out in air at the enemy base to occupy the enemy, with the hopes of helping a team mate make it in to get the flag.
DOGFIGHT:
During this game if I happen to be at a base or cxr where enemy are re-spawning, I will only shoot planes when they are in the air.
CTC:
I never go near the enemy base.
I always play aggressive, but I always err on the conservative side.
As cheesy as this might sound, I have the WP next to my name and I don't want to bring anything negative to the Pack.
Hope this helps
