Spawnkilling with tank is bad. I was knocked off falcon because of it.

Ditto. In retrospect, I should have let him hit me. Would have made his day.

It would have been funny if on the next bombs-eye-view, he saw that you had somehow backed up one parking spot

Can't say that I would do it, to slow of action is why.

I'm glad Zup fixed the issue a while back where a tank could sit right in front of spawning planes and blast them when they couldn't even move. Someone was doing that to my whole team in a CTC game -- he must have had over 50 kills doing that -- and I have to admit I got pretty enraged. IMHO, spawnkilling from a tank is the worst...there's simply no excuse for it. But what WTG was doing doesn't really count as that; I've often wondered whether a tank could hit the airfield from Duckwing.

I was wondering too. Usually there are two firing angles for a target:
on a rope, (low trajectory)
Or the high lob shot

Unless you are at max range, then there is only one correct angle.

From the summit edge, my first shot was with the barrel at full down, yet soared well over the North airfield. So I was left with the very high barrel shot only.

Thankyou GenJack for shooting me down but leaving me free to go goof off in my tank.

And thanks pluribus, for the challenge of a slightly moving target. Next time, I will probably still miss.
