We all can sort of agree that spawn killing is when you rack up your kills by not allowing your opponent to take off. We all can sort of agree that this is not a good thing.

We also all can sort of agree that tank spawn killing is when you park a tank on the end of a runway and rack up the kills when planes spawn into the game. We all can sort of agree that this is not a good thing.

But have you thought about the killing of a tank spawn? That's right, when your plane is shot down and you parachute safely to the ground and select the "Walk" option, a tank is spawned. If we all can sort of agree that it's bad to spawn kill and tank spawn kill then I submit to you that we should all (sort of) agree that it's bad to kill a newly spawned tank! Logical, right?

I propose that we immediately complain to Zuperman about this long forgotten spawn killing issue! Further, I believe everyone should start complaining in game when your tank is shot down before you have a chance to shoot. Maybe call the pilot a "coward" or (heck) just go ahead and curse a bit. Make sure you report him and get a screenshot. Maybe post it on the blacklist thread. Let's find out who (or is it whom...rhetorical question because I just wanted to type the word rhetorical) is the worst offender of the egregious killing of a tank spawn.

If everything goes to plan, Zuperman can add new code to add an immunity period on tank spawning. This, of course, will cause lots of other things to break and you may have to bomb inverted for a while but it's worth it, right?

I guess no matter what Zuperman does, however, it won't be enough. Soon people will be camping over the newly spawned tanks and we'll be calling them out as "tank campers".

Well, just wanted to get your thoughts on this. I guess we should also be worried about the killing of spawned soldiers, too. We'll need new code to handle this, too.

Note: This was all just in jest but done to maybe get the majority of you to calm down a bit and to have fun playing the game. We have serious issues out there (like exterminating Misfits). Please know that no tanks or soldiers were harmed in the making of this post but 10 Misfits were exterminated.

I was going to agree with you..... Until I read the fine print, I was reading alone, thinking yeah he's got a point. Then you took the wind right out of my sails. Now I'M crying.

Or maybe start a whole bunch of idiotic threads to insult the community as a whole and their comments or right to comment on certain view points. This is easy since the tanks are invisible until you enter...and I realize that this whole thread was a joke but I felt like just adding a bit of logic somewhere.

You don't like the spawn killing discussions don't read them.
You think people complain too much don't listen or read what they say.

The spawn killing has both view points because some want to win no matter what and I can repect that. The other side is new people who are spawn killed leave. Without new players there is no money with no money there is no dogfight. Do you follow that?

P.S. Everyone knows tank spawn killing is wrong by all...oh sorry all but one apparently.

and if you zoom very closely (+++++++) squad tag disappears and there are mysterious lines and symbols drawn in white.

I know this thread was a joke but since you brought it up, i think its only fair to point out that in my experience, the closer i am to the target area, the progressively more difficult it is for me to reach the ground in my chute, let alone get in my tank and do anything tactical with it. Personally, i dont get mad at being bombed or shot as i enter my tank. If anything it tells me that the pilot who killed me is paying attention and that makes things much more interesting indeed

I think it's a hoot to shoot the flying tanks!

It's like shooting skeet.

PULL!
