Last time I was playing I was killed by a tank before I even took off 15 times in a row has this happened to anyone else

Yes, its called spawnkilling and its a banable offense.

Ok I'll make sure to remember players name if it happens again

TAKE SCREEN SHOTS TO PROVE IT ...TANK SPAWNKILLING IS BANNNEDABLE

I mean, it's common sense and it hurts you otherwise. I'm talking now about letting players take off. In the past 3 days every time I log in,someone different is flying around the enemy airport and then shooting players before they take off.

Problem? Well, usually they are new people who just playing for the first or second time, after 2 minutes without any hope because usually the person doing this is a way higher rank, they leave the game and NEVER come back, writing reviews saying the game is boring.

I find myself alone on my team while this person flying is just collecting points. Obviously if they know who I am, they stop, but since I'm not always playing it's just bothers me that this person is not able to have some kind of manners towards players.

So what now? I'm forced to add an inmunity option for maybe 30 seconds after take off, or maybe just ban everyone that shoots me 2 times before i take off with a message that says "you are a jerk" or similar
you get the idea. let others have fun and you'll have fun. My idea of fun is not to login and leave myself alone on my side with no enemies playing.

So just to clarify as much as possible,

Though Zuperman does not "approve" of spawnkilling, he does seem to want to make the rules hard lines. He doesn't say "Do it once and you're out."

It is like cursing. You do it from time to time and nobody will say anything... Now go in a cursing tirade and you get banned.

From Zuperman-Kindly Clarify? :

zuperman wrote: I don't think we need to write the rules every 6 months. The idea is very simple: anything that could ruin the game for you or other players if repeated constantly is not allowed.
There is no need to repeat it for every single specific case that may arise: now you can tank on this corner of the map, is it allowed to spawn kill? Now you can jump with one leg on a building, is it allowed to spawn kill there?

To me is pretty obvious, we already said no spawn killing.

Do we really need to spell out a rule book when you know you are ruining the game for all the other team? If you know it is ruining the game, you know it is wrong. Trying to excuse it with: where are the rules? It's like pissing on the kitchen of a bar and say that there is no sign saying it's forbidden.

Grey,that's all good advice right there, if you play on a kindle, put brakes on touch screen scroll around to see where the perp is, wait till he's flown past, full throttle release brakes last moment before you crash drop bombs kill perp!!!....good luck don't let some bully spoil for you what is a great game,eat,fly,kill,repeat.

U no, I jus had this problem with an air marshal. He says its called suppression. Its even funnier cuz this person goes around saying he doesn't do it. I show respect to all pilots, even after I drop a bomb, n e one will tell u they r airborne n spread dropped theirs b4 I open fire. So from now on, I will show the same respect I'm shown..

Yup agreed people like to justify a thing they know they shouldn't be doing by calling it something else! You will have to match ur play by what's in front of you, I like to think I am a fair player but I'm no one's easy kill, if someone drops in a bombing game I do it and destroy them. You will find people interpret things in their own way , roll with it and honourable play will be an asset.
