I pose a question.
Forgetting df missions,glitches on boats and on the 'other side of the mountain'.(I don't see any of these glitches!)

If you are in a btb mission and get shot down and then tank,then by some great fortune make it in your little tank to the enemy base,then see a plane spawn in front of you that is imminently going to kill you do you:

A:just sit there and die

B:take it out

Just wondering.

Wait till its off the ground then shoot plane.that's not spawnkilling with tank. that's my understanding that don't mean I'm correct... but I think your not suppose to be around runway and repeatingly shooting planes with tank

if you are at the base usually it's easy to avoid a plane that is taking off, they can't turn fast, you can duck behind buildings (or enter a hangar to force them to have to bomb their own to get you).

If you shot the one, once it was airborne I would be ok with that, but if you sat there and waited for it to get airborne again... then you are tank spawn killing in view.

I've spawned into games several times in the last few weeks to find very high rank players from numerous large squads taking me out in btb games with a tank,having been allowed to drive right in there!Im never that lucky but have always thought that if they are allowed to get there,it is right to defend themselves!Ive smiled,thought well done you and taken it.Personally I think in that instance it is the only tactic available to defend yourself-but only in the circumstances mentioned above.

Hi BTS its a great question I would take the shot to gain an advantage to hit a hanger .
My question to you and anyone is do you hold your fire when capturing a flag ?

Just so it's clear I'm not talking about sitting and spawn killing and I don't think it's what you are asking .
I have also been in game with players of high rank have been using tanks that way only to complain about the practice in the next game when it happens to them !

Billy your question is valid and been asked .as.long as your going for the flag and not sitting there shooting planes in ctf all.is good .

As for tankers in brb once your in there it's pretty easy to avoid a plane taking off .like was said you can use the buildings for cover .personally I wouldn't wait for them.to just take off and shoot them as they just get in the air.(but that's me).you can get some nice plane shots as they circle back for you I use the cover provided by the buildings.but if your shooting at planes your not getting hangers .
