It may be interesting and fun to find ways to kill other players before they get airborne, and it may boost your score if you are successful. To the other players it is a nuisance, and at times it may destroy the gameplay almost completely. This topic is intended for exploring the spawnkilling phenomenon, and to look at possible ways to counter it.

In the "bomb the carrier" game, if the other players are busy elsewhere, it may be possible to land on the enemy carrier and tax to a place right aft of the superstructure and point the aircraft at the spot where the planes appear. If you park close enough, your guns will bear, and you can shoot the other players as soon as they appear. Immunity ought to prevent this, but often the method seems to work anyway.

how i counter spawn killing is wait for them to fly over in front over the top of me then i take off drop bomb and kill them for this to work you got to be good in a turning dogfight becuse the guy will be back on your tail once your up so you got to act quick.

When there's a spawnkilling tank in the brick building, i turn as sharply as possible to the right, which often results in a wild, uncontrolable spin, which I'm sure you have all experienced, especially when taking off from a carrier. The uncontrollable spin makes it hard for a lower grade tank spawnkiller to be effective. After that, there are a lot of ways i can kill the tank, which I'll keep to myself. If youget a tank, and climb the highest mountain in the top right of the map, on the very top peak, you can fire down on the base and spawnkill, or take the hangers. I did that yesterday, only for a few kills. I can't figure out anyway that that could be countered, at least with good aim. I had been chased ALL THE WAY UP THE FREAKING MOUNTAIN bysome idiot in another tank. After a few kills, i went to go kill him, and he got a lucky shot on me. Other than an idiot doing that, a plane that was already up when you started would be the only way to kill the tank. I also learned that by rolling down the mountain, you can easily avoid that, too.

Spawnkilling is a certain way to scare off newcomers. I was in a "bomb carrier" game today with B. Strachan and some others. There were numbers of newbies, but since noone shot them off at take off, they kept coming and circled happily around for a while before they were shot down. To be downed repeatedly at take off is a sure way to have your interest for the game killed.

Scare off?

Back when I started playing, it would enrage me hahahahah. So in order to get my revenge, I learned to be good.

That's the spirit!

Same thing hear slender I hate spawn killers but o well iv done it plenty of times to so I can't realy be talking I just make sure the guy gets in the air and can controll his plane turn all that good stuff then I kill them or I try to do that but I don't do that all the time some times I just kill them when they move it all depends on my mood.

Yeah, I give 10-20 seconds of flight for anyone below the third rank before opening fire.

I'll admit sometimes I do this but its not to get my points up its to hold off the enemy if no everyone else is back at base and I'm waiting for them, but I personally don't like it when people do what slenderman said he does, wait 10-20 seconds, to me because I feel like if I kill them after they let me take off its not a fair kill, if you can kill me do it or else I feel like I'm being let off easy and its not as fun (I guess its me being prideful), so I didn't realise other people thought it was 'wrong' to spawn kill so, sorry

Let off easy? It takes a good 3 rankings to get familiar with the game. Don't want to scare any new players away, hahahah.

20 seconds? Wow if I you give wat up or mbizzi twoseconds off the ground, youve been dead for three! Then again, aspirants can't exactly do what they can. I always give people enough time to get off the ground and start shooting at mw, if they're low level, I hold my fire and kill them point blank to save bullets lol. But yeah, I give everyone a second or two to get upright and start shooting before they meet my bullets, and then, the ground.

Lol slenderman that's why I said me personally, I'm not saying everyone feels like that

Yep just let the new guys off easy but the guys that can Handel them selvs I'm sorry to say I'm just going to kill you.

I don't mind at all if I get killed when I'm able t shoot, just don't kill me before I start shooting. Trust me, if your close enough to spawnkill me, I'm goin up guns blazing. I don't really care if I've started to shoot yet, even. If I'm being dumb and don't come up shooting, punish me. Just don't kill me before I have a chance to ger a bullet out. That's the only death that makes me mad.

That is true that's what made me mad I'm by myself against foo whitesnow and hrhk and others LOL after they got me down and shot me a couple times before I even hit the throtle up LOL but I did make it up and held my own LOL.

When I spawn kill.......I don't kill rookies of the game just the guys that no what's going on. I don't spawn kill a lot, I do it to hold the enemy at bay or to boost my kills a little. But I would never spawn kill a luetenant, aspirant, or luetenant commander.

I'm sorry if I've offended any of y'all, cheers

Green freedom

I like spawn killing..I'll always keep doing that

LOL......chan, you crack me up, man

The Problem has been fixed with spawn killing rank 4 and below are immune from it
