here's the way i see it... base raping is fine on one condition...
the "raper" isn't in a vehicle... kit weapons only.. give the other side a chance to fight back...
yes, yes in real life the US rape the fck out of everyone else, but this is a GAME. imagine if say, Iraq, relentlessly bombed the crap out of the Forward Ops Base of the US? You don't think that the US would go crying to Geneva?
Anyway, my point is this, if you enjoy base raping in a vehicle, fine. Just stay on singleplayer.
This wasn't really relevant to the thread, but it just came to me from my memory while I was reading the posts. I had to revisit it using a random quote. I apologize for confusing the audience. And sorry, I don't have her cell anymore.

Pity. I was liking the idea of 'bombing her carrier', or sending the 'havok to her TV station'.

Yeah, I have to admit that it was a fun map to play. And I liked the "base rape allowed rule" also. Too bad that shortly after the "6 rounds per night" month, she banned me from her server under the excuse "tired of the same noobtoob all the time".
Yes, base raping is perfectly legal, and yes, it is relatively avoidable (though not always). Base raping is overall a perfectly legitimate strategy to quell foe and keep him well pinned down. Despite all this, base raping is simply unsportsman-like. Now, I know what some of you might say, "This is war!", or maybe, "Just defend yourself or cap. a flag!".
To the first one, no, it isn't. It's a game, and games are supposed to be fun. Base raping, almost by definition, is not fun. Getting seriously owned every five or so seconds isn't exactly enjoyable. Hell, its not even fun for the attackers. What fun is pounding a helpless enemy into the ground while hardly even facing them? Unless all you care about is stats, then this isn't exactly considered "fun."
To the second point, you cannot always do this. If you've ever hopped into an AA turret against a jet, you know that, unless you're up against a bad pilot, you're getting your ass blown to hell, even on the carrier's AA. Even ground troops are hard as hell to fend off if they get a foothold in your base. Also, as for capping a flag, that's not always as easy as it sounds. For example, on Wake, with an experienced pilot in the air, you cannot drive a boat all the way to the island without getting blown up, much less anything on the carrier.
So I conclude that, although legal, base raping should be frowned upon.
People need to quit crying, and learn to defend themselves!!!
agreed, only problem is that aa doesnt work on j10 if they hard turn, otherwise its entirly legit

I don;t have problems with base rapping.... only when people rape uncappables. when other flags are available.
the problem here is the issue of support, when they are attacking the uncapturable instead of supporting the team, the team suffers, but if the team isnt getting destroyed from the air, there is no reason not to attack the uncapturable

I think the problem is with baseraping is say when somebody sits at a spawn purposly aiming their gun where you will soon to be.
this isnt base rape this is spawn camping
