Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

I'd say unless your team has all the cappable flags, attacking the uncap is pretty lame - even to keep jets or helos grounded. People who do that have a fear that the other pilot is better than they are, and will get owned in the skies. What's wrong with waiting 2 more seconds for a kill?

In that 2 seconds a jet took you out and while you wait to respawn the helo is on it's way to your own uncap to keep you on the ground for the rest of the game. Moral: if you have the opportunity, take it.

As a rule, there are none. It's kill or be killed. The "No spawnkilling" rule is plain stupid. If someone spawns and turns to shoot you, you can't fire back?

More times than not, when a person spawns they don't turn and fire. They get killed before they have a chance to do anything. So this is quite the reverse of what you perceive.

But what do I know, 50% of my kills are from actively hunting AFKers. L33t skillz.

There's a big difference between caps and no caps. I use a little discretion but not much. I won't hesitate to spawn rape if near an enemy base to stop the enemy from massing up but I won't spawn rape a non-cap, it's just bad sportsmanship. That is of course if all other points have been capped and the whole team is raping the bejesus out of the non-cap.

If hte server rules say don't attack uncapped base, I'll wait for the helo/jet to leave base...I'l just follow them till they are on there way.

If the server doesn't have those rules, they are far game. If they are not up in the air, that's better for my team. Makes there job of capping flags easier. I'm there flying to support them.

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

I attack the enemy in all the above cases. Once you're in a vehicle, you become a target when I'm in a jet. The same goes for AA sites. If you want to live - don't get in them.
90% of my kicks and bans are because of attacking vehicles and manned AA sites on main bases like the MEC's on Oman but I don't give a $hit. I don't even attack infantry, all I do is take out vehicles. Even shooting back at an AA site that's got you locked seems to be against the rules with some retards.

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

HA
i got banned from a company (internode) for destroying a plane that was flying past the MEC airfield on Oman. That was 2 months ago.
it seems that some admins have no clue what they're doing.
Its all in a matter of context

Once they are airbourne with enough speed to fight back, engage. Otherwise youre going for an easy kill. Dont expect praise nor respect.

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

Shoot to kill.

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

KIll him anytime you feel like it and kill all the infantry around him. Its a part of the game ya gotta get over it.

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

I always attack jets taking off even on no baserape server, how else are you supposed to kill the things if you dont like flying?

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

I've been baseraped on servers with "anti-baseraping rules" so often that I don't even think twice about attacking uncaps or people spawning in them at this point: you get in a vehicle, I don't care that it's just warming up... I'm shooting you down. Don't expect kindness from me, I sure as hell don't expect it from you. I'm jaded now...

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

okay, so basically what the majority are saying, so far, rape anyone anytime.
Fine by me

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

All the time

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

Any and all times I see an enemy, I will engage unless server rules indicate otherwise. I really try not to play in those kinds of servers because I believe that you should be able to attack any enemy spawn, non cap or not. However, I try not to go into a non-cap as infantry but if it means stealing armor/jet/helo then I'm all about it.

Re: Define baserape when engaging choppers/aircrafts

hmm, i've never really thought of kinds of "rules of engagment" if thats what you mean by these things?
