Is it "moral" to base rape carrier in a jet?

It's a cheap shot and everyone knows it.

Personaly I prefer to win in a fair fight. Anything else is a hollow victory at best. I know BF2 ain't exactly a realistic game but I think anything that is ridiculously unrealistic is a cheap shot (like bunny hopping). Attacking the carrier is one of those things. In real life an airplane could probably not get within 20km of a US carrier before being shot down.

In reality you would not be able to attack modern carriers with jets. They are surrounded by frigates ready to protect the mother carrier by all means necessary. They will create some kind of "full auto cannon fire hull" around the carrier.
That's why today the only real threat for combat carriers are subs, not jets or other air assets.

Thanks for your totally useless input. The guy already admitted 'moral' was probably the wrong word to use.

Re: Is it "moral" to base rape carrier in a jet?

No one ever listens to this idea but I'll state it again anyway:

It's quite acceptable to attack an uncappable spawn as long as the team can spawn somewhere else. When said spawn is the only CP left, the advantaged team (in the name of a good, fun game) should take a defensive posture.

Yes, many of you think that if a team has been beaten back to their uncappable spawn they deserve to be spawn camped, but that's just a lame excuse to try and improve your abysmal K/D with some easy kills. If you want a game with maximum fun and competition, abide by the bold text above.

Incidentally, if you're being spawn camped and you can spawn elsewhere, but you choose to keep spawning at the camped uncappable CP, it's your own fault. The only time I'll symptathize with you is when you have nowhere else to go - only then does DICE's shortsighted spawn logic come into play.

Lastly, the carrier has two defense turrets for a reason.

Re: Is it "moral" to base rape carrier in a jet?

Maybe moral isnt the right word...More like honorable and no I dont think it is honorable or even sportsman like...Yes you can have honor in a video game and sportsmanship...Pretty sure anytime humans are interacting with humans regardless of how they are interacting things like Morals, Honor, Pride, and Sportsmanship are present....Problem is a lot of players are to young to give a **** about any of these....and I'm sure they will be the ones flaming me...

Now this all goes out the window when there is no more capable flags....

IMO, attacking the carrier is a valid strategy and a fair fight despite what the TK'ing plane and chopper whrse whine about. The Essex AA guns are a suitable defence that can make the pilot at least cautious about attacking the carrier. If you're lucky/good they'll stop coming out to the carrier unless they shoot down one of your jets and want the 'easy second kill'.
If I don't get a jet or Cobra at the start then I make for the open AA station. It doesn't take long before I get a missile lock tone and, unless he's good, the steady tone in the cockpit and the damage from the gun during his attack will make him panic enough to miss his mark. If he is good, then you're keeping him focused on the AA placement and not your teammates on deck or on shore. The gun does a lot of damage and even if you end up being the only one respawning he will be limping back for repairs with a nice smoke trail for your jets to follow.

couldnt have said it better my self... what fun is it if only two people in the jest can have the fun base raping if eveyr one else is sitting onland plus is pretty gay if you ask me... just htink about whta you are doing and if you happened to be on the recieveing end. in the end every one just wants to play the game and get a piece of the action and by doing this you are runing the gameplay to some degree even tho your stats are getting pretty good

Rape or be raped that is the option...

Its a game people, do what you want to do as long as its not teamkilling, or exploiting....or statpadding...

Re: Is it "moral" to base rape carrier in a jet?

The people on the carrier have no where to run, no cover, and little defense against the jet.

I voted no.

Ever heard of "below deck?" It's nice and sheltered. Oh look! Theres even nifty little boats you can use to GET THE F*CK OUT!

Re: Is it "moral" to base rape carrier in a jet?

Thank you.
I am really sick of people complaining about being "baseraped" when they have other flags to spawn.
It is in my opinion not acceptable to pound the uncappable base if they have no where else to spawn.
If Dice intended the game to be played without attacking main bases, then why would they put commander assets on the home base, and make two spawn points on the carrier. One which is very well concealed from air attacks, and artillery.

It's quite acceptable to attack an uncappable spawn as long as the team can spawn somewhere else.

that actually reminds me of base camping the hotel flag on karkand. mec can spawn somewhere else other than hotel when US is camping there in tanks and APC's.

do u guys think it's acceptable for US to base rape at hotel CP? i've heard alot of complaints about it, so i guess most will say no?
