Well i wouldent say theres no such thing as Vehicle whoring, if you stand around waiting for one is what id consider a "Vehicle Whore" but if its there not being used then youd be stupid not to use it?

Do you call it whoring to wait for a Tank/APC to spawn? If you want the tank you have to wait for it to spawn nothing wrong with that.

And tank/APC whoring is when you are spawncamping with it.  And if you rack up kills with it anyway it's not whorng you are just good with it. I mean you can blow up tanks easily with C4 or well placed AT rockets.
The BH issue is total different because it's so extremly powerfull and it's very hard to kill it if there's engineers in it.

As much as i hate to point this out.. its not very hard to be good in a tank.
Being good on foot is something to talk about.. being good in a tank, and continually sitting in one (ok, get your medals etc, but don't do nothing but use a tank!) would be called tank whoring... its not about how good you are or are not in it, you get your time, and you use it then when you need it.. not because you are good in it.. the aim is to improve on all areas of your game.. which means on foot too.. *shrug*
you can be a fucking god in a tank, but if you suck on foot then you aren't gonna be useful after your tank gets C4'd are you? unless you sit around at base waiting for it to respawn so you can have it again.. which is tank whoring.. because you aren't actively helping your team. Rather than standing around waiting for it to come back so you can repeat the process, you could be on foot helping team members.

Tank Whores are the people who use CS tactics.. and by that i mean.. They don't care about the team status.

9/10 C4 peeps will race to the rear of a sitting tank, especially if your turret is facing forward... by hitting the 'c' key while waiting, you get an 'all around veiw'. I would think most C4 people know this, so it's a case of taking a chance, but if they do creep up on you to plant it, a quick reverse will put an end to their little plan.
If however, they attack the side, it's better to leap out and take your chances on foot. Many times I've done that, follwed him and gunned him down... although, many times I've done that and been blown to bits.

If you see me in a tank and my turret is facing forward, it's a rouse, it's an encouragement, come along and do your stuff.... I'm watching you

As for maps, any maps, anywhere any time.... good luck squishing

You basterd! Dont give out our main secret !!

Ah crap, sorry Sgt', I thought no one else would read my post ... They don't usually

Just for a laugh, I did it again 3 times today, and some of these players are MS and above... you gotta love em ... anyway, from now on, no more secrets

Ok wrong nick i hope this time my stats show up so i am not mistaken by the noobs i talked about X_X.

Peace

Ok by request of many families here it is :_).

Take a good look .

The only problem I have with Tanks and APC's are the n00bs that stand by a spawn point and rape everyone who spawns there. They just sit there and spawn kill.

The people that use the vehicles and get out every once in awhile, I'm cool with because they're fair and playing the game. They're using vehicles just the same as you can use them.

But if you sit there in your APC and be a whore by spawn killing people will start kick votes against you. I hate those people. I've seen a few people get Kicked and Banned for that stuff.

Duskwolf you cry baby .

If you taked the time to write my name and see my stats you would see that i use all type of weapons and vehicles and the only noob here is you .

Let's just get one thing straight i don't base rape but i don't moan about it and start vote kicking i just blow the shit out of people who get in my way base raper or turists whatever.

I don't see in the cape of bf2 dvd any min requesits that say, no base raping, no vehicle using, and don't be too good because the noobs will start crying like baby's.

If you wanna start a war Dusky bring it on find me in a server and join it i'll be waiting for you, cry baby .

Peace

Brilliant

Now can you pop over to the thread 'Tank whores' and do your stuff in there. I think I've reached my limit and there's a guy in there that has serious problems with those that drive tanks.

Ok... First of all you say ppl should use vehicles as they like but then you put a timer on it.
It's like saying to someone you can smoke all you like but only when you say it because you're around.

Second if you go after a tank with a m203 gg for you cause i was talking about the
anti-tank rocket not the m16 grenade launcher.

Third you got all my stats wrong

Israfael wrote:

But anyway, Take please do not go around calling ppl n00bs and claiming that
you use all types of weapons when you have just 403 more TOTAL KIT KILLS than tank kills alone.
Real diverse

So i'll get it right for you:
- 4910 tank kills
- 21483 total kills

Get your facts straight man before you start trowing shit at people and for your
information i got 5307 total kills by infantry weapons that alone cover the tank kills.

PEACE

Yes, let's get facts straight.  You don't call people n00b:

Now that that is out of the way, lets go on to your other miscomprehentions.  If you actually read what I said that was a comparison between the grenade launcher and the tank NOT the grenade launcher and what it can do AGAINST a tank.  And, yes I did have a typo.  I said total kit kills where I meant to say tank kills.  And yes that covers the tank kills ONLY.  The 17467 vehicle kill/ 5307 total kit kill is correct.  Now, the timer.  As I stressed, it is your game and you can play it as you want.  You can have 1% of your total hours on solid ground if you like and I'm not going to stop you.  I just think, due to the massive benefit that tanks give a team they should have much longer spawn times than they have now.  That would actually make killing a tank worthwhile as it would be gone for several minutes instead of the 45 or so seconds they are gone now.  Requiring smarter play from tank commanders and most likely stopping a lot of the tank users with higher k:d ratios from constantly using them, it wouldn't be worth it unless they tightened up their game.  As for me "throwing shit" at people, as you say, I'm not really sure what you are referring to.  I tried to make a constructive post for things I would like to see, yes I pointed out you are coming up on having more tank kills than total kit kills but if you consider me referencing your stats as "throwing shit" then I'm not sure what to tell you.  But ya, go ahead and call me a cry baby again, that always works.

Even though the reload time is a good 5-6 seconds long on a grenade launcher and usually theres someone right around the corner ready to blow your ass away?  I used to use grenade launchers frequently on city maps and my god did people bitch.  It actually takes a bit of practice to learn how to hit things at distances with it and can be very effective if used right.  I just don't see how you could even justify an assault guy who will probably get about 4-5 kills on average before he dies to a tank whore who spins around karkand doing circles killing 10-15 people before someone finally gets c4 on his ass or he's hit with enough anti-tank missiles, which nobody plays on that map hardly btw.  That first flag has no TOW missiles except on the USMC side and when you have both the tank and apc rolling in, the one tank that MEC gets doesn't really stand much of a chance.  Besides, whoring doesn't come from doing it a couple rounds then hoofing it the next few.  Its when all you play is armor to rack up your points.  Me personally, I much would rather play infantry.  I feel a little more accomplished when I pick some fool sniper off with my g36c or finally nail that tank whore with my c4.  Using tanks, which I do every once in awhile, feels so cheap on karkand.  Anyways, I'm done ranting.

Well so if this game isn't suposed to simulate war what are we doing shooting each other?

Ok one thing i think would be good was said by Israfael, destroying vehicles with
infantry should give and extra point cause it's always harder to kill one.

I just don't like the way you guys talk about tankers and other vehicle lover people,
a guy as a good K/D with one vehicle and you post here stats and say vehicle whore,
for crist sake they are ppl you never seen them play.

Has anyone in here ever seen me play?

Of course i use vehicles i spawn in one round i look around and get the first free vehicle,
ok i like more the chopper then the plane, tank and so on but if and i don't see a vehicle
or i'm in the mood for some infantry fight i take my assault weapon and go kill some ppl.

But i'm not agaist ppl that use same vehicle 24/7, when the game first came out i only
played with attack choppers i really love them and i knew that if i didn't take the chopper
many times a bad pilot would and that could be the diference betwen winning or losing that
round, yes i like winning but i don't moan when i loose i'm not saying you guys do but i
just try to improve.

Yesterday i was in a ranked server with a friend, i was anti-tank and he was special forces
enemy only had 2flags in "she fu pass" and me and him where defending a flag, without
exagerating half the oposite team where coming at us, i'm talking about hellis, tank, apc,
anti-air armor and planes and we for at least for 5min holded the flag died some times but
killed much more with only a supply crate as support.
As result i ended round with like 100 points.

I think things are very balanced and yes bf2 is supposed to simulate 100% war is supposed
to be fun too a little arcade but if you made tanks as weak as infantry like 1rocket 1tank
blowned i think it wouldn't work.

When i read ppl saying how many strikes he needs with a m203 to kill a tank i can see where
the problem is with no offense.

I'm gonna be real honest here i think that most guys that complain not all about vehicles have
some of this things in commom.

They don't know how to decently fly choppers and planes, they don't play in close teamwork
with squads and most of cases they are medium-bellow average players.

I'm not saying i'm a great player if someone tells that it's not my words.

You just got to love tanks in bf2, first tank game i played was Wargasm it ad also other vehicles
like bf2 it was much fun and since that i haven't seen a game where it is so much fun driving tanks,
same as choopers and almost planes, driving vehicles in bf2 is the must have of the game and
i understand when some players don't want to break appart froom them and i consider them my
best friend and worst enemy because of the expert habilities they adquire.

Look if you guys think it's so easy to kill with tanks and hellis just try it when you have another
good tanker and helli in the opposition it takes skill to fire a tank shell 150mt away to another
tank, it takes skill to take out another chopper 400mt away with rocket guided tv i am not the
gunner on chopper but i have much respect for my clanmate gunner.

I spend most time in servers being called a whore, noob, hacker and even yesterday some guy
said my clan [PTCT] had a really good script and you now what i do, this ---> .

PEACE

I don't think people are necessarilry complaining about the use of certain vehicles but the way they go about getting them. They TEAMKILL, they do whatever it takes to acquire them. I've seen people waiting for a Tank or say a Chopper and a Squad will come up and Teamkill them or even shot up the vehicle. Thats what people are tired of. If these Tank Whores get the Tanks fairly then fine but to do it unfairly then they are all #*#)(*(#!! ITs that simple.

odessaman

I think 'some' people are missing the point of my post, point is.. people complain too much about ONE person using a tank or apc to obtain a normal goal in the game... IE.. Armor Combat Medal yes.. i may have 4000 armor kills, ... untill i have 10,000 and my medal.. im gonna use them.. to get the medal.. everyone tries to work towards a certain medal. people should relize that.. if they don't like it don't play.
