    Question on sniping

    Not sure if this the place to ask or not but tired of looking,

    Question is. Is sniping base camping or not i been playing on your server for over 1 week sniping, no one said anything until today that is was camping. Just trying to figure out is it or not.

    Yep, sniping a base is "camping" it. Now whether or not that's ok depends on the situation. "Uncappable" bases shouldn't be spawn camped unless all other flags are gone.

    Exceptions are Medina and Bunkers. Those two maps have different rulesets than normal conquest maps.

    Attacking the interior (and airstrip) of an uncappable base with a plane is also "spawn camping"

    Hey DBOL, Glad to see you made it to the forums.. Its been a pleasure playing with you. Your a very good adversary!..

    Sniping spawn camps is considered camping along with bringing in a tank to opponents spawn! Those are big no no's for the AK server... If you hold all flags then it is allowed till you loose a flag!... As I understand it planes attacking vehicles is allowed at spawns as a strategy to keep the team from becoming mobile! This has been a topic I have brought up before and is generally allowed. If I’m wrong then this is something we need to make public so others are aware!

    I’m glad to see you asking to make sure though. It shows you really enjoy playing on the server and like I said it has been a great pleasure playing with you!

    To clarify the plane thing, you can't use a plane or a copter to hit them *in* their base. You can wait outside the base a reasonable distance and hit them as they exit. A good example would be Gazala. From the allied base there's that long road up a hill to the first flag on the right. Camping that road would be ok. Hovering over the repair pad in the middle of their base would not.

    This is a new clarification that we discussed last night. Many of us were not clear on it either.

    DBOL - a clarification on our "camping rules" is forthcoming. We're discussing it in the private forum. Stay tuned.

    Ok, clarification time. Sniping - OK at any time. Same for air attacks. Same for artillery.

    Illegal Camping examples - manning a tank in a base, running around on foot
    shooting, running around laying mines in a base.

    Fire from outside or above a base (in the air) is ok.
