What I considered baserape?

[Muffins]

I think that if you have a tank or an AA sitting outside the opposing forces main, and you shoot them when they leave main, its considered base rape. Sure its not technically base rape since your outside main, but it doesnt give you any chance at all to be prepared.

Its not very sportsmen like, and if thats the case where you can attack people right outside of main, you might aswell be able to shoot inside because they wont leave main if they know they are being baseraped. So they will just shoot from main, and then its shooting in main, which many servers have a rule against anyway.

Well the question is, what is considered baserape? Because I locked and shot down in kashan within 5 seconds of exiting the runway

I agree, many times i find that players decide to camp outside of main with IED's and Hats attacking armor and convoys that pass. especially on maps with little to know alternative routes, it gets difficult. It all depends on how moderators act and feel

[dtacs]

Its unsportsmanlike play and not in the true spirit of what this game is.

Most servers punish players for it, and with good reason. Any server that doesn't punish players for doing it should reconsider their ruleset.

[killonsight95]

usually i will kick someone if they attack anyone while they are in the DoD, unless they are attacked first.

However i think if you are looking at the enemy main (unless your scouting) you are looking for a kick up the arse.

[PLODDITHANLEY]

There will always be poeple who operate just outside the rule set by HATing armour leaving mains, AA too close to the takeoff area etc.

I had an unreal one recently on Qwai - a very experienced player as US was in PLA operations base with a HAT, ammo box and a clanmate as sniper. He was engaging armour directly on leaving the DOD when the flags in play were straddling the river - the truly amusing bit is that when the tank started to engage from Chinese main he complained.

No rule set can outlaw these kind of players who know the rules and DOD's so well but choose to have their fun and cheap kills like this.

Thankfully the majority of players are decent, and would rather have large scale battles. For me the response is always would you be happy if the roles were reserved? and it was you being destroyed by a HAT 5m out of the DOD?

If the answers no don't do it.

It's a problem with a lot of the maps that are too small. Kokan main base is retarded, especially since that map has a large unused area. Qwai is TERRIBLE. Especially the US main. If you're capping the flag to the north of it, they can look and fire and get fired at. Even more to the south. There's even TOW's and stationary MG's aimed at that flag and you can see people running down the slope to get to the flag. If you're Chinese, you're forced to engage them, what causes a lot of crying.

Looking to these issues would fix a lot. There is a lot of whining too though, if you get shot on the road near north village from US main on Kashan, or three grids away from the armour spawn point on Silent Eagle, that's fair game in my opinion. Just because you don't usually expect to be engaged there means that it counts as 'baserape'

Take off from back to front - problem solved.

[H.Maverick]

I'm going of-topic here, but what does DOD mean?

[Elektro]

Dome Of Death - When you leave the map or walk within a certain area.

[saXoni]

As Elektro said, take off from South to North (if you're on US on Kashan), or North to South (if you're MEC on Kashan).
I always take off this way to avoid possible "DOD-rapers". If you're afraid of bleeding out while being outside the map, I'll just let you know that you can stay out of the map for at least 3 minutes (on Kashan).

[Damian(>>>PL]

What about placing mines on way out from MEC main on mutrah

[Rudd]

imo baserape and just 'being a ****' isn't the same thing.

baserape is being a ****, but 'being a ****' isn't always baserape

mining the way out of MEC main is being a ****, but its not necessarily baserape as the apc crew just has to reverse, get an engineer kit and disarm the mines.

Taking 3 extra seconds to ensure your forward area is clear will easily defeat the dicks, if you rush you'll play in to their hands.

[chainsaw.exe]

Yeah some rules seem to be exploited. I remember playing muttrah and manning an aav. To get to the docks you have to come within view distance of fortress where some guy had set up a TOW. I think we got killed once but then we fired at him the second time and he tried reporting us for attacking fortress!

I suppose it is fair to let insurgents use dirty tactics seeing as they are vastly underpowered but bombcar-ing mains and destroying assets right from the off ain't right

[killonsight95]

bomb caring mains is being stupid.

Rudd while i agree with what you say I think that ming that enterance should only be mined once the south city flag is in play, but that is just me.

Being a **** is of course an opinion, ming a enterance is a sound tactical manourver for one and an asshat game ruining noob camping tactic. I say that 50 metersaround an enterance is a good anti basrape distance for muttrah and kokan.

9 out of 10 vehicles leave the mec main using that ramp and the driver will not see the mine because its going downhill before it is too late. So in order to safely exit the main you have to exit the vehicle every time you go down this damn ramp which is why i always go around where they rarely bother to place mines.

As for those who place the mine right around the corner after leaving the ramp..... it is a cheap trick because again the driver will not see it if he is cutting the corner.

Of-course you can always say that the driver should have looked more carefully for mines, but he is not even close to the enemy yet and therefore doesn't expect any "insurgency" methods from the USMC.
Conventional army's use mines for defense, only insurgents use them for offense
When the mec only have there main flag yet feel free to place all the mines you want though (but i guess it will be risking to much for some easy kills right?)

No matter how you put it I would consider it base-rape placing a mine right outside the dome of death of mec.

[Pirate]

Chainsaw, you can get on docks by going on land just north of the repairstation, no need to go around the beachfront at all

[CallousDisregard]

The Fort AA/TOW is mainly useful for denying the enemy that route or killing noobs.

[PLODDITHANLEY]

We've been talking about '****' tactics after baserape, and once or twice in Muttrah I've hunted down the US engineer mining the main exit - it feels silly when I should be capping or defending flags.

On a 120 (or whatever it is atm) server surely we have the amount of guys to be able to patrol around main on Kokan, to remove mines on muttrah etc etc, but this of course assumes a few guys would be up for that kind of Reality combat.

[maarit]

yep,its stupid to place mines on mainbase roads...and its semi-baserape.
dod should be just a little different like in this suggest.

[SGT.Ice]

There should really be more exits to bases. That could cut down on getting shot with AT outside your base. As for shooting in, last I checked the games based on reality. Sometimes RPGs are fired into your main by insurgents or taliban or bomb carred.
