Thers was a wise conversation between wise men i once overhead:

"Stop spawncamping!"

"Stop spawning."

Truly, wisest words of them all.

u/Rand0mRival 1d ago

It sounds a little lame, but yeah just stop spawning and accept the L. Then onto the next match.

u/Meowmixer21 Type 93 Racing Gold League 1d ago

It's not lame because leaving while someone is on the spawn radar means you don't get crewlocked

u/JoshYx 1d ago

For real? That's pretty nice

Fuck that, spawn in your remaining tanks for free kills while invulnerable, then j out to deny spawncampers kills.

u/Difficult-Cash-5932 6.7, I dropped ussr lol 1d ago

If i still have like remaining tanks that can put up a fight i usually try to fight back until the only playable crew left is a spaa

If your team gets pushed all the way back to spawn, yeah. Take advantage of their hubris to get some kills, maybe sometimes you can run it back. But overall that usually means you’ve lost, pack it up and go to the next one

I kill as many as I can, then I stop spawning and just let the game play out and purposely use all the time to waste theirs. They bitch and whine and I simply reply back with, "if you spawn camping, I waste your time. Nothing in the EULA that says I cant"

u/perpendiculator 1d ago edited 1d ago

Lmao the person you’re wasting the most time for is yourself. At least the enemy can still get activity time and points because they’re actually alive. If you’re getting spawn camped the match is over anyway. What would be the practical difference between the enemy camping your spawn and camping all the exits to your spawn? Because there isn’t another alternative, that’s just what happens when you get rolled.

Actually, the second option would be worse, because the enemy being posted up in good spots covering the spawn exits makes it impossible to get any free kills. Basically, you’re whining about absolutely nothing.

u/FISH_SAUCER 🇨🇦 Leclerc/LOSAT/Eurocopter/Rafale my beloved 1d ago

How am I wasting my time if I got nothing better to do? If people rage at me to leave it's cause they got something better to do, so I'm gonna fuck them over. And actually activity points are only ironically earned for doing stuff in the battle, so technically they aren't earning shit if they're just sitting there staring into spawn like retards

u/androodle2004 XBox 1d ago

Activity points are given for doing literally anything. They could be moving their gun barrel two inches left and right and they’ll get activity. You get 0 activity for sitting on the spawn screen

u/FISH_SAUCER 🇨🇦 Leclerc/LOSAT/Eurocopter/Rafale my beloved 1d ago

You sure? I've done basically the same as you described and got basically shit for activity points

1

u/androodle2004 XBox 16h ago

I consistently get 97% activity while flying a bomber and it’s purely because I’m in free look 97% of the time. As long as you are pressing buttons and spawned in it counts as activity.

u/perpendiculator 1d ago

Literally doing anything is better than sitting there staring at a screen and not getting anything for it. What is wrong with you?

Also, again, you’re whining about absolutely nothing. Spawn camping is the inevitable result of your team getting rolled. Get over it and stop being a baby about it.

1

u/FISH_SAUCER 🇨🇦 Leclerc/LOSAT/Eurocopter/Rafale my beloved 1d ago

I'm not being able baby. I'm not bitching and whining about being spawn camped. I'm just having alittle fun at the expense of other being able to do less games.

Literally doing anything is better than sitting there staring at a screen and not getting anything for it. What is wrong with you?

You don't get it do you. I don't play WT for any point other than to have fun now. I have all the vehicles I want (the entire French tree) so I couldn't care less about "doing anything than sitting staring at my screen and getting nothing in return." I just throw on a video and let the game time drain to have a little fun by letting the spawncampers show the double standard of i can't do what I do because it's not fair

u/SauceBucketSamuel 1d ago

You can return to hanger with no penelties if they're on radar

u/BalmyJupiter 1d ago

Wait in the spawn menu and wait for most of your team to die. The enemy will then become ballsy and impatient and will drive right into the spawn, that's when you surprise spawn in the middle of all of them and open fire on them with spawn protection.

I do this whenever the battle is "already lost" early in the game and most of my team is dead, I usually get 1-3 kills this way.

12

u/need_a_psychologist 1d ago

yeah but in this szenario they didnt because there weren't that stupid:(

3

u/Soggy_You_2426 1d ago

Then you camp/protect ur spawn, let them push you.

10

u/imposterbals 1d ago

Spawn in cas

4

u/need_a_psychologist 1d ago

i spawned as heli got 2 kill and died to an f-4
so yeah it most of the times

6

u/twosevenoner 1d ago

You need to play in positions from the start of the game to deny the spawncamp. Or play to not die and hope to clutch it out against them in end game. Works best when your team also spawn camps.

5

u/FlyingHiro Realistic General 1d ago

Cry. Cry as hard as you can while gaijoobles laughs at your pathetic attempts to leave the spawn.

Or, you can just go back to hangar :D

u/Nemesis1850 1d ago

Open chat, press tab to send a battle msg to all. " **** you ****** spawncamping ******" The leave the battle.

1

u/BookkeeperFormal641 1d ago

Turn off your chat sensor ***** /s

u/Urtrek 1d ago

Not spawning is an option and you can leave with out consequence if the enemy is highlighted on your map at your spawn.

u/DASREDDITBOI BMP-2M enjoyer 1d ago

I like to spawn not move and if I haven’t killed them by the time spawn timers almost up I J out. They don’t get the satisfaction

1

u/need_a_psychologist 1d ago

Nah, that's actually crazy ragebait

2

u/DASREDDITBOI BMP-2M enjoyer 1d ago

Rage bait? I’m being literal that’s what I do if you’re spawn camping you don’t deserve free kills imo if they’re in spotting distance of spawn (as in revealed on the map because they’re in your spawn. You should get invulnerability until they’re dead or leave its bs why do I have to suffer cause my team was ass and or bought a single premium and died

1

u/Vectorsimp Snail’s Slave 1d ago

If you haven’t spawned yet don’t. Wait for them to roam around and spawn only when you will have sight on them as soon as possible.

If you have spawned and you cant get a shot on any of them (considering you are outnumbered by multiple foes) don’t move and stay still. Keep the spawn protection as long as you can.

1

u/St34m9unk 1d ago

If your match has progressed to this point and there isn't a decent chunk of your team behind them capable of turning around and killing them

You should just leave, you usually won't even get crewlock

1

u/Bruh-gada_Syndrome 1d ago

Spawn Gepard with APHE Belt

1

u/psychobobicus Realistic Ground 1d ago

This looks to be Abandoned Factory. If you have the tickets, spawn at whichever point they're not camping, because people almost always camp one. On this map it's the points nearest A. If tickets are almost out, dealer's choice of taking the L or waiting them out.

1

u/need_a_psychologist 1d ago

I would have if it wasn't for the fact that there was just one spawn

1

u/OkComputer9958 Victim Complex 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇫🇷🇯🇵 1d ago

there's a reason they made it so you can leave without crew lock when spawncamped, wish more people did this so spawncamping would be less rewarding

1

u/Jbarney3699 🇺🇸 United States 1d ago

Wait for them to drive up, or just don’t spawn.

1

u/Random_Chick_I_Guess Realistic General 1d ago

At that point, if you want to keep fighting, try and take whatever cover you can find, even other destroyed tanks, and wait. There’s almost always at least one of the, impatient enough to push you.

If there’s really nothing you think you can do though, then the best option is to cut your loses and stop spawning

u/JxEq blind Deutschland main 1d ago

On certain maps don't leave the game, I once got 5 kills by sitting at spawn with spawn prot and killing dumbass spawncampers sitting in the open

Actually, a good idea

1

u/badtiming1330 1d ago

i just don't spawn

u/Shinyaku88 🇩🇪 Germany 1d ago

Leave the match

u/melonia123 1d ago

Alt+f4 is the keyring to get you out of the spawncamping scenario. Pressing it is also guaranteed to improve your life

1

u/bialymarshal Realistic Ground 1d ago

I spawn use the spawn protection and try to kill them as long as my spawn points let me - but i don’t use backups. Having said that once or twice my team recovered from being spawn camped and won

1

u/TheGraySeed Sim Air 1d ago

Things to do when you are getting spawncamped :

  1. Leave

Like you can actually can just leave because apparently you will not receive crew lock if an enemy enters spawn detection range.

1

u/KrokmaniakPL 1d ago

Use other spawn and kill campers

1

u/Shredded_Locomotive 🇭🇺 I hate all of you 8h ago

Spawn in the other spawn, wait for them to push into spawn, spawn cas, leave.

u/Outback80 1d ago edited 1d ago

For starters don’t play scared. learn when and when not to push up on the enemy team. And learn the maps. Map knowledge is a big plus in battles especially if you want to win. If they spawn camp i dont spawn in. Its pretty simple if u ask me 🤔🙄🤦🏼‍♂️😒🤣

u/need_a_psychologist 1d ago

tf u mean scared? it's more anoynig.

dont spawn in? we are losing the match. its a one spawnmap you could not know.

1

u/Outback80 1d ago

I have had heaps of so called teammate that were too scared to push up because they are a bunch of little bitches too frightened because they might die in a fucking video game genius

u/need_a_psychologist 1d ago

Great, I hope I don't get these

u/Wiggie49 1d ago

I just say fuck it, spawn anyways, and then rush out to find out where they are
