Better map design for starters, nullifying bomb damage in spawn, and 30 second spawn protection while in spawn (regardless of movement) are some suggestions to make it easier for bad (and new) players/teams to defend against spawn killers.

The players who want to spawn camp have their methods. A map redesign isn't going to change the desire to spawn camp, it will just change how the same players go about achieving the same goal.


From my personal experience/$0.02, generally speaking, most "spawn camping" runs start out as players trying to protect their flanks, then getting the better of the enemy team trying to do the same thing..... Read more

I don't think so.

The chassis on the STA1/2 is quite long. Generally good handling in rough terrain (Not nearly so much 'bounce' that you may experience on shorter chassis), but the 'around-town' handling will feel sluggish. Additionally (You may have noticed, maybe not), the gunner optics zoom level on the A1/A2 is high. Very, very high. 8x (low) and 16x (high). Superb for long distance, but for my opinion, too much for distances below ~500m.

Both 61/A3 are on a shorter chassis, have +150 HP. (650, vs 500, approximately the same weight). One is autoloading, 6s vs the ~7-10s for the non-autoloading. Both have 4-8x zoom, much more comfortable at closer ranges.

I've found the former two to be superb at longer-range engagements, and the latter two to be great at mixing t... Read more

While you’re waiting for the Kings of Battle major update to install, we’re going to be talking about some of the new features and mechanics that have arrived alongside this update that you might have missed. Let’s take a look!

Armor-piercing bombs for several aircraft! A new type of bomb has been added to several aircraft: Armor-Piercing bombs! Historically, this bomb was specifically designed to destroy fortified targets, such as ships, bunkers, coastal defense structures and so on. Due to its different design and principle of fuze operation, armor-piercing bombs detonate after penetrating a certain armor thickness. In the game, these bombs are effective in destroying larger ship compartments that may include magazine storage areas, fuel tanks and engine rooms, which are usually protected by an armored deck.

The full list of armor-piercing bombs th... Read more
