Today I got kicked for basecamping without basecamping (I think).

This is how it happened. I did fly a Me109 over the british camp, realised where I was, I think I did not attack the base even before, but certainly not after finding out where I was. I rather intended to fly down south, when I was suddenly shot at from behind. Tried to fly tight circles to evade. Tight circles of course don't bring you anywhere else, so I was still close to the british base. After a while (and a vertical loop) the situation was clear, I flew off, where, somewhere above the mountains to the west of the base, I was finally shot down - so still not as clear as I had thougt. ;-)

I reincarnated in the german base (the airfield), and wanted to climb into another Me109, where suddenly I was kicked for "attacking the enemy base" or so.

I don't mind when you generally kick people for staying close to the enemy base too long (probably it is difficult for admins to distinguish?). But then please say so, because basecamping is defined as ATTACKING the enemy base, which I did not do. I did not even attack the airplane that attacked me.

Any explanation or guidline would be welcome, just for future situations like this.

BTW: At another occasion I have rightfully been kicked for basecamping with a sniper gun, in the Bocage. I don't refer to that one!

Hallo and I hope this is not the wrong forum. If so, please tell me where else to post it.

Just something that happened to me some days ago: It was I think in Gazala. German air field. I jump into a Stuka Ju87. I see two guys there behind. I shout "jump in", and want to wait for one of them to be my gunner. But my problem: I have a joystick (Thrustmaster), and the plane stops only when the gas lever is in the middle. The slightest deviation, and it goes back or forth. I try to find the middle, it is not easy. So i do not fully stop, but gently roll forward, then backward, forward, backward, just so that someone who wants to be gunner CAN jump in.

After about half a minute I see that no one wants to be my gunner. OK, I think, then let me fly alone. While I am thrusting forward and out of a strange angle try to go straight, I get a message that I am kicked from the game because of blocking it (or some other formulation, don't remember).

You can imagine that I was a bit pissed in that moment. My first visit on your server, full of hopes, and being treated as if I was obstructive? Not the nicest experience!

Never mind, but I would like to know whether I got it right. Was this the reason for my kick? Or were there other factors, too? In which case I would like to learn!

So, dear Admins, for the future: When you see some two-seater plane gently going forth and back, and the pilot shouting "jump in", then this pilot has a weird joystick setting and is waiting for a gunner to jump in. And it is probably me then, trying to be CONstructive! ;-)
