Because some Axis drive their tanks to the beach and spawnrape too.

It is such association as in the case of discussed Berlin map, but there should  be a difference. From the "player - give me fair -" perspective, I am not a fan of "beach troops" too on the Iwo Jima map (and on Omaha likewise), however in my opinion trying to restrict some places in this game for defenders in their efforts to somehow defend mentioned island/place and defeat an enemy is nonsense. Especially in the view of that map design. Namely on Iwo Jima US Marines can go ashore and strike almost anywhere, from any direction. Beach with the flag isnt one way to gain a foot on the island and with existing naval support even only spawn for them. On the other hand for "Japs" team this place with bunkers above is logical first point, where some of them just will be waiting for any enemy, who may attempt land in this sector. I understand, that japs cannot get beach-flag back under their control, after it is captured by US units, but yet there is no problem and necessity for "rules against spawnrape" at this point. It´s just one of the flag on the map. If there will come situation, that some of US troops starting spawn on the beach and there are japs units (even with tanks) waiting for them, it is nothing more than one of battle devolepments, which can be turn. And that I admit as mostly one of US soldiers, who on that beach from tanks and grenades and guns receives many hits. But I take it as my own problem, that I decide to spawn on that place or that Us troops were by own their fails pushed to the sea via that beach. After all these tanks can be destroyed by air support alike and enemy infantry can be killed too, no problem in this case, just keep fighting.  It is also something what belongs to an atmosphere of Bf42....

I am in for rules concerning clearly defined and obvious bases and prohibition of striking them, trolls, disruptive gameplay and etc and I get it that BF42 as a game needs some rules to be playable for everyone. But just this case of Iwo Jima, Omaha, Berlin and where to shoot and at what seems to me like pointless outline how others should be play and act for enjoyment some of men. It reminds me that nervous comedian Maj.Merlin yesterday, who demanded bans for players on Midway map, because they allegedly crossed his some line of "base" on the sea and approach oponnets fleet with ships. Considering the open map design and naval role in this, its ridiculous.

As I said, I've zooked unmanned jeeps many times parked in their base and never once been warned for it, had I been I might have a different opinion.
There's always zooks flying down towards main base on this map, an APC parked at the corner spraying lead as they try to advance.
It's a trait for this map and this map only, a well organized team with tactics can conquer the odds and get out to cap flags and once they do you have a whole new ball game against Axis.

We don't discuss the rules here, but we understood, that you harmed them allready several times.

From my side, i 'm done with it

Just passing by, but I was there at the moment and witnessed it, jeep was killed at spawn point, and destroying it there is baserape and tus Arkos is no "angry admin", just don't zook vehicles at spawn, stop lying and only fire at players fiering out of the base like snipers, MG's and flak guns, rules are simple if you don't obey you get out, SIMPLE.
