I would say the first post is my pet peeve. Kel is right, which is why it is a good reason to only go AT or Medic during the last few tickets of a round. Medics to keep people alive, and AT for the rocket laucher which takes away a ticket immediately on a perfect hit. People spawning can be a bad thing if they are spawning in the wrong place (ie. TV Station roof on Sharqi when an Mi-28 is there) but that is more of a teamwork issue.

After reading this topic I Played a very nice night with tanks being mostly and engineer
I have to say thank you for the advice it is well founded

Yeah well yer face is my pet peeve. Just don't respawn when you die and the tickets are low. Let the remaining guys duke it out.

The ticket is already deducted whether you respawn or not.

To expound, the team loses a ticket whenever you go from "critically wounded" to "killed", or when you go straight to "killed". The object, then, is not to bleed out before a medic zaps you.
