I don't wait for vehicles, waste of time. If theres no vehicle, bad luck, I'll walk.
This, unless its a flag in NA in the middle of nowhere, but then again there's never lines for kubels anyways. Overall there just isn't a big enough difference between tanks to make it worth waiting 5 minutes for a specific one. Planes are a bit more understandable but I'm not a pilot.

For the people who are waiting I guess I'd say B, though. Or at least smashing "E" is okay, it's still nice to give the vehicle to whoever was there first.

I don't wait for tanks. Waiting on tanks is for chums. Fight you shall! ;)
Apart from the couple of guys who really know how to make a difference in a particular tank I find it hella annoying that you try to play a good team game and you constantly see half your team in main waiting to fullfill their personal fetish.

More inf. oriented myself but if I spawn in a base with a tank I'll take it. Earlier I didn't give a F what kind of tank, but now that I've dug a little deeper into the different models and classes in FH I try to take the best one that's available (for what I'm about to do at that moment).
FH2 is the game, DarklyDreamingDexter is the name.

If its Aberdeen, Villers, Totalize or some other maps with a shitload of tanks, and i spawn at the tank-yard, and theres no tanks there i wait, but in a map with few tanks i never bother.   Some maps, like Aberdeen, i would say you need a tank. You can run for 5 minutes and get shot, or take a rambo-kubel assault, who when i drive at least, fail 90% of the time.

Exactly. I'm not much of a waiter myself, but once I set my mind to 'driving around tanks and shooting stuff' I really dont mind waiting. Especially if in the end, I do usefull stuff for the team.

The number of times I've sat still in a bush for 30 minutes just letting my squad spawn trying to get some impossible flag....cannot count that anymore. I don't mind really, as long as the team benefits.

I didnt really understand C. How is it different from B ? What else can you do than stand in the right place and desperately push E ?  Or did C include TK others who want the tank ?

The 'C' Type of people think they actually own the tank, and that hence everyone else should p*ss off. This might result in swearing, annoying and general annoying behavior.

In contrast, someone who is from the 'B' philosophy does not care too much if he 'loses' the tank-spawn. He just walks to another one and repeats his actions. The 'C' type will do anything to get 'his' tank back (including counting the seconds, pushing others away, NO! voice calling, typing etc etc).

Jeep FTW!  ;D
Me, I guess if I really wanted that vehicle it would be A. Although I rarely take vehicles, especially tanks...airplanes only if there are very few people on the map and just feeling like screwing around (before the real game starts), so generally I only take light transport vehicles, which there isn't much of a fight for.

A mix of A and B

If I died as a Gunner, because my Tank driver was too stupid, I make my E-Button burn.

If I don't know the others before me, I am polite and wait.
