How did you find me?
« on: July 22, 2014, 11:01:47 AM »
That question, is the least combative one I get when I have a successful intercept on an enemy aircraft.

No, I don't have a shade account with a second computer running showing the enemy positions, nor am I receiving messages from "friends" on the enemy side giving away your position.

2 recent examples:

I'm just tooling around climbing toward the activity when a few guys running NOE, and doing pretty well to, low enough not to show a dar bar, but not low enough to trigger the ships radar the are unknowingly flying near, I swoop in and kill the goon.  Got a couple PM's on that one.

I am looking for a goon in a ME262 and can't find him when a fellow player in a GV calls out that he has just heard an aircraft shut off his engines near him.  I go look, there it is, dead goon.  I got 4 PM's for that one.

Let me tell you what you don't see.  You don't see me searching and searching and then failing because there was no kill.  You don't see how much time I spend hunting.  You don't see the years and years of playing and getting to know the habits of players.

I love to play as a hunter killer.  I've done it for years, give me a little credit for developing the skills needed to succeed.


One last thing.  Every once in awhile I do get PM'd information from the enemy: "They" are pissed and hunting you Zoney...............that's my fav.

Yesterday, I'm hinting in a K4, watching the dar, and figuring that I have some one inbound the strats, skirting the friendly radar.  I park at 30k, and sure enough, here comes  a set of 3 Mossie 16's at 28K, he's gotta be safe right............wrong.  Got a PM for that one too, and I told him exactly what I did, still wasn't acceptable to my victim.

At any time, if I intercept you, feel free to ask politely how I did it and I will tell you, and I will tell you the truth.  Here is a hint to stay alive from hunters like me, "Never ever ever fly directly from your home base to your target. 

One last thing.  Every once in awhile I do get PM'd information from the enemy: "They" are pissed and hunting you Zoney...............that's my fav.

Happens all the time.  Once a guy in B29 left a dar bar trail on the way to strats that wasn't hard to figure out.  Our side was chatting about it for 15 minutes and when the time was right to launch 163s, about 5 guys upped.  The 29 pilot was sure someone had outed him.  How else could a bunch of idiot Knights have unraveled his complex plan?

This is a commentary of today's society -  "It can't be my fault, so someone must have cheated, there should be a law..."

Keep up the good work Zoney... Remember HTC said it best, I'll paraphrase "the object of this game is to piss the other guy off"

On a different but related topic - One of my fav's we got on Tuesday night (Squad night) was/is:

"Come on Stampf, quit being 'pure ballers' and do the right thing, and have your guys capture that base."    :rofl

I wouldn't even know how.  :aok


As far as Zoney goes - He's a hunter through and through.  Most guys who accuse him/us of wrong doing are just too new to the game I guess to realize how DarBar works.

   Strat running is high risk when you are on your own. Just like unescorted daylight bombing was in WW2. They know you will end up at your target. Sometimes skirting bases or killing some dar along the way makes it a little harder for them to find exactly where you are.   :noid

     I mostly hope I can get my ordinance dropped before being engaged. Nothing worse than flying all that way for naught.

There is a player that acts like a rather large putz in game that always accuses others of using a 2nd account to track players and to 'map watch'.  I was accused by this player of using a 2nd account to track and 'map watch' because I was able to correctly figure out his route (it was the most direct route from Rookie base to Knit base) he was taking in a C-47 to drop troops on our base.  While searching, I was able to see the sun reflect off his goon on the deck and shot him down.
