I almost hate to report it :)
« on: September 30, 1999, 06:38:00 AM »
I found what I think to be a bug tonight, quite by accident.

I whas flying near F22 as a Bishop when I bailed out after taking critical damage.  Upon landing I found that I could walk about if I didn't exit(that's not the bug).  Since I was near the enemy field I decided to go have a look.  After some time I made it to close to the field and noticed that the ack was firing at me but was not causing damage or killing me.  It would just keep hitting me, all the ack.    So I then ventured onto the tarmac and lo and behold I was able to use the crossfire of the ack to destroy planes on the ground.    I didn't get any kind of kill message but I could tear em up right quick.

I thought it was rather humorous at the time and fortunately didn't piss off people too bad.  I admit it was dweebery of the ultimate kind but it is my duty as a beta tester to weed out these potential problems.

I think that in the future, in order to provent such people as myself from taking advantage of situations like this, the chute/man should be prone to damage/death from enemy ack fire.  Likewise, I don't think that you plane should be able to become victim to your own country's ack.  Perhaps that is part of the game design, I don't know.  But that's up to you the programmers.

I truly hope this doesn't spawn a mass parachuting at your local enemy field in order to wreak havoc on your defensless foes.

p.s. I also posted this to the Game bugs forum.
