[Ghosth]

heheheheheheheheheheheh

Darn, knew I was going through withdrawl but couldn't figure out what!  

[Toad]

What's worse is that the panzer took me out in a HO!!!

No TCM (tank combat maneuvering) at ALL!!

 

[Minotaur]

So sorry, but at 5000mph this tank would quickly over run its on missile.  Next time please send film, or stop the whining.

I bet RAM is reading all this.
I bet its taking him some self control not to reply.
I bet he will be back with a new alias.
I bet we will see some RAM-style posts soon made by some unknown newby  

Come back RAM. We know you want to.

Interesting enough, I ran across "Ram's Cheater" of sorts yesterday afternoon.  I had crisp clear connects all afternoon, no warps, no micro-warps..I dove on a B26 from a very high 6 'clk position, about 50 degree dive, to saw off his tail with my .50's.

Just as I had a guns solution, about D.600, the B26 went from my 12 to my 6 clk position, with pings hitting me , luckily, I survived, but it was very disturbing to see a nice steady B26 in regards to connections, but then do a warp from 12 to 6 in a nano-second...I aired my opinion on what I witnessed and asked Shamus (a nearby enemy Spit fighter) to ask the individual to log off and back on again.

Sure, it upset me, I've been around online sims long enough to know what folks have  been known to do with their modems/connections to turn the tables in their favor...but in no way would I ever quit because of an anomoly once in a blue moon, but it sure does piss me off!

It's a maturity issue, not a sim issue.

Ah! But you didn't come here and post a furious list of accusations and names, and that is the difference. I agree with you and RAM, weird things do happen. OTOH, clubbing someone without any definitive evidence will get you in trouble every time.

I know on Warbirds there was what I called the 12 to 6 cheat.

You hit alt tab, which switches you to desktop.  As soon as you hit alt tab, count to 3.  Then Alt Tab Back.  Usually the person behind you will be about D1.5 in front of you.

This can be caused by lag and warps, usually if it's the Alt Tab then they don't warp.

I have seen planes in Warbirds Wink Out from the 12 and re-appear on my six.  When someone did this to me three time in a row it was too suspicious.  I started asking and someone told me about the Alt Tab thing.

All I can say is if it happens once ignore it, if it happens twice be very suspicious, try to get it on film.  If they are resulting to this tactic it should be pretty easy to catch it on film.  Then send the Films to HT and let HT deal with it.

If you are aware that it can be done you know what to look for.  I assume that if enough people catch someone doing this type of thing HT will make an example.

Downtown, last I was in WB, you couldn't alt-tab, you had to hit the help button, that would take you to a smaller help screen where you could access the desktop. I remember this being an issue, because it was the only way to change your RW ip setting. Just curious, maybe they've changed it, or maybe you're talking about running it from within a window.

- kidcol -

p.s. Not saying it didn't happen to me in WB, or hasn't happenned here. But here it happens a lot less frequently, & I don't feel like a fool for taking on a long bomber mission just to be discoed within site of the target (as used to happen in WB with alarming regularity) --Not meant as a WB slam, just my personal observations--

Last time I checked WB, you could alt-tab in flight, but in the tower you had to use the "help file" switch.  Of course, since 2.7 alt-tab slowly corrupted my Vid card (TNT and TNT2) and every time I ran the risk of a hard crash.
So I switched to AH.  I do a lot of work on the desktop while flying in AH and I thoroughly enjoy this aspect of the game.
now, on an unrelated issue, if some of you are speaking of a method of cheating that actually works, you should consider removing your posts.
