Disable Wingman fuction!
« on: January 27, 2005, 08:32:19 AM »
I am BAT31 of the 31st Fighter Group

As of late we have found many a time, one player from another country will be become a Bish, when pick the leader of a Bish squad as a wingman.

Reason for this is simple, when this spy sees that wingman con up from a field with a many other Bish and head to a target, this spy then just send a IM to his team mates in another country.

And Bingo, the target field now becomes the best defended base in the game.

Or how about this one, this spy just sends the location of every CV back to his team mates.

If your say this can't happen, well you can keep living in dream world, I am in this world where this is happening.

Have a nice day, remember the way it is setup right now, AHII rewards cheaters.

Oh, so this is some kind of new info, eh?

Cheaters have a way... of finding a way.

Hard to stop them without ruining everyone's fun.

Ooops, I said the forbidden "C" word, I meant "spies".

Or, perhaps, the enemy saw a big dar bar and decided to defend, or it WAS the best defended base in the game, or it wasn't the empty base that the "many other bish" thought they were attacking and the lone GV guy called for help and got it....

Or it might be the infamous Anti-Horde Horde whose function is to, shall we say, impede, an attack, by strewing enemy plane parts far and wide.  :)

Sometimes its luck.  I was flying around the other day in p38.  Having nothing better to do, I put it in a slite dive towards the enemy field to see how fast I could go through the hangers and the ack.  As I got close, dots.  Lost of little dots over the water.  NOE mission had just taken off, nice slow, low, and heavy.  

I could see how someone could think that a soy had given up the mission

 :rofl ... this is another topic that has been discussed many times.

Nothing can be done about it, and nothing will be done about it due to the fact that there are many ways to spy and it probably would be a waste of time trying to plug all the holes. Most of all ... I'll bet the majority of the player base just don't give a crap either.

Knights would never have this problem cause we don't have a "supreme" leader ... I also fail to believe that the Bish and Rooks do too.

Inquirying minds would like to know ... who is the exalted supreme leader of Bishlandia ? ... stand and make yourself known.

As things stand now, every friendly shows up as a green dot, whether or not above dar,  whether or not within friendly radar range.  Why not disable this, at least where the friendly is under 500 feet, and the viewer is not "missioned up" with the friendly?  This would prevent a spy from blowing the whistle on under dar missions, at least.

I am TC of The Damned Air Group :cool:

As of late we have found many a time, one player from another country will be become a Knight, or log his 2nd computer on to his second account. You can usually pick up who is who by looking at the roster, they either will show all of 1 squad in 1 country and 1 or 2 lonewolfs in an opposite country, or they make their second account named similar to their main acct.

Reason for this is simple, when this spy sees a bunch of cons up from a field with  many other knights and head to a target, this spy then just send a IM to his team mates in another country.

And Bingo, the target field now becomes the best defended base in the game.

Why else would someone up 262's and a cple of La7's, P47s, Nikis ( 4 or 5 planes tops )and just hover around the sector around a given field at less than 8k alt when their is no enemy dar bar showing in a 3 sector deep radius around that particular base? spoils NOE missions everytime. It happens on all 3 sides we all have felt the unfortunate wraith of these evil Players
:D


Do Not announce you are doing a mission
Do not Post a Mission for Others To See
Forget About NOE it does not work Like it used too back in the days of AH1 ( earlier years )
Have Fun because this will never stop happening, so move along and find something else entertaining to do.

1 THING - that I have seen work lately is these mass formations of Buffs, 7 to 10 bomber formations all flying in  tight formation together.  ( they just need to work on their aim when dropping a little better  21 bombers all dropped only knocked out 1 FH and the radar :lol )

anyhow.........don't feel like it is just happening to your country BAT31.......every country /team has had to deal with this for a good while now.....

I like Shanes idea, of the text message when someone wingman tags you....


oh oh, what is really annoying is flying a goon NOE, with NOONE ELSE anywhere near you, think sneaking around into the back door!  and this enemy dot on radar somehow knows exactly where you are, so you fly in different direction, well the enemy dot just corrects his course of flight and keeps coming directly too you. Okay you say, so you turn again and fly away from him, he turns toward you again....until he gets with in vis range and blammo you just wasted another goon flight to that EVIL PLayer :(

Now if you was NOE, was all alone and had no one near you you was hiding, you was not near a field close enough to be seen a s a dot, you did not trip any bases flashing mechanism, tell me that  Evil Player has ESP, is a Wizard, a Medium? isn't he...no way on earth he has someone telling him where you are, or no way he is using 2 accts.......that is simply not possible now is it.........:eek:

would have to disable the GoTo feature in the roster as well.

Actually, it's really just a silly topic.  Happens to everyone.  PLAN for it.  To be expected.  IF somebody is SO very lame they have to change countries just to ruin another persons flight time, they are just sad little people, who you would pitty anyway if you ever met 'em in real life.  

Still, would much rather attack a defended base than milkrun an empty one.

I'm the CO of a great squad.  .Wingman me anytime.  Bring it on!!
