Bug or HTC testing?
« on: April 17, 2007, 12:06:32 PM »
Yesterday while defending a V-base with an Osti a F4U came in to attack, I shot off one of his wings but he kept on flying, another guy shot off his other wing but he still kept flying, and by flying I'm talking about loops full turns, dives and pull outs. He continued flying around and I hit him again and knocked off his entire tail section and he's still flying and shooting.

I hit him another time and knocked off his fusalage, now this guy has been flying around the base for 5 minutes by now his plane only consists of a cockpit and motor but he's still flying like nothing was wrong.

Along comes BGTazz in a plane and he chases this flying cockpit around and records it (I can only hope he sends it in to HTC).  He's pinging the heck out of it and still no kill. During his dogfight with this F4U it collides with him and BGTazz said he got a collision message saying that ____ collided with him but it didn't give a name. The F4U (or what was left of it) flew on back toward it's base.

Was this one of the HTC staff doing some testing or was this truly a glitch??

  I hung around a while at the base and never got a kill message so I can only assume he landed his engine safely.

Same thing happened to me last night, but it was Lanc's.  

I didn't see it all that well, but I did catch about 30 seconds of it before the flying "submarine" (no wings, no tail, just a bit of the body) flew into a mountain guns blazing.

Hey, maybe it WAS a submarine....  who knew??

I had a similar incident happen when I shredded both wings off a Ki-84 a month or so ago...he just kept on flying...turning and dodging for all he was worth...I put an entire load of P-51b .50cals into him, and he finally exploded after flying for about 3 min with no wings or tail.

That's what I was thinking, maybe they were testing a model. The fact that there was no name attached, and I don't recall seeing a variant other than f4U, but that could have been because I was so fixated on the plane (or lack thereof) that I didn't notice which F4U model it was.

The few times I've been online when HTC have been testing something they've always announced it on 200.

I remember back about a year ago HT would test the AI in flying PTs. Mabey hes trying to keep the AI testing on the downlow to see if anyone notices.
