Warping when you close on someones "6" is easily explained by a weak computer. new sounds are added, better detailed pictures of the planes are lloaded and so on. If your computer is not up to the task of rendering all of these things, it will studder and look like a warp. Again, the internet gets trashed as more and more folks log on and check out the latest "you-tube" video, so those time when more people are likely to be doing this stuff.... like a Sunday night, or the summer months when it is nothing but reruns on, are more likely to have poor connections to the servers.

If you think some one is cheating, film it and send the info to HTC, don't post it here on the boards, it can only cause grief.

for the record....i was not accusing anyone of cheating.......it was...well.....just a general whine. i need a little cheese to go with it now please/?

You thought wrong.

I've been guilty of getting ticked off and taunting people to DA after getting HO'd, vulched or seeing someone hugging their ack. After a few minutes of deep breaths, anger management and an occasional swigs of beer, I laugh at myself and shake my head.

I personally don't HO unless I'm forced to. As for vulching, I usually don't do it either because AI field ack can be deadly. If I'm working to take a base, you bet I will vulch because every enemy fighter that is launched delays the capture of the field.

IMO, the one thing that legitimately gets under my skin is kill stealing. When I say kill stealing, I don't mean someone jumping in front of me and blasting some guy away before I can get a bead on the bandit. As far as I'm concerned, if you have good position, take it and take the shot.

What I mean is that after shooting someone down, I break off and re-assess SA to line up the next engagement. The bandit I shot is twirling down to the ground with a tail or wing missing. Then some weasel dives in and plugs the carcass of the dead plane with all nine yards of ammo and I end up with an assist. It doesn't happen often but when I does, I really steams me.

ya know what? THIS is in my opinion the absolute most honest reply i've seen........why? because you're absolutly correct. HO's are annoying....but only if you're on the recieving end and don't manage to avoid it. vulching is annoying too.....for the same reason as above. unfortunatly, though both of these are very valid tactics. like you say above.......if you're tryin to tsake a base, you NEED to vulch to suppress the enemy. HO's? whelp...fact is, if the shot's there some'll take it, no matter what. i think everyone in here has done it at one time or another. i do it if i'm hoplessly outnumbered, otr pilot wounded,,,,,,or if really important pieces of my aircraft are missing. and just like you highg, i do get VERY frustrated about both....but at least with the vulching, i can up another field, and come back and shoot em when they ain't lookin where they should be:D

kill stealing.....i WISH the kill shooter was off, cause i have enough trouble gettin kills, and have had a few stolen just as you describe.....i'd GLADLY go down and frag the guy stealin my kills:D by your statement, i imagine you see it a LOT.......it happened to me twice just the other night, i remove a guys wing for him(figured he could use a lighter load), so i go off target as he's no longer a threat, then as i turn a zeke into a roman candle, i see 3 guys chasin my other kill to the deck.......and one of them got that. i lost the zeke too as i turned off to avoid a spit......another took my zeke kil from me. ooooo i wish i could"accidently" shoot those sunsofbeetches:furious

You best hope the skuzzinator skips this thread. He's band people for doing exactly the same thing.
Good luck, you're going to need it.

Okay, why dont we just continue to let people cheat in this game. If no one recognizes it, then how do we fix it? As this community grows it's only going to get worse.

That's is why you film anything you find strange and send it in. HT has tools we don't and he has banned people for cheating.
Posting the crap you did just causes more problems.
Why,,, every squeaker in game ( who previously didn't know) just went to those links and are now feverishly working on their own. So tell me how did that help eliminate the cheating hmmm?

Once again film and send it in.

I read the forum rules, and I guess I was in the wrong for bringing up cheating. Sorry, please don't ban me

I do not understand why someone would use something for an unearned win.

How could it be satisfying to know that you are so unskilled that you need help to do what normal people can do?

then factor in that normal for Ah2 is an old guy who has been drinking (I am one of them) and I am thinking if you need to cheat you probably should be riding the short bus to school anyway.

that being said I also apologize for any warps of weird moments you may see of me.. i have an older computer and Comcast sucks =(

I did get this old dog down to 14 processes before i launch AH2 !
\

Ive said it before ..its the thrill of the fight not picking a gun package in the hangar and HO ing or cheating ...

your paying 15 bux a month lets fight! see if you can outfly someone!( i saw a good pilot flying a 109 a few months ago and I have to say it was amazing and fun to watch .. (i pmd him and told him)..he was outnumbered and even tho he was shot down Ill bet he had much more fun that those clowns that "ho n go"
