So then, have HTC put the radar all the way down to sea level and remove the "fog of war"..

Can't have any mystery in this game at all, no sir.

I think you misunderstood Hammer.

Just a hunch though.

I know...maybe I did. Apologies. I just think there has to be a good mix of obvious all out fights and a little mystery- as in, "what's setting this base off?"

Concerning spying. I don't accuse anyone of it, as there is no outright proof, and it is too difficult to obtain. But, I do not doubt that it happens.

I see it here as a cheat, on the same scale as if you were to look at your opponent's "Battleship" game board to find all his ships. Online, or on a board, same concept.

My favorite is when a fairly good sized mission is launched, and a guy that WAS on the mission roster shows up half way to the target in a 262 with some friends as an enemy pilot. I think it's kinda lame, but I really don't care that much.
My second favorite is when two missions intercept each other and everyone starts freaking out saying SPIES SPIES SPIES, when it is just a coincidence. It actually turns out fun when everyone drops ords and dukes it out.

Spying is dumb, but happens all the time. I'm not gonna quit over it.

If you happen to be in a squad that loves capturing unmanned bases via NOE missions, your best bet is to stay out of the Late War arenas and stick to Early/Mid ones where there's less people (since your goal is to fight and capture inanimate objects, it makes no sense to do these missions in the popular arenas). A lot of good players will make fun of you, of course, but I'm of the opinion that people should play the game in whatever way entertains them (to each his own).

I couldn't tell you how many succesful GHI noe mission I have been apart of. The key is alternating NOE missions between both enemy countries. NOE bomber missions have been my favorite as of late. Rolling 3 or 4 Lancs/B24's with a 110 and a goon works super well.

----------------

I think capturing/sneaking unmanned air bases in LW arenas are a lot of fun. All it takes to bust a sneak mission is usually 1 person. The thrill of hoping that 1 of the 80+ players on the opposing team doesn't realize that their base is being captured is awesome. Of course, more times than not, 1 of those 80+ players ends up busting the mission.

As for spying, it definitely does exist. The original post in this thread said it all. There is nothing we can do about it.

A properly designed and executed mission will 90 times out of 100 succeed reguardless of spies or not going NOE.

Problem is there are VERY few missions properly designed and/or executed.

Ain't that the truth

The only thing that troubles me here is that this kid is doing nothing during his waking hours but sitting at his PC playing Aces High. I don't like to dig into people's personal lives much, but where the hell are his parents, and why aren't they doing a little spying themselves? Sheesh.

A spy wouldn't say he was a spy. unless...that's what you want me to think and you really are a spy and are trying to use reverse phycology on me to make me think you aren't a spy! Therefore keeping your secret identity a secret and can spy even more! Well that won't work on me 'cause I have no brain and never think about anything hard enough to get confused by this.
