disco king
« on: December 07, 2007, 09:15:24 AM »
Yesterday I encountered some B17s at about 10k and after gaining some alt on them proceeded to make repeated high side attacks. After about 4 attacks the buffs disappeared. Discos happen I guess. A little while later I got a message saying I shot down WAGS26. I didn't know you can get a kill credit for a disco. I should have hit all the bombers at least once I suppose. I decided to look up WAGS26 and out of 60 bomber sorties, there are 36 discos. It's hard to blame an Internet connection on that when out of 35 veh/boat sorties there is only 1 disco. I nominate WAGS26 as the disco king, but I imagine there are even bigger ones.

.....or it could have been when the server loaded up and then went Ka-blew-ey. TxMom shot me into next month with her Osti but it took about 5 minutes for my plane to take damage and blow up.

At 36 discos, he truly is the Disco-King!

Alt-F4, as well as ending task in taskmanager, results in "death" not disco.

Looking back a few months, this guy has a staggering number of discos. Dude's got some serious issues.

This leads me to a question. does "Pulling the cable" on your router result in a 'disco'? Or a 'death'?

I've had issues with alot of discos myself in the last month or so, 8 or 10 max. And this is on a basic dell with the usual upgrades and high speed cable connection.

Well I'm not sure whats up but  Thursday night, I had 5 discos in a row. Then last night I upped a C Hog because I hardly ever fly them got a few kills and then what do you know. Host has switched to UDP...then Disco.

So could it be he just wasn't in a boat at the times his connection decided to go out? I do GV's a lot but I don't have a single disco in a GV they were all in aircraft. If they all showed in my stats I'd have about 9 discos in an aircraft and 0 in Gv's this month.

As a side note  only about half of mine show up in my stats but I've had about 8 or 9 discos this month. I assume it's because I don't always get the "switch to UDP" sometimes I just lose connection without any warning.
