When you get zero connection but it may be hard to tell the difference i realise that. but hey if the players connectivity speed slowly drops to the point he is discoed then to me that's a legitimate disco but if its a straight out  right disconnection from pressing Alt an F4 then that's player wants to disco isn't it ???

I don't think you understand how a disco works.

I'm no expert, but the signal that leaves your computer travels through many many obstacles before it gets to HTC's servers.  If any one of these is interrupted, you will loose that link with the server and get discoed.  There is no way for the game to know where that link was broken, whether it be somewhere in Oklahoma, space, or at the back of your computer.  Sure, some people could show a bumpy status before a disco, but that's not always the case, a person can have a "legitimate disco" and be completely cut off.  A disco can be initiated by simply pulling the cable out of the back of your computer (that big phone line, or regular phone line if you're on dial-up).  I don't think Alt+F4 counts as a disco.

I don't think it does. Even if HTC did refund perks, all it would save you from is possibly yielding a kill (they MIGHT get a proxie, but I don't think they do) to anyone. If I'm up in a perked tank (or aircraft for that matter), and I have to leave on short notice, I'll hit alt+F4 rather than crashing so as to screw someone out of a proxy (or if they land hits on me, a legitimate kill and the resulting perks).

I'm 99% sure a disco or altf4 does NOT rob anyone of proxies or perks on you.

Alt f4 is a crash.  Check text bar it will say u have crashed, and if somebody pinged u, I will also give them a kill.

I was wondering if this is even possible? I hear people asking if they can get there perks back if they disco in a 262 or something like that, and I was wondering if HTC even has the capability of doing so? I know they can make a way, but I'm just asking if they already have a way they can do that?

If you Alt+F4 out of the game and there is a bandit in proximity range, the bandit will get the proxy kill on you.  If you Alt+F4 and you were damaged prior to exiting out of the game, the bandit that shot you up (provided he's still flying) will get the kill.  The only times you will not give out a proxy or credit for the kill is if you loose connection to the host and disconnected.

Many, many years ago I was flying a ME 262 and was discoed immediately after take off and lost the full amount of perks (this was before the perk modifier).  I emailed HTC about it and I got my perks back a couple of days later.
