An IP address should not have more than one account at a given arena. They should get discoed & reported.

This won't work.  1) On some networks, all you will see is the IP address of the gateway which means you would be locking out more than 1 person in an entire building or neighborhood.  2) If you are really concerned about cheating, it would take you about 20 minutes to learn how to beat an IP lockout by going thru a proxy server someplace.

I'm all for helping HTC. Howevwer we help them, they will be able/willing to spend more time improving the game. If a gamer logs onto the game, joins a mission, bails when they take-ff and logs onto an opposing side. That would be trackable and easy to stop & disco whomever is doing it.

So you want to disco people on the possibility they might be spying?

All of these "solutions" to cheating and spying have 2 things in common. They restrict acceptable behavior while failing to accomplish their goals.

I want to round them all up und put zem in der arbeitslager, there to perform medical experimentation on those dirty little slackers!

God forbid somebody might be enjoying themselves out there...

The fix is so simple it hurts: Turn off green dots for goons only, give the goon a bright green dot signature like the 234 that can be seen from 9k away by friendlies so we dont end up chasing them, (or just use your radio to ask if the dot you're seeing is a goon or not) but still turn off clipboard dot for C47.   :aok

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

Two accounts is so 2005. You all need to get up to speed with what is going on in 2011. Film viewer in real time while your playing is what is going on of late . :aok Oh & for the record I don't do it.

Of course you don't do this, it is not possible to be running AH and watching a film at the same time.

Sorry to tell you there are people who can & do. I don't know the specifics as I am not a PC guy. That aside from what I have been told it involves a second computer attached to your game PC & using the 2ND PC in some fashion to monitor the first one in real time via film viewer.

If someone needs to cheat that badly, I have no problem with it.  Chances are they suck so much that it won't be hard to kill them.
