Yes.....beelined straight to my position without any search pattern action from where my film picks him up at 9k out............no search pattern in the relatively large area I could have been or even banking to look until in my immediate area.
Last night, skyryder and myself searched for someone who was flashing our HQ and we performed a search pattern which took more than a few passes right over the con until the eventual finding and killing of Fbcrabby.
To his credit, FBcrabby is an intrepid individual who has pulled off some amazing things in AH and he actually shot all the ack out of the HQ so he could hide among the buildings.
It took a while to find him.
Unlike lyric 1, I performed a search pattern, enjoyed it, and survived finding the enemy........though skyryder was the killer in this one.
What's interesting is that in all of my tank missions to the strats or HQ, nobody has ever beelined me.
The three times I flown to the strats NOE in a plane, one plane has always beelined me......even when the strats/HQ is not flashing.
