Absolutely the poorest gamesmanship I've seen.

[Getback]

Yes I know this is going to be deleted.

On the Compello map they hid the cv in the mountains where you couldn't even bomb the thing once you found it. Heck you couldn't even see the cv except for it's wake and then you had to fly over the mountains to do that. No excuse for taking advantage of a glitch like that.

Then the other day one of the knight bases was flashing and a friendly was there but the base just kept flashing and flashing. So I head over there with some eggs. When our friendly sees me he turns quickly to spray the gv tearing up the town. He had been playing watch dog for the tank while the tank was killing the town. The next day that same guy was back to his country.

Then tonight I come on and both cv's in the south were lined up almost perfectly with each other and both had been sunk. Apparently near the same time. Some Rook had come over to line them up is my guess.

Then later a friendly ups flies over an enemy cv and says nothing. He then proceeds towards me. A con ups at the base by us and he doesn't engage. I empty all my bombs in my b17 and rtb. The friendly doesn't keep up while the con heads to the base I'm returning to. I think slow plane. Nope after flying 2 sectors he finally catches up even though he was in vis range the whole time. He was in a 190D. A very fast plane. He doesn't engage the con and just lands.

I realize Hitech cannot control everything but it's not worth my 15 bucks to support this kind of behavior.

Wow, I agree Getback.   The funny thing is, those people that "switch and do this stuff" are usually the ones placed on a pedestal and admired.

kids and immature adults playing "see what i can do."

I advise you to stop taking Aces High so seriously

It's just a game, and it doesn't really hurt you at all if someone else spends their playtime doing lame stuff

i must be doing something wrong, i don't spend any time watching for dweebs doing stupid things.    should i be paying more attention?

Getback,

Your $15 is important and supports many things, however it doesn't include player behaviour.    That's up to us in the community, I think.

This may be true, but it does hurt HTC as a whole if long time players end their subscriptions because of this kind of thing. And to HTC this is more then "just a game". It's their source of income.

No I think it is more important you keep spending your time keeping Penguin in line on the BBS.

It's glaring to me.

I'm not the one who takes the game too seriously btw. It's the folks that go to extreme length's to stack the deck that do. It would be similar to playing poker and your opponents get to check your hand before they place their bet.

I couldn't agree more. 

[IrishOne]

behavior like that stated above is no different than somebody vulching a second account IMO.   pathetic.

other than the hiding of the cv in the mountains which I agree is lame, on your other points you seem to be drawing conclusions based on very little information.

why would a gv need an enemy "watch dog"? maybe the guy couldn't find the gv at first? who knows.

two sunk cv's? who knows. s happens. maybe a noob general thought 2 cv's going to the same place was so cool, and they got found.

friendly wouldn't engage? maybe he was low on fuel or needed to take a dump. maybe he didn't see the con. who knows.

why would you jump to concluding it is a grand conspiracy of bad gameplay?

It has nothing to do with taking the game too seriously.

It makes it harder to PLAY the game while lame stuff like this is going on.

I think the scoring structure has to be changed. Granted they will always be people who will spend more time figuring ways around rules than spending time to learn to PLAY the game, but as it is now the kids looking to pad their scores are taking away from decent game play.
