The Midway plans were uncovered by code breakers, not spies.

I said it in a pm to a friend & I'll say it here. This post is not a statement about spying for a greater good. This is a "turn the light on in the kitchen to make the cockroaches scatter" post.  You wanna pay $15 a month to spy, so be it. Heck have a good time with it. But DANG :x, be the best spy you can be & don't get caught :neener:  I personally hope you choke on the success of spying in a video game, get bored and go do something else so the rest of us can enjoy the game fairly :cheers:

isnt that how we found out about the japanese attack at midway? hmm i didnt know spying was such a bad thing in WW2.


We have no way to retaliate against spys in here. In real life, spys were often times shot, or put in POW camps, and we can do neither of those here.

Right now, the absolute WORST thing that can happen to a spy is being ineffective because people know you're spying. Asside from that, you stand to lose nothing but you're reputation, which is a VERY weak hold for most people.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Look at the squadron in question and you'll understand the reason why they do what they do in MW.

ack-ack

Agreed, it's extremely timid and lame, giving the squad in question - the average age must be under 18.

It's actually an interesting part of the game, that people do spy.  Just as there were spys in WWI and WWII.   The problem in AH is that people can spy with little or no punishment.  Unlike their counter parts in WWII that were executed when caught and many were caught. 

German spys that came ashore on Long Island, NY,  once found, were executed in the electric chair.  The Germen solders that dressed as GI's at the battle of the bulge were shot along the roadside when captured.

We have no G2 or MP units responsible for fretting out a spy, we don’t use codes or have code breakers from S2.  But if a spy could be positively identified, perhaps that Game ID, could be executed.  The Player could create another ID, and start anew.  0 perks. But the old spy id would be gone, dead, no more.

Perhaps a new element to the game.   A person could chose to become a spy and go ashore in a strange land, with equipment to allow them to spy and provide back information, via a code and if found or located, could be killed.

Of course that works for people that are honest players of a game and not plain ordinary cheaters.  Which is what I think the world of AH is faced with.  People that think rules of fare play do not apply to them and there is nothing that can really be done about that.

No, I think he means like you drive a jeep ashore, and if anyone notices you're not legit, and kills you, then you lose your game ID and perks.

Sorry, but if they log off when confronted about spying, they're pretty obviously spying.

Do you imediatly log off when someone asks YOU if you're spying while on a visit to another country?
