Self-impressed calls me cheater

[RotBaron]

I used the search to look up this topic first, and I seem to have found two common trains of thought on this subject. First take it as a compliment and move on, secondly the guy is a jackwaggon, if you are not a cheater - you know you are not and move on.

I doubt I'll have a problem moving on, but would like some feedback, I'll probably gain some enemies and I apologize if proper etiquette in this post isn't adhered to. My ruffle here was the continual pm'img (at least 4) that I'm a cheat, been filmed and I'll be reported, to which I said "be my guest."

Nevertheless, and attempting to be brief here:

So I'm in Lanc's, said cheat accuser in K-4 comes in high but misses, then pursues co-alt and from 6 at never less than D300 and often up to D600+. As fight progresses and in my desperation to survive it appears he only gets a few pings in me and for whatever reason he stays co-alt on my 6 firing away. He makes evasive maneuvers by turning wings, swinging out to my drone's sides, but remains for most part co-alt. After a few moments I get the first accusation, saying "you'll be the first I've ever reported" and I reply something to the effect of 'why...' His reply to that is something like bye bye and you know why, sending film in... Then the next is "my 30 mils" would have taken you apart, cheater...

More to the story: so I look this guy up, the most recently completed tour, this guy has 7 kills in K-4, and 43 total kills on Lancs. He's got 118 kills in an La-7, but nothing more even worth mentioning in other fighters. He's a GV'er.

As someone who thus far has done a fair amount of bombing in Lancs and a fair amount trying to shoot them down, I know he was either impatient or doesn't know their (significant) sweet spot; it's not from direct-6 o'clock...

Even more to the story: during this drawn out fight, somehow my drones became separated from me in a way I've never seen. They were significantly below me, 1k according to this guy. I tried mightily to get them to re-form, to no avail, and I believe they went poof. However, this was not his basis for several pm's calling me a cheat and that I'll be reported. It was the 30mils not connecting.

I fly the K-4, I know hitting anything with the 30mils is hard, especially at D300+.

Just don't like being called a cheater, and honestly feel that harassing someone about such should have some consequences if proven to be wrong in their accusation. Are there consequences?

I take it seriously, probably too much, but in my work (and play) integrity is premium and without it I'm out of work.

BTW, he did finally get me in flames, but drones were probably proxy.

TIA,
Rot

First, a post like this isn't good unless you name names ...... so we can all enjoy this 

Second, as your researched showed you, let it go and take it as a compliment if you like. Seeing as you really didn't do anything ....like out maneuver this clown, or out fight him. you probably don't deserve the compliment 

What most likely happened is this clown doesn't understand the drop of the 30m and was just throwing them away. So instead of admitting he himself is an idiot and doesn't know how to aim (nor attack a set of buffs by your description) he takes it out on you to make himself feel better for being an idiot.

If it happens again you can  use the "report" function on the kneeboard. But, like watching someone fall off their bicycle, there is no reason to get mad at them when they blame you. Of course you really shouldn't laugh in their face, wait until your around the corner, or in this case ignore the clown, or use the ".squelch" function and not be bothered with him the rest of your evening.

Judging by some of the "hackusation" PMs I have had HTC must have a load of films of me. Funny, I've never heard back from them though....

I doubt many of these films ever get sent in, even if they existed in the first place. I've flown this game for ten years and have yet to see anything that looked like an opponent cheating, yet some people run into "cheats" all the time. I suspect 99% of this is just bruised egos venting.

Too much of this would be bad for HTC though, some newbie reads constant hacking claims on 200, thinks "oh, that's why I'm getting beaten" and quits the game. I've always tried to reason with people who accuse me and explain why they lost a fight, but some won't have it. Perhaps I should report them for the good of the game.

Network problems may have caused his 30mm hits not to register. I know for a fact that I've blasted lancasters in a 262 with bursts of hits that would down a plane in MG armed planes let alone 30mm - and only to have them lose a flap (if Im lucky) and fly away.

When stuff like that happens it's natural to start to wonder if this was just a freak network accident or something the other player caused on purpose.

   starting crap can have the same affect. How bout we raise above the petty horsecrap in these threads.

The rules are the first thread in each main heading of the BBS, and you can read them any time you like to be sure.

Rule number 8 says....

8- Complaints about a player's behavior online should be emailed to support@hitechcreations.com rather than posted to this board.

so technically you should send the info to HTC. However if you want a good witch hunt you can post the name here and we will all glad drag this clown through the mud for ya

Hell, I've been here 10 years and have only been accused of cheating once. And that was about a year ago. LMAO.

First off. If he remained on your 6 co alt. Then you didnt cheat. He's just stupid
Secondly.. refer to the third sentence above.
