Could someone please explain the following to his Lordship - The Grayclif?:

*How does the game determine who can ditch their plane and tower out without an enemy plane nearby getting awarded the kill, after numerous hits were made on the ditching plane?

This happened early this morning when I scored multiple hits on "Mike51" (member of the The Few squad) and whilst he was 1.0 - 1.5k away on the ground from me, towered out without me getting the proxy. The few (no pun intended) times I have found myself in a similar situation, the enemy always got the kill on me, even if they flew away past 6.0k.

Kindest Regards,

Hail Grayclif
(at ease)

But wait, just a few days ago you told me and many others that you had been in this game since 1999. If that was the case surely you would know how the ditch/capture system works? Then again Mike51 is a member of the Few so in your deluded mind we have super powers and can change the system to suit ourselves. You should really take off your tin foil hat someday.

Also, (as all I hear on 200 is how the mighty have fallen, and how I am not as good as I used to be 10 years ago), well....perhaps that is true. However, I use a 2009 model Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop to run the game. That gives me a frame rate that flucuates from 3-9 on most days. I run the most generic and basic graphics available (and still my planes all have parts that appear bright/neon green)

Gone are the days of 2002 when basic graphics were the norm, there was no "rudder waddle", no ultra sensitive gamma setts, and the only hacking was unlimited ammo.
I ran a Gateway back then with a GForce 3 graphics card/accelerator and had a very high frame rate then. (sigh, wipes tear)

On top of that I have a 2004 model Saitek ST290 pro as a stick. That, coupled with the realistic plane waddle when you use the rudder, (and screwy gamma settings that are ultra sensitive) makes for a very difficult playing scenario. As such the Grayclif will hear no more commentary about my current flying abilities vs 2001-2002.

Garbage.

I was in a Ki and put at least 10-20 rounds into him. He crash landed, and then towered out less than 1.5k from me on the ground, and yes. He was just off his base. Still. I have been in similar situations and the enemy always got the kill regardless

Something that obviously needs addressed.

The only garbage in this post is your lack of understanding of the game mechanics.  Pand and Lusche the Sideswitcher explained it quite well, you're just so caught up with the whole tin foil hat cheat conspiracy that you won't accept anything else that doesn't conform to your paranoid fantasies.

Looks like another one of those posts that didn't go the way the OP intended.

*slaps Pand, Lusche the Sideswitcher, and the rest of you in the face with glove*

The Grayclif asked for clarification and answers, and rec'd only a portion of both. Pox on you all. I shall smite thee with furious anger and retribution shall be mine. Frame rate be dam#$%.

Er...


Ditched / captured.

If you stop successfully on the ground, and are not on a runway/taxiway you are considered to be one of the following, ditched or captured.

If the closest field (vehicle, carrier ,port or airfield ) to you is friendly you are considered ditched and a kill is NEVER awarded for a ditched aircraft.
 
If the closest field (vehicle, carrier ,port or airfield ) to you is ENEMY you are considered captured and a kill is awarded based on most damage , and if no damage was done  proximity.

HiTech

Doesn't get much clearer or complete than that.  Might not be the answer you wanted, but that's how it works.

I am also upset that I am not (after 10 years +) a radioactive or plutonium member.

$15 x 12 = $180

$180 x 12 years = $2,160

Give me a special membership status, and I shall post no more. The Grayclif persona will henceforth be deceased. 200 chat will be no more. And there will be no more hails from me.

Love,

From his posts on FB, to his posts on here, Grayclif is by far one of the most deluded individuals in Aces High today. I guarantee his accusations of imagined cheating will crescendo until Skuzzy will have to take action.
