Rook Lancs playing hide and seek out of map

How did you know they were there?

Nice one Staga!

Current map which puts all important strategic targets to same area near map edges just screams for use of these tactics. I liked the previous map with spread out start targets more but that is only my opinion.

Because I just happened to be in that sector in an M3 and noticed the red dot after I zoomed way in.  It dissappeared after I zoomed back out.  Definately a bug.

I wouldn't have saw it if I was at a lesser zoom.

Quakers. I cant understand how and why HTC still allows such things (like the car-bomb on the rwy and the CV-ack). Pls fix it, it is becoming quite annoying.

Amen Lephturn.  I'll report this kind of stuff (including off-map CV's) to the other side any time I see it.

[wolf37]

easy to fix,  just add 150 miles to all sides of the map. if anybody wants to fly off map then, well have fun. with 150 miles to fly across with radar bar, it will slow this kind of thing down.

and yes cavemanj, I have seen or heard of some Knights that have done this, but I have seen the rooks do it just as much, as well as the Bishops. so dont give the rest of us this crap that you are glad to see the some rooks are suddunly starting to fly like the rest. and that gee we have no pilots again and are getting gangbanged by the mean old Knights. hell, when you where flying for the Knights, you where saying the exact same thing about the Rooks and the Bishops.

well saying any thing more to you cave is nothing but a waste of time.

well if any of you Rooks or Bishops ever see me in  a buff, it will be on the map and about 10k above the acks of what ever field I am going to. I dont need 30k to make it to target, I have a slight idea on how to use the guns.

ROFLMAO!!! You guys are a bunch of idiots giving them a hard time for flying off the map, I bet half of you or more would like to see radar go away period, or would rather fly in an HA with limited radar/icon environment.

Maybe they couldn't get escort? They tried to get to target without being detected,which I'm sure happened everyday in WWII and there were plenty of 'tactics' happening on the ground and in the air to take out enemy radar so just this sort of thing could happen!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that a 'crack radar operator' named Staga was keeping an eye on the 'country situtation'(as every good countrymate should be doing) and saw the formation form up at an airfield and kept an eye on it and discovered their tactic!!!! Jeeeez, sounds just like war to me!

Use your imagination people, otherwise this is nothing more than a game, not an air combat simulation like we all deep down really want!

Get over it and keep your eye's on dar, I do constantly looking for just this sort of thing, it's part of the game and gives it more of a combat simulation environment if you ask me, which you didn't but oh well

G10..the confetti bomb maker.

Whats so sad is the LAnces had not a prayer, 8, or 12, or whatever. Yet the LW's Leather Brigade would say only "CombaTrim" and "balls" would put the .30mm on target.

Nice try Lancs... the real "UberChog" hit you, and it was ugly.

I just love the G10.

I didn't "know" they were there; Just used my brains and lots of gasoline.
If you see a big bar in a field like 50 and then it disappears in 30sec what would be your guess what happened?

[Vermillion]

LOL! Nice work guys.

I don't care who pulls these stupid stunts. Bish, Rook, or Knit. They're all lower than whale sh#t (which is so low its already at the bottom of the ocean).

Basically it just screams out "LOOK HOW PITIFUL MY PILOT SKILLS ARE !!!"

S!

 These "offmap flying"-attacks are quite frustrating.U have a good defence fight going on and suddenly a horde of bombers pop up over the HQ and POOF,no radar anymore.Not a slightest chance to counter the strike if You don't see it forming(at an early stage) and then try to predict the possible alt/heading of the formation flying off the map.Looks like people try to find more "shortcuts" than using better tactics to achieve a goal.

The trouble with off-the-map anything is that it moves the field of play beyond established boundaries. In the case of a/c it might be an intentional/unintentional incursion into "blank" space- for instance if I am being chased by multiple a/c and need to extend some, you bet I would point to the most direct route out of trouble.

What we have here is something entirely different. We have people exploiting a weakness of the system. You can call it smart or heinous, but the point is whether or not this type of play was intended from the beginning, and if not, why it is tolerated. Taking a group of bombers off the map is nothing new; taking the CV off the map has taken the stunt to a whole new level. Now you can drop an entire fleet right next to an enemy base and bring the enemy base under the fleet ack umbrella. This may make the action fast and furious, but something seems seriously wrong about it.

Personally I wouldn't think that you could get a group of people to stay onboard a ship long enough for Gilligan to take the Minnow on a "3-hour tour" of the map, but time and again it has been proven that people will allow their CV's to be tied up in such a manner.

In any event it would seem that since the people intentionally doing this are attempting to bypass an integral part of gameplay they are "gaming the game". Saying that it is ironic that people who complain are largely those that want no dar doesn't wash because these same people want the rules applied equally across the board, not just the edges of the map. I have spent time in the past searching the edges of the map- not a very fun way to spend one's time, IMHO. On top of everything else, when I did find them they were almost always 35K.

Makes you feel like you live in Texas on border patrol against illegal immigrants.

Fixing crap like this is more important to me than new planes.  They can fix sinkholes in the map within 24 hours but they can't fix exploits like this?!?
