Can't remember how many times the nits would come in off the map in the ndisle terrain.  Seemed like a daily occurance.

Can't say I'm happy to see Rooks finally starting to do it though

Just for clarification, Knits took CV to WHITE 2 MILE BORDER of map, and still registered on radar bar when we did launch.

Also, in this terrain, we launched a mission, I ordered everyone to go to the edge of the map where the ground meets the sea, guess what, that area of the map is also in the white border.  They need to either:
A) Take the white border out of the clipboard to show the entire map and keep whiners from saying some are gaming the game.

B)Set up a barrier or wind shear that will not allow the players to do what these pics show.

I have NEVER lead men past the white border on the map on a mission.

Ahoi all,

really hate that off map crap.
Tuesday knights were without radar for about 2 hours, because bishies flew off map raids.
I was a bit frustrated about our blindness, but i didn't even thought about doin the same.For me it shows poor sportsmanship.

To be fair, i must admit that i've seen same behavior at least 1 time  from knits also &  i felt even more bad about it.

I am a Rook and I agree with Zigrat and Lephturn.

But keepin mind, this isn't a "Those Rooks are cust cheating dweebs" issue, its a "There is an exploit that weak players will use to game the game" issue.

This ain't unique to Rooks, so lay off.

Well, the standard AH line applies here....
"It's their 30 bucks".

As long as a game can be gamed it will be.
 
Perhaps HTC will fix it..."In two weeks".

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

[Animal]

Hey post their names please.

And why arent they showing up in this thread?
I tell you why because they are friggin embarrased to be themselves right now  

LOL and its not like it was two bombers, it was a bunch of frigging bombers who couldve defended themselves easily.

So.. just to check here...

Nobody posting derogatory comments in this thread has:

• Shown up at a field because they heard it was needing to be vulched.
• steaked out a spawn point
• not cared that they were downing more friendlies than enemies in a ship gunner position
• ever used sector bars as a pre-cursor to try to decide what base to sneak
• ever driven a panzer up to an undefended enemy field, taken all the ack down, then exited on the enemy runway only to bring an m3 back 10 mins later and capture the field
• ever utilized a quirk in the FM they new to be unrealistic simply because it was possible
• ever bailed to deny someone a kill
• shot a chute
• ever ben in a headon
• ever <insert dweeby thing of the week>.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.  I just love it when the community comes together to condemn others for playing the game.

I made an off the map run in a lanc the other day. Took off from 50 stayed low and headed east. Once I got off the map I turned north and climbed for an hour. Came back in the map right next to Knight HQ and unloaded 13k on it. One lone soul did up and chase me most of the way back home but I killed him when he caught up to me. Off the map is part of the  Arena. Was every square mile of the world under constant Radar coverage in WW2? I think its a realistic part of the game. I'll kill Knight and Bishop BAstiges anyway I can. Our scientists are working on a new uber weopon called v2 and also a bomb we call "fat man". We'll give you something to WHINE about

Geez Louise,

Lay off Animal you are looking for a witch hunt and this could start an ugly trend.  Every time some whiner gets beaten they will be posting (Im telling Im telling!.  Cheating as Staga and others myself included call it is in the eyes of the players. People will exploit flight models when they can, and will do what they want to do with their 30 dollars a month even if it is considered unethical.  When the developer wants this nonsense stopped they will address it. I permanently squelch 1 know to refrain from the bull crap accusations.  In the past my adrenaline would be so pumped and if i got waxed and in m my eyes the waxer did something that was perceived as cheating would be flamed.  I cannot take back what I did just wont do it anymore.

Solution to the problem would be Historical arena for rules and ethics.

MA for no holes barred kill em all by whatever it takes dweebishness.

I hate Off-the-map flying, and I think HTC should fix it ASAP.

Cheers,

I second that motion.  We play on the map.  Period.  Fly off map in a huge Lanc formation?  Bye bye, banned for a week (or something).  Apparently the concept of sportsmanship is varied in here.  Some are ticked people do this, while others are ticked they were CAUGHT doing this and see no wrong in it.  I'm all for playing by the rules, if some can't do that, cya.

My 2 cents.

Is the topic without merit for discussion?

It doesn't matter what other ways people exploit a loophole (if this even indeed unintentional, which I am not sure is the case), the concern is whether this is intended or should be allowed if it is not.

* No, I dont head to a field just because there is a vulch fest going on.

* Yes, on the beta map I staked out a spoune point to kill the loser ostwinds.

* The couple times I have been in gunner position, I dont think I hit a think.

* Yeah, I look to see what base we should be attacking or defending, dont care if there are cons in the area. they will show up regardless.

* Yes, have taken a panzer to enemy field and taken out acks, ditched, returned in a m3. I think twice I made the capture with out any cons seeing the bar in sector and upping to stop me.

* Dont know, I dont know enough about the FM of any one plane to know if it is realistic or not.

* NO, I have never bailed to deny somebody a kill, I have always tried to fight it out or try to hide if I can.

* Yes, I have shot some chutes, hopfully, yours will be the next.

* Yes, I have been in a HO.

So now AKDejaVu, why have you not answered your own queston.

As far as their pilot skills are concerned...there is no night.  The Lanc is a night bomber.  They can't use this air craft in the environment it was ment for.

Prolly cuz he's not the one running around with his panties up his bellybutton complaining someone flew into a viable part of the arena. Oh no!! You say radar doesn't go there?

In case ya'll didn't know this: You *CAN* FORCE boundaries onto a terrain. In these boundaries, the world ceases to exist and the terrain or water is never draw. If you fly into this boundary, you are forever stuck like a fly on fly paper.

So lesse, some guys took a raid off the map. You all found and intercepted them. How many bombs hit their target?

Oh thasss ri'... NONE. The harm was? You got some kills in your weiner planes and fun was had by all.

There are no "Rules", there are no set boundaries, and there sure as hell isn't any reason they couldn't or shouldn't fly off of the portion of the terrain afflicted by radar.

If you don't want peeps getting out of radar range, might I suggest you ask HTC to build 40K high mountains around the edges? Or terminate the world at the edges so planes can't escape the grip of the twilight zone?

Of course not, lets just fuggin' whine 'bout it.
