Shading....Cheating

[Wizz]

As soon as I have the chance to buy my next pc I will start a 2nd account. This account will be used on the same country as my primary account as a constant start runner or 29 on standby at at for whatever is needed. I could care less if someone shades or not.

I think the question is why are we talking about this?

POTW regularly sends up 262 flights for long range sweeps. At 20k on 6500 rpm, you can fly forever at about 400IA. The K4 was one of our squad mates acting as a scout near a hot zone to vector us in for your bombers. Now this is if it was knights 262 that caught you. We caught a number of B24 flights last night. POTW values the reports of our squadmates and come to their aid or their directions to good eating at all times. Shade accounts for greifing the game more describe someone with a wee willy complex than anything else.

That wasn't us....they fly Knight as well.

Did I miss spy night?

Can someone clarify what these shades are doing to ruin the game?

Too often it seems to be the howling that comes after someones plan not working like they wanted it to.  

If there is something more insidious going on I'd like to know.

fortunately the limits to multiple account sin AH are reserved to intel. in lesser more mainstream MMO's what seems to be treated as a valid game tactic of multiboxing is epidemic.
fortunately the value of this tactic once the battle is started is nonexistant in a sim like this where actual skill matters.

That is unfortunately what it comes down to. One guy flies over 200 feet and a momentary blip is all it takes... Once a base starts flashing is plenty of time to up against a large noe raid and stop it. If you pay attention to the map they're easy to spot.

I've listened to the rantings of Rox for years, gorf seems like he's in a like minded group who all think the only way someone upped to stop them was spying. While this does happen, it's the exception not the norm.

Is Achilles account still active for that matter?

I guess the guys who make B lines to enemy CV locations in the middle of no where on some maps would be an example. I don't think it has a huge impact on game play however.

I guess it's not an example of "ruining" the game so never mind.

CV hunting is the only thing that is a legitimate gripe about shades.  Everything else, if your goon/mission plan doesn't account for enemy finding you, your plan sucks and deserves to fail.

Intresting point =) Someone could have all the intel in the world but they still need the skill to come kill someone else...and its not like that person can't see them coming from 6k away..

Remember a few years ago when it was trendy to park the CVs in the far corners of the map? If these alleged "shades" are sinking them before they can be "saved," I say these "shades" are doing a damn fine job.
