Totally agree there are dedicated strat defenders who are good map and roster readers. Good for them, I do that too. What isn't okay is ppl telling squaddies on other teams what someone is up to and where, and players getting jumped based on that intel.

But that's not the point of this thread. A side-switcher who is usually nit used his rank to try to deny base take of nit to bish. And then broadcast the imminent take on 200 to alert his usual teammates to also try to avert the take. Is this really an acceptable thing?

I don't know but I have killed him in another country. I have gotten behind him,  several times if he had a shade they would have warned way before.

and before I joined my current squad i used to side switch.  only country I had problems was bishops, a few always accused me of being a spy.  some didnt care.  some are just paranoid, i guess.

btw, arent those who sent you the info and took screen shots also your shades?  curious about that.

Is it still 3 x the perkies...  I thought that had changed

Sometimes people just broadcast on 200 to try and stir things up...Why is it so difficult to do things the old way...you know with defenders... it seems to be the way now... stealth takes or none at all... I get sick of upping at a field where there is a plane deacking the field only to run away at the first instance of another player...they don't even finish the task they arrived for...

the person you called out does this type of thing alot he will even broadcast what plane he is in.... he just wants action and he thinks he will destroy you...  maybe he does ..maybe not... but at least he sometimes he gets some action.

Blows my mind that people would rather fight ai guns than interact... although... it is a different story if they have the numbers.... oh boy are they the ace pilot or what

somebody should make a special arena for the undefended base takers... they can roll against the timer... could even make it a squad based competition...  roll up roll up... see who is the best undefended base taking mob...   

I am on auto switch purely because the main time I am on there is one side that has three times the numbers ...and they just roll and roll and roll ... upping against them is futile...but it can be fun just to inconvenience them...even if it is for just one M3 run

How does on opt in to the auto switch? Asking for a friend.

Bring up the clipboard, go into the O'club, select change country, click on Automatically Select Smallest Country. You'll get a warning that you won't be able to switch countries for six hours click accept, and there you go.

This is not the place to make accusations about another player .... Send your complaints to hitech and move on.

The highest levels of integrity for the game can only be achieved by the individuals who participate in it. The lack there of has been an issue for as long as I have played. One must work to achieve such a level of skill as to not be affected by the immoral actions of a few despot players in order to overcome any adversity that might mitigate the outcome of one's objectives and success.

In other words get good and you need not worry if you are shaded or if someone runs a cv into the bottom of the ocean.

If they locked it so that you could not switch sides, one can always figure out a way around it. This happened temporarily some years back and I found a way. I looked into a mirror to see what I saw, took the saw and cut my desk in half, put the two halves back together to make a wHole.... and climbed through it. Pretty simple really.

I'm switching sides almost daily, just looking to put myself into situations with little to no E advantage...  That's pretty easy.  Surviving is hard, but how will I ever improve if I dont try.

But spy? 

I don't give a rats behind who wins a map.  Ever.

I dunno...  I've been ganged and picked by a lot of the "fighters" in the last week....  Same as it was 10 years ago.  Whatever really.  Honestly, I've been surprised by the number of names that I recognize after so long...  Unsurprised that most of them still fly in groups at high altitude to snatch kills from the edges of the furballs...  We all do it.  We all justify it in one way or another.  It's actually more historically accurate, honestly.

Give me a CV offshore attacking an airfield everytime...  Furball excitement, xquick re-ups...  Take chances, enjoy.

I honestly dont understand why anyone wants to spend 10 minutes climbing out to pick low e targets in a furball instead of getting into it and mixing it up...

But thats the great thing about AH3...  Have fun in your own way...  If it pisses me off, I guess I had better figure out how to piss you off back.

I'm ok with that
