I would say at least 25% of the time I get accused of cheating for making "the shot".

Now if I shot down 8k players last year that means I've been accused of cheating a thousand times!

Last year Haggerty said "Its no problem to be the best, but to be so much better than the best is going to bring accusations."

To my haters and accusers...Yall gotta understand your working with limited knowledge of what is possible in the game while remaining satisfied with the absolute dogchit game play and tactics that leads to your own demise.

I'm playing on 2 laptops with mouse and keyboard just wrecking these haters who's only remaining weapon is running their mouths on a smear campaign that carries no evidence.

The amount of guys who park right on a bombers 6 astounds me. Though I must say, you have a far better aim than just about any other bomber pilot. Unfortunately hit % isn't scored in bomber mode. So there is nothing to compare you vs others by hit %.

That being said if a player was using aimbot or something, their hit % would be well in the 30% plus and maintaining that over 20 sorties would be near impossible if they weren't only vulching bombers the whole time. Thst would be how you could tell someone was cheating for the most part, unless they shot into the wind on occasion to mask it.

Does it really matter if you suck at a video game? Asking for a friend  ... you know in the grand scheme of things. Personally I own my suckage hell, I'm known for it but I still sleep well at night

Just shows little egos are everywhere these days and sadly they need constant stroking or they get upset and start making loud squeaky noises...

I agree with you Roc and the age or time been with this game is WAAAY too young to even start explaining cheating crap or anything like that! :uhoh :rolleyes:<S> Morph

There was a guy ranting on 200 couple days back calling a guy a hack.  The hacker about 30 minutes prior was commenting on his mic not working.

I found it funny.  I assumed a guy that could hack a game would be able to troubleshoot a microphone.

If mic is broken, hacking does not help. But yes, I put most of weird shots in a basket called lag, as mine is naturally higher because of distance from server. There are those who increase lag deliberately and benefit from it, but that needs real knowledge of timing, which I do not posses. Once tried via VPN at Training Arena and couldn't hit even stationary targets, let alone moving ones.

It is bit weird to be shot down by a con who's cockpit roof you were watching when hit, but wonderland of internet has many surprises for unaware sloths like me, who's reaction time is calculated rather by calendar. Latest yesterday I was following con who made practically no evading moves. From the D of my gun converge, shooting burst after burst and no hits at all.

There are a few who’s go-to moves are mostly based on exploiting flight model idiosyncrasies.

Are you saying VPN causes lag issues? Because I find it hard hitting flying barn, and think VPN is enabled on that pc. Never thought of it, but it would make sense

Zacherof, who is my nephew, shot down my Dad in Masters of the Air.

He is not One of Our Boys.  He is one them guys we are fighting what are called "The Germans" or whatever.

Treachery, I say!

I allege that Zacherof was using one -- and possibly MORE than one! -- impossible shot to accomplish this foul deed.

Its a outrage!  (To quote yet another Zack.)

It is increasing lag, as signal goes via scenic road instead of straight one.
