Frustrated

[socktigs]

Hello Folks,

ISSUE:
Today in tank hiding in clump of trees 5K away from enemy plane taking off.  He flew to my position and bombed me very fast.  Seemed suspicious... how could he see me so fast. 

I watched the video and on his screen I was floating above the trees, so he could easily see me.  I was also superimposed on his aircraft when its structure was covering me.  So when his wing went over my tank it looked like a little tank on his wing.

I am looking to understand if this is a video card\setup issue?
An issue with the AH filming mechanism and the viewer?
Is this a cheat?

I don't want to falsely accuse\assume yada yada yada...

Any explanation that could be shared would be helpful.

Thank you.

There are three players I know that can find  a tank buried six feet under.    Only one player can do it 100% of the time.

But, if you get lucky, you can stumble across an almost well hidden tank on the first  pass.

And, someone could have filmed you. 

There has always been a suggested software that will allow one brand  of video card to see through anything.  Not sure if it ever was a true thing.

The visual overlay you see in your own films is just how your plane/tank is always displayed to be visible in your own film.  What you really need is the other player's film because you may have been more visible than you thought.

Having said that, some players are pretty good about spotting GVs.  Some players may log to check film.  There are many accusations tossed about, but when it comes to spotting GVs (or shooting/seeing thru hills/trees), unlike hiding in buildings, there's no conclusive proof of sketchy-ness.

There are issues with the film viewer. I have been going through a lot of digging to figure out what is causing it. The short of it is I think it wasnt updated along with the game through the years. I only play Aces High. When going through films for my youtube videos I was running into more and more graphic anomalies and crashes. I ended up dialing back my video card driver to one from over 3 years ago in stead of the NVidia one that is out now. I can run most films with out issues these days.

The film viewer uses your game software to run the film. When you jump into another players plane/gv you only get an approximation of the film as you werent IN the other players plane/gv. The "suspension above the trees" is a graphical issue due to the driver issue. As others have said spotting GVs is an art. Some are very good at it. Others will film, log out of the game (because you cant run the game AND the film viewer at the same time) view the film, log back in and go to the place you are hiding to find you.

Nothing real nefarious...... unless you were being a pain in the butt

Thank you for info.

I recall back in the day that there were a very limited number of players that did seem to have an uncanny ability to find you even though you were well hidden and far away from their spawn point. Like they were using drones to spot you. It got to the point that when they showed up at a particular base that ditch the gv and get plane as they could knock out 2 or 3 well hidden tanks right quick somehow. Not trying to explain anything. I'm just sharing that I experienced the same kind of thing but with other tankers.

Even if I do not see you, you are in danger if I am flying in your area. I fall out of the sky all the time. Trees try to move when I fly over them. If not my whole plane, then the many parts that fall off of it for one reason or another.
