Weird thing happened to me in MA
« on: March 10, 2002, 01:50:34 PM »
There i was flying along looking for a fight between a9-153 when i spot a low spit, so i dive down and bounce him.  *BOOM*  off come his wings,  so i decide to fly level and watch him burn to the floor.  However this spit carries on flying as if nothing happened shooting at someone infront of him.  So i barrel roll and get on his 6 and unload more 20mm and some .303 for good measure.  Already thinking something isn't quite right i stop and watch this spit fly on.  2 friendly p51's bounce him and lay in behind his 6 and probably shot the living daylights outta him.  

After 5 minutes of watching this spit furball with about 6 cons on him he finally augers and i get the kill.

I wasn't the only one who saw as a wingless, flaming plane dogfighting.  People who were trying to shoot him down also saw him flying wingless- very odd indeed.

HT you may wanna check your logs between 7:15pm- 7:20pm GMT.  Cause something very odd was going on.

i'm not saying the guy (not gonna put his name up, unless HT needs it or something) was cheating, it could have been a bug, general net weirdness etc etc.

i had somethin wierder than that happen to me once. i was flyin around in a g6 with the taters loaded. come up behind an la7 and ping 'em with a tater right at his wing root. his wing falls off and he's crashing towards the water, next thing ya know his wings back on and he's flyin around killing people.

i dont have a film and i couldnt prove it so i was stuck. personally i think it was a hack but. no flim...no proof. so i spared myself from making a fool of my self claiming "cheater".

Had this last week. Was flying in a La7 and  snuk up on an P51 and shot his wings off. I broke off trying to find a good seat to watch the plane crash. However the P51 broke off, started turning and the next thing i knew i was being chased by a burning rocket what once used to be a P51. I actually dogfighted the smoking arrow and it wasnt untill i pinged it again that the thing actual went down... Kinda scary :)

FWIW,

Friday night just before the TOD I saw a couple of hackers in the TA. Panzers moving faster than planes and making instant direction changes with cannon firing faster than an Osti. I filmed then called HTC. I got HT on the phone and he checked. The hackers were booted very quickly. HT said he checks the hack log every couple of days. If you see something like this you might want to film, get the names and call HTC on the phone.

Ah right, yeah i've got it on film.  Although i doubt it's of any use anymore if what you are saying is right, Maverick.  HT has already probably already checked logs to see if it was hack (which i think it was) or a bug etc etc.
