A perspective on "Hacking"

[Citabria]

never saw a plane in AH that did anything out of line with the FM.
lag occasionally a problem but never in on demand warpers did i find.

all that should have died often did. other times they saved themselves with better tactics or skill.

cept for a lancaster that found a way to teleport from place to place.
he was hard to shoot down.

there is no cheating in aces high

Deluded rubbish. I have it on film and it is corroborated by 4 other pilots - Toad saw the same guy in a later incident.

This was less than a month ago.

HT has dealt with it, AFAIK.

Secondly, remember the P51 which could drop never-ending 4000lb bombs or the B26 which was stuffed with troops?

It has happened before, and it will happen again.

only prob imho with cheating and hacking is the more we speak about it, the more people will try to use it so they can get some attention on this BBS.

a cheater will in most cases have very low skills so he wont be too much of a danger unless he manages to code a glue gun or some
spiderman sticky stuff that will make me tow him behind me

if i see too much warps or intentional ones i just disengage...i dont even comment

these b26 fulla bombs and troops can grab some fields etc..but they will always werk alone and wont accomplish too much without assistance.Noone here will help them anyway.

So i guess the best approach is just ignore
em and report stuff if ya manage to film it

my 2 cents

yep, the more you whip up the hackers ego with topics as this, the more time they spend trying to break it for the fame. I can say I haven't experienced anything I'd call hacking or cheating yet. Warping I blame on the net, the rest on my poor marksmanship

Deja,

I remember you from the FC days (along with some of the other AK's).

I also remember the accusations that started flying around. Didn't believe em then, & still don't.

Yes I've died a thousand times to Mitsu, Torque, GTR, etc. They EARNED each & every one of them. <S>

If you have proof, send it to HTC. IF you don't, hold your cards close to your chest till you get it!

Most of the time my netlag is in the area of 0,3 to 0,5 seconds.
 That netlag is more than enough for me to see con in my crosshair, sure to get a hit - however, in reality the plane has already left my gunsite. Thus I get no kill when I was sure to get it.

 That could not be further from truth. Reality has no meaning in that context. You are not shooting at another plane. You are shooting at a representation of a plane as your front end sees it. And what it sees, it displays. So if the plane is in your crosshairs, that is where you are aiming.
 If you see the hit sprites, that means you are hitting. All hits and damage are determined on the shooting plane front end.

 There may be three reasons for you not getting the kill:
 1. You see the hit sprites but the packets with damage are lost. If your or his connection are bad, that may happen. You would see warpiness in that case.

 2. You are shooting but the plane leaves the crosshair by the time bullets arrive to your aiming point.

 3. You are not using the right amount of lead.

LOL! this is a great statement.  I read it 5 different times.

Led

Led

He means Leed! I don't know why it never occured to me that the two words were spelled the same.  Not until I saw it in a situation where both words would fit.

Of course, you can never use enough lead.
