No more rank for me, I withdraw from the competion

After learning of Cheating going on for the rank thing I have decided that after busting my baalls to get in the top 5 that I am not going to stup to this leval of game play and will no longer play for rank in the MA, in fact I will most likely only play in the CT from this point on.

Cheating like hacks or cheating in the sense of gaming the game and exploiting certain 'weaknesses' of the game?

I have heard of a certain player that flies for the Bishops that's ranked in the Top 5 that takes advantage of certain loop holes to gain rank.

But look on the bright side of things.  If someone is caught actually cheating they could possibly be prosecuted for fraud.  Since money is now being given away and someone cheats in order to win that money, it can be considered fraud.

Wonder if it's possible if the same thing applies to the guy that sits parked in a P-47 inside of a friendly hanger firing at the walls to increase his hit percentage to gain better rank?  While it's not cheating in the sense of using a hack but rather taking advantage in ranking loop holes to gain better rank.  Which is the same thing as cheating.

I changed my play style earlier in the tour (and learned some exploits) and made to 8th place.  Continued the vulch/tricks for a bit and held it easily, got extremely bored with AH in the process.

I'm gonna let it go too, it was seriously killing the fun.

Now that I'm liberated, think I'm gonna go fly some p40b sorties and up from some capped bases ;).

I'm stubborn.... I'm in it for the rank till the end of this tour.  So far I'm number 6 and I don't *think* I've involved myself in any super 'gamey' tactics.  Haven't been playing a whole lot though.

The only place where rank means anything is in the H2H (Dueling) ladder...

Even h2h rank maybe cheated.  Call a friend and get em to die for you a few times then next month do the reverse for your friend.

But the MA rank isn't all about killing and being killed, a good bomber/goon rank rank still takes some skill to get.

I still wonder what all this fuss is about a 100 bucks... I mean... I usualy manage to spend that in less than a minute :confused:

Anyway, never cared about it, never will (that is, untill they add at least 2 digits to that)

This could be a really huge problem. Tell ur friend to change sides and die for u a lot so all ur K/Ds went up. I hope HTC has something top prevent this.

Squadie of mine was driving a GV into an enemy base and observed a dude in a Hurri I (he thinks) pinging these Lancs lightly and watching them auger. This was repeated many times before he got to the base and started wasting stuff. They/he left.



This was BEFORE the contest was announced!
