Voss is just mad cause he was shot down over and over again at P39. I have to thank him for the target practice there in his B17's that were 500 feet from the deck. Then all I get from him is "WAA WAA WAA you killed me I'm telling." He is the biggent whiner I have ever seen lol!

Well, if you addressing my comments, understand this: Taking advantage of a bug is going to happen. It sure as hell isn't cheating either. It may not be very sportsman like, but it's a far cry from cheating. So, I'd relax on the vitriol a bit if I were you. Okay, you got whacked by a dead ack, big deal. If that ruined your day, you may want to reconsider your personal priorities.

Also, if you think HTC is going to penalize anyone for taking advantage of this bug, think again. I'll bet a hundred or more guys took advantage of it. All three sides were doing it, no one broke or re-wrote code to do it either.

We had a bug exploited by dozens of players in the CT. It was unfortunate, but it wasn’t cheating and no one was penalized, scolded or otherwise reprimanded by HTC. They didn’t create the bug, they merely used it to their advantage.

Think of it this way. Auto racing organizations have specific rules governing what can and cannot be done to racecars. Should someone find a loophole in the rules that allows them to use a more efficient cylinderhead, and therefore have a faster car, are they cheating? Frankly, no, they are not cheating. Race driver Mark Donahue wrote about his years with Penske Racing and their extraordinary ability to find loopholes in the rules. He titled it “The Unfair Advantage”. What we have with this bug is an “unfair advantage”, nothing more.

As it is, the bug in question has likely been fixed by now. So, go back to doing your thing, whatever that may be and don’t be so fast to call people cheaters.

My regards,

Widewing

Ghost Try posting on topic. I never called anyone a cheater or a cheat.

My point and topic was abusing a bug. No honest person should abuse bug. . When HTC staff thinks its not okay.

Widewing i got you confused with Ghost the ta trainer

first bgbmaw wasn't suicideing anything. Killed VH and all ack was dead so I went low to see why we were all getting killed by MTWD81st HEFF and USAGirl. I went low to see where thier Gv's were hidden. Then and only then Did most of us find out about bug. And all I said to 81st was abusing a bug is against coc . and That I was making a flim on what was going on.

Some fly with dignity and then some fly for MAWS, you should get 81st in your squad it seems they fit in your squad well.

First, you are correct, you never actually called anyone a "cheater" as some others did, you merely implied that at worst they cheated, or at best they were less than sportsman like. The post is dead nuts on topic, it addresses the over-reaction to a very minor incident, coming about via the occasional bug caused by a reset. It happens, it'll happen again, I'm sure.

Second, I see your point (and I suggest a tall hat

), however, I am not a trainer, nor is my CPID "Ghosts". I in no way speak for HTC nor represent them whatsoever (man, I'll bet that sent a shiver down HiTech's spine

). My opinion is solely my own, but probably does represent the opinions of many players who find this whole thread to be way over the top.

As to the bug, I have seen HiTech come in on a weekend to fix reset bugs, so rest assured that it will be fixed ASAP.

My regards,

Widewing

all this from the same squad that got all haughty when shane called ice on his BS "here's some more cheats we'll use"?

what happened to conducting yourselves with respect in the community - or is that just the current recruiting line to keep the warm bodies coming in?

Last nite i jumped in ack at 69 to ward off incomeing nit lemmings
and noticed the gunsite missing !!!! WTF i thought to myself.
So i landed and jumped back into it,same thing again ,no site.
I then pulled trigger and it fired,ok cool must be gunsite glich.
so i fired a few rounds and positioned my mouse curser as a
gunsite and it worked great

I got 26 kills and ran out of ammo,landed them went back and got 10 more.my adventure ended when base was finally overwhelmed:( After this i got some flak from a nite or to on how i was cheating,and a few congrats
buy some that did the same thing(they too were nits )
Look at it this way field gun kills dont count for any score or rank so nothing was gained xcept lotsa nit plane and gv parts laying around v69:D

I reported this in the correct forum - Bug Reports. As I stated in there, they may not have even known what was happening until half way thru their gunning. Sure it's upsetting. But, I can't believe so many are making such a big deal about a bug that HTC will fix like all the other past and future bugs. All you whiners about this problem be sure to cancel your second accounts tomorrow that you use for spying on other countries.
