CHEATER and i got it on film!
« Reply #45 on: June 16, 2000, 03:50:00 PM »
Not sure what to make of it either...

1st - He flies low through the base ack, where all ack at base was shooting at him

2nd - Ziggy absolutely pasted him, then flew alongside for a long time

3rd - Ziggy pasted him again, this time he got Ziggy and still died after Ziggy

The B-26B did not seem to lag at all, judging by the tracers and the smoothness of flight.  Got me on this one.

I take it back, watched it again, the Ack didn't touch him.

Zig starts a fuel leak (White) in the left engine.

He then removes the wing beyond the left engine.

He then walks his firing across the back of the plane.  Hits the right wing root, and then travels outward along the wing. He gets about 2/3rds of the way out, and starts walking his fire back.  The wing folds back toward Zig, you see two "Phantom" flashes where the wing was.  Then the rest of the left wing breaks away.

Speed and momentum carry Zig past the now wingless B-26 which has four smoke trails one on each side of where the engines were.

Zig pulls up, gets set up for another pass, this takes about 15 seconds.  Zig turns in and makes a great shot, about three rounds which remove the tail and elevators.

He continues in, turns around to the left, and zigs left wing is removes by the left waist gun of the now smoking wingless and tail less B-26.

THis guy had to miss at least four damage packet updates from Zig.

Also, I really reccomend you use the Trails, the B-26 is not flying straight and level, or even climbing straight.  The Plane continues to manuver despite the damage?

I wonder what the story is.

Zig is a hell of a shot, watch his ammo counters too.

Very well said Westy.

ok Dnil, we both agree that we weren't talking about the same thing?  


DISCLAIMER** The following opinion was formed over the last few days in the arena. This isn't directed to zigrat, he is a nice guy and a great pilot.

I'm just one of the guys who is damn sick of hearing dweebs on channel 1 after losing every fight claiming *suspicious things*.

Like,
Hey! nice warp!
Theres no way he did that!
I woulda had you if you hadn't warped so much!

Those kinds of statements after losing a fight show a complete lack of class and sportsmanship in my opinion. If a guy warps terribly, politely mention on channel 1 that he may have a connx prob. Any pilot with a brain will relog. The others are probably such bad sticks you could ignore 'em anyway.  

If a guy warps badly, disengage and politely make him aware of it. Don't continue after him like a neandrathal then spew garbage on channel 1 after he kills ya.  

*** Again this aint intended to ziggy, some new dude named 6guns is one who comes to mind.   ***

Just getting your goat is the  only reward i need. As far as being a simpleton yep i am. This simpleton giggles when i check your progress in ah.This peasent could help you alot regardless of how well i spell or my poor grammer. I love when guys who think smarter than me cant play a game as well. Btw monty python has aged poorly if you want to compare me to something compare me to a character in the kids in the hall. Im crushing your head! Im crushing your head! HA HA!

Question: I sit here and play my game and sometimes things look strange e.g. Tonight I'm 300 yards behind the guy giving him a hail of 30mm cannon rounds and I get squat.  Though I've had computers since '81 I haven't the slightest idea about what UDP is but have heard of TCP.  I haven't seen anything from HTC on these subjects or for that matter anything about how they program this awesome toy.  How do you guys know the specifics of what these guys are using and the pros and cons of each.  Is there any benefit to knowing this, is there anything we can do with this knowledge to improve our performance?

AH uses both UDP and TCP. If the UDP packets don't work it switches to TCP mode. This occurs if you are behind a firewall (like I am).

Question is does it advantage/disadvantage me? I have always seen the 'rubber bullets' thread but have never had this issue. Likewise I have been with other guys who have been unable to ping a plane yet I have been able to take them out no problems.

Could it be that my forced TCP mode ensures all my bullet packets going to the server guarantees hits are registered properly?

The only conclusive way to finish this is to get a film from the guy in the B26, I think. If he'd care to step forward that is.

adding a CRC won't help because you are modifying the network packets the game sends, not the game itself.  it's fairly easy to do if you have knowledge of networking programming and unix (can't do this on a windows box!).  i have to modify packets myself in order to route them through my firewall.  but i don't cheat; check out my score for proof. :-)

Gent's this could happen with the damage packets being held up getting to the b26.

He could still be recieving the positional updates but if one tcp packet is deleayd with posible multiple retransmits it is consivable for a huge lag. Did he die later?

Another possible connection related weirdness would depend on whether he had a gunner or not.
