Author Topic: Landing kills at an enemy base (Read 399 times)

Yes it can be done. I saw it happen. I filmed it. Now I want to know how this little miracle is accomplished so that I too may enjoy bagging a few skins in a Flak vulching a runway, get shot up and disabled by a Yak-t, and still get credit for all my hard work.

C'mon, whats the secret, you can tell me...

But seriously, it did happen, last night, and I want to know if it's already a known bug of some kind before I waste my time burning a 6MB film file to a CD and mailing it to Texas for review.

Got any ideas? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Thanks.

Speaking of bugs, I got this email about a new virus, watch out for it;

There is a new virus. Its code name is WORK.

If you receive WORK from your colleagues, your boss,
via e-mail or any other means, do not touch it under any
circumstances. This virus wipes out your private life completely.

If you should happen to come in contact with WORK, follow
these steps:

1. Put on your jacket and take two colleagues and go straight
to the nearest bar.

2. Order ten drinks and drink them one right after the other
as fast as you can.

You will find that WORK has now been completely deleted
from your brain.

Forward this virus warning immediately to at least 5 friends.
Should you realize that you don't have 5 friends, this means
that you are already infected by this virus and WORK already
controls your whole life.

Might be a map bug somehow... this map is still working out a lot of its kinks (gameplay, cough).

Also possible he was on a friendly GV spawn point?

Where was the plane/vehicle located when it ditched/landed?

You used to be able to land successfully on enemy fields in prior versions. It was removed some months ago though so I guess you've stumbled upon a bug.

The Flak had positioned itself near a runway (to do a little vulching I imagine) when I appeared overhead in me little Yak and unloaded several rounds of 37mm into the top. On the next pass I popped a track and flew off, he was done and I waited for credit. I circled the base waiting for the player to end and when he did he got credit for 2 kills. He wasn't on a rearming pad, he wasn't on the runway, and he wasn't near a hanger. I had a good run going and had gotten that same player twice already just over the hill at the GV spawn point. With AH2 on the horizon (2 weeks away) I wonder if it's worth the trouble to send this in.

Thanks for all the replies
