Title: The integrity of the game and players is lost
Post by: DmonSlyr on April 16, 2024, 10:12:41 PM
Unfortunately, the game no longer exist as it once did. We have a kill board that tells everyone who shot who, we have a DAR that gives away positions too easily. And now we have an abusive sociopath and his squad who play endless hours raking up kills in rocket planes with multiple accounts who switch just to target players and gang and harass them regardless of the war or battle. Skyyr goes where I go, switch in a moment, switch twice in 15 minutes to 2 teams on the front I'm at. Roll and go right for me every time I spend an hour to play the game. His squad on my team while he goes to the other. This is absolute pettiness.
IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU WANTED HITECH? YOU WANT SOCIOPATHS TO RUN OFF LONG TIME PLAYERS? IM TIRED OF THIS BULCH$T. I KNOW MANY OTHERS ARE TOO. THE 8 SHADE ACCOUNTS AREN'T GONNA BE ENOUGH HERE PRETTY SOON ALLOWING THIS.
YOU ARE LOSING MANY OF YOUR LONG TIME SUBS BECAUSE OF THE DERANGEMENT AND OBSESSION THIS PLAYER HAS WITH ME AND OTHERS TO TORMENT AND RUIN THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH GANG STALKING TACTICS. I DEMAND A RESPONSE FROM YOU ABOUT THIS ABUSIVE SHADING AND SQUAD TARGETING THAT I AND OTHERS HAVE MULTIPLE EXAMPLES OF. THIS IS RUINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME AND GAMEPLAY.
I NO LONGER ENJOY PLAYING WHEN AN AZZH0LE SWITCHES TO EVERY FIGHT IM AT EVERY SORTIE I FLY ONCE I GET A KILL. IM DEFENDING MY FIELD AND HE SWITCHES TO COME GANG ME ON BOTH FRONTS WITHIN 10 MINUTES. I WILL NON STOP POST ABOUT THIS UNTIL THIS COMES TO AN END. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE GAMEPLAY AND I WONT STAND FOR IT.
THIS IS A FORMAL COMPLAINT.

This, kids, is why weed is bad for you.
Every time we've fought, it's been on the same front with me fighting you on a single side, never two, with a lone exception: Last tour, YOU switched fronts after I did and you came after me. Let me repeat that: you came after me, you died, and then you proceeded to throw profanities for 10+ minutes on 200. I'll repeat that once again: I've NEVER encountered you on multiple fronts, save for the single time you purposely came after me when I switched. And I'll gladly upload the encounter if you'd like to claim that's false.
Please post film showing otherwise. Just one film. You can't. Every encounter we have had has been on one account, on one front.
Your entire rant of a post seems to be upset more with the fact that I could potentially run into you, than it is the fact I've never encountered you in the same 6 hour period on different accounts (save for the single example where YOU came after me on purpose). Even tonight, you harassed me repeatedly. I even made sure to .report you so Hitech had a chatlog of it. Unfortunately for you, I was streaming the ENTIRE TIME after I switched to my other account and it shows the same thing. You die repeatedly to other players I'm nowhere near, then you errantly tell me to leave the country I'm on, when I was engaged in a completely different fight. You then cursed at me over 200 (which you also did before when we had our single encounter immediately prior).
Here's the stream: https://www.youtube.com/live/2vWcJqwpE5E?si=XXF1aKCizVMosMni
You'll see the side-switching is completely for ONE purpose: to find fights. I was never near you at any point once I switched accounts. Also, 3 players have returned and 2 more are on the fence because of my streams. Two others even came to the forums. What have you done to help the game? You're literally doing nothing lately but making hack accusations and cursing every time you log on, both on vox and 200.
I'll wait for the film you can't produce.
Don't do drugs, kids.

I think you're mistake here sir is thinking that HT cares. I haven't seen anything that would make me think he did in a loooong time. Most of the remaining players have 2, 3 or maybe 4 accounts. Look at the ones that admit it. Skkyer has at least 3 he admits to. The bomber sharp shooter guy says he has 2 but he's gonna have 4 soon. When I was playing there were a few that admitted their shades in confidence. Pretty soon it will be 10 players with 4 accounts each making up the bulk of the planes in the air. I think the money is the same for HT and I'm guessing if it was one guy paying for 100 accounts he'd be ok with it. lolz :)
Maybe the goal of Skyyers squad is to run everybody off so they can play with themselves?
P.S. Stop being so mean Skyyer. You Meanie!
Not sure I'd find this as humorous if I was still a paying player...

All I can say, the friendly atmosphere what I faced as a newcomer just few years ago, it is mostly gone. And it went down fast, in just some months. Exists still (mostly) inside the country. Deja vu from Warbirds.
I could make a list of reasons for this phenomenon, as MHOs, but it would again trigger tit-for-tat style nose punching and other kindergarten style acts, so I let everyone make their own conclusions. But a lot has changed since I stepped in. Sometimes really hard to believe, these are adult, grown up persons behind the behavior.

Yeah, this multiple accounts on each country is kind of lame, especially when one of them is a tower queen in the area that your squad mate on the other team is killing people like was happening yesterday.

Lies from a sociopath.
You deserve harassment for harassing me if Hitech doesn't do anything about it. I will. You switch and come to every fight I'm at and engage me. You need help. You clearly know what you are attempting to do and yet you play it off like a sociopath pretending you aren't doing anything nefarious.
Lies from a sociopath. You aren't switching for the "fight". You switch to find me and HO and gang. Your only 2 kills as Skyyr since you've returned were switching and HOing me on the first pass. You are a liar and fraud as I have over 6 or 7 examples of you switching or going out of your way to find me and engage me.
I had thought last night that the 190D on bish was you when i switched fronts, since you switched to Bish after I moved there and went to fight. Turns out it was Bgoldy flying exactly like you. However, you still switched to Bish and probably would have rolled had I got a kill. Multiple team switches in 15 minutes or so, claiming it's "for the fight". When you switched to a team that was capping a field to engage me over my own base at the exact alt I'm at. Okay buddy.
The really hilarious thing is, the tally vs skyyr since his return in Nov is actually 2-2. Every time he tries to switch and jump me, he fails. 6 or 7 examples now of this guy flailing to try to kill me with advantage. The only 2 times he killed me were direct HOs to the face. "The fight" he claims. He switches to the team on offense and claims it's for the fight. This is blatant lying.

And it's not just me.
It's Nrshida, Eagler, Rotbaron, Simon, Dolby, Lilmak, many Muppets and countless others you've ran off over the years with your obsession and derangement. The 3 you may bring in from youtube doesn't compare to the drop in #s we've seen and I know you and your squad is part of it. They may stay for a month, but you've succeeded in making long time subs quit the game.
Oh I have plenty of film and countless examples. Just have to find time to post them.

You mean the Muppets who made countless posts about how they were going to grief me? The same ones that made multiple posts, demanding I fight them? The ones that attempted to humiliate Kruel and I, then went ballistic when they lost? Lol this is literal irony.
Here's a reminder of those "poor Muppets" and who started it, lol: https://rutube.ru/video/b1565b69435559babb1d6b77b8b9b124/
It's kind of funny that the guys who set out to make someone quit the game ended up quitting the game because of that same guy, according to you. I'm going to print and frame this post, I'm not even joking lol.

This stuff literally breaks my heart! 2 players, YES Skyyr and Violator...2 of the most, well more than 2,but these fellers have influenced my AH progress/Fun ....eh, I dont have the words to explain what I am trying to convey. This community saved me! Diagnosed with MS 2002.....SSI Disability2007...House fire 2013....Neighbor who had Satellite TV, let us stay in their house, which was for sale... Military Channel Add 2013. 1stpar3-BW1stpar-ULCapkid was born/saved! It was a perfect situation. From that situation to this stuff, NOW? Really? I don't understand THE WHY. It is a game! No harm? No foul? I honestly don't get it! The animosity escapes my understanding I guess?

Just yesterday I saw an 190a5 I was in a 109g2. Before I realized who he was this a5 below me turned leading me away from the rest of my group. After successfully coaxing me away I dove and found myself in a furball I thought I did ok and held my own for a few seconds and he eventually lit my tail feathers on fire. Saw that it was SkyyrIII gave him a salute got another beer and went back to relaunch. Life is good.

Peak cringe here. I seem to remember the Muppets very clearly threatening to run Skyyr out of the game because he refused to turnfight with them and would shoot them in the face in the MA. Then, they made multiple posts claiming he sucked 1v1 and they demanded he duel them. Then they got embarassed when he stomped them in those duels because they never realized how good he was 1v1.
Now you're claiming the Muppets quit because of Skyyr? Oh this is glorious.
The posts they made about Skyyr on their secret skwad forums were the wet dreams of paranoid skitzos. They constantly plotted how to get rid of him. Welp, looks like that backfired.

That 40 page post of Hitechs mistake of letting you back proves that dozens of players think you do and have done shady stuff here and other games and many were very disappointed about this horrible decision. Now we can see that you haven't changed and are still doing the same crap as before. Destroying the integrity of the MA and targeting specific players repeatedly and chasing them around the map to their fights.
I'm about done with Aces high since there is 0 strategy anymore with kill message, dot dar, consistent ganging, dweeb squads, and lack of war strategy effort, and now it's really not fun getting chased around the map by a sociopath and his squad every time I get a kill.

Another Skyyr post :(
Violator, I love you, bro. We've grown up together in this game. I understand your frustration, I do, but posts like this aren't going to help. Take a step back and look at what this game has provided us, and continues to provide us, and do not let one player determine your fun. Take this from someone that doesn't have a dog in the fight.
I hope you stick around.

Yeah, it's provided me a lot over the years and one thing I can guarantee is that I've paid more money than Skyyr over the months ive played. It's a shame it's come to this but skyyr is just the icing of a few other things that I'm getting tired of. Besides the gameplay and war strategy issues I'm seeing, the rubber bullets phenomenon I have is also really pissing me off but I'm not sure if it's a HTC thing or what even though my internet seems strong. It seems like bullets I shoot in a lead where I can't see the bullets hit, aren't doing strong damage. I notice in my videos of me hitting planes in a lead and doing no damage. I watch countless bullets hit planes and they just fly away or continue easily fighting me. This gets me picked and ganged and it's hard to enjoy that.
Sorry Banshee but nope, I will keep posting until Hitech gives me and the community a response to this. I will not not let this slide. Multiple posts about him are for a reason and added up you can see a trend that people are fed up with his crap.
One player is determining my fun when they switch and target me EVERY TIME I PLAY for 30min I get time to play, the second I get a kill and it shows up any time of the day because he never logs off. I watch him do it every time. I don't play this game to have HO fights with Skyyr every sortie because of his sick deranged kill count and trying to target me and get a kill count and try to ruin my sorties.
Again, no player in Aces High history has ever gamed the game this way to target players and it needs to be addressed.

That last part is the problem Banshee. It’s not continuing to provide the fun they used to have when they’ve become a target of Syyr the sociopath. He truly is. I’ve never once seen him give anyone a gf, ns, <S> or anything else resembling sportsmanship. It’s always good job you 3 (sarcasm) or some other excuse. But far from the worst part is his continuous berating, belittling and insulting running commentary all day long with numerous players.
For a guy on “probation” he sure doesn’t act like it by crapping all over everyone, everyday.
His behavior is nothing but toxic. See GasTeddy’s post ^ for reference how someone relatively new here, but long enough to notice the difference since his return.
The list is longer than Violator posted, but not everyone is on here to mention it.
The garbage claim he switches “for the fights” was disproven the other day when he moved to Bish when they were trying to win the map (they did); there were a few Rooks still trying to prevent it but he was there after one of his obsessions. I was tanking to avoid his OCD for me… It’s far from the only example I have, just the most recent.
Skyyr: reply if you’re compelled, but I’m done conversing with you here.

Respectfully dudes you just make yourselves a bigger target, the game is a shell and flight sims overall are niche, and good players in this genre are even more rare. You already realize the time here is limited, maybe in a few years there won't be an enjoyable flight sim to play at all, you never know. So the way I see it there are a few options: get better and beat them, assume for a moment nobody is out to get you and be friendly with the other rare good players in this genre, or move onto another game.
Skyyr and myself had animosity in the past, but recently I came back to the game for a few days after watching his stream. We even did some 1v1s and I can tell you he is not cheating, do you see either of us posting videos or bragging about score? Anyways if you guys want to live out your final flying days here in a rage, that is your choice.. I certainly moved on from that negativity a long time ago and hope others will too.

Man theres usually only 1 front... at most, 2 furballs. When i switch teams i feel like skyyr is hunting me too. He clearly isnt. He leads the pack on every front, so of course youre going to run into him..
I think this is a stretch man. I put down the bottle about a year ago, perhaps its time brotha.
Maybe try learning from him, instead of raging. Hes a pretty ok guy if you dont poke him.. which 85% of people do. Look at his interactions with new players / unknowns. He might have a bit of an edge, but ive been saying this for literal years, long before he came back. Maybe next time try "Hey Skyyr, care to teach me a few things?" Instead of this..
And, to be fair, the game style and scpreboard are older than both of us..
PS @Skyyr no way its weed, man :old:

Teach me? I'm better than him at almost every aspect of air combat statistically measurable in AH but we could go around and around on that im sure. Tough vs a guy who flies 6-8 hours a day in the air, is always logged in, but should learn from me seeing as even knowing where im at and coming after me, he still has the hardest of time trying to kill me with me generally in the defensive. I never said he's a bad stick. I'm exposing faulty tactics he uses which should be frowned upon. I wasnt drinking or smoking in these engagements. That being said, I've played long enough to know shadiness when I see it. It's not a stretch when I have many examples over the last few months watching him switch right when I get a kill and come after me. Come out 60 miles to kill me at my CV trtying to shoot some TU2s. No one else does this. No matter the fight. I don't have time to play much. So my sorties matter to me from a time perspective and when I see this crap happen consistently, I know what's he's trying to do and I'm going to call it out because it's ruining the integrity of the MA for me and others.

Unfortunately this is the virtual world we live in now. HT has checked out and riding this game into the ground. Can’t really blame him. He’s worked hard for decades keeping this thing going and it’s been awesome. The sad thing is it appears he’s now willing to compromise his integrity fifteen bucks at a time which is accelerating the demise of the game rather than just letting it fade away peacefully.
Why HT let Skyyr back I’ll never understand. Specifically as “Skyyr”. HT could’ve just let him play under one of his multitude shades if it was really just about playing the game. But no. Skyyr had to be himself so he could let his ego loose on the community again. He’s absolutely driven by it. Obsessed with it. It’s not good enough just to be a great stick. He has to belittle, berate, taunt, hunt and otherwise ruin others experience. Not just occasionally but whenever and wherever possible. That’s the real fun for him. Any of us who aren’t wrapped around his ankles can see it. He has 100% run off past and present players with his sociopathic behavior. He and his toadies are going to chime in and say it’s simply because he’s THAT good (“DA me bro!”). But there have been many over the years just as good or better without the vitriol. Everything is about, not just how good he is, but how pathetic and stupid others are compared to him. I see it just about every single time I’m logged on now. His ego is what got him banned in the first place. Now he appears to be doing things similar to what got him banned and we’re just supposed to take a liar at his word? This is a guy who creates fake BBS accounts to back himself up.

Imagine you had a bar (AH) and a customer (Skyyr) comes in and pees on it. You throw him out because it’s just not good for business. Then you let him back because you’re a little short on cash he’s buying 4 beers at a time and promises to behave. Shortly thereafter he takes out a spray bottle and starts wiping down the bar. Cool he’s clearly changed! But the bar starts to stink and the regulars see the spray bottle is full of urine. Sure he’s not whipping his junk and making it rain. But there’s still piss on the bar.

I've played long enough to know shadiness when I see it.
I'm going to offer you a genuine reply. No insult, nothing but honesty.
Your ego is what gets you killed. I've highlighted your reply showing it in action. You literally claim to be so much better, then you immediately cry foul play and shadiness. This is what gets you killed and makes you look like an idiot when you report such things to Hitech. I'll explain.
I'm flying on the same country as fdski.
SYSTEM: "Violator has shot down fdski"
Well, fdski was literally half a grid north of me, so I decide to go after you. Hmmm, I wonder what you were in?
* check the stats page * * stats page shows Violator killed fdski while flying an F4U-4 * * note the grid where fdski died * * note there is a dar bar indicating 1 con * * a single con shows up over the TU-2s * * I ask the TU-2 pilot "what's over you?" * * TU-2 replies: "a -4" *
That's precisely how I found you.
Further, you then make the audacious claim here (https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,409102.0.html) that I didn't get hit by ship ack. If you actually watched the film, you'd have seen I got hit by ship ack multiple times and I even lost one of my 20mm cannons. So if you were to ever send in film to Hitech claiming I was undamaged, it'd be disregarded because you clearly didn't even watch your own film.
Let me repeat that: you posted a film of me, claiming I wasn't hit by ack, when the film clearly shows me getting hit multiple times with ship ack. That's how oblivious you are to how things work.
There was nothing dishonest, broken, or even "gamey" about how I found you. It was pure logic and deduction. You're upset because you were trying to pad your stats with bomber kills and you got caught, so you come and cry "cheat." And this is precisely why your complaints are never taken seriously, because there's nothing serious about them. There was no multiple accounts or hacks or cheats or even cheating, it's pure logic, deduction, and you being predictable.
It was that easy. There's no shadiness involved, just your own lack of imagination. Everything is a hack or a cheat to you because you can't comprehend anyone outsmarting you or predicting you. A la why you're still trying to figure out how I managed to get a speed advantage on most merges... TEN YEARS later.
Every single one of our encounters has been in line with the above. Even last night, our single encounter was from ONE account where I switched using the 6 hour timer. You're literally complaining that I did what *any* player could do. You then became so paranoid that you were accusing me of hunting you when I was literally on the other side of the map, not even remotely close to you. It's still saved on my stream and multiple people saw it and commented on how dumb you were.
Like I said, post the films here. They're natively timestamped. It should be VERY easy to show me fighting you on different accounts if I'm indeed switching fronts. You can't because it's never happened. You're upset that I'm online whenever you're on. You were complaining about this long before I even had a second account (which itself is telling).

Same garbage as in '04 when I first started in my early 30's. It makes one weary to see it constantly regurgitated. Only the names have changed. This is pretty much why I and a few others create our own version of fun off the beaten path, and it leads to the creation of new fights and fun and getting to know some good sticks who behave themselves and have it within themselves to do the right thing, i.e. just be a good sport and not a sore loser stuck in the myopic obsession of finding any way of winning in any way possible- no matter how devious. Man up and win in the real world. Accept that you may win and definitely lose, sometimes badly, in the game and real life. Grow up. Humility is honorable.

I'm only addressing this, haven't read the rest (yet.)
So, you're saying you left the game to check an outside source to confirm that it was your target, violator in the that area, specifically in an f4u-4 (defeating the built-in icon feature that prevents some plane type specific id until 800 yds), giving you access to tactical info that was unavailable in-game at that time? Sure, you could have simply asked fdski and hope he replied. Did you?
I mean even checking ah film for hiding GVs forces you to log out of the game.
Just pointing this out.

Effectively by-passing the in-game feature that prevents specific id on some plane types until you're 800 yds in. Got it.
Nope. I asked Hitech about this back when I played last and he said that there wasn't anything wrong with checking such stats.
There's no guarantee that any player is still in said plane, as they could have landed or ditched, etc. It's simply using logic and deduction to predict the most likely scenario.

A post proving that you are in infact going out of your way to target me. There you go, now go ahead and admit to the rest.
Send that film of you flying through CV ack on your side. I'd like to see it. From my end I didn't see such a hit and isn't it great that one 20mm and it still was enough to catch me on fire in a tough crossing shot. Gah, I wish my bullets worked that well in the most inaccurate plane on the game, but I digress.
The bold comment is flat out false logic. Am I not allowed to defend my CV from two groups of TUs taking out my CVs? Gee golly. Yeah it must be padding score to defend CVs and bases and then have to watch my bellybutton from some weirdo determined to track me down and gain a scoring advantage over me every time I get a kill...
The reason I get killed is because you come into my fights after switching teams and help to gang or get me ganged to help your score 95% of my deaths are from being ganged. Just like last time when Starpig had to jump in, or the night before when Judge had to jump in. Always pettiness.
Btw, I saw you change to Bish after I changed fronts again last night to fight bish to go fight somewhere else and saw a 190D coming at me with a Ki84 and thought that was you based on how he was flying. After all, you did switch from team last night to Rooks to go after me while judge remained on Knights flying at the field I'm at. Why didn't you come help defend? Instead you switched to specifically come engage me. That is what I have a problem with. I'm not going to gear every sortie especially defending a field to watching you change teams and come engage me. Automatically you are setting up an advantage over me. It's petty and its lame. Which is why I've posted this formal complaint.
Here is just one of many that shows Skyyr targeting me so hard that it's his ego getting him killed trying to kill me defending a field.
Here is another example, also unlisted, of skyyr switching teams to engage me while defending my field in a G2 after I get a kill. It was a fun and intense defensive sortie for me actually despite getting 2 assists. Time stamp in description.

Now the bullies are being bullied and they cry like girls.
As for Violator, I dueled him years ago when I was nowhere near as good as I am now. He BARELY won our fights. Skyyr and I have dueled 1000s of times. The gulf in skill between the two is massive. Skyyr > Violator

Unfortunately this is the virtual world we live in now. HT has checked out and riding this game into the ground. Can’t really blame him. He’s worked hard for decades keeping this thing going and it’s been awesome. The sad thing is it appears he’s now willing to compromise his integrity fifteen bucks at a time which is accelerating the demise of the game rather than just letting it fade away peacefully.
Why HT let Skyyr back I’ll never understand. Specifically as “Skyyr”. HT could’ve just let him play under one of his multitude shades if it was really just about playing the game. But no. Skyyr had to be himself so he could let his ego loose on the community again. He’s absolutely driven by it. Obsessed with it. It’s not good enough just to be a great stick. He has to belittle, berate, taunt, hunt and otherwise ruin others experience. Not just occasionally but whenever and wherever possible. That’s the real fun for him. Any of us who aren’t wrapped around his ankles can see it. He has 100% run off past and present players with his sociopathic behavior. He and his toadies are going to chime in and say it’s simply because he’s THAT good (“DA me bro!”). But there have been many over the years just as good or better without the vitriol. Everything is about, not just how good he is, but how pathetic and stupid others are compared to him. I see it just about every single time I’m logged on now. His ego is what got him banned in the first place. Now he appears to be doing things similar to what got him banned and we’re just supposed to take a liar at his word? This is a guy who creates fake BBS accounts to back himself up. For every video he posts to support his claims (whatever they are at any given moment), there are likely ten more on his hard own drive that refute the same thing.
Imagine you had a bar (AH) and a customer (Skyyr) comes in and pees on it. You throw him out because it’s just not good for business. Then you let him back because you’re a little short on cash he’s buying 4 beers at a time and promises to behave. Shortly thereafter he takes out a spray bottle and starts wiping down the bar. Cool he’s clearly changed! But the bar starts to stink and the regulars see the spray bottle is full of urine. Sure he’s not whipping his junk and making it rain. But there’s still piss on the bar.

Please post film showing otherwise. Just one film. You can't. Every encounter we have had has been on one account, on one front.
This excuse is wearing pretty thin. When the body language and the words don't match you trust the body language. The most recent K4 "I am uber" video even contains obviously cheating gameplay. Judge (at least) on the opposite team to Voldermort here coordinating which one of them is flying what over Discord (I presume) to prevent 'freindly' fire. Ordinary players try to sort their SA unaware of this obviously. Uttelry unfair gameplay in obvious violation of the spirit of the TOS.
This targeting, shaming and griefing will go on and on and on because he doesn't know any different mode of behaviour. His sycophantic squadmates obviosuly mesmerised by the beguiling spell of score and dominance. You should consider the value of your subscriptions if HiTech is simply going to sit on the sidelines taking the money while this dumpster fire keeps growing.

Unfortunate truth. That said, people should expect SOME service for 15 mo. Doing zero,.. OR for F sake, tweaks we may not realize is a bad joke play on words, as if we're brain dead. We're just being slow-walked until he can claim not enough income while he permits skimmers. I think he wants it to crash. One can only accidentally drop the ball only so many times before the word accidentally becomes the words intentionally. Burned out on the lame excuses we all suffer life and we all still deliver for a paycheck. I stopped listening and having my intelligence insulted. When someone uses the word "hope to get back into dev", walk away, nothing is going to happen.

I'm about done with Aces high since there is 0 strategy anymore with kill message, dot dar, consistent ganging, dweeb squads, and lack of war strategy effort.
I have to admit that the part where one country has bases on top of your stats and is leveling them but your country is ganging the other county because they currently have the lowest numbers always left me scratching my head. I would try to take back the bases around the strats but there usually was zero interest. This didn't matter which country it was because I was on side switcher. The "always have to gang the country with the lowest numbers thing" was baffling to me.

We got stuck on separate sides because of side-switch timers. This is precisely why we created multiple accounts about a month later, because mouth-breathers like you were claiming we were doing it on purpose. When you have 6+ active squad members, your side-switch timers are always off.
Oh wait, you're saying we should kill each other if we're stuck on opposite teams? Avoiding each other and nothing more is cheating? lol

All htc needs to do is include a couple more datapoints in the films to quash cheating accusations. I also feel a separate aceshigh.exe for arena play would be good. Instead of using the same executable in the main arena as in training arenas where software switches enable or disable functionality not wanted in main arena play, why not have a different executable that doesn’t have the switches in the first place.
Cheating accusations will be easy to confirm or dismiss the ill will spewed with cheating discussion. It’s not allowed anyway.

There you go; making WILD assumptions. You cant possibly know what i do or dont understand. I think youre drunk dude. Day drinking is never the answer. Even i never did that.
Id be happy to duel you and show you what i understand. Weve had fun in the past but never serious duels. Id wager the one lesson i got from Skyyr might do the trick.
False statements? Bro.. youre not making sense and your sentences are becoming very repetitive.
Bottom line, Skyyr doesnt care about you to hunt you, and would destroy you in real 1v1s. Since you feel the need to stsrt swingin

"There's no cheaters and all accusations of cheating are baseless."
"People have been banned for cheating"
Both of these statements can't be true.
If you hack (mod your aircraft/vehicle attribute values) in Aces High, the modded values get stored in the plane's coded properties, which are visible to everyone else's clients. It can't be hidden due to how the game and server interacts. Because it's attached to your aircraft/vehicle, it can be recorded by anyone recording your aircraft using the AH film recorder. Ergo, if there is cheating, it can easily be detected by recording AHF and sending it to Hitech.
This is why Hitech always requests AHF film in such accusations.
I know of two players who actually got banned for legitimate hacking: xPoisonx and BluBerry
xPoisonx did it once as a way to go out in a blaze of whatever. He was flying around at insane speeds, dropping infinite bombs, etc.
BluBerry got banned for enabling and using the LCGS in the Main Arenas.
Both were detected by AHF film being sent to Hitech.

Hope for the rope or if not HO? Only tricks I've seen lately.
Yes you clearly don't understand what's going on. Skyyr spelled out above one of his methods of targeting me. Which is a lot of damn effort to say the least to try to catch me off guard to build his kill count on me... no one flies 60 miles out to a CV just to shoot me down... or switch to both my enemy teams within 15 minutes to engage me. Who else does that?
Some people have to work or else I'd too get to play a video game for 8 hours a day... no time for day drinking unfortunately.

It’s best not to discuss hacking here and especially alleged techniques used when making an accusation. I’d rather discuss options to let us self police. I think having a slightly expanded data set available for display in the films would work.

BluBerry got banned for enabling and using the LCGS in the Main Arenas.
Just to clear this statement up; I spoke to blu about it years ago when he flew with me, I most certainly didn't want a cheat in my squad and had my questions. His original account got banned because he was just testing out what could be done with the thing (Cheat Program) and then deleted it, all so he could use his experience to detect who was using it in the MA. When he came back as bluberry he wasn't using anything when he got re-banned. I liked blu, he was one of the good guys, it was quite the loss to AH when Skuzzy decided to pull the ban handle on him that second time, he was a very positive personality. However, like a few, he was vocal about the 12 hour side switch timer, and I'm sure it was more so that which put the target on his back.

Violator, I love you, bro. We've grown up together in this game. I understand your frustration, I do, but posts like this aren't going to help. Take a step back and look at what this game has provided us, and continues to provide us, and do not let one player determine your fun. Take this from someone that doesn't have a dog in the fight.
I hope you stick around.
And folk wonder why I am happy when ever you shoot me down? The "ROLE REVERSAL". Spit on Pony redux! :rofl I may, or may not, had been talking about our run up against a Banshee in last scenario :rock I knew it was you(in role reversal), thus my talking about scenario....? I am flying with SicPuppies...while trying to keep The BW Squad alive....they get me and let me on their channel. "BW? Same Banshee? Its love...Praise to Braised"..they were laughing their tulips of! Skyyr was just as much a Role Model as Violator was, in my experience/coming up in AH. This stuff hurts me. I REFUSE to take sides! We ALL get frustrated, from time to times...I just can't wrap my head around the animosity. I know for a fact, if Violator watched his film and let go of bias(if that is right word), he might just learn something? On other hand, Skyyr's trolling doesn't help the situation either. I have never had that issue with him. Then again, I don't mouth off to him? Skyyr is #2 in my book. Book being "ACM" examples. Requiem(of Air Combat Tutorials), then Skyyr, then Growling Sidewinder...Violator is a super close #3 to GS(CO BWDelta had films of training with Violator back in 2014).

A day will come when you log into the game or here and you’ll see a message that says the doors are closing; no more MA, no more FSO, no MNM, scenarios, TNTW, WWI arena… Just a thank you for all the great memories. :(
I don’t want to see that any sooner due to egomaniacs destruction of HT’s and countless others hard work. There is no natural replacement for AH, period.
Laugh all you want, berate others endlessly, chest thump with every kill “get better”, “you suck” “imagine being so bad…” Those are his daily contributions to the game. It’s toxic and mean spirited. That vitriol soils the soul.
Build, don’t destroy, it’s that simple. All he’d have to do is either type 90% less or actually find some gratitude deep down for the blessing of being able to interact with a lot of great ppl.
I like the idea of being able to still be here 5yrs from now, do we (collectively) enough to change?

No one is a superhero, I can kill every one of them and have. I bet I just sucked myself into slit skirt drama.

By "learn something" does that mean I watch skyyr get a kill, switch to the side he's fighting and roll a Temp EVERY SINGLE SORTIE HE FLIES TO GO AFTER HIM". AND THEN USE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS TO SWITCH TO ANY FRONT HES AT WITHIN MINUTES? SORRY BUT IM NOT A SOCIOPATH LIKE HE IS. He's already setting up an advantage against me. How do you defend this bull crap man?
I mouth off to him because I know what he's doing is cheap and petty inside a video game that can be gamed like this.
It's not fun for me, it's not fun for the other players he does this to. I will continue to call out this poor spirited and obsessive behavior until hitech gives me a response as to how this is acceptable gameplay.

Respectfully dudes you just make yourselves a bigger target, the game is a shell and flight sims overall are niche, and good players in this genre are even more rare. You already realize the time here is limited, maybe in a few years there won't be an enjoyable flight sim to play at all, you never know. So the way I see it there are a few options: get better and beat them, assume for a moment nobody is out to get you and be friendly with the other rare good players in this genre, or move onto another game.
Skyyr and myself had animosity in the past, but recently I came back to the game for a few days after watching his stream. We even did some 1v1s and I can tell you he is not cheating, do you see either of us posting videos or bragging about score? Anyways if you guys want to live out your final flying days here in a rage, that is your choice.. I certainly moved on from that negativity a long time ago and hope others will too.
I feel precisely the same way now.

Title: Re: The integrity of the game and players is lost
Post by: Gman on April 18, 2024, 10:26:11 AM
I should have been specific, I agree with Krup regarding the "old feelings" part, as well as his observation that Skyyr isn't cheating. I've watched all of his streams/vids, and he's not. He's just a very, very good shot, combined with excellent SA, energy management, etc.
I would say "no", IF HTC had specific rules regarding targeting a single individual over and over - but I don't see how anyone could regulate such a thing. What with the auto switch feature being what it is, it's easy to see why squads would have multiple accounts, in order to not be split up by the auto-side switch thing. There are no rules, nor should there be IMO, about using intelligence, common sense, deduction, whatever, to figure out where individual opponents are.
Now if HTC were to eliminate the auto balance/switch feature, and say in the TOS that players shall have but one single account, and not engage in using multiple accounts in order to gain information about the other teams and opponents, I think you would have a valid complaint Violator.
As of now, despite how PO'd you are, I don't think HTC is going to make a decision in your favor.
Why don't you just fight back when Skyyr comes looking for you? I'm coming back myself shortly, and I HOPE Skyyr targets me, as I want to improve rapidly once I shake the rust off, and you can't learn unless you lose. If a few of us got together and fought against Skyyr's squad, it'd be a lot of fun I think, something approaching the "good old days" of AH circa blue/orange servers time period.
Violator - would you care if a new player decided he didn't like you and wanted to just target you, and did so, yet you killed him every time you both clashed? Think about that for a second - what is it that really is making you upset at Skyyr?
Look, I'm not defending Skyyr, hell it was me who was largely responsible for getting him banned in the first place (I regretted that, and sent in umpteen PMs to HTC/Skuzzy in an attempt to undo what I did, in order to get Skyyr unbanned), but IMO the game needs players like him, no matter how much his ego, attitude, ch 200, whatever might grate on some people. He's not cheating, and not breaking any rules so far as I can tell.
One thing Krupinski is 100% correct about is that online flight sims like this are a very delicate and precious thing. DCS is rumored to have $$$ problems right now, and one of their largest subcontractors Razbam is on "strike" due to not being paid in 9 months. We could easily be stuck with Warthunder/etc as our only choice someday in the not distant future.
edit - a big reason why Bluberry got banned (IIRC it was at least a major contributing factor) was that subforum he had going in the squad area. It was actually hilarious, and a lot of fun posting in there for a while, but I can see how HTC lost their sense of humor over it. Him using some sort of cheat in the game is news to me, and unless HT says it happened...

Aye that sux to hear he was a good guy and got perm ban. Maybe if Skyyr got a pardon maybe Blu could get one too?
I've heard from others that got a hold of what sounds like the same program and described some of the options that it could inject that seem like they would be hard to detect if they were subtle about their usage. Things like fuel load weight to 0 would be hard to detect as well as if you cranked up the lethality of your weapons. People would chalk such things up to better E management or a lucky shot. What I find fascinating is this info was from 10 years ago. I'd bet there's a version 2.0 by now lol.
In WW2 online there as a video posted on youtube of an ESP hack. It was pretty advanced. It showed red squares and lines from your location to the enemy. It would also auto fire when your weapon crossed the enemy in a way that would hit them. What I found interesting was how CRS handled it. Instead of admitting that it existed and working on some anti-cheat they contacted the poster of the video and asked him to password protect the video so they could bury it's existence.
The funniest thing about the WW2 online guys is the ones who's game play is suspect are the ones who are always accusing others of cheating. LOL
Maybe we can start a petition for a pardon for Blue? :)

This post makes a lot of sense.
In the end, I have a lot of friends in here, and I want everyone to get along and enjoy this game while it lasts. While I believe that is a utopian idea, I think the atmosphere would be a lot better if players took things a little less personally. Sure, I get mad and rant on 200, accusing players of crappy gameplay and whatnot, but I usually get over it pretty fast because I don't let another person's actions determine my happiness.

I’ve been saying this for months. Former AH player(s)now DCS players are skimming from here to save their investment in DCS. They claim I was wrong when they knew I was right. That type of payment plan is not the long game. Players are discovering how expensive it is and less fun.
-2000 players in 2-3 mos is not just a version that doesn’t play well on steam. Some of our return players flew DCS at some time.
IATSE union is going after the gaming industry to unionize game workers. 9 mos without pay is an easy in.
Subs is the long game.even the homeless can play at .50 cents per day.
I’m not sure WT is a good match for this crowd. AH might out last many of them as is. Much lower over-head.
It may turn out that AH stepped in poop and comes out smelling like roses. To a point.

Gman, you could enforce it after undeniable proof with multiple films and give them a ban for 3 months for this action. It's not healthy for the game and should be gravely frowned upon.
This isn't about hacking. This is about targeting and manipulating gameplay by a player with devious intent towards another player regardless of the strategy of the MA. Bascially what you are implying is that you are okay with Skyyr running players out of the game using underhanded tactics provided by the game, like kills showing up in the feed, which is the worst decision ever implemented. This completely defeats any anonymity in the war and battle and makes it easier for players to use it to abuse the gameplay and players. This infact has ruined the integrity of the MA on many levels. Skyyr and other players should not be allowed to look me up after I kill player on the whole map and gain the advantage of that and chase me down. How is that fair, Gman?
Yes, I would care if a player was specifically targeting me all over the damn map every sortie I flew. It's not about me killing him, it's about him forcing me to change my SA and dynamic of the fight no matter what im flying mind you as soon as I know they have switched and will engage me after I get my first kill that shows up on the screen. Again, no other player has gone to this extreme to engage and that is why I dont respect Skyyr right now. How is him seeing me get a kill, switch to that team, then pick any plane he wants, get all the alt and speed he wants to engage me fair, Gman? This is unethical and again ruins the integrity of the MA by changing my ability to be able to defend a field keep them from Jabo or a base take. This guy wants to come in blazing in a 190D, La7, or 152, and you people tell me to get better? Give me a break. The guy still can't hardly kill me with all that advantage but it's really annoying the hell out of. He has all day to fly. I don't.
You want me to spend the hour I play to enforce the same tactics on him and others? You think that's great for the game? Who cares about the war strategy anymore? Who cares about base defense. Who cares about anything on the map right, it's just all about looking up which player I should go after and attack only them right when I enter the engagement with whatever plane I want and speed? That's what the MA is now and gaming of the game contest? This again, ruins the integrity of the MA and a players ability to effect the gameplay for their team.
One of Skyyrs only 2 kills on me he sees me get a kill defending my field, switches to that team. Grabs a La7 and prevents me from defending a field that they took while he HOs me and gets my engine right after they took the field so gets the kill. How is that not ruining the integrity of the game play?
If you think I'm gonna spend my hour chasing this guy around in his super planes with friends and his squad on my team, or getting jumped by him while im trying to defend a field every time I get a kill, than I guess it's just about time I finally cancel my sub after 12-14 years and play another flight sim because it's no longer enjoyable or a natura gameplay experience for me. :aok

I don't want to exaggerate but I suspect at least a million people have bought at least one DCS module.

Gman, you could enforce it after undeniable proof with multiple films and give them a ban for 3 months for this action. It's not healthy for the game and should be gravely frowned upon.
...
If you think I'm gonna spend my hour chasing this guy around in his super planes with friends and his squad on my team, or getting jumped by him while im trying to defend a field every time I get a kill, than I guess it's just about time I finally cancel my sub after 12-14 years and play another flight sim because it's no longer enjoyable or a natura gameplay experience for me. :aok

Scared? I had to get 13k in a 109G14 over my own field with TheJudge on my team when I saw Skyyr switch from my team to Rooks, so he could engage in a 152 and have his buddy Starpig pick me. You guys aren't good and it's pathetic when you have to resort to these tactics and then pretend you are good.

I got over 10,000 views on a DCS youtube video in a few weeks. Just short of 11,000 right now. Show me just one of your Aces High videos with that many views. Show me just one of yours with even a thousand views?
Yeah, didn't think so.
Sometimes the YT algorithm just clicks for certain things and recommends it to more people, I don't know how it's calculated but feels like it's based on your previous videos with a bit of randomness.
If I post an IL2 video it will get 1k+ views in a few days or less, if I post a DCS video with the same type of flying, it could take a month to reach the same amount of views. You would think maybe it's the opposite since DCS overall has more players. Granted many of the views will come from your subscribers, but you see the same trend in the views from non subscribers as if the algorithm is/is not recommending it.

And folk wonder why I am happy when ever you shoot me down? The "ROLE REVERSAL". Spit on Pony redux! :rofl I may, or may not, had been talking about our run up against a Banshee in last scenario :rock I knew it was you(in role reversal), thus my talking about scenario....? I am flying with SicPuppies...while trying to keep The BW Squad alive....they get me and let me on their channel. "BW? Same Banshee? Its love...Praise to Braised"..they were laughing their tulips of! Skyyr was just as much a Role Model as Violator was, in my experience/coming up in AH. This stuff hurts me. I REFUSE to take sides! We ALL get frustrated, from time to times...I just can't wrap my head around the animosity. I know for a fact, if Violator watched his film and let go of bias(if that is right word), he might just learn something? On other hand, Skyyr's trolling doesn't help the situation either. I have never had that issue with him. Then again, I don't mouth off to him? Skyyr is #2 in my book. Book being "ACM" examples. Requiem(of Air Combat Tutorials), then Skyyr, then Growling Sidewinder...Violator is a super close #3 to GS(CO BWDelta had films of training with Violator back in 2014). Lift Vector, Energy Uses, 1 circle vs 2 Circle, Corner speeds...and on. The #2 and Violator may not explain what they are doing in their videos...but combined with the tutorials...priceless demonstrations. Also...if EVER I had a WTF, how did I mess that up question...answered promptly :aok
Growling Sidewinder? Seriously dude, you do understand his vids are extremely-very-highly scripted?

Yeah and the 1v1 style this plane vs that plane fights aren't very good, neither him nor the people he picks to fight against can take full advantage of their planes. Kinda gives the viewers a false sense of what they are really capable of. There are quite a few good players out there in other sims and Growling Sidewinder/Requiem are not comparable. No offense to them of course, their content helps a lot of newer players learn too.

Growling Sidewinder (fellow Canadian) knows a lot of catch phrases, and sets up his videos in order to make use of them. It's a successful business model for Youtube views, not an air combat technical school for online games.
He's competed in various DCS events under a different name in the past, and in the 1v1 dogfight events, has typically gotten smoked in the very early rounds. There are LOTS of players in DCS who are far, far better than him. They don't make 6 figures a year making daily videos though. IMO his vids are harmless, and a good way to generate interest in the DCS world. That's how they got me back into it - YT vids.
DCS is a large community/business, no doubt vastly more so than here - but they aren't too large to fail. Despite that, even with their current internal squabbles, I don't think they're going anywhere. Hopefully the same applies here.
Violator - have you considered changing your name, even for a while? Could be a simple solution, even it is only short term.

We're watching a re-run of the HAWK debacle. I'm pretty sure this one will end bigly betterly. RAZBAM has done well from DCS. VEAO was looking for a way out and shafted their customers to do it. $ Aces High is alive from all appearances, because Hitech wants it that way. Why shut it down if it's still making even a trickle of $. I wouldn't think he's operating at a loss and I don't think AH is going anywhere as long as he keeps himself healthy. Even Warbirds is still a thing and I'm pretty sure the 6players-online thing is auto generated BS :rofl

Indeed DCS is not too big to fail. I've been concerned over the years that conflict between the US and Russia might make it unavailable one day. Even though it's registered in Switzerland the developers are mostly in Moscow. If for whatever reason they shut it down or blocked access I expect someone will hack it to make it still playable. Legal? Probably not but then neither is cutting off access to those who have paid.

Yeah, didn't think so.
You’re doing exactly what me and others have said. Stay on subject. You ran a 85 page pro dcs thread by dcs players. Claiming comparing AH to other sims. It wasn’t that at all. You defended dcs in every comparidion. Its a DCS thread by DCS players. Cut the crap. That innocent act don’t impress me while I look at the evidence. I was not the only one to say so.
I don’t cate if 1m watched your video. You said direct opposite in another post. I care about what we bring in here and retaining them, and you try to slip them out the back door.
You’re talking about your own players watching your own videos. Its reaching the non players that counts.
Just stop it. You got your 85 pages advertisement on another sims board, and its low class.
Subject IS it doesn’t matter if you have 2 billion players, DCS is in financial trouble snd has’t met payroll for 9 months. Nice attempt to focus change. None of you dcs guys want to talk about that or bat cht crazy module prices, you guys run from that, and if it were not sales, you’d talk about that without it being dragged out of you. You rather talk about videos than the main subject. Focus shift. If DCS is doing so good why are you here selling it? Because its not.
I can send IATSE to those unpaid workers, if yall want to start playing rough. I could have always done that. I just have more class. I am IATSE. I hold the power. I chose not to. So far.
In reverse, I can get HT any skill he needs if he decides to mive again.

I chose the name violator as in violating the rules. And the other name was just a joke when I was 16 for a very short time. But yeah I never expected Hitech to allow some crazy obsessive guy to stalk players in a game every time they get a kill which isn't poetic, it's weird.

By "learn something" does that mean I watch skyyr get a kill, switch to the side he's fighting and roll a Temp EVERY SINGLE SORTIE HE FLIES TO GO AFTER HIM". AND THEN USE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS TO SWITCH TO ANY FRONT HES AT WITHIN MINUTES? SORRY BUT IM NOT A SOCIOPATH LIKE HE IS. He's already setting up an advantage against me. How do you defend this bull crap man?
I mouth off to him because I know what he's doing is cheap and petty inside a video game that can be gamed like this.
It's not fun for me, it's not fun for the other players he does this to. I will continue to call out this poor spirited and obsessive behavior until hitech gives me a response as to how this is acceptable gameplay.
"Defend this bull?" If he is cheating? Griefing? NO SIR! You know me better than that! I have YET to see how he is grieving though. Blood Thirsty is what I see. Multiple accounts to feed his blood lust? Can you really blame him? We are all griping about player #s/side swap times/eny/map sizes/ 2 country v 3 country.. yada yada, in game. I would gladly pay for multiple accounts for YOU! To have adequate fights-enough to keep you here. You are a Staple as per my fun here!

I refuse to pick sides on this! I might get splinters in my Arse...by straddling the fence, but I love you guys equally! He kills Scoob and Silent and the judge :rofl All members of 'Damned'. He is a Guaranteed Top Notch Fight as I feel it. You are as well! I have yet, to be singled out as someone to be "Griefed on"? I would wear that as a Badge Of Accomplishment. :rock This has me felling like a Child testifying in Divorce Court :uhoh I don't want to choose who I prefer to play with/against :bhead

I don't need you to pay for my accounts. I'm all good, but thanks. There are others who need that help to have an account.
You see, he's just pissed off because I was able to beat his fighter rank on the last day of the month last month regardless of his multiple targeting opportunities :rofl
Now, he's playing every second of the day to make sure I don't have any success when I roll for a fight. Hell switch from my team to Rooks to Bish in 15 minutes and roll a La7 or 152 while I'm already in flight to chase me around the map as soon as I get a kill. That's unsportsmanlike and I'm going to call out these petty tactics by him and his squad.
4,000 kills by their squad already this tour and we still have 11-12 days to go. If you don't think that's having a negative impact on the game, I've got news for you.
And if you look at the current stats, the 190D now has the highest amount of kills 3,000, 800 more than a spit16, with the highest K/D 1.95 of any other non perked plane. That represents a problem because is just horrible for fights in the MA. 500 cannons. Easy to pick, easy to run, can go 600 mph in a dive. This plane is a crutch plane and these guys flying it for 200 hours a month is a detriment which I've warned about for a long time even before judge and skyyr showed up.

Good kill ..glad I am your new shiny toy so others get a break

You're delusional dude. I switched when the Knight dar bar grew smaller. I wanted more targets. It had nothing to do with you. I don't want to have my kills stolen by 5+ friendlies coming into my fights, so I switched to the Bishops because they were capped by both Knights and Rooks. Plenty of targets everywhere.
You engaged and came after me me every single time, except once. You tried to gang me multiple times, including rolling from your 4k base when I was at 3k (below it in the valley) fighting LatinLuv and Bait and 2 190s 4v1. In fact, you had alt on me in every fight except one. You even managed to hit a tree in one of the fights. You came at me 3x in my last fight and died every time, while I was fighting 3-4 players. I ended up landing 7 kills from that sortie after you logged.
You may want to start working on your SA, because you clearly aren't aware when you're the one engaging someone else.

Sorry, but I wasn't even trying for score last month. And I'm not trying this month. And I absolutely couldn't care less if you "beat" my score; if I cared, I'd only fly fighter sorties when it was advantageous to score. As it is, I fly fighter mode 100% of the time. I was even flying a Mossie on the deck last night 3v1, so no, I absolutely do not care about trying to game the scoring system. On the contrary, you're the one who's upset because you can't game it any longer with someone like me around, because you seemingly can't rank high with just a few sorties any more.
Why is it that you're the guy who claims score doesn't matter yet you're the only one bringing it up?
And unfortunately for you, my main plane this tour is a 190A5. I have about 800 kills in it now. My second plane is a TA 152 at 190 kills. Third is the LA. The D9 is way down the list at #4, I almost have more kills in a F4U than I have in a D9. Of course, you're going to backpedal and claim you knew this, despite the fact you tried to claim I'm the reason for the D9 having so many kills.
Now go be paranoid somewhere else.

Lmfao coming from Mr tally count over here thats hilarious... 🤣 I'm pretty sure deep down we both know that's a lie that you don't care.
I also only fly fighter sorties and don't hide behind attack mode. I only get to fly maybe an hour a night if I get a chance. There is no "gaming" needed and I don't have to hunt players and use 9 accounts with my squad on every team to switch teams in order to attempt to affect their sorties while they are already in the air. That's an actual mental condition if you ask me. Don't blame me for actually being able to achieve a high rank with minimal sorties because I know how to effectively fly without having to manipulate the situation over others. Atlau was actually the only one recently I couldn't compete with due to points plus his overall other stats but he was able to play more than me with those stats so no way I could compete.
I didn't claim you were the sole reason though you are part of it, along with judge and Silent also on your squad, where judge has 1000 kills in it already... even without judge it would still be one of the top killing planes and I've always said it should be perked or have a 5 eny like the La7. The 152 also use to be perked. Fast planes with cannons are extremely advantageous. The 190d and Ta152 are not far behind the Tempest IMO. Being able to extend away and out excel most planes with a very high top speed and diving ability is the most advantage you can get in WW2 planes.
It's not paranoia when 6 other players plus have also exposed the same crap you guys pull along with many who have left the game over it. That's called pointing out a pattern of behavior when you do the same thing every time I and others log a kill, and is documented. That's not paranoia that's a fact of pattern and I and others are calling you out for it because it's not natural and ruining the game play.
You wanna keep using schiesty methods to target me and others in the game with an unnatural advantage, I'm going to keep coming here and exposing it. :aok

When you're afraid of combat in a combat game, you may to rewatch this:
I would say you are afraid of combat when you have to game the game to take advantage of other players. Wouldn't you say?
Again, I climb to 13k after seeing you switch the other day while I was defending my field, and sure enough you showed up at 13k in a 152 over my own field, with a friendly to help pick me. If I can watch you do that, than I'm surely not paranoid, but correct in my thinking.

That isn't what happened?
You didn't climb up in your la7 and kill me in my g2 while I was climbing up to engage 2 p47s?
I wasn't your 1st kill when you switched from knights?
It's OK I really don't care but it's not worth lying about..
I enjoy fighting you as I know I will probably die but might be able to get a shot on you...it's your groupies that sometimes pick but so do we all

You weren't my first kill, my first kill was a Rook player. I got 3 kills, then chased DLO52 an entire grid where he ran for help, then I died and re-upped. Then you dove on me. I didn't attack you with the P47s until the next time you upped.
The "groupies" stayed on Knights.

I don't need you to pay for my accounts. I'm all good, but thanks. There are others who need that help to have an account.
You see, he's just pissed off because I was able to beat his fighter rank on the last day of the month last month regardless of his multiple targeting opportunities :rofl
Now, he's playing every second of the day to make sure I don't have any success when I roll for a fight. Hell switch from my team to Rooks to Bish in 15 minutes and roll a La7 or 152 while I'm already in flight to chase me around the map as soon as I get a kill. That's unsportsmanlike and I'm going to call out these petty tactics by him and his squad.
4,000 kills by their squad already this tour and we still have 11-12 days to go. If you don't think that's having a negative impact on the game, I've got news for you.
And if you look at the current stats, the 190D now has the highest amount of kills 3,000, 800 more than a spit16, with the highest K/D 1.95 of any other non perked plane. That represents a problem because is just horrible for fights in the MA. 500 cannons. Easy to pick, easy to run, can go 600 mph in a dive. This plane is a crutch plane and these guys flying it for 200 hours a month is a detriment which I've warned about for a long time even before judge and skyyr showed up.
hell, I didn't even make the list lol..I must try harder

You’re doing exactly what me and others have said. Stay on subject. You ran a 85 page pro dcs thread by dcs players. Claiming comparing AH to other sims. It wasn’t that at all. You defended dcs in every comparidion. Its a DCS thread by DCS players. Cut the crap. That innocent act don’t impress me while I look at the evidence. I was not the only one to say so.
I don’t cate if 1m watched your video. You said direct opposite in another post. I care about what we bring in here and retaining them, and you try to slip them out the back door.
You’re talking about your own players watching your own videos. Its reaching the non players that counts.
Just stop it. You got your 85 pages advertisement on another sims board, and its low class.
Subject IS it doesn’t matter if you have 2 billion players, DCS is in financial trouble snd has’t met payroll for 9 months. Nice attempt to focus change. None of you dcs guys want to talk about that or bat cht crazy module prices, you guys run from that, and if it were not sales, you’d talk about that without it being dragged out of you. You rather talk about videos than the main subject. Focus shift. If DCS is doing so good why are you here selling it? Because its not.
I can send IATSE to those unpaid workers, if yall want to start playing rough. I could have always done that. I just have more class. I am IATSE. I hold the power. I chose not to. So far.
In reverse, I can get HT any skill he needs if he decides to mive again.
To be clear, it's only Razbam that hasn't been paid in 9 months, and that's according to 2 Razbam employees statements on the Razbam discord. None of the ED employees or any of the other dozen or so contracting teams like Heatblur/etc/etc have made the same complaint. There are other things going on between Eagle Dynamics and Razbam as well, apparently Razbam broke the TOS with ED by creating/selling tech to a South American country's air force or some such.

Let me ask.
If every player used the kill messages to target and trace players and have 3 accounts to fly on any team and at any moment with a squad on all 3 teams or on your team, and players just switch to target people while they are already flying. Is that good for the MA overall? Is this what we want the MA to be about?

Clearly you've never played other competitive games. Being able to side-switch and see who you are fighting is the norm. Hell, even in Fighter Ace, there was no side-switch timer and nametags were always on.
The scenario you described sounds perfect and wouldn't bother me one bit.
Here's something you never knew: You ALWAYS had access to kill messages, even before Hitech enabled them. Just refresh the stats page and it functions just like a kill feed. Now maybe you'll realize how dumb you looked claiming that we were using multiple accounts to spy on players or figure out what someone was flying. There was never any need for multiple accounts, the stats page functions as a kill feed when refreshed.

Just to support what you are saying...
My understanding so far, on limited info, is also it is not a cashflow issue. There is apparently a contractual dispute involving IP or source escrow. My guess is ED has a enforcement clause and is withholding payment until Razbam gets back into compliance.
It may be hardball, but my guess is withholding payments wasn't the first step. And a CEO has a fiduciary duty to protect any IP aggressively. Those are stockholder's assets. That's his job. In some cases if they don't, they can lose rights to their IP if they haven't shown vigorous effort to protect.
I know it's not popular to side with the bigger company, but it seems to me Razbam is the one who has been acting unprofessional, but this is probably a better topic for the O'Club.

In fact, that's precisely why so many videos of you got posted, because you kept claiming we/I couldn't beat you 1v1, so we posted films of you losing 1v1, 1v2, 2v2, and 2v3-4 - then you claimed that was egotistical bashing, when in reality it was you getting caught in lies. lol how predictable.

Well this is a global war style game, not a server or match play. It's about using strategy and tactics to win a war, not chase individuals around the map because you have something out for them. I'd rather you have to check the stats page after I land kills rather than while I'm in the middle of a sortie. I just find it really crazy that you have to resort to looking at Stat pages to track people. Why can't you just fight like everyone else in the fog of war and use strategy to win instead of watching stats and trying to create outside advantages? To me, going this far isn't what most of the players in the game are trying to achieve. It pretty much ruins the war strategy of the game IMO.

If your "strategy" relies on anonymity, then it isn't much of a strategy. I stream at least 50% of the time I'm flying and I don't give a damn if people hunt me or track me or come after me. It doesn't affect me nor do I complain about it. Why? Because that's the norm in every other game out there. I'm used to it.
Further, if you think I'm going to extremes... lol.

I used to film all the time. I don’t even remember how to turn it on anymore. Some of us have lives outside of the game and don’t care to spend the time maintaining a film library and catalogue every encounter to prove we all have our own perspective. Your films show your perspective. It’s your truth but not his/the truth. You post films like it’s always indisputable evidence of everything. It can support your assertions but it’s rarely indisputable proof. Especially when it’s constantly doctored and edited to suit your narrative. Like a magician. Watching something from the audience’s perspective is totally different from seeing it from back stage.
Plus I’m not here trying to defend myself from being permabanned (again) for doing the same type of stuff I was permabanned in the first place for. That’s you.
I get why you record everything but find it ironic that it was recording (and posting) stuff that got you banned to begin with if memory serves. So please keep posting films.

Why does it matter how many kills our squad has? Do you care to guess why? We fight! We find the biggest red dar and we bow our head and we dive straight in to the fray. If you are in the way then we will rail road you. How does one guy skyyr target 6 guys? Can you not defend your self? I am targeted all day in the arenas I love it! You’re the one that’s constantly about score this score that no one cares from our squad about score (see above statement about the biggest red dar). As far as the 190d EVERYONE IS IN THAT PLANE. Last night there was literally 6 bish over a6 out of 8 planes in a 190d. It’s not because they want to fight it’s more so when their failed BNZ run fails because they are doing 545 mph and can’t hit anything they can escape. No one is hunting you. You are just paranoid and out classed and it’s showing up and that’s killing you.

Again, completely false statement when I watch skyyr switch from my team or switch from one enemy team to the enemy I'm fighting and then comes in to pick me in a rocket plane with his advantage. I have many films of this in 2 months, so it's not paranoia at all, it's clearly targeting players and we've all said and seen the same thing. That's why many of them have left in disgust.

So if I'm defending a field while you are on the other enemy team, then switch to that team in the middle of my sortie to target and and come right at me in base defense where I'm low n slow trying to defend a base take, How is that in anyway fair competition? It's not and it's garbage gameplay.

Can I count as a win the one where I shot your vert stab off as you tried to run and you managed a very lucky ditch?
It seems to me, ma'am, that you hate dying and had a bad experience.
Also, I can control and fly a plane for hours without a vert stab. Flying a plane without a vert stab is fairly easy and I've even shot players down without one. I'm not even remotely exaggerating btw - ask my squad members how many times I fly for grids and land easily without v-stabs. You think it's luck? lol
A kill message is a kill. Quit crying and get good. Want more kills? Get more kill messages. Don't like dying? Don't give me a kill message. Don't like collisions? Then don't fly into me.
A score like 1 to 1, 2 to 2, or even 6 to 4? Yeah, that's likely an even trade of blows to some degree. 29 to 6? Yeah, you're failing often and hard.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to re-watch the last encounter we had where you got owned trying to gang me 1v3.

Unfortunately, the game no longer exist as it once did. We have a kill board that tells everyone who shot who, we have a DAR that gives away positions too easily. And now we have an abusive sociopath and his squad who play endless hours raking up kills in rocket planes with multiple accounts who switch just to target players and gang and harass them regardless of the war or battle. Skyyr goes where I go, switch in a moment, switch twice in 15 minutes to 2 teams on the front I'm at. Roll and go right for me every time I spend an hour to play the game. His squad on my team while he goes to the other. This is absolute pettiness.
IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU WANTED HITECH? YOU WANT SOCIOPATHS TO RUN OFF LONG TIME PLAYERS? IM TIRED OF THIS BULCH$T. I KNOW MANY OTHERS ARE TOO. THE 8 SHADE ACCOUNTS AREN'T GONNA BE ENOUGH HERE PRETTY SOON ALLOWING THIS.
YOU ARE LOSING MANY OF YOUR LONG TIME SUBS BECAUSE OF THE DERANGEMENT AND OBSESSION THIS PLAYER HAS WITH ME AND OTHERS TO TORMENT AND RUIN THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH GANG STALKING TACTICS. I DEMAND A RESPONSE FROM YOU ABOUT THIS ABUSIVE SHADING AND SQUAD TARGETING THAT I AND OTHERS HAVE MULTIPLE EXAMPLES OF. THIS IS RUINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME AND GAMEPLAY.
I NO LONGER ENJOY PLAYING WHEN AN AZZH0LE SWITCHES TO EVERY FIGHT IM AT EVERY SORTIE I FLY ONCE I GET A KILL. IM DEFENDING MY FIELD AND HE SWITCHES TO COME GANG ME ON BOTH FRONTS WITHIN 10 MINUTES. I WILL NON STOP POST ABOUT THIS UNTIL THIS COMES TO AN END. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE GAMEPLAY AND I WONT STAND FOR IT.
THIS IS A FORMAL COMPLAINT.
This tone and style of rant is exactly what you would expect from someone not connected with reality.
Demand a response from anyone for anything? Go f*** yourself You no longer enjoy playing? Go f*** yourself and play somewhere else You won't stand for it? Go f*** yourself
You opinion matters to no one other then your entitled self. Have a tearful temper tantrum so everyone here can read what a pathetic piece of crap you are? Guess what, you can go f*** yourself.

There was no spinning of anything. The entire chat log is visible. You didn't say anything about fun or your rules until you started whining about front-quarter shots that you never even had a guns solution in. Then you started crying about ego. I was simply using 1v1 dueling bracket rules lmao. Apparently you can't handle them. The biggest 5h1t talker in the game is complaining about ego lol and then trying to act like he wanted some friendly fights. There is nothing friendly in my regards to you. But the truth is no one cares. Don't like dying? Then don't die. Better luck next time. 29 - 6
Spin harder, boi. Like I said you're nothing new or special, your weaksauce "here for the ego win" is merely a repeat of previous egobois, right down to the front quarter for the win shots. Been there done that, did the same back - boring.
More than capable of handling the dueling bracket rules and participants;I participated in them - have you ever? But we weren't dueling. Spin harder, boi.
Dawww, look at the little boi in you bypassing the forum language filter. Pretty sure flippz holds that spot, tho' since he can't even back it up, lofl.
Legacy. I have one, you have none. 1 - 0 where it matters, right in the ego!
Sit down. Maybe actually try and get better instead of relying on the same 1 or 2 tricks.
Oh yeah, be sure to bring help if you're hunting me - you already admitted it takes 3 of you weebz to get me (while saving you.)

I used to film all the time. I don’t even remember how to turn it on anymore. Some of us have lives outside of the game and don’t care to spend the time maintaining a film library and catalogue every encounter to prove we all have our own perspective. Your films show your perspective. It’s your truth but not his/the truth. You post films like it’s always indisputable evidence of everything. It can support your assertions but it’s rarely indisputable proof. Especially when it’s constantly doctored and edited to suit your narrative. Like a magician. Watching something from the audience’s perspective is totally different from seeing it from back stage.
Plus I’m not here trying to defend myself from being permabanned (again) for doing the same type of stuff I was permabanned in the first place for. That’s you.
I get why you record everything but find it ironic that it was recording (and posting) stuff that got you banned to begin with if memory serves. So please keep posting films.
Well said.

Growling Sidewinder (fellow Canadian) knows a lot of catch phrases, and sets up his videos in order to make use of them. It's a successful business model for Youtube views, not an air combat technical school for online games.
He's competed in various DCS events under a different name in the past, and in the 1v1 dogfight events, has typically gotten smoked in the very early rounds. There are LOTS of players in DCS who are far, far better than him. They don't make 6 figures a year making daily videos though. IMO his vids are harmless, and a good way to generate interest in the DCS world. That's how they got me back into it - YT vids.
I've found this to be the case in almost every sim. Vudu15 and Badboy/Gunzo come to mind as the AH versions of GS. The pilots acting as de facto instructors or showcasing technical breakdowns tend to be the worst.
Most of the time, regarding actual skills (not educational topics), this saying exists for a reason: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."

Well this is a global war style game, not a server or match play. It's about using strategy and tactics to win a war, not chase individuals around the map because you have something out for them. I'd rather you have to check the stats page after I land kills rather than while I'm in the middle of a sortie. I just find it really crazy that you have to resort to looking at Stat pages to track people. Why can't you just fight like everyone else in the fog of war and use strategy to win instead of watching stats and trying to create outside advantages? To me, going this far isn't what most of the players in the game are trying to achieve. It pretty much ruins the war strategy of the game IMO.
I think this was the original premise for the game, but the game has changed over the years, and now with less care from Hitech its going to go the way the majority of players push it.
Years ago we had squads that worked together and ran multi pronged missions to attach bases/strats. Defense was often co ordinated either by a squad, or a group a players working together to stop/slow the attack. Well dones! where often yelled across the radio when an attack was repelled.
Today the game seems to be more about kills and getting your name in lights. You dont even have to land them any more, just as long as they are scrolling along the text bar that so and so killed so and so for kill number 2,3,4,5. This makes for more guys blasting threw with the late war monsters and running away at the first sign of trouble.
Like I said, the game has changed. Has that made more players leave? Maybe, but maybe its the boredom of that style of play that has made them leave too. We dont know, and Hitechs not talking.

I was never a"name in lights" guy, really. I was happy with, as you said, participating and trying my hand at staging multi-pronged missions at stopping the advance, or advancing our front. The "names in lights" just came with it, and with my poor ACM skills, it was just pure luck that it happened at all. :D That's okay. Running tedious resup was okay, and it was enough to get a few "wtg"'s from that.

Yep.. after doing the huge main arena 20K, 30 flight buff runs 10-20 years ago.. it's so sad to see what little remains right now. I think one of the only remaining videos that can be found showing the sheer scale of the AH community- members of all kinds who found their particular niche.. is after C.O. Vega of DHBG passed away. I will never forget.

lol
"I taught Vraciu, who's great at skin making." Yeah, maybe you taught him a few technical and execution details. Literally everyone I know comments on Vraciu's skins and how much they like them. Yes, his skins are great.

This stuff literally breaks my heart! 2 players, YES Skyyr and Violator...2 of the most, well more than 2,but these fellers have influenced my AH progress/Fun ....eh, I dont have the words to explain what I am trying to convey. This community saved me! Diagnosed with MS 2002.....SSI Disability2007...House fire 2013....Neighbor who had Satellite TV, let us stay in their house, which was for sale... Military Channel Add 2013. 1stpar3-BW1stpar-ULCapkid was born/saved! It was a perfect situation. From that situation to this stuff, NOW? Really? I don't understand THE WHY. It is a game! No harm? No foul? I honestly don't get it! The animosity escapes my understanding I guess?
Life hasn't had its way and humbled some....YET. Funny (not really) when you go through a LOT of stuff the small beans don't matter anymore. The irrational thought of invisibility. Some live in their own head.
IMO, when one makes 30 kills without being killed themselves, now they have my attention. Anything else,..Meh! If I can kill em with the stick I have, they are absolutely not invisible.

Its up to the players to make this a better game, Animl. I'm certainly not going to stand for being fallowed around the map by a player every time I play the game when he's on, and if Hitech doesn't feel he should at least respond to my emails about this, than I had no choice but to bring it to the forum and call him out for crap tactics ruining the gameplay for me and others. If I can't stand it. I can't imagine what less skilled players have to deal with.

I get it. I wish there wasn’t a reason for them. You have valid points In the old days, back in band camp, there were dweeb hunts.
Again, If I can beat someone, anyone, they are not invincible. I’ve done it at 12:00 and 6:00. To beat him you must be co-alt and fast, that will equalize it. In HOs nise down to aboid strikes AND build speed right as they pass loop up hard inverted you’ll see what direction they are going, ur now on their 6 because you had the speed to do so, you also gain more speed as you nose down to their 6. It works 90% of the time. Game on. Make the kill, say nothing.
I’ll stay off the HT subject.

This is for any newbies here. Go watch Skyyr's films on YouTube. You will learn a lot just by watching the text buffer when to turn off auto trim. You'll hear when he uses flaps, reduces rpm, shuts off engine, when he pulls hard on the stick, when he rolls. Hell even makes comments about particular planes. Or you can come here and listen too people take a dump on everyone because they didn't get enough teet time and attention. I got three kills tonight in a 109 G2 using what I learned from those videos.

Let me put it this way. If You let these baby seals run you out, I’ll find where you live and poop on your doorstep :) I don’t tolerate weakness. You know I mean well when I say that. Over 30-35 yrs, can you imagine how many tried to push me out with 12 yr old mentality? You witnessed some of it.
You just hang tight, you’re a good quality addition to AH.
There are better more effective ways to deal with this. He would not compare himself with you guys if you were not above average. You’re his bench mark. Figure out his weakness and dispatch your weapon, say nothing, listen to nothing.

:rolleyes: please clown. My in game is far more superior than yours. It's why you have to chase me all over the map and create advantages over me and you still cannot kill me. :rofl
There's only about 3 or 4 people left who still think you have any credibility left.
Actually that was for switching to a shade last month and attacking me while your squas was on my team when you first started doing this, and I called you and your clown show out for it. Fully deserved. BTW, once I got out of the 190A5 and in a plane to compete with your la7, you couldn't kill me lol and should have died twice but the bullets didn't work lol.

I love how you say I cannot kill you, then you reference a night where you died 3 times in under 15 minutes, two of times being 1v2 with an LA-7 winging with you lol. That same night when you said only noobs flew LA-7s and Spit 16s, then you got in one yourself because you couldn't stop dying.
Then you mashed the trigger so bad your accuracy dropped to 6% from 14% and you still didn't get a kill.

This was all under his shade AntiHero mind you.
I flew 3 sorties in a 190A5. Your first kill on me with the ridiculous upside down immilman 1 shot kill. Second in 190A5 you climb straight up about 5k in La7 to get me trying to rope. Thought I'd have the E for that, whatever. Third, I was getting alt heading back to your field, you knew that and met me at 12-13k to be able to have more speed and E than me in a La7, nothing I could do really. Actually your first shot on me there was also ridiculous and cannot even believe how that connected.
So then I grab a Spit16. Put 30 bullets in you, somehow 15 bullets with gas leak doesn't catch you on fire, sigh... and you run a sector until your 109K bud comes to pick.
Then I grab a spit8 chase you, shoot you. Get assist.
Then Ki84, you buzz in to attack, miss, I shoot and cannot believe that a bullet missed you, even the film is confused how that missed. And you got picked trying to kill me again because you don't care about SA when you are trying to target me. Something I've noticed and it's pretty funny.

I don't need you to pay for my accounts. I'm all good, but thanks. There are others who need that help to have an account.
You see, he's just pissed off because I was able to beat his fighter rank on the last day of the month last month regardless of his multiple targeting opportunities :rofl
Now, he's playing every second of the day to make sure I don't have any success when I roll for a fight. Hell switch from my team to Rooks to Bish in 15 minutes and roll a La7 or 152 while I'm already in flight to chase me around the map as soon as I get a kill. That's unsportsmanlike and I'm going to call out these petty tactics by him and his squad.
4,000 kills by their squad already this tour and we still have 11-12 days to go. If you don't think that's having a negative impact on the game, I've got news for you.
And if you look at the current stats, the 190D now has the highest amount of kills 3,000, 800 more than a spit16, with the highest K/D 1.95 of any other non perked plane. That represents a problem because is just horrible for fights in the MA. 500 cannons. Easy to pick, easy to run, can go 600 mph in a dive. This plane is a crutch plane and these guys flying it for 200 hours a month is a detriment which I've warned about for a long time even before judge and skyyr showed up.
Yes! I would gladly pay for any accounts.....give me account info! Yeah, I know...we have discussed things. It hurts my heart. You guys saved my life, believe it or not? I am having fun, beyond measure. Yet it isn't enough for GAME PLAY STAPLES? :bhead

Apparently I'm one of the few that's actually beat skyyr in a 1v1 fight when he couldnt suceed in the rope. So his credibility is way out in left field at this point. Especially with skins as well, as Devil made beautiful skins for MOA.

The funny thing is when we'd kill each other, neither of us dropped F bombs on vox or screamed (literally) at the top of our lungs on country or came to the forums to whine about dying or how hard it was lol. We just kept upping to kill each other. It was fun. I should send you videos of the aforementioned items, it's kind of hilarious. Oh, how the playerbase has changed lol.
You should come back man, you'd have virtually no competition in the current environment.

send them over! I’m bored at my desk currently at APG lol. I always found it fun in a constructive way being beat! Just makes you better in the end! I’d like to come back, really I would. It’s been over a year or so since I upped a plane. I’d be really rusty for sure, but I don’t think it would take much to get back in order.

Apparently I'm one of the few that's actually beat skyyr in a 1v1 fight when he couldnt suceed in the rope. So his credibility is way out in left field at this point. Especially with skins as well, as Devil made beautiful skins for MOA.
I beat him like 3 of 7 times 1-1, he won the last two by HO and a pick. Then bhe stole a kill after I nailed a guy and fought for 10 min 1-1. His kills are not all acm. He’s goid, I’ve seen better.

Respectfully, you've not beaten me "1v1" once. Every single kill you've gotten has been asymmetrical, in different planes, at different speeds, and certainly not 1v1 (every scenario had multiple cons in the area) except once when you came at me with a ton of speed immediately after takeoff and I was trying to keep an eye on YUCCA, who was hovering over the base. Even that wasn't a 1v1, but I hadn't engaged anyone prior, so it would be easy to claim I was only being shot at by you.
If you'd like to go to the DA 1v1, I'll gladly show you the difference. I know you won't accept (most won't, because they're afraid out the outcome), but there's a massive difference between an actual "1v1" and an MA vulch kill.
And just for the record, when players say "1v1," they mean same plane, same alt. Almost no one mentioning 1v1's is talking about MA kills. MA kills are meaningless, and I can say that with over 2k kills last tour and over 1.2k currently. It's easier to get 10+ kills on someone in the MA than it is to get a single kill 1v1 in the DA.
Also, I didnt steal your last kill. I watched you struggle with a 325th member for 10 minutes. I killed him when he dove past me and into his ack. If you had properly controlled the fight, it wouldn't have taken 10+ minutes nor would you have dropped from 10k to the deck.

Our MA fights back in the day, 2017-19, were a lot of fun, it was the last time someone gave me actual run for my money and was a good reason I stayed longer. It was a new style, I was forced to adapt to it, learned from it or die. A lot of people in this game don’t quite understand how to study films and apply what they see (in film) in the game. Once they figure that part out the skill gap of players will close quite a bit and the players that are playing will have much more fun.
Yep I thought I was a decent player before, but it's for this reason I myself am even quite a lot better these days than I was years ago when I played AH consistently. Learning from players with different styles like Skyyr, there are several of them out there in other sims, not only him. Adapt and implement it into your own flying, then use whichever style is necessary in the moment. And of course watching your films and learning from the mistakes visualizes what you need to do.

Back when we started it was Kazaa, Grizz, Bruv, Pervert, TonyJoey, sunsfan, Badboy and DrBone to learn from. Was brutal trying to adjust for each and everyone of those guys.

Yeah if it wasn't for players like them and many more after them, neither of us would have developed as we have. SunsFan had a cool rolling scissors maneuver I still use to this day, when everybody else is trying to roll at the top, you just nose down and blap them xDD Grizz was left handed so he would always do the opposite merge and everybody thought it was witchcraft. Would be fun to replay the same scenarios today having learned so much, the results for both of us would be quite different. :evil:

My guess is that with the ma filled with so many players back then that their overall killer abilities were diluted for the majority of players...I don't recall these shenanigans back then from any of the listed above..
Hope to see them all back in ma someday

Yeah they were a lot of fun to fight and very good.
This isn't about the fight though. This is about manipulation. Getting better is one thing, having a player change sides while you are fighting so they can gain the advantage over you is another. If Skyyr was naturally playing like the rest of us, I wouldn't have a problem. When I'm defending a field and he switches to engage me in a La7, and then I go to the other side to defend a field and he switches to that team to engage me in a La7, it's not natural because now I have to climb up and wait for the guy after he just switched. If this happened once in a while, it would still be annoying but I'd get over it, however this is happening every sortie I fly when he's on, and it's just ruining the experience when I have to constantly go defensive when I'm trying to save a field that he has no intentions of actually caring about. This ruins the gameplay and strategy for me. The constant La7, 190D barrage is extremely tiring for most because as a player said on Friday "they really know how to suck the fun right out the room".

I'm sure these guys are good,...but also remember,.. the MA was like fishing in a barrel in the day. just fly and fire and you'll hit something. One reasons I left. If I logged in and saw 2 almost full arenas, off I went. It was just too easy. I wasn't flyin much before I left anyway for that reason. I like SOME challenge. It didn't take a lot of skill to rack up points. Not trying to discredit anyone, but it was a different environment.
Back in band camp Skyyr would be a lil above average. If it weren't for my stick issues, I would have killed him a lot more. He's got a better stick which leads to better aim,..so that's that. ACM? average.
This is why I rarely liked a point system for myself. It doesn't prove ACM, and a lot of kills are very cheap. Personally I wish HOs were not counted at all. Skyyr is fast to go into the HO merge. Don't take the first merge. Unfortunately, HOs are a epidemic. Gamers do that stuff. Simmers want a real fight.
He's not bad, he's just not as good as he thinks. Common in most humans.
He's a gamer who will exploit everything against a simmer, who is not really interested in points or status. we either have fun or we don't. I rarely even bother to try to land, I just keep goin til I'm dead.

Unfortunately, the game no longer exist as it once did. We have a kill board that tells everyone who shot who, we have a DAR that gives away positions too easily. And now we have an abusive sociopath and his squad who play endless hours raking up kills in rocket planes with multiple accounts who switch just to target players and gang and harass them regardless of the war or battle. Skyyr goes where I go, switch in a moment, switch twice in 15 minutes to 2 teams on the front I'm at. Roll and go right for me every time I spend an hour to play the game. His squad on my team while he goes to the other. This is absolute pettiness.
IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU WANTED HITECH? YOU WANT SOCIOPATHS TO RUN OFF LONG TIME PLAYERS? IM TIRED OF THIS BULCH$T. I KNOW MANY OTHERS ARE TOO. THE 8 SHADE ACCOUNTS AREN'T GONNA BE ENOUGH HERE PRETTY SOON ALLOWING THIS.
YOU ARE LOSING MANY OF YOUR LONG TIME SUBS BECAUSE OF THE DERANGEMENT AND OBSESSION THIS PLAYER HAS WITH ME AND OTHERS TO TORMENT AND RUIN THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH GANG STALKING TACTICS. I DEMAND A RESPONSE FROM YOU ABOUT THIS ABUSIVE SHADING AND SQUAD TARGETING THAT I AND OTHERS HAVE MULTIPLE EXAMPLES OF. THIS IS RUINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME AND GAMEPLAY.
I NO LONGER ENJOY PLAYING WHEN AN AZZH0LE SWITCHES TO EVERY FIGHT IM AT EVERY SORTIE I FLY ONCE I GET A KILL. IM DEFENDING MY FIELD AND HE SWITCHES TO COME GANG ME ON BOTH FRONTS WITHIN 10 MINUTES. I WILL NON STOP POST ABOUT THIS UNTIL THIS COMES TO AN END. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE GAMEPLAY AND I WONT STAND FOR IT.
THIS IS A FORMAL COMPLAINT.
The blame goes to who allows it. It's human nature to push the envelope. Why we have player skimmers and trolls here,.. it's obviously allowed.
Skyyr is out of hand with his 2 accounts. He uses it to find where someone is, what they are flying and shortly he will be killing them. I watched him do it to Judge. He's a point hungry gamer who will get away with anything he can get away with. Most of us are simmers and that's why Gamers are super annoying, and they love being annoying,... some people actually thrive on being hated.

Lollllllll
You sound like someone who's only fights with Skyyr are in the MA. Skyyr slaughtered many of the people in that list, including Grizz.
Tell you what: you duel Skyyr in the DA and if you can get 3 kills on him, I'll pay your sub for a year. Just 3 kills.
Oh the beatdown is going to be epic.

Sounds about like a genetically hardwired male on a female athletic team who is that desperate to win. Ethics be damned.

Civilizations with advanced technology confronting relatively primitive societies. Who you root for depends on where you sit. The 50's sci-fi did it best. Well, maybe not the best. Okay, rather badly.
