Was flying a 202 over Bish main island the other day pretending I was a bomber so I could get 1 vs 1 action. Anyhow FW 190 came along and we started dogfighting. Strangely enough the FW wanted to turn with me which eventually let me get nicely on his six. Fired a couple of feeler shots and got 2 pings n was just about to blast him when he suddenly stopped suspended in mid-air for about 5 seconds. Checked my six, guess what?
Now that 190 never warped even slighty before I got the hits!!!.
Now gonna be accused of whining here I suppose, point is not to whine but rather to inquire as to why the host doesn't reverse the effect of the warp. If a plane warps as it did in my case, should'nt I if I fire at the suspended plane still get the kill instead of this warping plane who magically transports around on to my six. Of course he still did'nt get the kill cause I was 202 and got outta the way quickly.
-
First, where's the film? ;)
second, 5 seconds is an exaggeration in this case, correct? I've never seen a warp go on that long before.
Maybe it was your connection that got screwy? Did you check the beacon light?

"the other day pretending I was a bomber
Sorry. I try! But I just can't read past that. :) lol

This isn't the film of Zygote's mystery warper, but it is the worst warper I've ever seen personally. Keep watch on the smoking spitfire. I knew these were nimble planes, but this one goes under water! I find it hard to belive that the pilot saw nothing out of the ordinary. I'm still not sure what killed me :)

Zygote,
As you know I am the only person in this comunity that has Godly powers. I take great offence to you "PRETENDING" that you have the "POWER" to covert your 205 into a bomber. Please refrain from making such remarks infront of the minions of the Aces High comunity as I do not wish them to "IDOLISE" another person as there "GOD"
If you consist in doing so I will have to send you to Flight Sim hell. Where the only thing that you will be flying is going to be a C47 in a world full of Niki's
Now don't forget to say your prayers and give generously Yada Yada Yada.
"Shooting Chutes sends you to hell"

Zygote are you sure it wasn't because your own connection?
Yesterday your plane did warps (over A47) while others flied smoothly. After I checked my net-status I asked you to check your connection.
-
zygote are u mean me ? or some 1 other ? anyway dont think 190 cant turn with 202 ;) it cant turn even with a buff but it can looks like turn , hehe
-
lol no minus, think our fight was over 45, no warps just good flying on your half.
But yes, definitely 5 secs at least, 190 hung suspended in mid air, was not a normal warp. And yes may have been my connect but just seemed lil convenient it happened just after the first ping. Did'nt film but checked connect afterwards no spikes to be found.
Sorry God, wont happen again :eek:
and really what would be the point of exaggerating lying bout this??? It happened and unless you have reason to doubt my sincerity then dont!

by pretending to be bomber, I mean't I was flying high, straight and level towards HQ, obviously on dar, bish would've assumed I was bomber on way to hq, so they sent up 190 to kill me.
Works every time :D
-
Its better than what I would have done...
If a C.202 snuck up on me and was about to get a bounce? sheesh... all's fair in that one ;)

I'd say 99% of any warping is internet or server related...logically a plane that takes evasive action will no longer be in front of you if the system burps...I make it a point of filming every fight now...almost always you'll see that plane warped a bit (out of your current view) then flew while you continued to focus on the "ghost"...well after it blinked out...
I do believe that some minor "warp on demand" bs always exists but they cant perdict where you'll go either.
i've probably got 200 warpy clips you can have :)
-
Hehe Zygote I remember your tactics myself :) You were pretending bombing our HQ and you met my G10... Well I must say I was disapointed to find a fighter instead of a buff but what the hell... Its a war out there... :)
