I didn't know those things were so uber!
While defending a town with a Tiger, I pumped 8 rounds into one of those things. 2 rounds from about 200 and 6 rounds point blank (he got stuck in some water so I stopped to help). :D In the end the M-8 never died. He towered out and I only got an assist:mad:
I wish I would have known before that they kicked so much "A". This is my new number one GV ride.
:aok

Your lucky. if it were me in the tiger I would have hit it with 10 rounds in the driverside window,the engine compartment. the turret and its butt all would have either ricocheted or would have had little effect.
the M8 in turn would have wheeled his turret around and killed me with one shot
LOL

HOLLY ****!
That is lame as lame gets. I have never seen "warping" that bad from a burp in someones connection. It would have been one thing if it was just for a few seconds and that was the end of it. But this guy was going from -300ft to 24k to flying around IN the ground waiting for something to happen. Total bs.

Shoulda used HE. It would have died on the first hit.

You think that the muzzle blast alone at point blank would send it flying into the next sector. I was so close to him I could count the lug nuts on the tires. For kicks I lit him up with the MG too.
No respect!
-
That was rediculous, never seen anything that bad.
-
OMG:O :O .....i thought he was bad in gvs...that was retarded. Something has to be done.
Notice how he would not show up for a bit. Probably cause he lost host from pulling the cable(or whatever) and had to relog:huh

file showing up as weird extension..cant open :(

I had an experience with him in the MA. The funny thing is he wouldn't start warping until I got within 500m of him. After I killed him I PM'ed him and told him he was warping like crazy. He told me he was having connection problems...:rolleyes:

You have to have winrar to decompress the file. see my link to get it. It's a powerful and useful archiving tool.

To be fair to the accused, I have had similar problems. Not playing tonite because my connex is ugly. Generally, I dont even try when its this bad. I know its my cable company and they told me that they would have things fixed in...umm, 2 weeks lol.
Now, I haven't warped quite as bad as described here, but I have been acused of jiggling the cable. Stupidest thing I ever heard. Anyone who thinks its even possible must have managed to do it once or twice. Cant see how it could be done, I lose conection completely if I sneeze too hard.
Point being..... dont start a witch hunt, wierd stuff happens all the time.

If someone's connection is this bad on such a consistant basis then AH2 is way too tolerant of bad connections. However I think in this case the warps happened in way too convenient ways, while taking off, when someone is on the 6, just to appear as troops are being dropped, but was stable enough to get a shot in on another player. 1 or 2 minutes of bad connectivity is one thing, 16 minutes with a capped base and a miraculous base save is another.
-
A bad connection means I can only play in a GV, and even then its kinda pointless. I've had good connections and bad connections and ever single time (in my own mind anyway ;) ) I lose my tiger to a one ping shot from a panzer.
Sometimes I think I could lose a tiger to a bailed pilots .45 :p

This one of the very few games that can be played with a poor connection. I think thats part of its appeal. A guy on a poor dial up connex can still play and have fun. Limit the game to people on "good" cable and dsl and you limit the number of people who play by a pretty good margin I'd bet.
On the topic of the thread, it seems to me that the M8 propably was on a poor connection, maybe even in the middle of losing host connex.

I doubt that. People play can play CS:S, WoW, and 99% of other online games with a dialup.
There is a huge difference between a dialup connection with a 275ms-450ms ping and one with a 1000+ms ping with 20%+ of packet loss(which in this day and age is 80% intentional).
Also I am sure the 10+ people who had 30mins+ invested into capturing this base, not to mention the person just sitting there in an M3 had alot of the appeal taken out of the game for them when ONE person with a "bad" connection can thwart their plans with no ability to retaliate at all.
Sorry for stealing the thread, seems these posts should go into

well, you have a good point there. I cant argue against what you are saying (you just had to take away my fun ;) ).
My point about dialup is that when i was on it, i could play AH pretty well, but the very few other games I tried didn't work out so well for me. I was just too slow. Generally, I had 250 to 500 ping then. I even used to play on a satellite connection. Got pretty warpy sometimes, other times was OK.
On cable now and when I logged on tonight my ping was jumping from under 100 to over 2000. Logged off, didn't even try it. Sure hope they get those T1 lines in soon.
