If it's really one player, and he is willing to spend 4x15$, then I just say:

 WTG HTC! :D

Unless a player vulching his own shades for perks & score, I see absolutely no problem with that.

I think it's great! If he wants to give HTC $60 a month to play 4 accounts then I say it's ok with me. He could have 100 accounts and not affect my enjoyment at all

just my $0.02

lol every on that has said somthing is rook,what if you were a knight/bish trying to up and defend a base at once the hangers all drop,then he bails out up's again for town 3 lank sets and a goon and it's sad the rooks and tunes squad relies on tunes to drop a base and or town,not all rooks do,DREDger makes missions but people go with tunes to get ez kills or to say they helped take the base. after he kills the base he BAILS out and grabs another 4 sets of bombers to come back. as HiTech put up a while ago.you have to say in the air for a period of time for the hangers to stay down,if they bail out the hangers should come back up,

You are wrong. I am knight. I fight a lot against tunes. I have no problems at all with that.

Ummm if he's tryin to control all 4 accounts than it should be fairly easy to kill him. He can only control 1 account at a time. So basically outta 12 buffs, only 3 should be shooting back. Sounds like 9 easy kills to me. Heck you get 2-3 other guys to intercept him and he's screwed.

Tunes is the best, I love coming up on one of the two sets of Lancs he isn't manning. If I pick the one he is though, he's a deadly shot.

He pays for his accounts.
He doesn't vulch his own accounts
I see no issue here

Sounds like he had trouble organizing raids.  Instead of whining about it, he took matters into his own hands, and came up with an innovative and perfectly "legal" (if a bit expensive) solution to his frustration.

Plus, I have heard he is actually an overly-intelligent squid in a tank at SeaWorld, thus 4 comps just make sense.

I concur with those that don't see a problem.

He pays for his accounts.  No report of him ever using accounts to pad his scores (and I wouldn't believe it if I did hear someone make that claim).

I've fought along with him when I'm  Rook, I've come across him as an "enemy" when I was Knight.  That he is able to operate four accounts together is quite a feat really....  I was impressed when he was running three.

Coordinated bomber efforts are few and far between in the arenas, so to see one player taking it upon himself to operate that way, !


Be glade he usually sticks to tactical targets.  If he chose to spend a night dedicated to strategic targets, and coordinate with a few porkers, a country could find itself in trouble.

Out of curiosity I just checked the stats. During the last 2 months, I got 66 kills vs 1 death against the tunes collective. This game does need more players of that kind!  ;)

(The trick is to guess which bomber he is currently not manning :D )

I'm pretty sure that tunes is a squad...MW I believe. The 1,2,3,4 are tunes squaddies.

Second what tinman said.

I saw 3 formations of lancs one time nicely seperated.  

My Typhoon pleaded with me to kill every last one of them.  I couldnt deny her willingness to get all over them.  Think one drone was left.  My only complaint is I've seen him have some weird lag going on if he is using the same router or connection on 4 different accounts I think thats a bit off.

Tunes has done this for ages. He takes off 3 (now 4 apparently) sets of bombers for a target scattered. He leaves them and sets them in order to reach the target staggered. Then he bombs lead, ejects. Bombs second, ejects. Bombs third, ejects, and now with a fourth (news to me) I'm guessing he bombs the fourth and ejects.


He's all the same guy. I don't care if he's put his clones in a squad, that's just more lameness.

All same guy, but I and others have tried to cover his planes on their way out from target so he can try and land his kills.  

He does not automatically bail on his runs, so posting that is definitely incorrect.  He tends to run Lancs often, and his flights get shot down more than anything.

Quick look at scores from tour 86 for tunes 1-4 combined:

Kills...........167
Assists........13
Sorties.....1877
Landed.....262 - 14%
Bail...........727
Ditch...........23
Captured....177
Death.......668 - 36%
Disco..........12

Bombers rank between 271 and 368 --- so he hits his targets.

Now, there are a number of bails there.... damaged airplanes (Lancs have weak defense), jump to another, no opposition, trying to get back in the air faster to support squadron operations elsewhere on the map.  Many reasons.

Even so, the argument has been made elsewhere that buff drivers really don't need perk points.  Most don't fly the Arado.  Why bother running a bomber all the way back to land unless you've kills to land, when you can bail and get back into the air all that much faster?  No worse than most activities found in the game.

When I used to fly rook I saw the tunes crew a lot. I never knew it was the same person. At the time, I thought they were all very courteous and polite. So I now will extend that classification to just the one dude...if he wants to pay the money, let him have his fun, he's a nice guy about it at least.

He's not gaming the game, he's not padding his or anyone elses score. He's not using 3 accounts to monitor/spy on all 3 country's.

WTF is the problem?

He has a healthy investment in computers, at minimum your looking at 4 x 600$ or more sometime in the last 2 years.  Plus the 15$ x 4 for the AH accounts, not to mention internet.

If he's a bomber pilot and enjoys switching between 3 lancs & a c-47 more power to him. Hes really not hurting anyone else in any way.  

Its not like 3 guys in bomber interceptors couldn't shut him down cold for any given run.

Now if we could just get a bunch more like him to come Knight.  :)
