I saw a friendly 51 the other night with no name as well.  Check 6'd him and got "Check 6       "

Even when AI was being tested in the MA it had a drone "name".

Usually you'll figure out it's "someone" when they type in the text buffer and there's no name next to the text.

I've had that "No name in the text buffer" thing happen to me before WrongWay. Don't know if it affected my icon name also, but stands to reason that it did. Nobody pointed it out though. Relogging fixed it.

I once sent in a video of a pony that I reduced to one wing, then to no wing with no apparent effect whatsoever. After I took the one wing off, he proceeded to kill me turn-fighting. I re-upped and took the guy's other wing off, kept on fighting, and eventually received a pilot wound from the torpedo that was left.

Just a WEE bit frustrating. :mad:

I had the same thing almost against an f6f. I was in b-26s. I took of both wings, his tail, and flamed him. After I used up all my tailgun ammo he shot all 3 of my bombers down and then landed the kills.  I sent the film in. Skuzzy replied promptly. It is a known bug ,even though the guy got kill credit, upon landing the game boots you.  Still frustrating but it wasn't anything "hacked".  Poor guy prolly thought he was in an ubercat.... :noid

I had this the other day I sent it to skuzzy and he said it was an old bug that they believed they had fixed.  I hadn't seen anything like it since i've started playing AH, 

Basically a friendly P51 with no name, was flying through an enemy base getting shot at but taking no damage,  I stayed alive amongst many red guys to film him,  he pinged me up, i pinged him up, i eventually flew straight for him to shoot my wing off.

shows up on the film clearly.  The enemy planes said they saw no P51, but my FE had this guy loaded as a friendly when he was actually enemy.  :noid

Post by: SectorNine50 on February 26, 2009, 05:04:34 AM
I saw the film as well, this seemed very weird.  I don't think it was a hack, as the player didn't really seem to be doing anything productive in the duration of the film.

It was a P51D in the mid-war arena and the icon was green, but all that was there was the bishop icon where the name should be.  It'd be interesting to see what that player saw from his end, because when you went into his a/c in the film, it had recorded his head movements (that's why I figure it was human, and not A.I.) and all the cons around him appeared red (I'm assuming because it was recording from Tuk's "point of view").  The ack seemed to go right through him, whereas usually friendlies can still be hit by ack if unlucky enough to get in it's line of fire (I've died this way).

From what I understand, usually when there is a log-in issue, the player will appear correctly, but the damage will not record correctly.  This was literally like a little ghost pony flying around doing... well really nothing...  So it was like Casper the friendly ghost pony...

There is no reason to get huffy over this thread, and I don't think it should be locked.  He wasn't accusing any one person of hacking, and he didn't post the film in the thread.  Sure the title could've been a little different, but usually first reactions to something like a P-51D in the mid-war arena is usually a "hack."

I would be interested to know what causes it just out of my sheer nerdy curiosity.  So Skuzzy, if ya roll through, and if the information isn't "classified" (for a lack of a better word...), it'd be cool to know! :)

Way back when, any plane whose info (other than its position in the arena) that hadn't been updated yet (usually happened when you logged on and roster still filling up) was in sight, it would show up as a bish P51D.  So, auto ack being a front end thing, youd have what was really a C47 show up as a P51D, landing at 80mph and barely any flare, then dropping troops at the map room... It kinda sounds like the OP. If the OP sighting was a friendly without updated info, he might have shown up as an enemy 51D drawing ack, but only from the OP's front end.

    I also saw the film wonder if someone wasn't testing or something. There was no name icon or pilot name in film viewer the  friendly pony lands @ eny base. Then upps a red icon f6f again with no pilot name in film viewer. the f6f drops eggs on tuk151 then there is a name (not gonna say it) shot you down     :confused:

Yeah, I still remember the name of the pilot in question, and he's still around, so I'm pretty sure he wasn't hacking. I do wonder if he knew he was wingless though. Worst thing about it was, the more I shot him up, the smaller the remaining "target" got. After a while it was like fighting a 400mph seagull. :D

As far as I know!  That's why you have stuff like puffy hitting someone on your end, but someone else saying they've got puffy all over em... Prolly also why you sometimes see CV planes sitting on invisible ships (the same ship you're "supposed" to be on).
