Title: Ditching
Post by: Coronado on October 07, 2009, 07:57:11 PM: Why is it when you kill a ground vehicle, base stops flashing and you're no more than 200 yards off base. You get a "ditch" message when you tower out?

Just get 6k away from any enemy position and you can land no prob.

Post by: Anaxogoras on October 09, 2009, 11:35:18 AM: I understand the rules for a safe landing vs. a proxy when you tower out, but ditching in a gv still confuses me. What are the conditions for a ditch?

When it's not quite a B, then it is a Ditch. :neener:

HA HA like landing any amount of kills in a Gv matter,unless its like a M3 or a jeep.I mean there are so many hanger and spawn campers out there.Its just not the same as seeing ,say snailman land 9 kills in the new jug last night.I remember thouse names in lights.

Post by: Krusty on October 09, 2009, 04:41:22 PM: Person 1 kills person 2, when both are inside "base flash range."

Person 2 respawns OUTSIDE "base flash range" but still well within "make the other guy ditch" range....

Person 1 sees nobody, towers, gets ditch.

Doesn't mean he was alone.

I thought that sequence of events lead to a proxy.

Post by: OOZ662 on October 09, 2009, 05:10:53 PM: Hell, everything about the GV ditching system seems random now. It used to be a solid, predictable system. Now I'm confused.
