I don't know if it would be even remotely possible but.......
I was thinking today after i got a disco while I had lancs at 25K that it would be nice if the game could
save your last know position and once you got back into the game you could continue from where you
were. I rarely ever disco but when i do it always seems to happen during a long flight or long drive.
Like i said i doubt its even possible but if it is it would be great.
-
Can't see how it would be possible. Plus it would be gamed to the extreme. Basically seems like the same thing as asking for a pause button.
I can see it now...
Some dude's 262 is closing fast on your bombers. You hit the magic pause button and just disappear until you figure he gets bored and moves on, at which time you resume right where you were and continue to your target.
-
I would love it but it would be far too over gamed.

Hell no!

please???? :devil
I swear i can fly anything unperked and not disco but everytime i fly a perk plane or up a perked tank i disco. rather frustrating considering how rare it is that i up anything perked.
I think my internet is programmed to know when i'm in somethng perked so it can crash.....
-
This could work... But ,it would require a lot of programming there could be some rules for it, for example it wouldn't be manually operated if you got discoed you would still be flying just how you left it and if you come back within say 1-2 mins or so you can continue where you left off, if you don't come back your plane blows up.
-
I find myself agreeing with gyrene. If you purposely disco then you could wait until the interceptors that had just gotten to your alt went home and then start your bomb run over.
No! Thats a BIG no! :D
-
Well there's got to be something that can be done. I'm fed up with losing perks and losing an entire bombing run b/c of a disco. I don't disco very often but it never fails to happen on long flights and when i'm in perk rides.
If anything at least let me keep my perks when i disco.
-
The best thing you can do is visit the tech support forum and email Skuzzy a ping plot. I believe details are posted in the stickies of that forum or you can write Skuzzy and ask him what he needs to help you find the source of the problem. Sometimes there is nothing he can do to help but quite often he can tell you who to scream at. :D

A frusrstating one at that. I've lost a 262 and 3 C-hogs in the last 2 months from discos. The only nonperk ride I've discoed in was lancs and that happened at 25K.
I don't fly fighters very often so i don't have to many fighter perks. So I'd like to be able to keep them when i disco or let me start back from where I left off.

And how do you prevent abuse?
-
No one read my idea? :confused: It wouldn't be abused if something like that was implemented the attacker would still get to shoot you down if you disco... :bolt:

At the 2003 Con I was rtb with 6 kills in a Yak-9U with HTC craning his neck, as I hit my final approach. Then "WHAM!", disco. He laughed hard and rectified a server issue. Bottom line though, disco's happen. We've ALL lost 262's to disco's, don't think you're the only one.

They have something like this in world of tanks.
You have 2 minutes to reconnect and get back into the game and if you do you can leave off where you discoed.
But in WOT your tank is still in the game and still killable. Youre basically a sitting duck and it's lucky to come back to an undamaged tank.
Have it so that when you disconnect, you go into auto pilot and your plane is an afk sitting duck untill you come back to it. And give it a 2 minute timer untill it counts as a death. If you are killed in this period, when you reconnect, you start at the tower.
If youre already in auto pilot, like auto climb, you'll just continue in auto climb or shift X or whatever.

ty sandwich. Was exactly what I was going to suggest. I don't mind if my plane flys along for a minute while i'm getting back in.
I'd rather have a chance at coming back to my sortie than lose the sortie and the perks.

This isn't WOT. Again, there is no way in hell HTC would ever implement this.

Trust the honesty and sense of fair play that most players already have. :rofl
-
This is an Online game, if you leave, your gone.
There is no "save" or "Pause".
If your discoing in perk planes I'd not fly them for a bit.
-
I think he's on to something here though.
It seems every time I up a perked ride, I lose it due to a crash as well.
I don't understand what he's talking about with the autopilot and the sitting duck and all that.. I really don't see how that would help!
I think when you take out a perk ride, the ground should change to rubber so that when you crash into it, you just bounce right back up.. no harm no foul.
This will stop all of the crashing when taking up perked rides altogether...
-
I reluctantly side with the No voters on this one. I say reluctantly because since vers 2.0 I've get disco'd alot. Most of the time the disco's don't show up on my score page. But I can just see this being to easy to abuse for it to work.

So your fed up with something that rarely ever happens to you ? ... :rolleyes:

Start flying high ENY planes with some regularity and your won't have to worry about how many perks you lost when you take the occasional high-perk ride for a sortie.

bump :devil
Please???? Another 25K lanc mission down the drain b/c of a freaking disco. If WoT can do it we can to.
-
I've discoed 4 in the last 3 years................. And it is stinky every time.... BUT heck no for this wish, sorry sir. :salute

EDIT: 4 times in a 262..... Much more in general :cheers:

I disco that many times a week. I had 14 last month. It's the crappy AT&T internet service here. It's not my fault no company can get decent internet service to my town and i don't think I should lose my sortie b/c of it.

Its a GAME !!! It's not like you really die when you get discoed. I don't think you will ever see this happening. You better move to a new town where the internet connections are better.
-
I'm not worried about the death. It bothers me that I spent 1 to 1 1/2 hours climbing just to lose it b/c of a disco.
-
Stop grabbing? :D

Well at least your not bailing as soon as you get intercepted at altitude. We wouldnt want that!
-
No.

IIRC, back in the days when Combat Tour (?) was on the drawing boards, one of the proposed features was that upon disco your plane would continue for a certain amount of time to permit your attempt to relog. You could get shot down.
Best.
-

i don't bail. I fight untill the end. Problem is I never get to that point before i disco...
And now that I think about it a little more I realized it has to be on HTC's end. I play WoT 10x more than this and i've never discoed from it. Not once.
-
I can think of a few things that are still your problem...... Your ISP could be blocking certain ports that AH uses but WOT doesn't. You could have other processes that are utilizing the same ports as AH, or you have a firewall that blocks arena port #'s. You might have malware that runs at certain times of day that eats up all your bandwidth causing packet loss.... And... WOT is in Beta testing..... May the good lord strike me dead if they are using half the bandwidth AH does. With less bandwidth needed, the computer can render faster with far less packet loss.

sigh.... Another 25K lanc run lost today from it.... :furious :furious Gees freakin give us the ability to resume our sortie already
-
This is ridiculous. I don't do these runs for score, I don't care about my rank. Its just for fun but its not anymore since I don't even get a chance to land them.

have you ever posted a ping plotter route right after one of these boots?
-

God! Then the next time I climb to 25k to intercept you this problem should be sorted out. :salute
-

Don't know how

Does it happen with singles, or only formations?

Get PingPlotter HERE! (http://www.pingplotter.com/downloads/pngplt_1.exe) Down load it and install it. Start the program and in the top left corner type in the address to the MA servers 206.16.60.39 or 206.16.60.41. Set the ping to ping every few seconds for about 10 minutes. You should have something that looks like this, well the top half of this picture.

Your looking for 0 PL%. If any hop shows loss it's not good. Also, if you ask nice :) Skuzzy can run a plot back to your computer (the return route is not the same as the route to HTC) and he can see if there is trouble on the return trip.
