Kinda like when you're cruising along in your tank and you see another tank through a mound/knoll, and shoot him through the dirt & get the kill? Is it cheating to take advantage of a minor glitch in the game? NO. Because if he had seen it first, or in your case, it happened for him, he wouldn't be crying at all. I've seen a dozen times where the crater from another tank round blew up in front of me on my side of a tall mound when their was no way that could happen without going through a hill.  :huh Oh well.

They're shooting over the mound not through it.

Yeah, so they weren't exactly being 'decent' by any sense of the word, but that doesn't mean you were in the right at all.  Accept you made a mistake, decide not to make it again, and move on.

I'm sure it's fun but you still exploited a bug for cheap kills, which IMO = cheating. Secondly you come to the forum showing screen shots and telling of the exploit which now means other people are going to attempt to exploit the bug until HTC releases a fix for it.

IMO you should have just emailed any films or screen shots to HTC along with an explanation of what happened.

As the bug requires the enemy to blow you somewhere it would probably be pretty impossible to replicate I guess.

Granted put in those terms then yeah it's not that bad.

My next question would then be since when did explosions of any kind cause vehicles to move? Unless I missed a patch note, you can drop a 4k egg next to a tank and IF it survives it won't move an inch.

I don't buy the idea that an enemy tank "blew" him into a bugged area. It's more like he drove or fell through a hole in the port object that allowed this to happen. That being said I don't want to sound like he's maliciously doing this, I'm sure it was just an accident and he took advantage of it. Granted I was somewhat harsh in what I said but I'll be honest, I would be tempted to rack up as much as I could too.  :)

I have seen this happen of late where the tank was blown below the town after being hit. I have had an lvt-4 that was hit by another tank & my lvt-4 morphed into the mound i was near & was at that point impossible to kill.

Weird things happen at times.

yes we kept dropping supplies because you kept shooting our tanks and tracking us.then you continued to shoot at the pt boats,planes and base gunnery.you could have and should have towered,when you figured out that you were glitched.the only reason we did not leave is because we were trying to protect the base from capture.if we left it would have been easy for your countrymen to take the base.as anyone can see you did not leave and land your kills until you were out of ammo--oh by the way, when we did drop supplies you ate them up.by the way i did not report wintergarden,i don't like getting people in trouble.but i see other people have.i know this is just a game,in which you really don't die,but it's not fun to die when you have no chance to defend yourself,or get retrobution.i did film the whole session.but unless htc.askes for it i will not post it.plus the continuing ping of bullets of my amour was very annoying.lol

I think it everyone there was being too stubborn, I eventually got bored and ended my sortie but I was hoping to get my name in lights landing 11 in an LVTA2.  It would have caused anyone with a clue to ask themselves WTF????  I think it would be obvious to everyone that landing kills in an LVT has very little to do with skill and very much to do with luck.

Well, it looks pretty clear that he was blown below ground by tank fire.  I even heard him take a hit when it happened.  As for not towering and sticking around, I won't say anything about that.  It will be up to the HTC crew on how they will handle that.

On a side note, that's hilarious as hell.  Especially when that 1st Sherman killshot himself on his friend. :rofl

A couple of nights ago, I was in a Dora practicing for the scenario over TankTown.  Along comes a set of B24s to ruin the GV gangs fun so I went in a flamed a couple.  Along with the 24s, an A20G comes by.  After fighting Cobia and losing more times than I would like to count, I grab a little speed and engage.  Immediately, I'm on this guy's six (obviously NOT cobia) and to top it all off, he's shooting at me from the tail gun.  A pass or two later, the A20 explodes and so does my text buffer!  :O

A guy by the name of "tsunami" accuses me noob warper, blah blah blah.  This goes on for about five minutes, all the while I keep telling this poor soul my connection was fine and I get back how much I really suck.  Well then he pulls the Score card out  :huh  "You are too a noob you liar either that or you just suck, you only have 19 kills!"  I ROFL at the score reference again and then explained that I started in AW in '96 and have been playing ever since.  Since I wasn't a noob, I guess that means I suck, but then I just killed you didn't I?

"You've been playing since 96 and only have 19 kills?!?!?, WOW, you REALLY suck!!!"

Sure, but having played games where cheating was abundant (Raven Shield for example), it's pretty obvious when someone exploits.  Over countless engagements in Aces High, I never once felt that an opponent performed in a suspicious way outside the parameters of his plane.  Can it happen?  Quite possibly, but I doubt the kinds of people who would resort to cheating would be so subtle as to make it undetectable.

Remember Pellik (not the pelik that was in the Nomads)?  He thought he was being subtle when he created his little hack that turned on the LCS in the main arenas, until he found out that the servers have a cheat detection system in place and got nabbed and booted from the game.

I agree, it was a waste because he didn't need it.  For some reason he got it into his mind that there were some using such a program so he felt it was okay to use one himself to even out the playing field.

I laughed at you referring to "their legal team" as if they have a full firm of sharks waiting for their phonecall.

EDIT:  You also have to realize the difference between criminal and civil proceedings.... When a government office is involved in a criminal case, they already have a DA on staff, that they pay for.  For private organizations however, to file a criminal complaint, that costs money, UPFRONT.  The commercials you see on TV about "we only get paid when you do" is always a civil case.  And those jerks will only take the case if they think they can win it, thus getting them paid.  But if I call my lawyer and tell her that some guy stole my photographs and is selling them as his own, and I have proof of it......  She will turn around and say "ok, let's go get that bastage.  When can I expect my retainer?"

It's like that, and that's the way it is.

I agree, it was a waste because he didn't need it.  For some reason he got it into his mind that there were some using such a program so he felt it was okay to use one himself to even out the playing field.   

That's unfortunate, since experience tells me that none of the "best" shots in the game have any reason to cheat.  In any event, I'm pretty sure a LCS would have hindered rather than helped my game because it would have promoted the wrong fundamentals.  Good aim for me was a function of maneuvering so close to an enemy that I couldn't miss.  With a LCS, that kind of maneuvering wouldn't have been necessary, and I likely would have wound up taking longer, lower percentage shots with less maneuvering.

Yet the very best shots in Aces High always tend to set up their shots with great angles, positioning, and anticipation.  An LCS doesn't really aid in any of those.

It's unfortunate that Pellik didn't understand that and felt the need to cheat.  I guess he had what was coming to him, but yeah... what a waste.

I played this game for a long time, and I never once saw something that I considered an "aimbot."  Such a hack would be pretty obvious to everyone involved, and the hit percentage would be a dead give away.

I've accused some (under my breath) of using "it"..  and other cheats.. well sometimes not under my breath, but after I reflect, I do beleive they weren't using any outside "assistance". Many times I've been nailed by opponents who, to my vantage point are nose-off, and couldn't have had their guns trained on me, let alone be pulling sufficient lead. I have just put that down to a graphics-lag-whatever issue, that my view of their aspect no the same as their aspect. I know there times I've made a miracle shot, and wonder what the other guy is thinking.  I do still wonder about certain players that inevitabaly seem to have uber armor on their tanks though.

You should have reported the website to HTC and let their legal team take care of getting the that website and program shut down.

ack-ack

Well nice thought, but I've caught hackers red handed with their packets on my PC, reported them to the states atty general, and the Feds, all I got was the run around. I'll report it if I find it again.
