While I was there, I saw Agent360 telling the Bish that he was reporting cv locations to Rooks.......
Is this kind of behavior allowed in game?
I've never spied, but if it's allowed maybe I should stay Bishop and tell my friends what they are doing?
I'm really asking because I don't know. I need advice, please?
-
well if the bish in their infinite idiot-ism decide to hide the cv... we obviously need spys or intel rite? GOOD WORK AGENT360!! MA MAN!! :aok :salute
stop hiding cvs, maybe you'd stop this form of open spying! at least he's doing it openly....
-
Classy :rofl :banana:
-
It's a peeing match and you should care less, and not emulate the actions of others...
However, as a Bish, I have to say that I noted a point the other day where a CV was set to drive along the border of the map. This had the effect of placing the CV below ground (because the map has land areas that aren't referenced as borders, and made the CV completely useless and unviable for anything... The person doing this stated it was so "The Knights don't get it!" LAME!
-
SEE... it's really freaking lame!!
-
That stuff makes sense I guess... Afterall a carrier group not fighting is a carrier group not in the game. :salute

I had a guy one time post over 200 the locations of Bish cvs and I went and sank them, Im Bish and If someone wants to kill hidden cvs go right ahead. the ones the get me are the cv is sneaking to an enemy AF and out of no where comes a few sets of bombers at low level to bomb it.

to my inexperienced eye it seems that several seperate factions within the game are attempting to out-do one another for some kind of 'most childish behaviour ' award

Why does everyone get so mad when people tell their country about the CV's location? It's not like in WWII, everybody KNEW there was a CV around, but noone wanted to tell the country, because that wouldn't be... dare I say it... FAIR.
:O
Really? There's no rule against finding and releasing the enemy CV's position, same as there's nothing stopping you from doing just that.
That's what I say.

No doubt...its a game. I understand you earn fame and e-respect from your country men by giving up locations of CVs. And yes hiding the CV is pretty boring as far as game play goes. HTC might as well drop dar to 5 feet, show all gvs and cvs to all sides. I mean what the hecks the point of having the "Fog of War".

Hammers rules on arena etiquette. About the only thing with "hitech creations" on it to guide you. My solution is simple. The Essex (is that the one we have) class carrier is 140 ish feet tall above the waterline. That is higher than 65 feet. Have the dar bar show, so if you are really that interested in sinking cvs, you have a 50-50 chance that that dar is a CV vice bombers.
Other than that, who cares. If the CV is out of the fight and sunk does it really matter? It is not like it is contributing. I listened to Agents discussion with the devils brigade and I agree with Agent. No one (person/squad) should be so presumptuous to assume what is good for the country.
CVs encourage good fights, who cares if it is sunk as long as 30 dudes had a blast for an hour?
-
If you switched sides just to announced a CV's position, you should be .reported (taking away chat privs for a week) and shunned by the community.
It is really is a low life thing to do.
If a country wishes to hide a CV, it's their choice.

Lame to hide them? Of course.
Allowable? Yes
OK to give location to have them sunk and put into play? No.

I smell stinky bait.

Not really, but yeah your kinda sorta right. It can go both ways depending on how ya look at it. The rat, by virtue of the testimony, appears to have had a shadow account which is the lowest of the low without argument, but the author of this thread went down the ladder towards the rat for being a bit hypocritical. Oh well, such is another day in the AH forums. :)

Hiding your assets from the enemy is key to winning any combat situation this game is no different. However there have always been spy's in warfare so why not here too.

If a country wishes to hide a CV, it's their choice...... But see, there's the rub. Personally I've never seen a vote on my country to hide a cv. If it was my country that was hiding it I could understand ...a bit. But it is a single guy, or a few from a squad that are making the choice.
It's ok for 6, guys to hide it, but not for 20 furballers who want to use it. Not fair at all. We paid our $15 too.

I was waiting to see who would respond like this the quickest.
You are, in my opinion (for what that is worth), 100% correct.
HiTech said COUNTRY
He also said that "If you switched sides just to announce a CV's position"
He did not state that it was wrong or "low" to report it to other countries if one predominantly plays for a particular country and one is tired of certain parties on their own country hiding CV's... :devil

Although it wasn't "stated" anywhere at the time, It didn't stop HT from banning all my communications in game for a week or two when I announced on 200 what corner of the map my countries CV was hidden and hijacked by the Vboiz.
I believe it was "stated" afterwards that I had broken an "unwritten" rule.
I and a few others in frustration, had tried to move the Cv to a spot that may have been 3 or 4 sectors closer to the action, to no avail.
The Vboiz kept turning it back and all the while calling me names and messaging my squad saying what a idiot I was.
The only thing they got right was the idiot part.
Beware unwritten rules.

Personally, I think that hiding a CV is just silly... But...
HiTech has put a system in place to decide who can control any given CV. What I see in this thread is a lot of people who are not willing to do what is necessary to make certain that they can take control of the CV from someone who wishes to hide it.
Most of the folks in this thread who are complaining about hiding the CV are more then capable of maintaining a low enough score. They just aren't willing to do so. So they choose to come here to complain/whine about how other people are playing the game.
I understand this unwillingness. I am not willing to do it either, but because I don't wish to play the way required to maintain a low score, I don't think I should whine about it when someone who is willing to do so does something I don't like with a CV.
Just my $0.02, for what it is worth.
On a mostly unrelated side note... If all the folks with ability played for score, score wouldn't be so meaningless. Score, as it functions now, is so easily manipulated only because there are so many players who do not attempt to manipulate it. If everyone did, score would be more meaningful.

Score hooring is hard work, I'd prefer HTC implemented some sort of system where an orphaned CV sinks after 3 hours or something like that.

I'm planning on going back to Bish and giving away vNOE locations for a night of fun. I detest their cowardly tactics and having flown with them, I can tell you they have a network of spy cheats. Not all v's are bad though..just misguided and some of their missions can be fun...they just need better leaders with less controlling ego's and man up once in awhile......which I do believe they are, just a little to late to save the name
So if your in for some behind the lines spying information.....keep an eye on 200 this weekend. I'll be being blatant and out in the open
-
I'm curious... about two two things.
Do CVs have maprooms? That is to say, a place which says that that CV in particular is Bish, Knights, or Rook?
And are they capturable?

No maproom on CV, and since they don't have a maproom they can't be captured with troops. You have to take the CV's home port, then sink the CV. Ten minutes later it'll respawn and be owned by whatever country owns its port.
Or you can sink the CV and take its home port before it respawns. So you have ten minutes.

Figures someone would try to justify cheating the way you did, lol I have no problem with agent360, as a matter of fact I think he is pretty cool, but the problem with our society is that ratting someone else out is wrong, while cheating the system isn't, wow.
As to cv's use, educate your army on it's proper use, don't be a traitor. I have seen guys send cv's towards enemy bases, switch sides and bomb it to get points? That's sad. Are people actually that worried about their scores.
Up to me I would leave public ranking out of the picture and use it for getting perked rides etc, but the amounts would be private.

How am I justifying cheating? can you read? all i stated and I'll type slowly for you so that you may understand.
HIDING A CV IS LAME RATTING SOMEBODY OUT IS LAMER.
He didn't kill somebody he didnt hurt anybody in those cases trust me peaches I'd be the first person to do something.
