This business of hiding the cv off the map so that it can't be sunk must stop, I don't care which country does it. In my opinion this amounts to nothing less than CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This is a game, not real life so the "Alls fair in war" attitude does not apply here. Hitech needs to fix this to include preventing people from using this bug to fly undetected from one part of the map to another to attack another country deep behind enemy lines. If people have to resort to this type of cheating in order to win, than the term "LOSER" come to mind because only LOSERS have to resort to CHEATING in order to win a game.

Pls explain how to do this so I can exploit it.
-
my ow my have you tried letting the HTC staff know? if so did you also post it on the bugs forums? if so then maybe they know about it and just need some time to fix it.

I'm fairly certain they know.

What's really stupid is hiding the CV, I say Yes. But my reasoning is that it's fun to CV hunt, so when you hide the CV's it takes away the fun for people who want to cv hunt.

really meddog you have to start another cv bs post, iv had enough of this bs on here, this probably could have been posted in this post,http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,318075.0.html, or this one,http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,318420.0.html, i mean theres no point in creating another thread about somthing that has already been posted before.

Possible solution: if CV goes off map, it respawns in 5mins or so....
-
Whatever!!
-
The solution is really quite simple; off the map trawlers laying off the map mine fields. :aok

It was priceless watching 200 last night with the banter & frustration that was typed in. Curious though about the flying to another part of map undetected though? I tried to up off that CV and it is an instant tower trip.

Hiding a carrier at the far end of nowhere isn't cheating according to HiTech. But according to me it is poor sportsmanship.
-
There is a map where it is possible to sail the CV underneath mountains off the edge of the map. CV is invisible from above (below ground) and impossible to takeoff from for planes (below ground). It's a lameass exploit, and I agree that it's a camel's toehair away from being cheating.
Hiding it in the middle of no where is just childish and silly, there is a difference.

We tested and could not make the CV go off the map. My guess is , this is a myth when people cant find the CV. But as with anything it may be a bug. Be glad to fix it if some can reproduce it.

I've seen it first hand, and there has been pictures floating around about it.
edit: I'd rather the CV hiding was prevented in addition to correcting the map/cv bug.

If I get a chance I'll try and reproduce it offline, when I logged in to the arena Friday night the game put me in the tower of the CV by default and I grabbed a couple screenshots.

unfortunately I didn't save any film.

That is on the map, not off, but appears to be a separate land issue on compelo.

i'm sorry Hitech but your wrong its no myth, i was sitting in the CV tower watching it drive on the land and right into the side of a mountain, off the right side of the Compelo map top right corner, i filmed the whole event and when i played the film it shows me as a pilot with no plane at about 40,000 feet through the whole 30 minute plus :bhead
-
I just went and check both in code and tested in the Compelo on the top right.
While you can take the CV just to the edge of the map, you can NOT take it off map. I state again you can NOT take the CV off the map.
But there is a bug with the very last vertex of the terrain. Cause the terrain to do strange things. All terrians should have 1 mile of water grounding them, and most do, but his is causing an issue with Compelo.

i dont know HiTech all i know is what i seen while sitting in the tower on the CV thats why i recorded it. i dont know why its not showing me on the carrier but instead way up in the sky suspended, maybe thats due to the vertex bug you were talking about. 'i'll load that map in offline and run it. you can see him in the chat bar state what he was going to do ( drive it under the mountain) and hear everyones reactions on Vox as it was going under the mountain side then lifing off in a plane while inside the mountain and flying out of it.
heres a few snapshots and if you want i will send in the film so you can view it, i realized if you click on his name in the film you will see the CV and him do his trick and him openly bragin about it on room channel.

OK i did some testing took alittle time but i reproduced what i seen and others seen, granted its not technically off the map, it's on the edge as far as you can plot a CV course with out getting the waypoint touches land message even though the CV is sailing on Land off the water and into the terrain, thus leaving it undetecable and unsinkable, no one can spawn off it ( you insta die) anyone who sends the CV up there knows this will happen so i guess it can be called an exploit of the Map.

HiTech i will PM you the Film i recorded showing it disappearing into the Terrian and hope this will help clear up this problem.

Couldn't you fix this simply by giving the country that captures a port control of the cv after a set time period?

Ive said for over 3 years now that it should be, when a port is taken, you got 2 or 3 hours to use the CV before it goes back to port.

or defend the port so they can't get it back.
