Title: Please explain
Post by: earl1937 on June 04, 2012, 04:24:39 PM
Yesterday, when I logged into the game, I spawned out at base in the rear area of the country. The first thing I noticed was a tank firing. There was an aircraft parked in front of him, no more than 50yds away and he pumped 30 or 40 rounds into this fighter, (a spit), and the spit slowly disappeared. This guy in the tank had a number over his icon which when I first noticed it, was 219, but as he fired rounds, that number starting reducing gradually and when I tired of trying to figure out what he was doing, it was down to 208. Anybody have any idea what was going on? The base was a rook base A1. Both icons were the same color, white. I thought if you shot a fellow country man, you would kill shoot yourself!

How much time elapsed between you logging in and the time you spawned. Did the map and players have time to load?

Was that after a Bong hit?

The tank was gradually creeping forward from 219 to 208 yards?

Sounds like some fiendish test by the AH administration!  :bolt:

Can't speak to all you mentioned, but

...and the spit slowly disappeared.
Over the years I have seen this a few times. Always just after I logged on. Once or twice I saw it from the tower, other times I was on the runway. A plane just slowly disappeared, once I remember while it was rolling down the runway as it lifted off.  Always attributed it to my video card or something funky on my end coupled with their disconnect.

I don't drink nor do drugs, and was sitting in tower in F-3 view while I watched what was going on. The 219 down to 208 was , I guess, the tank inching forward. Was really just wondering if this was some way of padding score.
