Noob question here,
Over the course of about 1/2 hour I got 4 or 5 tank kills on a VERY high ranking player. I decided to land my kills and drove back towards the nearest base to get away from the fight. After about 10 minutes I was sure I was at least 10k away from the nearest enemy, but when I ended sortie I ditched. When I respawned a player on my side who was airborne said he saw a jeep following me and when he killed the jeep it was the high ranking player that I had killed 4 or 5 times. He had followed me in a jeep to ruin my landing.
Is this a big part of the game...trying to ruin the kills of opposing players by following them back with an unseen jeep? Hadn't thought of that one :furious Should I be stalking the top players when they leave the battlefield to ruin their landings :t

Haha, the brainless morons will remain brainless morons for ever :rofl
Let me tell you a story:
a couple months back, i was upping a 190D, alone. Got a couple kills on bombers, some on fighters. One was a lala who was trying to run from me, stirring the stick so hard that it slowed him down and i just could kill him before he got to his ack. I was low on fuel so i headed home, but my base was 40 miles away. After a while i was throttling back... only to see 2 dots chasing me on my radar. A pony and a lala. Decided to turn back into them, killed the pony quickly as he was trying to rope, dodged the lala's ho attempt, whatched him (seemingly) run away, so i headed home again. But he came back and vulched me as i was trying to land deadstick - bingo fuel. When i reupped in a fresh 190D, he just bailed. Typed "lol" on 200. Then got the pm: "YOU DESERVED IT F***ING CHEATER, NO WAY A 190 CAN CATCH A LALA". Allright, +1 to the squelch list.
This was Devious1.
Welcome to AH, Shoresroad :aok

You killed him, that's all the matters. :aok

Game is full up with stories like that. There are some people that put their cartoon deads up to a high personal level. So they change their attitude in the game. In the end I think they "could be" slaves of what others do. I don't know if all we have this kind of behaviour in us in one or another way. have some...but I prefer to be loyal to my game style and always try to take it as a game, and get the most fun of it. If others don't do it, all I must do is respect them, even if I sometimes can't understand why they do it. In the end...I'm not paying and flying to understand other's mind.
As far as I know, Latrobe is just the opposite side of what you are describing, shoresroad.
Latrobe, your are a class-act mate, you have both my respect as a virtual pilot and as a front-end person :salute

:lol I haven't heard of this move before. That player must be a real feminine hygene bag to waste his time and effort to make sure you couldn't land. Can you imagine what a loser they must be in real life. Who was it?

I would think bombing your GV would more honorable than chasing you with a Jeep.
You GV guys so crazy! :D

While I dont think its very nice thing to do, I must say the jeep driver gets a solid 8 for thinking outside the box :lol

Do you have proof or do we go by your good word..

Honestly, I think both you and the high ranker spent way too much time worrying about it. :aok

It would be nice to have an indicator for GVers that told them if they'd be able to get a landing or not. Just a yes/no indication, not something telling them how far away the nearest enemy was.

I have a film of me taking out the new Hurri and going to an nme base getting 5 of them and one following me back and vulching me on landing :old:

not only that he avoided 4 friendlies to get me as I landed :rofl :rofl :rofl
think his ego was bruised a bit :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Too bad you didn't see the jeep. You could've got another kill with your pintle gun before landing!

man that stuff aint easy :O
I haven't crashed as much as I have in the whole time I have been flying, then these last few races :rofl :rofl :rofl
whats weird is I run the course good once I know it....dont crash much in practice...but damn once its the race....I am like dee dee dee..... :rofl
it is a lotta fun I wont let my noob flying stop me :old:
-
You got to consider why YOU play the game. Is it to get your name in lights? IS it for fun? Did you have more fun fighting or driving 20 mins to get a ditch?
-
I never assume I will land safely unless I'm on the base. Sneaky SOBs are always lurking where they shouldn't be. :D He was probably intent on ruining your landing, but not by just being there. He probably assessed it and figured a jeep was the only thing that would catch you in time so he planned on speeding in, taking out your top gun, and driving in circles to stay away from your turret while he worked on getting you tracked.
-

:aok
Keep driving away and do periodic stops to see if you hear him. If you are not hearing him, do some more start / stops to see if you can catch him in movement. Then finally sit somewhere and go get a few beers and wait in silence. If landing the kills is that important, have the patience to wait him out.
Either way, when you engage ion the ground game, be ready to drive a really long way away if necessary. Definately can out fox a jeep that in intent to keep you from landing. Actually can be a fun cat and mouse game. I have nailed M18s before hiding in good areas waiting for that exposure shot. LOL! Just part of the game.
-
Me? Hold a grudge on a player landing kills? Never.... :devil

Really this is what you tank guys come up with?

Not me, just practicing my profiling skills in case NCIS calls.

A guy to remain nameless PM'd me the other night until I finally squelched him, he had dove in with his jug, turn on me as I was heading towards him and opened up with guns a blazing, I usually don't HO but when guys wanna play like that sometimes you ablige, happened to be in a K4 and needless to say he didn't survive the 30mm, looked up his score wondering who he was and saw his score was clean no deaths, multiple kills.
Also tried to vulch me on take off later so I will have to assume is method of getting kills for his prized score is well, timid :)
Score potatos can be alittle edgy/high strung at times , makes you wonder if they even enjoy the game.

There is something seriously flawed in the gv game part if people can regularly land 18+ kills. It can only mean that someone found a way to game the game.

I've talked to a bunch of my countrymen and they said this is SOP for this player.

Honestly didn't even know that you could 'land' away from a town or field.
If you want to be sure that you 'land' your kills, go to a field or town, and park it on the path.
-
A whine has been recorded.
If you want to land your kills. the only sure way is to take the same amount of trouble driving back to your base as you did driving all the way to the spawn to camp it

Im guessing he spawned in as well and thus had no base to drive to.

This is why I like to ruin my own score. It's pre ruined so I don't to worry about anyone else. :)

I shot up a few guys with the small ammo load of the yak9 and watched them land off field because engine damage kept them from making a runway.
I circulated overhead nearby for a while and flew back to my base to land half expecting to see the kill message when they towered out but no kill message.
I viewed the film and noticed the ditched plane start floating vertically slowly climbing to about 300 feet so I am assuming people are disco'ing and somehow denying the kill to the person who downed thier plane.
This has happened to me a lot of times in the last 2 or 3 months and was super super extra mega rare before that.
-
If this:
"He had followed me in a jeep to ruin my landing."
is true, then HiTech You have a serious bug.
You over-modelled the jeep ! :old:

they got a ditch if they landed close to their field. not sure what the exact requirements are but it happens to me a lot, then again I also will ditch the plane when I am shot to the point of being unable to rtb.

-

Simply determined by the ownership of the nearest base.
-
This is thoroughly frustrating. You shoot a guy to the point where he crashes at low enough speed to survive, or too damaged to continue to fight so he ditches and towers out a km from his base. He gets a ditch you get nothing.
Fly your smoking shot up plane back to your own base and slide a foot off the runway because of the pilot wound blacking you out. And you get a ditch. Now that is ridiculous. You telling me the guys on the airfield would not push your plane into a hanger and fix it? Or would your CO chew you out for "ditching"
-
How close do I have to be for a ditching plane to not get a ditch?
Also.....I mentioned disco'ing and wondered if anybody has checked whether disco'ing/reconnect changes anything.
-
How close do I have to be for a ditching plane to not get a ditch?.
If a plane get's a 'ditch' or not is solely depending on the ownership of the base closest to it, no matter the actual distance to it. There is no other factor involved.
You can even get a "you have been captured" when only a mile away from your own runway... if at the same time an enemy CV is only a 3/4 mile away from you.

Karma got me the other night when I was trying to ruin another players score. I was in a high p47m and dove on a 262 I must have missed completely because I never saw any hits. The 262 must have been low on ammo/fuel because when I turned to leave instead of chasing me down he headed for base. I then dived and reversed. My plan was to NOE to the same base and get him when he slowed to land. As I closed to 200 feet off the deck, Norton anti virus thought it was a good time to scan my system and booted me to my desktop. Needless to say, by the time I got back in the game my plane was fish food.

This is why we disable it when playing...

First, I want to point out that every time that i read again this post there is something that i don't understand !!
Second,
"When I respawned a player on my side who was airborne said he saw a jeep following me and when he killed the jeep it was the high ranking player that I had killed 4 or 5 times. He had followed me in a jeep to ruin my landing."
Is this the story of a Spilberg's new film ?
:salute

Ok guys ill admit it, it was me! I was the jeep driver. I follow high rankers in my jeep (all terrain of course) all day and prevent them from landing. Its more of an art form then a hobby.....
