Title: To the guys who fly off map to hit bishop strats.

You don't have to fly off map.......because the bishops don't defend thier strats.

Please stay in play.

I am not going to stay sober for you. If I fall asleep and end up with "QWERTY" on my forehead, that's my issue. As is hitting the Bish strats.

As you were.

Icepac, I saw the Knight pilot who was off the map.  He was most likely afk.  I can assume that since I followed his dot going on a diagonal line away from all strats. 

However, I did hit Ammo and Radar strats, but never went off the map....  only evaded the dar rings.  So, basically I could see why you might think something was done purposefully.  I was kind of surprised that someone followed the arrow off the map while I was still flashing the ammo strat. 

Good fun earlier.  When the Me163 caught up to me it was instant action, was only the lack of fuel that kept them from killing all 3 Lancasters. 

 :salute  I agree, no need to fly off map, but I really doubt that was done on purpose.  Even I was afk about 20 minutes to get in position to cross your front lines.

By the way, it wasn't Palef that flew off the map (at least not the one south of ammo strat).  But I thought the QWERTY comment was humerous.

Well you have to ask youself at somepoint, what is real reason these guys stay off-map and do what they do... I know why, because the lil cheatmongers suck, and so they endeavor to solve this issue by being dishonest/lazy/whathaveyou and circumventing (i know these big words huh?) the game the way a typical human being, well at least one you would consider your boy, would...

However I will fly off the map if I damn want to.

I thought it was worse for them to fly off the map these days...that little red arrow shows where they are (in general terms) doesn't it?

It's just a darbar substitute, but it unlike darbar it doesn't give a rough estimate of numbers. And the con can actually be far more than just one sector out.

If you fly off the map with enough fuel you come back by the opposite side. Word :old:

Yes, flying off the map is cheating, that's why it's allowed.

 :headscratch:

A giant arrow is bigger than a dot bar, lol.

And that one arrow could represent 70 planes and still look the same as if there were only one.

There were 3 arrows in 3 sectors...........all of them at the strats.

I don't know what you saw.  From the Knight perspective this is what I saw. 

#1  One Knight player went off the map on a diagonal path south of the Bishop Factory and continued to do so to my best recollection.

#2  Bishop city Strat was being taken down to 16% by Rook raider (only flashing strat and red dar bar could be seen by Knignts).

#3  I moved along the map sectors that clearly were NOT off the map (or even in the portion of the sector that touches the map border - to be clear).

#4  On my return trip from the Bishop Radar Factory, I encountered a 3rd Knight, also inside of the map dar bar confines headed to the same Factory (the before mention off map Knight was still showing arrow off the map and dot not even visible by Knights).   I assume this Knight was definitely afk.

They are not necessarily off of the map, the arrows show up in sectors that are not a full square sector. They could have just been across the sector line in one of those partial sectors.
