Title: Something weird happened last sunday in the MA..
Post by: Lusche on October 18, 2016, 05:35:36 PM
There I was, intercepting & destroying a set of Lancs in a 190A-8.  :ahand
They had been NOE, never came close to a friendly base and were flying through several totally quiet sectors. And I was flying directly at them. So I braced myself for the inevitable "cheat/hack/shade/spy" PMs.  :uhoh

They never came   :confused:

Instead said player and a fellow pilot upped again and scanned all around that route obviosly in search for a CV that could had given him away to me. And they found & sunk it.   :airplane:

This is an irritating departure from established AH protocol. If that kind of reasoning is getting standard, the game won't be the same anymore  :old:

Ah, the old busted by the CV trick. 

Usually I am on the other side of that (getting busted), but once I saw a red blob passing a CV.  I had just found an NOE about half way to the target.  I upped a -4, and took off toward the trailing dots, staying NOE myself so they wouldn't see my darbar.  I killed both goons, before the world exploded with the rest of the mission trying to kilt me.  Ya, I ran knowing they had no way finish the take :)

Something weird happened today also.  I was on for ~ 2 hours with 70 plus online players and NOTHING HAPPENED!  :bhead  I fell asleep before I could find anyone in the air.  Thought I was alone until I ran into 3 other fellas strafing a field to get some sort of response.  If there was a response, it was to resupply the ack.  :rofl

The win the warz has gone too far.  Back to my nap..... well, at least I don't need to count sheep anymore    :bolt:

The win the warz crowed will always be there. Times like that call for group play. Pushing a base or jabo fighter sweeps will start up a good fight. If you can't find a group maybe switch countries :old:

That map tells you all sorts of things if you watch it closely. I know once we had a serial side switcher "I forget his name" who busted up our missions for months "I mean we'd be watching and time after time he'd switch to the other side after we posted and launched a mission and we could set our clock to when and where he'd be waiting with his Typhie". Time after time.

But other then that one guy I really cant remember any shenanigans in AH. Compared to the big FPS's this game is clean as a church.

We did yet he would still hang around on the comm channel. It was all so idiotic. But all in all this is the one game where Ive never worried about cheating or Hacks. LOL the BF and COD series have an entire Industry of Hacks and that gets really old.

This morning on this same map with a fraction of the number of players on (possibly 21 total) I have to give a big  :salute to JJ, MrRee, Tai9k, MrJousts and Copprhed.  Forgive my memory, I know there were more combatants.

I upped a Corsair in attack mode to draw some attention from an enemy aircraft in that sector.  I misjudged my time available to dump my load and be ready for action, but action there WAS!!   :x

We romped back and forth with both air and ground forces for the better part of an hour and half (at least).  The time to the fight was almost immediate and for that number of total participants action filled.
