Title: The Night of the 100 Kills!
Post by: Dadtallica on February 22, 2024, 12:40:41 AM
What was up with airjer, Hoagie, Splasher and a few others last night??? It was Bish/Nit action so as a Rook I was third party. We had a good chuckle discussing it on country. lol!

I logged in about 8:45PM EST to see Hoagie land 50 kills in a Tiger 2 and airjer landing 60 in a T34. This went on for while with lots of insta kills from those two and others for a while. About 45 min later airjer landed 100 kills most of which were Slasher and most were merely seconds apart.

What was happening???

I saw that and thought maybe it was "Blood Pig" event going on at a spawn point or runway, very strange.

Sounds like spawn camping while other side is desperately defending.

Scoring shows airjer got him 165 times and Hoagi got him 62 times. Must have gotten a bug up his butt to up a jeep 227 times!  LOL!

Ask Airjer how many rounds he fired to get those kills.  His little buddy was feeding proxies.

Whatever floats your boat...

Why score can be bogus in this game

It was a lot of proxies and they were one after other. Couldn’t have shot at them all.

Never understood these proximity kills. Ditch in certain situations could be handled different way. Haven't seen them in any other sim I or my son have been struggling.

Back in AH2 days when one of our group didn't have enough perk points for a deuce mission, 5-6 of us would go into the mid-war arena. the person short on perks would go to an opposite country while the rest of us upped tanks at the spawn. The perk farmer would then up a Bf110-c model, shoot us a few times then we towered out, giving the perk farmer the points.

this thread reminded me of that. Landing 100 kills in a 110-c

Some call it cheating...but if stealing is acceptable now cheating is a given...

This fails in comparison to the night of 232 kills given by FT who was raging over the ridiculous ENY issues despite being double teamed over and over while eny was +20 and over half the population on country was tower sitting. Wrecked that tour :old: :neener:

Just another reason for attrition Warfare.
  
Along with limited planes/tanks per side/base. Revamped the Strategic Warfare system so that kills become more important, but just as important, Survival Of your aircraft and equipment becomes equally important. So things like this don't happen,  bombing and bailing,  Rethink many players go to move, HOing, going Head to Head, make players open up that book on ACM that some have stopreading.

It would go a long ways to removing some of the suicidal arcade-like gameplay we see.

I think supply or dynamic ENY might make a difference. (the more popular the plane is the lower it's eny becomes and vice versa for planes nobody is flying)

I still remember back when I used to play WWII online people yelling. "Stop spawning tanks! There's a guy with a bazooka in the vehicle spawn!" Everybody would scramble to kill that guy. WWII online was fun until the numbers went away. Graphics in that game are really dated and the cheating got to the point that somebody posted an ESP hack video on youtube. Instead of addressing the cheating the "rats" got the guy to put a password on the video. Guess they could deny there was any cheating going on if they hid the evidence. lolz

I checked out a video of this on youtube. It seems a bit different. They were all milling around and getting shot it seemed like. I don't understand why they weren't using cover etc. Seemed odd.

linear Warfare....... more firepower that way.

Linear warfar with cover seems like it would be better then what I saw. These guys were standing in the open firing at other guys standing in the open. I guess it's obvious that I know nothing about this period of warfare. lol

Only pansies farm perks when good mission profiles and competent flying will naturally bring points.

Where can I find this report?

Goto HitechCreations.com then click on "Scores/stats", and then Pilot. type in the pilots name "airjer" hit ok. Then scroll down to jeep and click on the 168 in the "kills of..." column

Do the same for "hoagi" and "tiger 2"
