I finally see what they say about people hiding tanks inside buildings.
This thread is to name and shame them, regardless of side they're on. Feel free to add, especially if you have it backed up by film.

My thoughts exactly lol..
I just wanted refueling at v bases...something about different fuel types or some other crazy excuse why that can't happen..

So maybe instead of spending time in buildings, you should spend more time in a Me 163. :aok

I was surprised when Lutrell started hiding in buildings. He is too good of a player for that. One of the best tankers in the game.
I have not seen LitlBlue hide in a building. We have been tank fighting together many, many times.
Hoggie was big on hiding in buildings. Maybe the worst. Had no shame for doing it he said.
I have seen a couple of others do it but maybe only once or twice. Not habitual.
I did it once or twice back when tank island had a single story building you could get in several years ago. Hitech or Skuzzy fixed that pretty quick

Another dweeby aspect of this player base that just drives people out. Any newer player trying to play that aspect of the game probably doesn't know the bug exists. But then the sweetheartrs doing it clearly are in it for their mediocre score... lol
I have yet to log in this month. Very little last month. This is just the tip of the iceberg of reasons why. Most of them are related to the bottom feeding gameplay that long time players have resorted to.

GVing is by far the lamest part of the game. 88s are a close 2nd.
hiding in buildings, feet dry spawns, turn down graphics is just too silly to take seriously.

IDK I put 88s and manned guns above GVing

hey some of us have to turn our graphics down or the bottlenecking begins :(

No worse than when Mano used to pick people off from the top of a tree in his M8 back in AH2.

Turning down graphics in order just to play the game is one thing. Doing so knowing you will have some advantage over someone that does not know any better is another.
It is not using a tool but rather exploiting a bug but that is the point of what the GV game has turned into

I've done it plenty but it's not rewarding and there was no sense of accomplishment beyond preventing 17 vs 1 odds rolling a field.
I stopped preventing field captures the last few times and simply watched the horde searching but it's kinda boring.
I stopped the other day and it's really not worth the effort.
Now I do have films of many others doing this............some posting in this thread.

In village building (3 story) or in re-generated town buildings? You can be killed hiding in town buildings by HE from what's said, the village building is indestructible.
-
I'm pretty sure the 3 story house thing has been fixed in a few terrains.
Haven't tried to chute onto the tower since I've been back.

One word - 'Basements'.
While in an ACR in FRG (Federal Republic of Germany - yes, I am that old) we would not drive into a bldg as many, if not most, had basements. Not amusing to drive a vehicle into an improvised tank/APC trap! :lol

I'm sure a cheater will come right out and tell you the truth ;) I've yet to meet a cheater or thief that doesn't lie. On the other hand, what do I have to gain from making up stories about someone I don't know from the man on the moon? I don't lie
He was in a building in a whirbel, me in a T34. DocEvil was on the side of the building telling me to stick my gun in the back wall and shoot him. My 1st shot point blank made me shoot myself. I could not see him, (I did see his rounds hitting me and they were coming from inside that building) yet he seen me and tracked me before I could get my barrel through the wall. At that point I ended sortie giving him a kill and I exited arena.
I've been back in the game 2 or 3 weeks and heard about Brando's antics on pretty much day one. Seen it for myself last night. That's the truth and if Brando says anything different from what I just told you, than it's a lie. DocEvil will tell you the same thing. Another player I don't know I might add. My only goal here is to expose these scumbags and get these maps fixed. :salute

Hopefully the GV/Building access issue will be resolved soon. :x

There’s too much violence in this world..maybe we should stop shooting each other. Just resupply our bases all day and live in peace.

Why aren't you more distressed at long-time plyers abusing this well known exploit? :headscratch:
-
how does it change your life? it doesnt, other then maybe someone gets a few extra kills. its a big map. if someone is exploiting it, move away to a different area. then he gets nothing. problem solved. calling him out in public. will ok, but thats the biggest problem with society today.
its you(not you, just people in general) cant just call someone a weinie and leave it, you have to announce it to the world. it solves nothing and its not going to stop anyone from doing it. in fact now all the new people are going to try it out!

Maybe these new people deserve an even playing field instead of being preyed on by... behavior(s) you seem ok with. Where do you even draw your boundaries of integrity? Oh, "it's just a game" is what you're thinking? Maybe think that thru a bit further. I'd hesitate to play poker with these kind people that feel the need to exploit something for so many years. Or enter into any kind of agreement with them. Sketchy.
It's so easy to do the right thing in this. Yet.

One of the biggest reasons this game is still surviving is the fact that the playing field has been decently leveled and MOST/if not all do not manipulate any codes or hacks. Some love to exploit glitches to gain an upper hand for no other reason than notoriety for good or bad attention.
I say call them out. Burn them at the stake :x
-

I fear that this was the main problem when I last played. The maps are too big to support the amount of players. There's usually only 1 decent fight on the whole map at any given time (even in GVs). The exploiters are usually going to be near that action. Packing up and moving across the map usually takes you out of the action and submitting to the exploiters.
I'm team Shane on this one. This issue should have been fixed a long time ago.

This is like saying talking to people about the warning signs of suicide will convince them to try suicide. or drugs... or anything :headscratch: And honestly, in other games, the more people use the exploit the quicker it gets fixed.

If you don't see how people gaming a glitch will detour new folks, in an already time consuming game... this might not be the thread to be posting in.
I've posted this in other threads... some of the remaining players here are the games worst enemy, until the means of being a dweeb are taken away from them. Especially with numbers on the lower side. Nerds being nerds are significantly more noticeable.
-
A lot of this stuff is not even noticed by many. I myself would not know about several things, unless I read here.
-
Keep in mind you will get killed many times before you even know someone is in a building. On some maps the spawn-in is near a three story. building.
As I posted before this is the second time this bug has come up. The first time was single story buildings several years ago.
If we could HE the building down like a town building then kill the tank it would br much better than it is now.

Oh, I’ve heard it here more than 3 times. I don’t Gv. I should, but don’t. Not sure why any building is indestructible.
Human nature. There is no bottom to the barrel, they will go right through it. Imagine if we didn’t have stoplights.
Some say there is a fix in.
My GUESS, If there needs to be an update to fix it, it may include other fixes to make it worth it. If true, it may take a little time to package it.

If I recall correctly the only way to kill them inside the building when you are outside is with a bomb?

That or go in the building to kill them, if they don't kill you first. Bombing them works, IF you get the right building.

Dang... I agree with Shane AND Violator in one thread. What is happening :bolt:
-
The very Idea of Shane shaming anyone in this game is a joke. You know how I learned how to get into a building and shoot from them? By having my butt shot of by other tank drivers hiding in those buildings. I didn't cry or whine about it, I learned how to counter it and do it myself as well. As long as we are at a point in the game where everyone can do it, to call it cheating is a straight up whine.
-
What ever, lutrel. It's still cheating. :neener:

Actually, I call it exactly what it is - exploiting. It's more than easy to do the right thing - do you now possess sufficient shame to change your ways? Will you?
"In essence, cheating involves dishonest behavior with the intent to gain an unfair advantage, often by violating rules or norms. Exploiting, on the other hand, typically involves taking advantage of a flaw or loophole in a system, often without violating explicit rules, but still potentially creating an unfair advantage."

It's no different than spawn camping, anyone can do it.

A bug being exploited is an issue with the game not the player exploiting it. Some players here will just blindly worship the game as if it has no issues though.

Why doesn't HT fix it?
The longer the game permits it to be done, the more players will consider it a legit feature and join in.
I don't GV much and I don't think the building thing is okay. But if HT thinks it's okay...and more and more players think it's okay...then this is the new virtual world and let's live with it.

I will leave the game before I "Live with it". I will continue to try and get the changes done that will prevent ANYONE from getting in the buildings. :rock

Can you carpet bomb the buildings with friendlies in close proximity?

I'm not really sure there is just one easy "fix" to the GV issues. Seen too many glitches and bugs over the years to invest much time playing in them, especially once I caught on to the glitches or exploits. Perhaps it's just part of the game engine, terrain software, etc.
Myself, I believe the GV guys have gotten too used to the way things are/were.
I can remember when they dumbed down the GV icons, back in AH2. It made encounters with GV's kinda risky cause you couldn't see them til you were in their range, and lots of times by then it was too late........you'd get smoked by a Wirb/Osty or some guy firing an HE round into the ground and you'd die from the blast splash.
With AH3 and the new terrain software, and their ability to hide in bushes that shouldn't hide them........nope......I try to avoid them if I can, unless it's a last ditch effort to save a base or town from being captured. Otherwise, I find somewhere else to play, their ability to hide, fire through seemingly solid objects, drive into buildings, etc is just not what I prefer to call a level playing field.
If HiTech addresses it, and I hope he does, it will be a welcome change to the game dynamics.

Many here have gotten used to exploiting having unrealistic rudder authority that allows a plane to turn like a rotisserie as if there is no vertical stabilizer working against the rotation in the yaw axis
There isn’t any ww2 warbird with enough rudder authority to maintain altitude (or even climb) flying a “knife edge with 90 degree bank” yet we see planes with massively heavy engines out front are able to do this.
That said, arena pilots simply exploit this and it is some pilot’s only GoTo move.
Now if HTC reduces rudder authority, the planes will handle very differently causing mass hysteria.
I would rather the rudder authority stay how it currently is because of the potential repercussions of possibly alienating our player base. I can live with the rudder like it is.
I now watch films to find out which building they are in and bomb them.
Since destroyable buildings’ walls can go from transparent from the inside to fully opaque because they are “destroyed, why not make this building/object act as “destroyed” at all times with not being able to see out.
It might be easier than fixing the building access bug.

Buildings in the terrain, ie not part of Town/Strats/Bases, are not destroyable objects. The buildings in the general terrains are Speed Tree objects. and like the trees in the terrain can not be destroyed. Using AP/HE rounds at the building do nothing to anything in the interior of the "building" as the rounds do not enter the "building". When bombs are used, they generate an explosion then does enter the building, thus damaging or destroying the gv inside. :rock
