Title: Loggin in / Radio
Post by: mipoikel on March 26, 2002, 10:20:35 AM
Anyone else noticed that when you log in AH the first or 2 seconds you see wrong radiotexts! About 1-2 times Ive seen Fariz to say mission is up or something in green text. He is not in our side so I can see bishops radio 1-2 seconds. Its ok if we want to know when missions starts.. ;)

Today I logged in and first I saw was someone saying 40 is ready and asking troops to V40. Well I jumped to M3 in A41 and drove to 40, let troops out and wondered why they didnt capture it. Then I checked a map and realized that 40 is ours and Bishops were attacking it. :D

All I want to say is that remember check radio just when loggin in and check also who is talking. You may get important information...:)

I used to love being able to type on the other country's text buffer in Warbirds.  Disinformation was my middle name.  I used it effectively on numerous occasions.  Never over-used it, but just enough to accomplish what I needed. :D:D

Bishop is country 1, you login to that country by default and then all of your host side configs are relayed to you... radio settings, side, squad, etc.

Once you are completely logged in you won't see it, but just because the game has you in the tower doesn't mean you have logged on.. it means you are logging in.

Actually, I've freaked when I saw that.  I arrive in the tower and see HORDES of bish P51s!! :eek:  Some of which have the audacity to land on MY field which is very much alive.  I have been known to jump into a plane, get airborne and strafe the interloper (or jump into a field gun and take pot shots).  Strange, it would seem that I always get killed immediately after a hit or two by an unknown assailant and no kill would be awarded.  Suddenly, all the bish icons would start changing to green friendlies as my FE started to catch up with the host and I realized that I was fragging team mates :o

One of the reasons for keeping killshooter IMHO.  BTW, I now log in and go get a drink before deciding whether my base is being capped :D

 Ah...HA! This may be the reason I found myself in BishLand
 a week or so ago after having said "Fug iT!" the night before
 after my umpteenth CTD. I'll speculate now that the final
 straw that broke CTD happened as I was re-loggin and I got
 to "stay" in BishLand.

 When I logged in the next morning I flew a couple of quick sorties before I realized I was in the WRONG country. After
 immediately correcting THAT problem and returning to KnightLand I went of to spend the day helping my fellow
Knights win the war...only to receive the "No points awarded"
message when we finally won the war!

 From now on I don't touch ANYTHING for a few seconds after
 logging on in an attempt to prevent any future teleportations! :)
