Title: HTC, Can you please explain this?
Post by: Heinkel on June 03, 2002, 06:18:58 PM
Watch the video, then tell me how i lost my 262? I am clueless on this one? No cons around me within icon range, no enemy fleet near me, and i just hear "ping" and back to  tower.

I usually don't whine about loosing 262's, but i am really at a loss at what happened here?

Thanks and

LOL. WOW

Check the film in the FILM VIEWER and in the game's built in film recorder.

When I first saw it in the AH film recorder playback, I saw an F6F warp above you and above the clouds a second before the ping of death.

When I saw it in the FILM VIEWER, I didnt see the F6F anywhere.. but i DID see this:

LMAO. :D :D

Proof of the spitfire being a UFO!!! :D

Seriously though, I've had similar things happen to me, is it caused by people with unbelivably bad lag?  Are there random mechanical failures?  Surface to Air missles?  

I suppose it could be lucky first-shot-first-hit by CV flak?

Heinkel, i think it may have been you that had the bad lag.  After looking at the film i see every other a/c alt changing from -200k to 40k and speeds in the 1000's to the - numbers again.  Very odd indeed.

Its a conspiracy.  Really its kind of like the fact that I always die on my first flight of every tour, no matter what I do. Hell I could just up and hit .ef but someone would find a way to kill me first :eek:

Anyway, I have had the same thing happen to me but since I enver film I can't display the crap that happens in the MA. Personally I think HT has it in for me and wants me to leave.:rolleyes:

The alt's are messed up becuase i cut out that part from the film. I have the original film, with all the correct alt's in it. If you want the original, e-mail me at none of your business

The alt's will be correct on that film

Acid, i was talking to squaddie's and they were talking to me before, during, and after this whole thing happened, so i doubt it is Connection problmes

The bird strike does sound plausable though... :)

"Acid, i was talking to squaddie's and they were talking to me before, during, and after this whole thing happened, so i doubt it is Connection problems"


" I have had friends fly to my exact position without being able to locate me and I am only able to see them as "Distant" contacts. I still received text messages "

Sounds like he could talk to other people to.  Question is, could they see you?

EDIT:  I'm in that film and when I looked at it I was goin' something like mach 2 in a zeke.  You would think I would remember something like that...  :D
