Is there a way to refuse someone's attemp to .wingman you?
If not, I think there should be.
For instance, I had a guy .wingman me the other day and mistyped it, so I caught him as it went out on channel 1. He then said he was doing it for a friend so I could be hunted.
Maybe there could be a pop-up that tells you someone has requested to be your wingman, and you can accept or decline.
On another point: Since this guy admitted to me that he was highlighting me for his friend on another country, is that allowed in the game? And if that is allowed, can I in turn .wingman this guy and broadcast his posistion on channel 1?
Just curious.
-
I dont see why not? If he is using it to broadcast your position to someone else....do the same thing back to him.

First of all, I think its a pretty much non issue 99% of the time.
The situation you are describing is rude at best. Finding you is not a big deal, Ive had people follow me around for a few days before when they wanted to see how I bomb, and I find nothing wrong with it. Finding you to pass the information to another party to kill you is wrong on so many levels.
There is no effective way to prevent such things, and that type of side spy cheating goes on all the time (which is why many missions fail). Best solution I can think of is an option for you to be NOTIFIED when someone wingmans you.....and it does need to be a choice...otherwise it could be annoying.
Wingman command is great for protecting goons and buffs, finding buddies ect, but should never be used as you describe. My solution, as for an appology, and/or post the offenders CPID if you feel so inclined.....its stupid crap like that which have me running film 100% of the time....ya just never know when the next BozoŽ is comming around.

My "countryman" that .wingman'd me is Aub, and the "Friend" was AKAK, who was hunting me.
They both even addmitted it quite openly.
I thought it was sad.

LMAO!!! You're that little twit Crumb?
And it wasn't Apar, it was Aub and I wouldn't have hunted you if you hadn't started your dweebish little whining over open channel. I gave up the hunt when it became obvious that you were hiding and flying from bases out of range of any Knights and when you did venture south long enough to run into a Knight, you were with the Rookie hordes, hiding behind their skirts. Now that I thought was sad.

damn dweeb hunters, ruining the game! :D

Now it's a confirmed mistake. No such thing as Rook Horde. Maybe you are talking about Bish? :D

.wingman me any time... ya just might find me :)

I was thinking the same thing Steve :)

I dont' like the idea of pop up windows at all, but a message would be fine. The pop up window idea is a pain in the butt, especially when you use .wingman simply to find a pilot who just advertized he's a goon requesting escort.
There should be menu on the clipboard to edit a list of pilots with checkboxes for each containing things like : squelch VOX, squelch text, squelch check 6, ignore .join, disallow that player to .wingman you, show in Squad colour, show in X colour, etc. This list should be stored and kept for each log in.
Several people have requested a system that allows you to permanently squelch sombody, and this system would allow that, adnd more.
Who was the guy who was spying on you? That's just wrong. He should be sent to fly with the bish for that for his punishment.

And it wasn't Apar, it was Aub and I wouldn't have hunted you if you hadn't started your dweebish little whining over open channel.
My appologies Apar, it was Aub.
AKAK, actually what started it was on channel 2.
You had told Steve you where at a certain base, then 3 seconds later you told Aub that you where at a completely different base.
All I did was tell Aub that you where lying about location to one of us, as a courtesy to him. Then Aub tells me to "STFU, AKAK doesnt lie!"
So I really messed up, now Im afraid to fly.

Lighten up Francis!

Ummm...being in a different country, I can't tune to your Channel 2. So your whines must have started on Channel 1.
You had told Steve you where at a certain base, then 3 seconds later you told Aub that you where at a completely different base.
What happened was, Steve asked my location and as I was typing it, I got shot down. Happens when you try to type in the middle of a furball. When I reupped about 10 seconds later, Aub asked my location and since I had just reupped, I told Aub my new location.
All I did was tell Aub that you where lying about location to one of us, as a courtesy to him. Then Aub tells me to "STFU, AKAK doesnt lie!"

No, all you did is whine over Channel 1 about everything under the stars and then hide when you knew you were being hunted.

Dear god, I traumatized this boy for life.
Crumb, as I told you the other day, you're quite cute. As others suggested, consider it an honor to TRY and be hunted, considering AKAK never got his well deserved scalp of yours due to the 'coincidence' you'd always turn tail when he came near.
-
Hmmm, Crumb loves to fight..... duel even...perhaps Crumb wasn't in a turnfiter and AKAK came in high..this "turn tail" and "hide" stuff probably doesn't paint the whole picture. And Aub, if Crumb didn't want to tell AKAK his position maybe he had a reason. Certainly you made yourself look like a bit of a weenie by volunteering it for him. What if Crumb had been in a goon otw a base to drop troops? You had no idea of knowing what he was up to and your actions could have endangered a rook op. Yes, I understand this is a minor thing in a game of no consequence. In the future, if you want to reveal the position of teammates who do not want to be exposed, change sides and do it for someone other than rooks; we have enough of a challenge in front of us rooks under the current numbers condition. It's just a game.. but it's a team game Aub, stay out of it next time.
oh, and AKAK.... how ya doin buddy? :)

Steve, I told AKAK exactly where I was at when he asked, and I wasnt even paying attention to where he was....... I never saw AKAK, I had no clue as to his loc and didnt really care.

Was kind of strange you were never where you said you were. "I'm at A25" you said, and yet there weren't any Rookies around and when Aub gave me your location, you were up north, nowhere near where I was.

Now that is funny. Everytime I've encountered this putz, he's always running or hiding behind someone's skirt. You should have heard him bleet like a sheared sheep when I bagged his P-50D in a A-20.

Hehe hiya Steve :D Next time I'll try not to be AFK having a smoke :p

Now your're just being childish.
I have never once complained about being shot down during the entire time I've played AH.
I'll give you or anyone else $100.00 if anyone can provide proof of me complaining about being shot down in-game, ever.
The only reason I started this thread was to ask if it is permissible to announce a teammate's location.
I didnt even complain about Aub's lame .wingman....... I only let people know what he was doing so people would know what kind of teammate we had.

no there isn't and yes you can.
dweebs hunts are a great and hallowed tradition, and AH makes it ever so much easier.
:D
my only suggestion is to get good enough to whack the guys hunting you - or organize a counter-hunt.
it's just a *game* yanno? ;)

What they did wasn't cool. Everybody can be a jerk sometimes, me included. But you have to accept responsibility for whatever you did to make them want to do it too.
If you don't like how the other kids are playing around you, don't get into a fight, go to another swingset. It's just not worth it.
P.S. (If you log off and back on it will erase the .wingman until they do it again)
