A general question

[xbrit]

Sounds like Rich thinks he's the only adult that plays, now maybe if he would just act like one and listen to some of the advice thats been offered this thread would end.

If you are circling above a V-field and try to warn your teammates in GVs about inbound enemy forces: They can not read "your" CH2.

Man, Lusche - you're on a roll!

There's another thing you've cleared up that I never realized!

Obviously a typo.  Since 2 is green, and 3 is purple (room)

of course... me fail again... Lusche bows head in shame

There's no shame in a typo.  For instance, just look at any post by HT

Thanks yet again.
HUGE help on that 'range' thing. You ROCK dude!

Should I get a bolt stretcher while I'm there?

It's just that the majority of people believe that purple CH2 text channel is "local", and works similar to the local range vox channel. They use it to type messages to other people around them.

I had no idea.





However, it does explain a few very confusing incidents . . .

Well at least Scotty I can understand, and whom contributed to the thread. I'll be succinct.

                       
 1,How far away can fighters see bombers?

1) i think most likely about 10 miles.........that's considered max visibility i think.........

 2, How much cheating goes on in the game and how hard would this be.


 That players share information on their own team in order to run up their kills. You can see you own teams little green dots anywhere on the board right? How hard would it be to mssg, phone call, or even sit side by side with a friend on the enemies team and share info?

2)aaahhh......you mean having a spy sort of?
i would imagine it to be pretty easy......i was on the ground once defending a base.....it got to the point that i gave up doing anything cept hiding to wait for the incomming troops. whelp......6 or 7 times, an enemy came flying over, on a flightpath where i know for fact he didn't see me, would make 1 turn and fly right to me. during all this there was another on the base.....hiding in the indestructiable, and he refused to do anything to help. after the guy that kept bombing me on the ground landed his 7 kills, he..on open channel.....thanked thre guy that was in the hangar.....so i would say that this is very possible/

 3, And really, what are the chances that an airplane that can only fly for a few minutes just happens upon you 2 sectors away from its base out in some Godforsake'in corner of the map?

     So what do the friendly green dots accomplish? And why do we have them? Its obvious there is cheating and info sharing going on. So how do they help the game? And shouldn't we have the option of turning them off? Because with them there is no hidden place you can be, or go to, and avoiding radar is really irrelevant.

3)i make use of these when i'm trying to rtb, as i was the other night with 5 p38's chasin me.....i head towards friendly territory, or the nearest friendly all the while informing them ogf my alt, speed, heading, etc....thus helping them help me

                            Forget the Generals kid Ive known dyslexic privates that can understand English.

                     Thank you for posting like a gentleman. But even you are clueless as to what I was saying. My skills, your skills, me cheating personally, you cheating personally, had nothing to do with this thread. Ive survived far worse then 16yos calling me newb my friend. But I appreciate the well intentioned advice anyways even if it does make me chuckle.

This guy has the biggest chip on hie shoulder I have ever seen !!! How many times is he going to come onto these boards, ask a question, and then trash everyone for trying to help him out ???

Rich, huddle down in your bomber, and fly you circuitous routes to your targets, and while your at it, bury your head in the sand, and ignore the world around you because obviously none of us have a clue, and couldn't possibly help you.

Come on back when you grow up.

                         Obviously I thought I was the only adult here Xbrit. I mean I must have mentioned your name at least 90 times here as being a kid. Sheesh!

                        The thread will probably end when people, and children, with nothing to offer will cease with the stupid one liners.

                       Ive figured this game out already. Its not Doctorate level calculus. Seeya in the furball kiddies, I'm a comin in my Death Star 17's.

Ok, I for one need some "closure" here.

Did ANYTHING that was posted help you what so ever?  Did none of the posts that explained how it all works do anything for ya'?

I for one would like to know just what you didn't understand, and if it was clarified.
