It wouldnt prevent anything at all. All it prevents is a single person spying. Two people can still spy on seperate accounts. It's pointless, I'm sorry.

Be encouraged by the fact that 95% of people don't care enough about 'the war' to bother spying.

Don't get the comments about chasing Dots? I am asking for the option to turn off your green dot! Can't chase one if its not there!

Let me ask inject another question; What would it hurt if a pilot had the option of turning off his green dot?

None I think, and it would prevent one form of cheating.

Here's what you don't get. You see a dot on your monitor out of icon range. It isn't on dar so it must be an enemy so you chase it. Turns out it's just a paranoid goon driver on your own side and you just wasted gas and time.

But why not have a simple option to prevent abuse of this loophole?

where is the "cheating" part? someone have an aimbot, god mode hack, neon skin hack or something like that?

so you go in, turn off your green dot on dar option...if no one else does, your little green dot is still on their clipboard.

So..... Basically, no father/mother and son/daughter can play together because they use the same default gateway?

No offense intended, but why is it we see posts like this from someone with a .09 K/D.  To me it seems they should learn the game before suggesting that people with 2 accounts are having an impact on game play.  It's kind of like someone telling Emeril to change a recipe before tasting the dish...  :noid

I don't even see the issue with that...
spies == combat.

If your goal is to not fight other humans, play off line.

It's more like somebody writing Conde Nast with bad things to say about a restaurant's bathrooms - after they deliberately dropped trou and splatted a chunkload of corrosive hoishey squoit onto the floor in that same bathroom...

or would it be more like them dinging the condition of the restaurant's bathrooms after they stood on the lid and cigar-stubbed one onto the wall?

Maybe it'd be more like if they did the above after using the sink or urinal for an "inappropriate deposit".

Anyway, yeah, .09 is pretty bad. I killed a guy... or more like got on his six and watched him kill himself... the other w/e. I looked him up and he had a .04 k/d. I won't say who it was. Occasionally, though,  I get the pleasure of watching a good pilot do a dumb thing. I saw one such last w/e by one who inhabits this very board. I won't call him out but I was deadstick after ho'ing a B-17. His approach in the 190 was calculated and deliberate. When he closed to about d600, I waggled my Ki a bit, just to try to throw his aim. He continued firing, his engine roar drawing nearer, nearer, then I saw him, then <BOOM> and a system message. Nyuk, nyuk.

An IP address should not have more than one account at a given arena. They should get discoed & reported. Cheating was wrong in school when you were young right? It's still wrong now. We up a mission and get there to find a bunch of enemy flying around waiting for us before we get there. In the same direction from their base? Knowing we were NOE? Looking for us on the deck? When there was no dar there before the mission. Cheaters on here suck! Just like companies who believe cheating you out of your money & say, "Oh that's just business". Don't try to say cheating is OK, or it's rare because it never happens to you.  :ahand
