Stat Padders FTL

[NephilimUK]

When joining a random game, keep an eye out for the ticket/time/ammo limit details - there are one or two folk who think it's a great idea to set up a game to last no more than a couple minutes, restrict the ammo and then hop into an Arado jet bomber, wait until someone (one person is fine) turns up and then start the game.. Almost guaranteed 'win'

The result being that whilst one is slowly bimbling across to the target in a Heinkel, or similar bomber, the padder will have rocketed off to the target zone, dropped his payload and (presumably) laughed his socks off as the game ends before his hapless opponent even reaches their target... Fun fun fun... (not)

If you see that guy again, grab a fast fighter and intercept him

Fighters? *eep* Lol. (I prefer bombers)

Better yet, leave his game before it begins.. (or a second or so into it)

If you take an arado as well, can you bomb him mid-air?
Then get back to your targets before the game ends

No, I actually tried this in a training mission. I managed to drop a couple of bombs on an A-20 while it was inflight but nothing happened to it.

But yeah Ive seen a certain person do that a few times. Just leave the game and join a new one.

Wow, even with hardly any stats-tracking, there are those... unbelievable. One of the reasons I don't mind the lack of online stats (although the ability to view offline stats would've been nice).

Yeah quit ONCE it has started, it pisses them off no end. Everyone should do this to them
