Why would they do that Pupo. Only the person with cheat install would benefit from it. So if u wanted to fly around with a 10m head be my guest but u cant make everyone elses head 10m in size!

People play single player and feel themselves as absolute aces and then the rude awakening of the multilayer brings them down a notch and produces cognitive dissonance that leads to them talking about cheating... People are much better than the AI ok?

Its the same story with BF3 -

There are quite a lot of people who are AWESOMELY better then you, just admit it and try to improve. If you give a firing solution to your enemy, expect to die - simple as.

As Ataros suggests I's say that probably getting the right ammo belt could increase the percentage of PK. Much more "gaming the game" than cheating, as those loadouts are probably not historically correct. My two cents.

well, in 1946 it was possible. it may be possible in COD. i dotn really hack so dont ask me how.

all im saying is that i wouldnt be surprise if the game was being hacked, and VAC was not working.

It just didnt go down...it turned like it didnt had no damage at all...it only went down when i managed to kill the pilot....this was approximately 3months ago...

On the same day one of our raf pilots told us, that they have seen a 109 flying with supersonic speeds around shooting like crazy...

Maybe not historically correct but since Spitfires do not burn there is little point in bringing incendiary to a fight.

What its will be good is like counter strike, the last 5-15 second in reply when you are shooting down in the enemy view

I agree with this sentiment. I know I have to improve both my flying and dogfighting/aiming skills in order to survive online.

Situation awareness is of paramount importance. It's difficult to spot other planes in the first instance and even then to identify a friend from foe is never easy. You have to get up close to check out the plane you are targetting and so your concentration is 100% on that aspect. Check your six and your eyes can easily lose track of the plane you were originally flying towards. This is surely close to reality? How many actual WW2 pilots were shot out of the sky without even knowing what hit them?

I really like to hear other pilots on teamspeak who seem to work in teams and support each other. Fundamentally, the need to fly with a wingman was almost a given in real combat. Personally, I would love to be good enough to fly in close formation with others and therefore support each other in spotting, targetting and engaging enemy aircraft. It would be good if we "regrouped" at a given point after combat and therefore, hopefully live a bit longer?

Too often there are lone "maverick" pilots (me included) flying about without any coordination. Suddenly, you are attacked by a "better" pilot or, simply, he has seen you first, and - game over.

I recall a note from one poster who said it took a year or two in IL2 to perfect flying skills and dogfighting. I can well believe it.

I don't know enough about the potential for cheating to comment. I just accept that I have a lot to learn and believe that "practice makes perfect" to be the only way forward

Communication is the key. Fly alone and you are gonna die!

Also don't forget some people already have 100's even thousands of hours already flying one particular aircraft in CoD, so anyone with less than that is going to be at a disadvantage.
