One will crash land on a base and divert Flak whilst the others camp over it (this to them is the art of 'air combat tactics' and they have perfected it, along with the ability to 'warp me out of here - Scotty' a la Startrek.

Meanwhile, much to their delight, players continue to respawn at the same airbase despite having had their butts truly flamed on each previous attempt.

I don't know wether to laugh or cry but if players are offended by their stats - spawn elsewhere and get on TS...........problem solved! :grin:

SEE I said on Different airfield.

The prob is that the Radio tells you where the poor Brits (or German) will spawn and that some from scratch did not care to exploit that major flaw :(

If you wanna get rid of people like alambash, don´t list their stats anymore from now on. Exclude these people from the stats consequently, if you think they don´t contribute to sportmanship-like behavior.

Also in the last two days someone called alambash has made 12 starts, 101 air kills and 16 ground kills. What in the heck is he flying!

Allegedly... the magic Warp key. Although I see from other posts he is also a spawn camper. What an immature waste of a good Air Combat sim. Calls for a server-side setting to detect the use of that facility and crash the user's Launcher.

Solution? Spawn elsewhere in numbers and go vulch the low flying little kiddie Campers until they get fed up with creating targets of themselves. Could be viewed as an objective with real value :)

On Warping, there are a small but increasing number of players doing this if the extremely conveniently timed warps are anything to go by. More children. And Yes, I noted who they were and their connections are good so its not that and its too conveniently repetitive.

Shame they can't be banned.

Oi! That 'Major Flaw' is called RDF! My brilliant controller can see into France.

OTOH if the Blues are getting those reports too but about RAF aircraft, I think the old Freyas and Wurzburgs are a bit overmodelled.

There were maybe a dozen or so players on this morning, and checking the player list before I spawned I noted that Mk.MrX, Mk.Mol' and the =?= guys were on Blue (and they work together). None of the regulars on allied TS.

These guys are good and specialise in low level sorties over Hawkinge and 'Mansgate' (JTDawgs reference for Ramsgate and Manston .....:grin:). Its absolute madness to even consider going near those areas let alone spawn at them if you are solo with few reds in the air!

But some players seem addicted to them and try to succesively spawn at them - why?.

I spawned at Maidstone and watched the usual slaughter house kills taking place at the hands of the Russian Blues (mainly Spit2's to boot - funny, I thought these were Uber, indestructible ac that, even in the hands of the incompetent, would wreak havoc and destruction on the Blues? - sure I read that somewhere!).

I didn't go anywhere near those areas and stayed at 18K in my 1a (2's were all taken other wise I would sure as hell picked one with these Ruski's on server)- if they want to add me to their tally then they have to bloodywell come up and get me and leave their preferred killing zone!

Heh! That he surely is.

I spent most of yesterday online, spawning at Ramsgate in a 1a in order to protect Manston.

There are a few blokes, including the chap in question, also landing at 'Mansgate' in order to set the friendly AA fire raging.

So be it. I got 24 kills in total yesterday, most all in defence of the North Foreland from these dedicated few. Had a tremendous time. :grin:

Lol..someone actually bothers to do that..land to attract AAA so someone else can vulch the airfield freely?

What a to$$er

I doesn't matter where the contact is, England, Channel, or France, if an aircraft is positioned to "spot" them. You don't even have to be able to see the aircraft, it just has to be within some sort of range where it could be detected.

Well that's even more interesting and, I'm afraid Tomcat, it simply means that friendlies are doing what they would do, reporting their sightings.

Of course it would be nice to think we had RDF/GCI capability too, we'd get to the Blues even quicker :)

They're cute, last night when they attack Manston, one will crash/land on Ramsgate runway - then all hell breaks loose as every damned Flak gun in the area fires at Ramsgate runway making it very risky trying to take off in the crossfire!
