261 [DMOD] Thunder_Bunz Members 358 posts 10,469 battles Report post #2 Posted July 11, 2021 The last post in that thread explains why it was locked. Because railing about suspected cheating in the forums (esp without a replay to back it up) accomplishes nothing except rile folks up, which is not what these forums are for. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it because it brings up cheating? The 2 hours is irrelevant...it just happened to be when the mod saw the thread. Not like he saw it earlier & waited 2 hours. The real question is why another thread about the same subject still w/out a replay? Although before it got locked I wanted to ask if you were located? That would give an indicator of where to aim as you went from 1 square to the next & the Radio Location switched locations for them.

389 [OPG4] Boomer625 Members 1,203 posts 2,920 battles Report post #5 Posted July 11, 2021 It comes down to three main things: 1. There was something to shoot at, have locked /spotted. The ship shot, and the shells landed while the players ship was undetected and sailing along the same path 2. Skill - using map, radio location, and last positioning to predict a path, fire, and hit 3, luck - some guy decided to take a cinematic screenshot of the guns firing, or wanted to dump some ammunition it could be that it was aimed at another ship and the dispersion hit the undetected player, which I personally have done multiple times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had an 'over' finish off a DD a couple days ago with Alabama... I saw the sinking and laughed, then went to the replay after to see what actually happened.

Is it because it brings up cheating? Hi Captain, When you think there is a cheat going on, the best way and was always encouraged to submit CS ticket with the replay attached. It was discussed so many times previously and always that way. regards, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
