New Hack?

Re: New Hack?

When you release your flares, they make a clicking noise, is that what you're hearing?

Re: New Hack?

Re: New Hack?

More than likely, they press C to look behind them and drop them when they see the smoke trails coming.

Re: New Hack?

I'd have to agree that the intermittent tone is when the target is being acquired, and the constant tone is when the target has been locked. It has nothing to do with when the missile has been fired.

Re: New Hack?

Where does this intermittant beep/solid beep thing come from? ATA and STA missiles have two stages - target acquisition and lock. You get intermittant beep when it's acquiring your target and solid beep when it's locked. Same thing on the Klaxon inside a vehicle, intermittant when it's acquiring you (so the person firing on you hears a beep) and solid when it's locked (the person firing on you hears tone). It has bugger all to do with whether the missile is inbound or not. I've actually tested this out by circling around a mobile AA battery on OCS and flared while all his missiles missed, and then I continued to hear the solid tone for the 5-10 seconds (however long) until his missiles reloaded and he fired again. Unless the Tunguska has its own set of rules on the matter, that's how it works. Maybe jets work differently, but I doubt it. Same thing with the laser guided missiles in the bombers - the ground vehicle will hear solid tone when he's locked on to, and intermittant while he's in the targeting reticle of the gunner but not yet locked.

Re: New Hack?

....wow. This is not a hack.

But that would be a pretty cool hack. Autoflare. lol

Anyways, fire one to bait flares, then fire the other after the flares and one will hit.

Re: New Hack?

no wonder i get shot down so many times.
I thought it searches for a lock and when it does lock thats when the solid beep comes on
i guess i was wrong :P

Re: New Hack?

A real hack would drop flairs for every missle fired, not just once when you can die ont he second incoming missle.

Re: New Hack?

'Douche, could you please show me where I have ever said anything about hacks before? I simply asked a question. There is a question mark right on the title of the thread FFS.'



(why did you just call me a shower??????

french people will get it)

you could have called the title 'unusual aa problem, but no... gotta make it new hack?

who the hell would take the time to make a hack which drops your flares for you. When all you need to do is press x ffs,

Re: New Hack?

I got accused of hacking for using an aimbot in a jet...right.

These two clan buddies got pissed off because I kept gunning them down with the F35 as they tried to "own" by dropping bombs all over the place. They expected me to use missles to take them out.

Them: "Is the gun all you use to shoot us down"
Me: "yup:
Them: "Hacker, N2K is using an aimbot"

So see how now even knowing how to fly a jet is being a hacker?

Ontopic: When flying I always watch my back, and when getting locked on I keep the camera looking behind me. Once I see a missle get close to my engines I continue on the menuver I was doing and drop flairs. Never go straight after you drop your flairs, then they will hit for sure.

It's not a hack it's a skill, which in games skill = hack.

Re: New Hack?

well when ever i am flying i want till it does that long beep. then i release my flares and do a dive bomb. it does work. sometime.

Dude, read the title of your post?

Re: New Hack?

not everything that u cant kill is because of a hack.

Is that what I said? If you lock someone for an extended period of time (over 5 seconds) and they drop flares at the EXACT same time that you fire it is unusual If it happens several times, something is up. Also note, I don't have any problem getting kills.

You aren't |TOC|Jethro are you?

No.

when you are being locked on to, you will hear "beep beep beep beep beep beep"... etc. When a missle FIRES, you will hear "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!"

I never noticed that. That definately explains it. Thank you.

I know you haven't been playing for a while however, please stop saying hack hack hack everytime something seems unusual.

Douche, could you please show me where I have ever said anything about hacks before? I simply asked a question. There is a question mark right on the title of the thread FFS.

You said the plane was locked for 8 seconds right? Your plane has about 6 missiles.

I said I was in AA, I had 2 missiles and try not to waste them.

Re: New Hack?

You said the plane was locked for 8 seconds right? Your plane has about 6 missiles. So lets do the math, if you instantly shoot 1 missile after lock, the target with drop flares (like you mentioned) in 3 seconds the enemy's flares are gone, you lock again and he won't have a chance to drop anymore flares so the target is 100% vunerable.
