[AAR] Fools Road Tank Hunting - Nickbond, I apologize.
Posted: 2008-11-03 08:00
On Saturday I joined a server in central europe during Muttrah City. A squad member started performing smacktard moves with a car just like the nameless one that taunts PR on youtube. Anyway, the SL threatened to kick if he continued, to which the smacktard (name escapes me) replied that if he were kicked he would kick all of us from the squad. Lo and behold, he was kicked and then he kicked all of us from the squad. I have no idea how he did that but he did.
Two minutes later I then joined the ETU server that was on Fools Road and joined a squad that was assaulting and securing Hilltop Estate. Enemy tanks were set up to the north on the road shooting anything that moved. One tank eventually rolled into the Estate compound so a member got a HAT kit and we hit the tank on front armor after we had set off a large number of charges on or next to the tank. The SL kept crying foul play since the tank seemingly took no damage (I never saw the tank since I was hiding in the little shack in the south of the compound shooting troops that were trying to climb the ladder to the roof). I cannot say whether the tank was smoking or not. Later the SL was disconnected, we lost Hilltop and then we respawned to try to take Train Depot back. Same scenario. The squad had a HAT and we got set up on the hill West of train. Again, I was not looking at the tank. HAT round went off and the tank (so my squad members say) seemed to not even be smoking after taking the HAT round on its top armor. At this point the whole squad started spamming chat messages that the tank was rigged and that the crew was hacking. Nickbond, I apologize for this. I let my e-motions get the best of me and since my squad was getting wiped out I assumed someone was cheating. I apologize profusely to you and to ETU for rude chat messages and for so flippantly claiming that hacking was going on. It was not a proud moment for me, especially after both tanks went down and were obviously taking damage. Sorry. Nickbond, I looked for your profile to send you a personal message but was not sure which Nick was you.
