You were already at 800+ KPH by the time you were attacked. There is nothing at 8.7 BR that has a chance of catching up to a Sea Vixen once it reaches speed. It is fundamentally one of the most obvious cases of pay-to-win in sim and I have zero sympathy for people that play it.
I left the match to get the replay. If you stick in the game for too long then replay files will corrupt and not work correctly. Because blue side players had left that match was not re-joinable due to team balance.
The only populated match after that was a Vietnam. I am not flying a plane with extremely limited fuel on a 128km map. You can check that replay by the way and see that I stick around for that one until I run out of fuel. Even though you made snide comment and left as soon as you saw me on the board.
This is the next match I was in by the way. Notice how Greek Air Force actually respawns and plays the game even if someone on the enemy team kills him. I wonder why props ends up being much more lively than Rank V-VI jets? Maybe it has something to do with players not leaving the second they aren’t able to seal club.
You know what you were in the meantime? Spinning a biplane on the runway in some random game hoping that I had followed you. I know this because I joined another Rank V game after this and saw your name greyed out with some biplane on the side that I joined.
The reason I was able to link the clip from the streamer is because he is a mutual acquaintance and the sim community is very small. It was also noteworthy that your go-to response was to accuse him of cheating. Which is also something you seem to imply I do as well.
I spawn camp planes I don’t like. Planes? or players.
Then I J out immediately to ‘save the replay’… uh ok.
I switched nations and planes purely coincidentally… again… for the 20th ? time now… and just happened to land on the opposing side 2 minutes later.
Irrelevant.
Abuses the spectate feature to see my silly biplane.
Flangas are pretty hard to aim, especially on a moving Helicopter. Sadly too many cheaters in ground sim. I normally just check the replay before I accuse anyone…
Cheating? You? You’re simply using the tools at your disposal to find, follow and kill people in game… they sure made it easy for some people to fly directly across the map straight to other specific players while knowing where they are…
How about :
You leave me alone. Stop following me in game from room to room!
I go back to forgetting you existed.
You continue to leave me (and hopefully the other ‘dozen and a half’ people on your shit list) alone.
Everyone in this thread sighs a sigh of relief at such a mature resolution.
Take a breath and THINK. You really think Gaijin wants content creators who can’t leave people alone?
To be fair is that on the wt platform itself? Or is that on other social media platforms? I doubt this matters in a wt context. What he does in wt is perfectly fine i think according to game tos. You can’t talk behaviours on other platforms and act like wt should care about that, that’s completely unrelated to wt and should not be punished
You are actually clueless. I have been in the same room as you maybe 3 times in the past 6+ months and two of them were yesterday. The other time was some random top tier game when all of the brackets reset and there was only one room available. You have been left alone for the better part of a year and came to the thread to complain about “harassment”.
Also you did not switch nations from what I remember. On the Vietnam that I joined, you were still flying the Sea Vixen as far as I know. I didn’t bother to check the replay to look. You didn’t switch nations 20 times…you got shot down once, acted like a spaz in chat, and then went to a different game. I left game to clip the replay because you crashing out in game chat is hilarious to me. I then joined the next available populated Rank V lobby which was the one that you were in.
Greek Air Force or any other commonly known player is not irrelevant. They have just as much claim, if not more so, to being “harassed”. There is a long list of players that can claim harassment by your definition.
Greek Air Force, Vplars, ROKSTAR, Wingalingdragon, KrabNation, Krin, IdahoBookworm, and a much longer list of players have been “harassed” by your standard. In fact I have played more games against them in a 1 month period than I have against you in a 6+ month period.
What do you mean by abusing the spectate feature? When you leave a game, the last plane you were in will be displayed next to your name if you join on the same team. I joined on the same team long after you had left the game. Your the one that went to a game and wasted your own time in a biplane because you thought I was following you.
Notice in the screenshot how the guy with the greyed out name still has Yak-3P listed? That’s how I know you went to a new game and sat around in a biplane. I ended up joining on the side that you were on long after you had already left the lobby. This isn’t abusing the spectate feature…it’s called reading.
You haven’t been followed for months at this point because you do not fight back. You leave any game where the enemy team is even mildly competitive and you can’t farm free kills. You aren’t even remotely remarkable in this habit either.
Well that explains everything! So sorry for the confusion!
Glad we could resolve this in a sensible and adult manner and can bring this matter to a close. I trust we have no need for further communication.
Good luck in all your future endeavours!
Best

These kinds of people are not hard to find in sim at all. In fact when I first started to play sim and was an open canopy MiG-23 player…I was told that I basically should not be allowed to have an opinion because my KD was not high enough at the time.
I found out about Kurt from WoVi discord because he was bragging about his F-5C kill to death ratio at the time, and a friend of mine basically told him that he was basically just farming noobs and it wasn’t that big of a deal. The Kurt guy then went on about how he was top 20 in Sim TSS and challenged the dude to a duel…and then he lost. He was in my server for about 6 months and then eventually left. He now only plays the game on SA servers and leaves any game that I show up in while playing against him. Or practically anyone else that is in my server, the nimbal server, or the simply server.
After he left it appears he doubled down on just padding stats and making sure to never face any kind of challenge. The guy is 40:1 K/D in the Typhoon with a 35% win rate. That is a win rate that is somehow significantly lower that the global overall average for the German Typhoon…which really indicates that for all of his “skill” that he really has no impact on the outcome of the matches that he is in.
And once again…I should reiterate that this mentality is not uncommon.
Guy with the arrow on him is guy who plays whatever is busted for the day and leaves as soon as someone can even challenges him. It is incredibly common in middle tier jets.
This is why I stick to prop tiers. There’s far less cheese and it’s more fun in general.
That said I have noticed that the German team in the 5.3-6.3 bracket can be toxic. Played a game last night and it’s nothing but Ju288C’s with fantasy flight models dogfighting fighters and bailing before you can shoot them down… if you can catch them that is, also don’t forget the Russian B-I which even the worst pilots can go 10-1 in.
On the subject of Russia I’ve been spading the I-225 and that’s a brilliant aircraft even if it melts itself with WEP (AEC). It feels strange flying something Russian that doesn’t get asthma over 5,000ft.
I kind of had a similar but opposite experience at 4.0-5.0. Americans all in P61C and A26s flying SUPER low so you cannot do side-on or pop-up attacks, only top down and using third person gunners to spray the hell out of anyone trying to go for the A point.
It’s very annoying event-wise. Last night I couldnt find a single sensible lobby (4.0-5.0, 5.3-6.3) that didn’t feel awfully lopsided, had cheese or terrible weather. Whereas when it was 4.3-5.3 the day before I had one of the more fun sim matches (we still had Ki-84 and Lf Mk IX spam, but at least it wasn’t third person gunner cheese flying on deck and both sides stayed well until 8 or so deaths for ~0.9/1.1 K/D without giving up.)
Edit: Tried another 4.0-5.0 lobby today. Result: 5 vs 11
I’m sorry i quitted air sb, but on wt it’s pure crap. Found more satisfying playing the old IL-2 series.
Can’t stop saying thanks to gaijin for make me stop playing my fav mode.
Props are not immune to the same kind of behavior.
This is from a guy that I consistently see in prop games on basically a nightly basis. He is an extremely cautious player and only looks to kill people with boom and zoom attacks.
Apparently I am cheating because I was able to hit him during his vertical extension in some previous game. Also this is a pretty realistic technique for dealing with boom and zoom players.
This is an excerpt from an interview with Robert Johnson, a US WW2 P-47 ace. Unfortunately this idea that heavy American fighters can zoom climb into the German experten and gun them down is a completely alien concept to some players in the sim community.
I usually had little to no issues with EC and sim in general, but the last couple of days it’s been driving me up the wall.
Broken EC objectives:
Skirmish doesn’t spawn after a cap point. This used to be the case, and also was the case the majority of time I was playing… but not today. I spawn in a ground attacker that costs 14kSL to spawn, just to stare at an empty map after we capped 2 points (Sinai). 40 minutes passed from start of the match until the first enemy convoy arrived at the frontline and started a ground battle. Luckily I had bombs so I could bomb bases during that time… but if I had rockets I would be out of luck pretty much.
I paid 600k SL for the Lighning F.6 because I’ve had it with bomber/recon planes outrunning me at 7.7-10.0 BR with their magic energy retention. Not only that for some reason on Denmark the types of missions that the plane is capable of doing apparently dont spawn for the first 30 minutes - after they do, the recon plane that I now can barely catch at 1.2M GOES OUT OF BOUNDS that keeps resetting me and thus completely undoing all the chasing I did up to that point, and every second I stay airborne with it, it becomes a larger chance to receive hostile rocket propelled gifts into my rear.
Also, why cannot ordnance be jettisoned while bombs have a set target?
The gamemode keeps torqueing me over and over and makes me fight the game itself more than the actual enemies.
Or maybe just delete every non fighter plane, refund SL and make sim just another deathmatch.
It’s fun because I did more or less the same against a corsair in an A6M5, he thought he brought me up in losing speed whilst he was clearly outclimbing me, I leveled up, gain speed, I faked a stall, baited and zoom climbed
