Let's not get into how many hours we all have. But the performance of the plane didn't even come close to replicating anything that is available in the game, and as I say, it was a very early tier match where most of the aircraft don't even possess air brakes. If I could attribute this to anything else, I would have done so.

Then sat behind me for 10 seconds, then took off past me at twice the speed they were doing whilst behind me.

This thing went from what I'm guessing was 600+, and shaved off 50% of that speed in about 1.5 seconds. And I'm not talking about your usual air brakes. Originally posted by KFT Dutch:I can't recall the fighter exactly, but it was a tier 2 fighter. So is hacking common in this game? I don't want to bother getting back into it if this is going to happen as frequently as it has been in the last few days. As far as I know, no plane in the entire game can perform like this, and this match was in the early tiers where the planes perform particularly badly. He hung behind me, matching my speed, got a critical on me, and once I started to go down in flames, the fighter shot past me and straight up vertical at what was easily 600+. However, the fighter came down behind me, levelled out as well, and slowed down to the same speed as me in about 1.5 seconds. I switched to turret view and levelled out, expecting the fighter to go flying past me and take a shot at it as it went past. I got up to around 450 when the fighter caught me. I noticed a fighter diving at me from above so I started to dive to increase my speed. I was flying a bomber at a speed of around 350. However, some of the instances that I've been shot down have been extremely questionable. Played it again this week for the first time in ages, and I don't know if I'm just rusty, or if the game has changed that much, but I have been getting wrecked in every match. I stopped playing this game like 3 years ago.
