If you think you're going to outwit/outsmart/outgun the native inlanders by grabbing a winchester and running up to NWA, you probably deserve the fate you've received. I've been lucky enough to play with all of the great loot you've mentioned and didn't get any of it from any airfield.

Who engaged us tonight in US8 over in Berezino? We decided to go heavy for fun, no silenced weapons, and the main squad of 6 (I was keeping an eye from an elevated position) moved in on the town from the south and cleared the first residential complex, hospital, and store. We lost two at that point - one had to log for work, another had family agro and logged as well. Another got banged up from walkers, and retreated to my overwatch position in the trees above the town. That left a small fireteam (call them Alpha 1,2, and 3) to move on to the northern side. I decided to switch tactics at this point (mistake) and enter the town as a second fireteam with the patched up buddy (Bravo 1&2) and rejoin Alpha as they moved through the northern residentals and stores. We moved through the southern side of Bere without much issue, though with a lot of noise as I was being fairly free with my m14 rounds. (another mistake) We crossed from southern Bere to northern Bere under the cover of Alpha 3. As soon as we cleared the field however, we came under fire from the same hill we had just crossed. Both Alpha 3 and Bravo 2 took hits, with Bravo 2 KIA, and Alpha 3 busted up with a broken leg.. he crawled into the northern grocery store and holed up, while I ran across into the apartments and rejoined Alpha 2.. A few minutes later, we heard silenced rounds from real close ouside, and Alpha 1 (who was outside the whole time) ended up in a quickdraw with whoever it was. He got shots on with a FAL, but died to an m14 round. No idea if that guy was KIA or alt-f4, though we did hear what seemed to be multiple flies. At this point, our other guy who logged earlier for work came back, and was almost immediately set on in the southern residential areas by sniper fire from the treeline. He snuck into a building only to be ambushed and killed by someone who was telling him over direct comms he was a friend. Kind of funny. So our squad of 6 is now down to 3, with Bravo 2 combat ineffective inside the grocery store and Alpha 2 and Bravo 1 with limited visibility outside the apartment. Alpha 2 exits the apartment and saves some of the gear from Alpha 1, and then we both crawl over to the store and patch up Bravo 2. Egressed out to the east towards the lumber mill from there, moving house to house keeping careful eye to the south. While the engagement didn't go our way, it was certainly a lot of fun. Salute to whoever it was. We went looking for trouble and found it. None of us hit alt-f4 when the sh*t hit the fan either!

I can buy the first two guys even though they were in the trees..but I would love to know how you spotted me. I'll be happy to go back to the same spot and take a screenshot to show how absurd that concept is. It's not like the server has the green dots on the sides of the screen when friendlies are nearby. If I had been with them and ran off when they got popped id understand, but there was absolutely no information that you would have had to know there was a 3rd person in our group

Thanks Zero - I usually run fraps and record all engagements, but just reinstalled windows and hadn't gotten around to it yet. I know these are issues that you can find anywhere, but it sounds like whoever this group is they have set up shop with vehicles. I do not know what a "pathfinder" is but I just refuse to believe that someone would be able to see me from my position. The way the terrain elevation was, I was on a flat area above the road and could not see the road or any vehicles till they had passed. For someone to spot me they would have had to be looking directly on their 9 o'clock at the right moment where the terrain dropped away from my position and gave me a angle at the road. Mind you i was at least 100m away as well. The bike or atv did not stop past the small vantage point or go around. I just find it incredibly unlikely that this person just happened to be glancing my way and could pick my body out from a stand of trees while driving and looking directly left. A more likely scenario is that with a tag over my head, the person drove to the best position for a clear shot. Anyway, good to know you guys are aware. I wish general chat was enabled as at least then people could warn others about possible hack issues.

It might have been a bike. I was far enough away and couldn't tell.. was definitely with the bike or the atv. I wish I had my 107 equipped instead of being in the pack, although it would have taken a miracle shot to win an engagement with the odds that stacked.

Beware of US 104 (Wolvesofwar.org) Was with my usual 3 man squad last night on 104.. we are running through the trees and get separated west of Klen mountain w. of Khelm. I am in the treeline just west of the gas station there, they are in the trees south. They call out vehicles that are coming up the road from the south. Guys in the vehicles stop right next to their treeline, get out, and one shot both of them. I am in a prone position under a bush, far enough away that I don't hear the shots or the vehicles. Both continue up the road a few minutes later, and I watch a blue troop carrier ride past into the distance towards NE airfield. The 2nd vehicle however stops (I think it was an atv) almost exactly parallel to me. I see the guy get out, and train what might have been an AS50 directly on my position. I aborted out right then and there. I'm not exaggerating with any of this account. There is absolutely no way someone in a car should have seen me in my position, which was at least 100m west of the road in a wooded treeline. The two guys that got popped had a very similar thing happen last night to them and chalked it up to a good ambush, but now we are thinking that it was the same guys. Same MO. No screenshots or video to prove it, just wanted to share. Not exactly sure what the fun in playing like that is. The draw of the game is fear and with that kind of exploiting, where's the fear?
