Strange detection spikes

[TStick]

Lately i am getting detected in rather strange ways. Well hidden behind an island, no enemy ships closer then 15 km, and i get detected where it should not happen, by planes (no-carrier games). Anyone else noticed this lately ? It smells like a hack to me.

[Nethraniel]

Spotter planes can detect very well behind islands. Many CA have them... replay? screen shots?

 

I guess you just missed the fighter plane, that spotted you.

[Shirakami_Kon]

You can't detect cruisers behind the island you are the same way they can't directly detect you and if those cruisers launch their fighter it can detect you right away, planes don't care of islands, they fly above them and spot you anyways.

I know the mechanics. I just notice an increased number of "strange" detections lately. Out of the ordinairy, Feels fishy.

This is perfectly normal. It's what happens when you're ignorant but desperate to blame something.

 

(also, how would you know there's nothing close than 15km? were every enemy ship visible on the map?)

[Nethraniel]

If it is that often, record screen shots and replays.

No need for argumentum ad-hominem.

Are you spotted by planes?

 

You may not be able to spot the planes but they are able to spot you.

Wrong, it's actually Occamz Razor

 

Either a massive amount of people are hacking the servers live in battles (if you see this frequently, then the actual numbers would be several orders of magnitude higher), or you're simply not paying attention and/or being ignorant and paranoid.

 

Also ask yourself this, does "nice, I can hack the servers to see anyone, but I'm going to make sure they know they're seen since I don't want too much of an advantage" make any sort of sense? No, if you could hack the servers, you'd just make sure you could see everyone without them knowing.

Well yes, that's just what your original post in this thread is. A baseless assertion that's worth nothing (or worse, going against reason) until you provide more than your word that it's true.

I don't see an assertion. I see a question.

[Userext]

What tier do you see this often? Cruisers starting from tier 7 get radar which has 10-12km ship detection range

[AgarwaenME]

Then you should reread your post and stop being dishonest. You asked a question, and then you answered it yourself.

You keep falling for the bait. I explained what happened in the situation he explained, since he said there were no carriers it's the only option (except for it wasn't a fighter of a cruiser, actually it was a spotting plane of a BB! Big plot twist anyways). If he keeps thinking that there's some fishy hack in the equation let him be, it's not like it's gonna change anything that much.

Man you are an annoying keyboard warrior. Go away and celebrate your superiority.

Did they not change something about plane visibility recently ?

No.

There's no value in celebrating my superiority to you. I don't celebrate taking candy from children either, but when children misbehave that's what you have to do.

Well, actually yes, you can't see planes from 30 km like you could before, before if a ship spotted a plane the whole team saw the plane, now you can just see planes in your visibility range, plane spotted by your team are marked only in the minimap, but that hasn't any direct impact really.

The changes to how CE works (or rather doesn't) with the penalty to visibility you take when firing guns is also a very minor change to the odds a random floatplane might spot you. But it's a very minor change.

i already explained what happend. Hello?

[Eberious]

I'll join you here OP, I too get this issue.

 

Won't happen every match but will get detected by nothing, no ships around other than those on the same team, no CV's, no DD in the round at all other than myself, or can see the DD on the far side of the map. And I get detected in the middle of no where. Which is starting to get annoying as players start (expectedly) shooting at me who would otherwise no have been able to see me. 

 

At times, I get detected by planes that are left circling sunk CA's and BB's which at times I can't see utill they are right on top of me. ?? so they disappear and reappear within thier detection range.

 

I'll try and get screen shots to back this up next time, but it last only for a few moments and it gone again.

 

edit:  seem only to have started from the last update as well, or so I've noticed anyways.

ships like atlanta have radar

The detection indicator states detection by plane.
