when i moaned about border humping this is the waffle they fed me :)
this is the exact words from the mod/devs or what ever they wanna call them selves.
Sir,
The developers looked at this issue a long time ago and could not determine a way to fix it without a major rewrite of the battlefield engine. (For the same reason we cannot have larger maps.) The decision was therefore made to leave it alone.
We here at TNF had to make the call that we would only enforce penalties for this exploit in Harbor Assault and competitive play. If we enforced it anywhere else, we would be overcome by the volume of tickets and ban requests.
So unfortunately, our answer has to be... borderhumping bombers are permissible in normal game modes but not in HA or fleet competitions. please be aware that your opponent might be using the border to hide incoming waves of bombers and plan accordingly.

so!!! if i havnt gotten this wrong all the tnf devs know how to do is edit whats already there and copy/duplicate existing programming!
this may well be why our problems are not being addressed or fixed, its one thing to edit and copy and change data, but its something entirely diffrent to create new data. and it would seem these guys dont know how to do it. or even more disturbing, cant be bothered to even try.
so thats the official answer i got from my anti border humping ticket i submited.
it wouldnt have been so bad if we got it into the rule set at the very least, a simple bomber must stay on the map or face ban rule.
every one knows they are cheating when they take their bombers of the map. if its not on the map its not in the game. its really that simple.
