Wilbur, Where's My Carrot?

I will give Brian a medal if he bans Stalin from having anymore ideas that have the number 0.0000000002 in it!!!! =) -Ray

Long Winded???? You have to be joking. Search for Kuroi Neko posts, he has more periods in a post than there are humans to walk the earth. I even tried to get Brian and Dan to issue him a medal, The Congressional Medal of Typing. And Fej, I think I can speak for ALMOST everyone when I say that we miss him a lot. He disapeard when all the riots were happening in France.... -Ray

Well I think Dan knows how MUCH I love the MC 2005 (The bestest most awesomest and beautifulest plane EVER). I bet if the Russians are added that the Mig-3 will be on that list! Anyone wanna take that bet? -Ray

Wow this has actually made this game play differently. I like that the AI isnt cheating evey mission now. Even though I have only played a few missions and didnt have time to read the rest of this thread, I love the idea of bonuses in flying against human opposition. Maybe you could do a medal fo people who fly a certain amount of missions against humans or shoot down humans. -Ray

Hi Stalin. I always thought when the enemy pilot died you seemed to get more exp. -Ray

Krikies, I leave for 1 day and DIF has major news. -Ray

Yes we have dedicated an Uber Kuroi for all of those that miss him. Its better than a Hallmark Card. -Ray

First off whats a mortar squad doing being so close to be shot at by small arms fire in the first place? Think you need to find a new AO or get a commander who can setup a better defensive perimeter. -Ray

Well Stalker, the same is true whether you are playing a campaign or ladder. Kill the wingman first if you can when escorting. In campaigns sometimes it is better when playing the AI to get to your bombers level and let them take a few shots at the bombers instead of your leader. Sometimes the AI bomber will make the AI use a few of his defensive cards so when you attack him he will maybe have less cards to play. Depends on his draw and the level too. In games between humans I can almost guarantee you the enemy player will go after your fighter element first if given the choice. Ask Zonso why he has to kill off my wingy so damn much when my leader loves his little wingy. Remember killing the wingman makes the leader lose all of his additional bonuses. In ladder matches I also always go after the enemy wingman too. When you get high enough in level and can afford to buy OTS3:4 or a IMS2:Destroyed card its a given if you can get first shot on the wingman your chance of getting shot down is reduced greatly. The Destroyed card is expensive but if you get an ACE PILOT card in your first draw its almost always a kill shot. Another good strategy is called Shoot and Scoot. This is where you have a vertical roll card and you engage the enemy with as much offense as you can then dive or climb after you have finished shooting to avoid the wingman getting to shoot at you when the turn is done. You may not have the leader in a disadvantaged or tailed position but the wingman shooting at you can draw away valuable defensive cards that the enemy leader can use to his advantage too. Remember the less shots the enemy can bring to bear on you the greater your survivability. -Ray

Looks like Wolf is kicking a little Moon butt from the messages I see in these new shots. Very pretty game I must say. -Ray

Best thing to do is always start high or very high so you get first crack at them. Dive on them and kill the wingman first. It will get easier to do when you get the full version of the game. -Ray

Is that how you got out Kelly? -Ray

Hi Fej, welcome to the community. Well the campaign system doesnt really allow for user created pilots. You will have to ask Bartbert Thats Brian, [(you know Brian Marrs the pilot in the demo that you shoot down numerous times! Kinda silly to be the programmer of the game and make your pilot the easiest kill ever!!! )] if he has any plans to change this. User created pilots are also limited to 100 exp in the demo. While the pilots do carry over to the full version, the experience is capped at 100 and anything over doesnt count. Also the campaigns are soon going to be bigger and more numerous. Now if they are better, well that is up to your personal taste I suppose, but with more choices I hope you will like some or all of them. I dont play much on the ladder anymore but I play as often as people ask me to, if I have the time. But I dont understand why people say they can never get games vs humans. Except for after 12am PST I see lots of people asking for a game. But the community is small but is growing everyday. As I said before welcome to the community fej, if you have anymore questions or comments feel free to ask. Welcome aboard and I do have a website for you to look at located in my signature. -Ray

Thats a great idea. I think it would make people less likely to delete their high lvls if the wingys had a chance to rebuild quickly. -Ray

Brian, Dont you check your email????? hehe j/k! Coral Sea is last as I think Leyte, Crete, MALTA (thats for you Stalin ) and Greece are coming with not 1 but 2 Flying Tiger campaigns!!!! Yep I think its gonna be a very very good New Year!!! BTW, welcome Brian back from vacation. Now tell him to stop being a bad daddy and take his kids to see Harry Potter!!!! -Ray

Its actually called a signature, not a byline. What would braindead food entail? Army food isnt braindead, just most of the people that eat it. -Ray

Hmm not sure this was the place for that joke. Fuuny, but maybe a bit too much for here??? -Ray

Puff boy and bucko in the same post. Thank god you are a mental giant. But I am glad you have a place here to spew forth your wisdom for all to see. And btw I said FLUFF not Puff as he was a magic dragon that lived by the sea, that frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called BFC. -Ray

Its been a bad week for some of us. Lost my best Japanese pilot too. Well we rebound from loss dont we Stalin? Thats what I get for playing at 4am. Sadly it was my last game of the night.... -Ray

Yep and I am sure this will change soon too. -Ray

Tornado, there is a search function on the forums. Stalin was actually very civil about it. On other areas people bite peoples head off for not "searching" before posting. Then these same people post crap on the Peng threads.... I think the draw cards the computer gets may not count them as depleted unless they use them.(My opinion) Brian is on a well deserved vacation so you will have to wait for him to comment. -Ray

Why do you Mac users always assume that a Mac running windows is death to Apple? Apple is currently LESS than 3% or all home and Business computing. Apple needs to expand or die. If they can increase their share of the market by bringing in long time PC users that will bring in massive amounts of cash, which they need. Apple will also benefit by getting their O/S viewed and used by many more people. Right now if it wasnt for Ipod Apple would be hurting. Then in a decade or so they can revert to their current practice and compete much more effectively. -Ray

Hi Ray, Thing also to remember is the mod community here. I would bet that this game will fit the parameters for Iraq and so forth mods. Knowing how much the people here love WWII I wouldnt be surprised if a modder doesnt make a WWII campaign before BFC does. Zimbabwe rates right up there in one of the coolest names to say. -Ray

How can you come on this board and say that all modern era wargames suck, that you were a fan of battlefront, and then say that you think "The Movies" is a game that even rates in the same sentence as any BFC game? Talk about fluff games... And if you dont care about the first release of the new engine, why are you posting on this board? They have a newsletter here for you to subscribe to that will let you know when they have a game release that you dont think sucks. -Ray
