demoss

Just curious - weren't the Italians heavily involved in the Malta campaigns?

I still get lots of lost connections too - primarily when after entering a game, it doesn't start quickly, or if I try to host a game for another player. This is with the (gold) demo still, but I'm not buying if it doesn't get fixed.

I've noticed a few times now that when the AI decides to attack a wingman and needs to play Maneuvering/Half Loop cards, it will play to get one more burst than it needs. I suspect that's a simple thing to fix.

Any word on improvements to how networking is handled?

I've seen that too - those mutants are worth their weight in gold right now.

I hope you're not planning on taking wooden planes to a scrap metal piling contest

I just had an odd situation come up. One of my pilots shot down two enemy planes, then died at the end of the fight. In the final scoring, my side got hammered because we got NO points for his victories (being dead, he got 0 XP). This does NOT seem right.

Though this is true, it's also true that identifying anything that might cause obvious fanatics such as Skuderian to NOT buy it is presumably worthwhile to the company. Connection lost issues appear to be a big deal to a number of people, myself included.

Personally, I think having the AI take over is almost punishment enough. For some, though, that might be an improvement, so just gaining no benefit from whatever happens is good enough in my opinion.

Hear, hear. I'm unlikely to buy the full version if this isn't fixed. The reliability of the connections, that is. I am completely unable to host a multiplayer, and I drop connection if a game doesn't start within about 10-15 seconds after I join it.

Yes, the point is that many of us feel it's far too harsh.

So it's using a single deck? For what it's worth, I got two IMS 2:D in the same hand today, so either there's a bug somewhere in the demo or you've added one from the card game.

That's why you buy Power Dive.

This seems rather harsh - I know I've lost a good leader that way, in spite of the fact that he had passed his bailout check before I disconnected, and another because the game didn't start properly. Wouldn't it be fairer for a bot to take over the position?

Oh, one other thing - if you're gearing your hand toward OFFENSE, sometimes one barrel roll and one tight turn is better than two of either. That way you can respond to either one. Not always, but sometimes. Especially true when your opponent is low on cards.
