First player with TWO pilots over 300 kills AND over 20,000 xp? That would be me. :cool: Would have been three if my pilot Mack hadn't gotten himself killed -tornado

I flew a mission lastnight, didn't expect to get 3 kills against human opponents. That resulted in in my set having total xp of 608, 8 points over the limit :-( Bad, very Bad. I might have one other set ready by Saturday - maybe. I am starting to think that deleting a set of pilots is the only way to go. That also is Bad, very Bad. But at least now I have a couple of sets I wouldn't mind deleting if I had to [ January 27, 2006, 08:01 AM: Message edited by: tornado ]

I have yet to have any of my IMS cards converted to IMS:D when flying aircraft with Heavy Cannon- granted I only have 2 or 3 but I have flown several missions.

LOL - glad you have such faith in us, Brain

Aaaagggghhhh! Another hang - turn 3 this time. Waiting on an enemy AI to discard. That's 4 kills I've lost in a matter of 15 minutes to game hangs!!!!!

Well, I just had a game game up on me in turn one, waiting for the AI to discard. Thus far I haven't had a hang up on altitude changes only discards. I'll try again, perhaps I started this game just before the server update?

In a battle lastnight the enemy AI Wingman also fired 2 IMS2:D card at one of my pilots - luckily evaded both. I thought the Wingmen were supposed to only have 1 Destroyed card as well. Then the AI leader played an IMS2:D and ace combo to finish me off. I think my battle was with the Me-109k as well. I had read the posts on here that some thought the card was appearing too often - I didn't think so until after that battle.

Thanks for your efforts, Brain. I'm sure you'll get it worked out.

All of mine are, yes.

Both are excellent suggestions IMHO.

Actually none of my kills came from demo - all are from full version. My old pilot "Tornado Tom" (with quotes) wouldn't work online when I got the full version. Brain said the quotation marks were blowing up the system I can't remember if Charlie existed then, but I know Mack didn't. Just to let you know :cool:

Hello Saint, interesting experience you had. I disagree with this part of your post. Even folks who have had the game for a long time usually have at least a few low level pilots. I know that I don't mind playing with a newbie (unless I find out they are a pirate), and I know several other "old-timers" that play with newbies as well. You should know that I play with/against rookies since I've played with you I also think a friends list is a good idea. I mentioned it several times this weekend while playing online (the first time on Saturday, when about 34 people were logged on!) I look for the community to continue to grow. My best advice to a newbie (which I was not too terribly long ago- I've had the game about 2 months) is to dive right into online games, ask questions when you have them, and have FUN! If not for Sixxkiller, Mistura, and Stalin's Organist I would have given up on the game within the first week, because I had no clue what I was doing. I asked questions while playing and they answered them. In closing - the players are very helpful, and the Designer/Programmers are the most helpful you could find anywhere.

To be honest, I can't tell much, if any, difference in the Wingmen with my Medium to High level pilots. It is at the lower levels that I do see the difference in the number of attack cards played by them.

Is that such a bad thing? I don't think so. Just my opinion. Also, while I do not agree with lakespeed that Escort missions are hopeless, I do have to say that they are MUCH more challenging.

It happens with me at the Discard stage for the bot - happened several times and always, always at discard.

I enjoyed playing against you earlier this weekend, Skuderian. We'll have to do it again sometime. It's nice that you have 300 kills. Congrats. Just letting you know that I have TWO pilots right behind you in the number of kills, and I think I am the only person to have THREE pilots (still active) with over 200 kills

Interesting!

That is hilarious!

Hey BvB - glad someone is addressing my question! Only one problem, you didn't have any answers

This soinds like the problem I posted here in the forum back in November/early December. I haven't had any problems as of late though.

I am STILL concerned for his safety - his head can get inflated only so much before an explosion! :cool:

First, Stalin asked a very good question (for once ) - is this a one day event? If so, are there breaks between battles? Secondly, these are NOT new pilots to be created, correct? Third, I need a partner Lastly, when you say points - you do mean points showing when you create an online game - not cumulative xp, right? I would also like to point out that there can be a LARGE point change for a set of pilots based on the aircraft they chose. Example: Leader & Wingman in Hurr II - total points=580. Same pilots in Spit V - total points=472. I assume that means this particular set of pilots could fly a Spit V and buy several cards as long as total points did not exceed 600. Is my assumption correct? [ January 19, 2006, 08:43 PM: Message edited by: tornado ]

My only request is that you make them downloadable rather than the only choice being a CD shipped via mail. Yes, we are always wanting something.

My first thought when I read "esxpansion packs" was Yikes- more money. But as BvB pointed out - should certainly help you guys generate additional revenue. A good thing for you guys and for the game itself.

Thanks, guys.
