Schugger Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 anyway, just want to say that I enjoy the game immensely and I am just playing the Demo. Started with playing local games, created a few pilots and those poor boys soon found out that staying on the ground would have been a much better choice. Even those few who survived their first missions by some miracle, faced overwhelming odds when they finally reached the 100 EP cap and were put against the killing bots from hell. Just now, after having played local games for almost a week, I just found out that I could play campaign games. Boy, this is excellent stuff! While I wait for the game arriving at my mailbox (beware of interceptors!), I'llwrite up a small review on a german games forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbert Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Glad to hear you're enjoying the game. Any positive word of mouth is also much appreciated. I'm sure there are guys here and online who can give you a few tips on how to deal with the "bots from hell". Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixxkiller Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Dont play a Sixxkiller Squadron pilot as they are the best EVER!!!! They will shoot you down in 7 turns!!!! Be afraid Be VERY AFRAID. -Ray PS My tagline in no way endorses the above statement and no matter how many coronas I have had tonight shouldn't affect the fear that should be bestowed upon you.

Schugger Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 Wrote up my review here It is in german, but hey! I just hope it'll issue some replies. @bartbert: After having send dozends of pilots to no return recon missions, I 've found out that checking the Manual for upcoming pilots (i.e.: the forum) is not a bad idea at all. Sometimes my 100XP pilots hold their ground exceptionally well with starting at low altitude and then going after the wingmen first. @MantaRay:Seventh game turn is usually my strongest one: sweeping the bits and pieces of the past hero and hitting the "create new pilot" button. Just wait until I get the full game and I'll show you how to dive past very low - with style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuroi neko Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Pretty good review as far as my pretty rusty German allows me to understand it Just one thing: you say the game is only available from the USA, but there is also shipping from Ireland. As far as I can tell, delivery delay in an EU country should be between half a week and 2 weeks (was 8 days to France in my case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixxkiller Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Schugger, Greetings, I read the review, understood 4 words, and will have to take a frenchmans word on the contents (Kuroi is the frenchman I am refering to.) Wait till you get the full game my friend, all that demo tactics stuff will have to be forgotten against the bots! Finding the Very Very Low Altitude is something of an exact science that all skill lvls of players can do equally!!! I do suggest you play the campaign from the demo. The tactical choices keep you on your toes and playing god in sending your poor pilot who is fatigued into the teeth of the enemy makes for some head smacking moments! The more I get into the campaigns, the less I am starting to care about the ladder dogfights. They are truly not the same game twice, and the AI isnt always a pushover even when equal in skills. Daylight 44 is like a game all by itself, and I am hoping they will make a mega campaign that goes far beyond the current version of Daylight. And since you are German you can't unlock the 7th turn, only Californians with 2 DIF squadrons can my friend. But I will show you if you defect with a Me-262 and fly it to my house. I will need a suitable hangar also, so you had better be saving your euros!!! Malibu is the far opposite of cheap. -Ray Originally posted by Schugger: Wrote up my review here It is in german, but hey!

Schugger Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Well kuroi neko, I really mised that you can order the game in europe, I just hope that this is not a big deal. I have been told in my sales confirmation mail that shipping to western europe will take 3 to 10 buisiness days, which is not much of a difference (if at all) to the eight days it took for your order to arrive. I am glad that you liked my review, but I think that this forum is eventually a bit to general (it belongs to Germany's largest PC mag). A review at a more dedicated forum for strategy games would be more helpful, I guess. MantaRay, I keep my fingers crossed that my copy will arrive at the end of the the next week. I have played Dunkirque but I got a fatal error message after I have finished turn 3: Fatal Error 0001..Schugger won..no valid parameter..game will self destruct And since you are German you can't unlock the 7th turn, only Californians with 2 DIF squadrons can my friend. Woot?!? 'Tis gamey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixxkiller Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Might be gamey but if you dont hurry up and send the hangar I will be forced to entertain other offers! -Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Schugger, wir haben zwei Lagerhäuser - eines in USA, und das zweite in Irland, wodurch sich die vergleichbaren Versandzeiten auf beiden Kontenten erklären. (Leider sind durch den höheren Euro die Versandkosten in Europe etwas höher...) Gruss, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schugger Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Moon, my copy arrived today and was sent (according to the postal stamp) from Ireland. My order was confirmed om 25th Otober and, considering that their was a weekend and All Saints Day between it, I think the delivery was quite fast. Thus, I am just a happy Schug.
