Yeah, and again a victim of WC3 being ahead of it's time. Look at the amount of recorded dialogue in games these days (Mass Effect comes to mind) compared to the WC series. And I use "these days" loosely. Mass Effect came out in 2007! Will it really be (in one more year) 10 years since ME3...

The unwanted stepchild of the mainline series. But there were some good things about "Wing Commander 5". You got the simulator back you had an actual Interceptor fighter that made sense (but ugly as sin) with the Wasp, Panther, and Vampire you had unique characteristics to make them feel...

I appreciate the effort! One option would be to allow the player to do Speardon and then Circe, but that would be more in the purview of a remake. I recall at least one mission where you could not use the Bearcat when you should have been able to; Speradon - Capture Fighters. The excuse was it...

Thunderbolt VII (WC3 engine) 2 Plasma Guns (67 damage, 44 energy consumption, 0.5 refire delay, 1200kps velocity, 2.5 sec duration, 3000 range) 2 Photon Guns (32 damage, 30 energy consumption, 0.45 refire delay, 1800kps velocity, 2.5 sec duration, 4500 range) 2 Meson (35 damage, 16 energy...

Excalibur (WC3 engine) 4 Tachyon Guns (70 damage, 40 energy consumption, 0.35 refire delay, 1600kps velocity, 2 sec duration, range of 3200) 2 "Reaper" Cannon (35 damage, 35 energy consumption, 0.23 refire delay, 1800kps velocity, 2.5 sec duration, 4200 range) Damage per salvo: 350 damage, 230...

Great! @Howard Day, I only became aware of Wing Leader a couple of days ago! Keep fighting the good fight. It looks terrific!

If these games were made now, we would get a lot more dialogue that would allow for real character development. There was a missed opportunity to juxtapose Flash vs. Maniac in WC3. Flash is on his way to being the new Maniac, but Blair's influence sets him on the right path. I quite like Josh...

I hate that the Bearcat can only be used in one mission before the Dragon becomes available.

The Excalibur is my fav, followed by the Thunderbolt. You have to remember the game engine you are using. If ported into WC3 the Raptor would not stand up - but was great for it's time! Actually pretty good! ;) Let's take a look! Raptor (WC3 engine) Loadout 2 Mass Drivers (45 damage, 12...

Kind of like Rise of Skywalker vs. The Last Jedi, hmmmm? Roberts had a conflicting vision (perhaps) then the guys who worked on WC2? A lot criticism of WC3 - but I think it was constrained by being the first time they tried the interactive movie thing. It remains my personal favourite, even...

Definitely agree with this. I like how he slowly warms up to Blair too - quite realistic. "Kick that little twerps ass" narrowly edges out "God, I love that boy's spunk" for Favourite Eisen Line for me! It still makes me smile all these years later! It comes out of nowhere, because Eisen has...

Overall, I really like the Dragon - but the wings always looked out of place. Too Kilrathi-like.

Black Lance Dragon next please!

Re: WC4. I think the game actually works better if you don't initially defect with Vagabond, Eisen, and Maniac. This lets you really see the evil that is creeping into Confed. I don't think you have enough reason or seen enough evidence to defect at the first opportunity. However, that leads to...

The Catscratch/Sosa romance (that happens in what, a period of 10 days?) is not very convincing either! But I think Blair is around 42 in WC4 and Sosa is meant to be around 27. What is the rule as the older man? Divide your age in half and add 7 years? So I think Blair is in the clear (but...

Do it! And yes, some of the FMV shows the Hellcat also has guns on the sides of the main fuselage, in addition to the 4 mounted in the belly. As an aside, the belly weapons bay looks to be modular in nature - easy to swap out different weapons configurations.

Yeah! The Bearcat already has smart guns like the Excalibur and Dragon so...

Glad you have better game mechanics! I love WC, but deflection shooting was always much more difficult then in, say, the X-Wing series due to the controls being a little wonky.

I was half jesting! :)The Bearcat is awesome but the placement of the guns on the wingtips is terrible - you can't hit anything!
