Well, that mission you're talking about is especially difficult. Don't expect victory no matter what tactics you get advised. Anyway, use your navmap (N I believe or cntl-N) to target the Sartha/Drakhri that are specifically targetting the Broadswords. And pray.

Yea my friend has a thing for the Saga versions, but I myself prefer the DOS originals. Call me old school. Plus I tend to have problems running WC2 KS with XP, whereas my DOS copy runs flawlessly. I play WC3 with the Kilrathi Saga though because it takes too much power to run that one via DosBox...

Saga is another WC project that's been in development for a long time now. It uses the Freespace 2 engine. I'm surprised you haven't heard of it. Their storyline covers the WC3 era and to my knowledge details the specific battle you referred to in your initial post. Find them here...

Can't you try and order a new copy? Or do they not ship to Germany? My condolensces though, that's really a bummer.

https://www.wcnews.com/news/update/3358 I've been searching the CIC archive and came upon this 2001 bug report from my long time friend Tecoflager. Since I've never seen it mentioned again (and because I think it's so hilarious) I've decided to resurrect it for the new people so they can...

It's just not the same though. You can't fire the T-Bomb into a group of corvettes and watch them explode. Oh the hours of endless Morningstar entertainment... Morningstar Nuke > T-Bomb.

You...are...a... GOD! :eek:

Me too. But a Wing Commander MMO would be awesome somewhere down the road... I would -so- join the Kilrathi though. See that'd be fun. Maybe in 10 years it'll be here and I'll be blasting you CIC punks in your puny Rapiers with my Dralthi! Mwa ha ha ha! *flees*

You'll be happy to know though that the engagement you're referring to, in the Hyperion System, is going to occur in WC Saga. At least that's the way I understand it. You Standoff guys have done such a great job creating the Battle of Terra for the community though, your retirement will be...

The Drake had been destroyed when I experienced that bug also. I never tried it with the Drake because, well, I was never able to save it. So yes, the Drake definately could have something to do with it and it's good that we're narrowing down variables for you all.

I think for the -most part- the acting is solid but I do not like Freddie as Blair at all. I mean at all. I hate the way he trots around the movie with his mouth gaped open and a dumb look in his eyes. The big problem is the script though. The movie just doesn't flow very well, none of the...

Meh, in my opinion WC2 is the prettiest of the trilogy. I just love the way things look in that game. Especially when things explode.

Is that the one where the Firekka gets ambushed by the Ralatha at the end? Because that's the one I was referring to when I said it was unwinnable. I made a thread about it a few months ago. http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=20198. I'm going to replay the losing path of episode 3 soon...

Gotta agree there, I always loved the Raptor in WC1. I think the Rapier is better, but I like the Raptor more if you understand my meaning. About collisions... eh, they were annoying yes. And you did have to be very careful. Even at cruising speed there were times that the Kilrathi would just...

Only way I ever lost that final Ep 2 mission was intentionally. Now I do it all the time just because I like the Sirius missions better in Episode 3. Don't get me wrong I love the Warsaw Battle. It's just that the notion of a carrier alone in spave and being pursued by a battlegroup... rocks...

Yea I can't think of any other game which has even touched Wing Commander's atmosphere. I think that the closest in Freespace 2, which in my opinion is -the- masterpiece of the space genre... but in terms of atmosphere it is far inferior to Wing Commander. WC is the only game I've played that...

Eh, Thrakhath is not so hot either. They're better than the normal AI pilots but the fact of the matter is that if you have enough flight experience with WC2 you'll have no trouble beating -any- of them. I am embarassed to admit though that Thrakhath gives me a much harder time in WC3. Last...

Yea I really don't care to use the navmap. I only ever use it on the defense missions that are really hard. I used it extensively in that near impossible UE mission (at the space station) and on the one time I beat the Ralatha/Snakeir bombing mission in Standoff ep 3. The only reason I used it...

Shot in the dark because I have yet to play WC4 on the PC, but maybe it has to do with your difficulty setting?

The mission you're referring to in UE is that big defense one where you have to keep shuttling back and forth between several waypoints and you even have to rearm at one point right? If so I heartily agree with you, that is the hardest mission in UE and one of the toughest in WC history. As...
