    WC4 is harder than I recall!!??

    I don't rememeber the situation about the Dragon and missile racks. How many FFs could it launch at once? Two? or Four? And... letting someone (especially when this one is a Seether) on mu tail... I have no nerves for it. Ah! Just remembered a thing. A friend of mine is using Mace to kill...

    Hellcat V gripes

    Why would I dislike Tyr mission? We aren't supposed to like or dislike them, we're supposed to fulfil them, aren't we? ;) And as for "downgrade" feeling, I assure you - it is no jest of mine. I do feel this way. WCIV Hellcat was pusposedly made weaker than WCIII'ish. Has anyone read Harry...

    Hellcat V gripes

    And to me it looks like WC-IV Hellcat is a downgrade of the one used during the war. I tell you - I can't remember a WCIII situation Hellcat couldn't handle. My guess is that "bad" version of Hellcat was created purposedly - to make us see how bad the situation is. The most cheap fighters, the...

    WC4 is harder than I recall!!??

    Me, too - couldn't kill Seether with guns. He cloaks and cloaks... But :) But :) But! He doesn't see the dumbfires :) He would evade an IR or a FF - and he easily does so. But DF ... he seems to ignore it. So - he's dead having a single DF hit. Not the easiest thing to do, I admit it. But IMHO...

    WC4 is harder than I recall!!??

    Ace setting in WCIV is something, I agree. And I must confess - "Freedom Price" is not a game you would play with a cup of coffee in one hand, and a piece of cake in the other. That ground mission the discussion started with... I do take TWO racks of leeches - for everyone seems to forget the...

    Best Possible Squadron

    And for me the Killer Bees will always be my first and my favorite squadron. Nobody would deny that at a time they were one of the most hated by the cats - during the Vega Campaign :)

    Are Kilrathi thermophiles physically?

    Anyway, an oxigen-breathing creature with biochemistry close to ours (why else could they eat humans without being poisoned?) - is very unlikely to withstand THAT HIGH temperature. 100 degrees is 100 degrees, you're boiled, no matter human or kilrathi...

    ...and again about Retros

    Hello to everyone, guys. I must admit I am stuck. (Talking of a literary roleplay game at prikl.ru forum) I do have a couple of nice players who DO WANT TO PLAY retro. And I have no info for them. So... maybe some fan-art? Some fan fiction? Some ideas? So - please please pretty...

    Carrier Beauty Contest

    The 'Claw and only her! Intrepid may be the symbol of freedom, Concordia mat be the symbol of might, but the old Tiger's Claw - she's the best and I'd stand for her no matter what. And by the way, where could we see the Austin? She's only mentioned in the WC1 - Crusade, and we never have...

    What was your first Wing Commander experience?

    In was back in the school so long ago. 6-Mzh EGA 286 PC... It was so cool, it even did have HDD. And it had "real cool" games with size of ywo or even three diskettes! :-D So we were thinking... And someone played WC1 there. We were not allowed to near the HDD-capable PC, so just stared...

    What caused the TCS Concordia's destruction

    We all have seen - it were the Strakhas who killed the Claw. It is a WC1 era - capships have no phase shields - so ten Strakhas launching two IR's each - did kill old poor Claw easily. And when attacking Concordia in WC2(or WC3) - why wouldn't they carry a torpedoes? An Epee can carry it, so...

    If you had to fly a fighter from Wc2

    You've forgotten one most important fact - Broadsword has no afterburn, while Armada's Banshee has it. There's a great differenc e between the target which can't burn at all, and the one which can burn, just is more clumsy than you are. And when enemy has burned all the fuel out - it...

    If you had to fly a fighter from Wc2

    Broadsword a coffin. Epee the coffin again. Rapier... Ewwww... :-/ Daddy, may I choose Scimitar? No? A Hornet, maybe? No? The old one Rapier - of WC1? Nope? Okay, I'll fly it. But know I despice it. Sabre? Well... I'll fly it. Good enough ship. Ferret - my choice always. Even if it is a...

    Smoothing the edges...

    https://www.wcnews.com/encyclopedia/showrecord.php?id=1507 There would be Eisen in the Encyclopedia, if the link would be correct. Captain IS MENTIONED there - as a commander of St.Helen, but then the link points to TCS EISEN... Again, he's mentioned there, as Intrepid's captain...

    Smoothing the edges...

    So....except the RF and Priv - there's no info about Retros? They're no small part of the WC Universe, and they're not mentioned in Encyclopedia? I find it hard to believe, and yet it is true - no Retros in Encyclopedia...

    By the way, can anyone point me at info about "church of man"? Any specific about them would be very useful...

    Gladius gets the bad rap...

    There are some useless ships in WC games , yes Poor Phantom... it ain't it's fault that mass drivers are not cannons but nonsense in WC Armada Poor Wraith, I'd say, for Particle Cannons are no cannons too... So those two are useless in Armada, for cannons with projectiles which are slower than...

    Most memorable wc moment

    In that case those most old in the wing would loose again and again - they can't run as fast as young Blair ;) So... pooooooooooor Paladin :-D He'd never get rid of Maniac
