    Balancing the killboard

    Don't worry, 'he who laughs last, didn't get the joke' :) I thought that a stiletto was part of the female apparell. I think in the shoes department...I'll just go check a dictionary... Yeh, it's a dagger, but there's also a 'stiletto heel' which is a high heel on a shoe that tapers to an...

    Has anyone used the Mace in WC4?

    The snotty little 'no damage Colonel' and other Ajax-isms really got under my nerves. The only time I liked it was when I had to escort Ajax and Shefield (seperately). I would usually fly a Hellcat or Arrow, whatever the default was and I would come up against a cruiser which I think are worse...

    Leaving Auto Pilot

    Yeh, but you still need them on radar to get a lock...it's like in Wc4 when somehow I managed to get a radar lock on the Vesuvius about 100 000 clicks out, so just for fun, I launched the flashpak from there, since it's range is around 200 000 (I think)

    Has anyone used the Mace in WC4?

    Since Wc3 was the first WC I played I also fired off all my remaining missiles at the Victory or any other capships lying around. For some strange reason, I never really liked Ajax - it must have been the comm officer, so loved taking it out.

    Where are the arrow fans?

    Really? I don't remember! Don't forget the 386 I've got, which has only has 4MB of space! And we linked it up to our printer which had 2MB of space. Or that 'laptop' aka 'portable' - either a 186 or an 086. Can't remember...Don't know if still got it.

    Dragon Fighter

    However, usually at bad angles if you're trying to intercept. But it's fun to see your wingmen TRY to keep up, when they can't!

    Stiletto, Stiletto...I wonder what that means.

    Leaving Auto Pilot

    Wc3 and Wc4 range was about 25-30 000 I think, because IR and FF had a range over 20 000+ from memory. I wouldn't mind a couple of LRIR in UE2 because the main weapon that did anything was HS and DF, DF more than HS. Or give us some more DF. I love the instant kill thing!

    Dragon Fighter

    Don't recall photon guns, just a set of plasma and tachyon guns. If you shifted more power to engines, would the fuel recharge quicker? Also, anything with autoslide pretty much has infinite afterbuners...crank up the speed, hit autoslide and you're cruising at 1000+ kps burning no fuel...

    Balancing the killboard

    What got me was Zero, Stilleto and Maestro all getting promoted to the Wolf Pack Squadron even other pilots still had a lot higher kill scores, especially Maestro who would sometimes be lower than all the Diamondback pilots...

    Has anyone used the Mace in WC4?

    *sigh* never worked in Wc3. Leeched it, nothing happens. Gotta blow it up. I wanna play Wc4 again to play it 'Price of Entertainment' way, leeching everything. Good thing I don't have the game with all my work right now...

    I thought that BW radar systems weren't too crash hot. That the maximum range they could detect was around 20 000 clicks. And visuals are hard to get at that range as well.

    Cutscenes suck ass, reason #27

    Never thought of presing F1...Oh the possibilities...

    Has anyone used the Mace in WC4?

    What exactly is the deal with these weapons. The mace was some sort of DF? Anything extra? And the coneburst and starburst - they just exploded into bits of shrapnel on command from the pilot?

    Where are the arrow fans?

    Were they testing cloaking devices on the Victory as well??? I think that was what was good about WCP and WCSO when escorting and stuff where there were additional ships, like those from CAP. I also want to know where the Victory's escorts disappeared to. I'm sure making a run for the jump...

    Rugby Union

    Are you Australian Phil? I can't tell. a) you know a lot about AFL while b) yards? YARDS??? So, yeh. I'm undecided. Can't tell. I think that AFL actually originated from Victoria as a rival sport to rugby. One of the main reasons appears to be the more flat ground in Melbourne than...

    Has anyone used the Mace in WC4?

    I found the Starburst and Coneburst very effective weapons against Capship with flight decks. It's harder while there are still enemy fighters still around, but I test fired one on the Intrepid letting it rip as soon as the missile entired the bay. It kicked up a fair amount of damage. I also...

    Where are the arrow fans?

    Would that include Longbows? On one of the escort missions with the Victory where a Skip-missile is launched at I once flew the Longbow. Boy was it a pig compared to the Arrow for the mission, but it indeed was a lot of fun. It also looked funny to see the Victory getting escorted by 2 bombers.
