Hmmm, tried it in DOS and Win. Comes up with "that is not a valid series number." Help!

The Fw-190 had about 4 or 5 variants before the war ended. The newest variants almost could compare to the Spit. The Me-262 was the most capable fighter in the war, problem was Germany was running very low on pilots. Very rarely did more than 2 Me-262s fly together. The P-51s (Mustangs) would...

There was a great Polish ace who flew in WWII for the Poles and then for the Brits. Skalski, was his name IIRC. He became one of the best Allied pilots in the war. Kobayashi (sp?), Galland, and Hartmann are probably the best in my opinion. I think the Axis had much better pilots.

I really don't think that it would have been possible to take the U.S. We are just way too big. Japan and Germany combined don't have the manpower to rule over such a large area (Canada would have to be taken too). I just think they would start to run out of soldiers. Italy had already conceded...

mpanty: Don't see any .com files in my Wing 2 section. Can you send it to me? Also, does it work for WC1? Thanks a lot :) email: bsstarkweather@hotmail.com

Well I have the downloaded version for KS. My .exe for WC2 files are: wing2.exe, wc2.exe, so1.exe, so2.exe

I just looked through my WC2 files and didn't see it. Is it somewhere else?

With Kilrathi Saga? Then how do I use/access it? Sorry, this is mission selector thing is something I didn't know about until now, and I have been playing since WC1.

Mission selector program? Wha? Fill me in Wedge. ;)

Two in the Scimitar, along with 3 heaters. Speaking of the good old Scimitar, I thought that her missile compliment really made her into a real fighter. The Scimitar is my favorite "unpopular" fighter. Almost always make it back in one of those, can't say that about a Rapier.

Not to brag, but I haven't ever had problems with any mission in SO2. That explains why I never saw them. I think SO1 was more difficult. The only difficult mission in SO2 was the one with the two Fraltha while you are in a Morningstar. And only because you have to be perfect with the Mase and...

Yeah I know about cloaking in the trench, but I guess I never tried to recloak in space. Thanks for letting me know. Still kinda fun though to pop out of nowhere and blast the heir to the Kilrathi throne :). Also, you don't get new missiles or fuel when you change settings. It is really annoying...

A nice use for missiles in WC1: Knock down a Jalthi's rear shields and maybe another salvo of guns. Then fire any missile at its engines. BOOM! Interesting though, this tactic doesn't work with a Krant or Gratha (at least from what I have experienced ;)).

[/B] AHA! But so does Thrakhath!! Hence if you kill Hobbes before, you don't have to fight Thrakhath at the end either: you just select salvo of missiles, uncloak behind him, and drop the gifts... :) Of course, that's highly cowardly... [/B] Well you can recloak, if I remember. Rinse...

Speaking of the novel, it was written after the game, correct? If so, why is it so different from the game? I mean, half the details have changed :) P.S. mpanty- What I meant was what bw_dave said. I was referring to the fact that chasing Hobbes causes the death of Vaquero and that it is...

I can't seem to remember Mandarin Broadswords either. I remember Sabres in SO2, and Ferrets and Epees in SO1 (although they were pirates). I would be very surprised to find out about enemy Broadswords.

It has all to do with killing Hobbes early ;) Lose Vaquero- a good wingman, better than Maniac and Flash- and you end up low on wingman like I said. A pair of FF's or IMREC's takes care of Hobbes nicely. You would only have to face one, because the other would die as soon as you decloaked...

Well, I am not Marcml30, but if you do that, you start to run low on wingman. The only ones left are Vagabond, Flash, Maniac, and Flint. If you choose Rachel, then there are only three. Its hard to keep them all alive on the higher difficulty setting until the final mission. [Edited by Hobbie...

Yeah, that scene was pretty amusing the first time I saw it. Its even better if you join the Border Worlds later, rather than sooner. (that way you know Seether is a jackass better)

Hmm, I thought the cutscene of Bearcats being made was cooler than the tank one. But they are probably two of the best cutscenes in the game. (gotta love the intro, however:)) Also, I never figured out why you would need that torp, isn't on a patrol mission?
