WC3 - Wingman behaviours KS vs DOS (GOG/Enhanced)

[macleod2024]

Hi all.

Is there a difference between the wingman behaviour in the two versions?

I have both but I've installed the GOG version for now just because I have all of them in a bundle I bought years ago. I've installed the enhancements (GOG to KS patch, WC3 enhanced and the HD movies).

I feel like the GOG version wingmen are way too highly skilled. It also feels liike some of the early enemy fighters are way too easy to kill hence why the wingmen can just blitz through them. I've tried upping the difficulty in the GOG version but it hasn't made any difference other than I die far quicker.

I played the KS edition for many years and it feels like there is a huge difference. However it's been a while since I played it so I could just be not remembering it correctly.

First time I hear this , and back in the Day I Finished WC3 -DOS and Kilrathi Saga Back to back and didnt notice anything .
I dont think they changed anything to the game , just made it Windows Compatible just like the patch Kilrathi Saga contained for WC4- Dos to windows

Well, they modifed at least a little bit of code and caused differences that way.
For example, I grew up with the Mac version of WC3, which was based on the KS one. Both share an interesting math bug that causes your final approach to the Victory at the end of the mission to be upside down. A bug not present in the DOS version, at least not in the brief time I played it (gosh, the DOS-variants of the sounds and music are unbearable 😋 if you come from KS/Mac).

However, I do feel that my Wingmen were very competent in KS/Mac too, especially Hobbes in those first missions just slays unless you play competitively as well.
