WHats your most difficult Wing Commander?

[Darlon]

Mine would have to be WC 2.

 

[Starkey]

I voted for WC1, but I´m counting the add-ons as part of each game. SM2 was TOUGH - if you choose to fight and never run away.

 

[Viper61]

WC4 on anything higher than Ace is tough, Nightmare is as near to impossible as WC comes.

C-ya

 

[Tarquinn]

Yep, WC4 it is.

 

[Aries]

number 1 because of that goddamn "save the ralari" mission!

 

[Phillip Tanaka]

I'd have to go wth The Price of Freedom. Wing Commander I find can be somewhat inonsistant, like sometimes I find it easy, sometimes hard. Vengence of the Kilrathi I made do even though it played at ten times the speed, so I think that wouldn't be too hard. Heart of the Tiger I can nearly beat on Nightmare. The Price of Freedom however I found was consistantly hard from start to finish. I also vote this because there are some scenes that are a little hard to stomache. The Telemon massecre for example. I'm surprised that they didn't have someone throw up there.

 

[overmortal]

I handled the Telamon scene without a problem. And I beat wc4 on nightmare. The only thing that gets me is when all of those idiots drop missiles at once. Five missiles can be hard to outfly. But, I still beat it.

Anything less than 'crazy' is for pussies.

WC1 had some xtremely hard missions, but overall it would definitely be WC4 if played on Nightmare. Unknown Enemy is missing in that list however That one would probably rank #2 for me

 

[TopGun]

WC I, since it was my first WC Game

 

[Benjamin]

I'd say Wing One. Some of those missions were pretty tough. Missions in SM1 and 2 were even worse, flying that stupid Drathi springs to mind...

 

[Ripper]

Stupid Prophecy. Mostly due to computer limitations. Having to do missions over and over again because the stupid computer kept lokcing up.

Oh come one - the Dralthi was great. My second fighter after the Rapier. Flying right between the shots of a Yalthi was priceless
Just don't attack ships you aren't supposed to attack ;-)

 

[AdmiralHuang]

Privateer had some tough moments, but Unknown Enemy was tough. A Scimitar is not exactly the jewel of the fleet.

 

[overmortal]

I still haven't played UE. As soon as I get a computer that's worth something, I will, though!

had to correct the spelling.

 

[Sycorax]

The WC2 mission where you had to kill two Dorkirs with Stingray took me about 8 million tries to get both before they jumped. Plus the WC1 expansion "save the Ralari" mission was difficult, but mostly because of having to play it so choppy on my Pentium 90.

 

[Wedge009]

The infamous "Save the Ralari" mission was in the original WC1 campaign, not the add-ons.

I can't really say any game was particularly harder than another, though.

 

[Sycorax]

Oops, my bad. It's been a while. The game/expansion combos always seem to run together in my head.

 

[overmortal]

I seem to remember having a hard time kicking the shit out of a half-dozen Gothri in a Crossbow. I hated the Crossbow. Guns regenerated too slowly . . even if you hit with your full capacitors, that Gothri wasn't going down in one volley. Then you had to dodge their shit while your capacitors recharged. Hated that mission. Beat it, but hated it.

 

[Wedge009]

Mmm, yeah, Gothris were the new 'tough' ships of the WC2 era for the Kilrathi. And the Crossbow only gave three salvos on full guns before the capacitors ran dry.
