mimo Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 7090, should have been more but I decided to try and put the CF card back into my camera whilst on the runway, misjudged the timing and didn't get to the joystick in time and to top it, I missed the picture anyway 'cus I was still struggling with the CF card after the crash:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB Positive Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 No screenshot but after five attempts... 200 pts. This is not my best game, clearly. I think I'll wait to boost my score on next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed at that... because I did something similar. Anyway, on to more misfortune.... I finished bombing all the targets in the city, so I decided once again to attempt to bomb the big buildings, with the following result: Edited March 18, 2010 by Mr.Amiga500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Amiga500 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Finally... a better rating: Class 1 Squadron Leader, but a crap 9790 This run was weird because I got the flashing L after just three runways and 4750 points! Usually I don't get that until 7000. On one run, I didn't get the flashing L until 10650. Bombing seems to be much more important than shooting. I was going crazy killing enemy planes, trucks, boats and hitting all targets, but it looks like you're just supposed to bomb as many buildings as possible.

atariksi Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 looks that way, but I did go to work honest, just work strange hours:) You did good. I usually get bombed on the runway after reaching around 5,000. And seems you can't really do anything about that since if you take off early then you have a crippled aircraft that would have a hard time landing next time or even getting to a runway. One funny thing though on the runway, they fuel up the aircraft before they fix the leak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariksi Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 It's true what Amiga500 said that you can crash land. I had FBGM and 5th shot turned the plane to black and I landed on runway safely and was able to take off after repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One funny thing though on the runway, they fuel up the aircraft before they fix the leak! If you fly up (diagonally) you can land on the runway earlier and then have more time to see the enemy planes approaching... if you have a dodgy joystick (like me) be careful not to plumet into the terra firma if you don't get into the diagonal No screenshot but after five attempts... 200 pts. This is not my best game, clearly. I think I'll wait to boost my score on next round. C'mon ABP just reverse the controls, get airborne and just bomb stuff! Surely you don't want to be known as the Kamikazee Trainee for the rest of the season Way to go Preppie I've been playing but no improvement... another attempt later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a good joystick helps-- I crashed a few times because altitude went to 1 and then crashed getting it to 0 or too late to land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Amiga500 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 This just isn't fair. Things were going great. I only missed one building in the city, then landed to get ready for a record score. An enemy plane then came and bombed my hangar and a bit of the runway. It seems normally you can drive over bomb damage, but not if it has a bit of green around it like the one here. I could only helplessly watch it and say, "Ah f--- it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
