Intelligentleman Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Do you guys try to fly as low as possible to the trench when the targets are about to appear? That's the only way I can get the timing right to hit those things. And if my early warning system goes down, that's an insta-reset for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fly in circular motion starting high and slowly lowering... while shooting when I think I'm lined up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think the skeet target is coming, I hover on that kite handle like a chicken on an egg. 50% chance I hit it and I have to reset... but the closer the better... YES!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligentleman Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) i wish there was some way to anticipate those targets aside from the audio clue... if that thing goes, you're basically flying blind. Unless... do the targets always come at the same time interval? Maybe we could try to keep a mental note of how much time has elapsed since the last target. EDIT: Not that this would be a "fun" way to play, but... Edited September 15, 2020 by Intelligentleman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Not that this would be a "fun" way to play, but... That’s the part that I hate about this game. I notice that when I compete my tasks sooner, I wait and wait for the target to come... the game is trying to reduce my score. If I complete my tasks slowly, the target comes immediately. if you throw 100 m&m’s into the air and try to catch them in a hat.... that’s Star Strike. it’s 50% skill and 50% luck. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, what tasks are you talking about? You mean, blasting those two ships (or balloons, lol)? That's the only thing there is to do besides bomb those targets, right? A lot of times, the ships get away from me because I'm not willing to chase them very far from the trench. I mainly fly up and down like a crazy person until the ships are in front of me and therefore harmless. Then I go back to waiting for the ground target if it hasn't already come.

Just shoot as many ships as possible and bomb the targets. There isn't anything else to do in the game, but master those 2 things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I was thinking you could score more points by extending the game; i.e. not bombing all the targets right away. If you gain more point shooting enemy ships than you lose on the clock that would be the case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 You have to leave at least one target or else the game ends. If you leave them all to the end, the game goes the longest. You lose the most score on the clock but you also have more to time to shoot enemy ships. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
