carlsson Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Hm. Now you reversed the Flying Tigers and Squadron Leaders again?!? Also McKong previously posted that he reached Squadron Leader Class 4 with 5480 pts so if Rank > Score, he goes straight behind Deteacher and we have none who ended up with Flying Tiger. I will admit though that scoring on this game has been quite more messy than one at first would think, regardless that it has been played before in the HSC a couple of times.

McKong Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I just got Blue Max Class 3 with a score of 6390. I hit all but one target, I missed one of the blue planes, on the way to the city. I then hit the three targets in the city first time, so I'm not sure I could have done much better than that, other than scoring more points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BIT 1337 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hopefully I'll get a chance to play it again before this week ends in a few days, but my best so far is 1660: Class 4 Air Cadet. I know I can do better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I thought FT was completed mission but died before landind but SL is just a regular go without completing ??? 2 hours ago, McKong said: I just got Blue Max Class 3 with a score of 6390.

Hey Blue Maxers what about skipping the first landing and seeing if you can get a class I or II ??? 1 hour ago, 8BIT 1337 said: Hopefully I'll get a chance to play it again before this week ends in a few days, but my best so far is 1660: Class 4 Air Cadet.

carlsson Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I thought both BM and SL were completed missions, but BM was more efficiently completed? I've not been close to either so I can't tell from own experience, but at least in the program binary, FLYING TIGER is listed between AIR CADET and SQUADRON LEADER which would suggest to me it means the ranks are given in that order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's right. BM and SL are completed mission, flying tiger is complete but failed to make the final landing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the source code is there, but reasonably undocumented plus that a few files may be missing so it might not be the complete source code. The link was posted earlier in this thread, start digging into the disassembly and perhaps you're done by Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have the fun of making that class 4 with a higher score. That fun of being efficient timewise, keeping the highest rank while getting the higher score. It's a challenge for sure. In the meantime, I still have the highest overall score, first as Blue Max. See if I can get that top player back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Blue Max gotta be one of the top 10 most confusing games to play in the HSC. Ordering players on score is unfair, ranking was at first unclear regarding order of ranks and still strange regarding class since RS appears to go 1-2, AC goes 4-1, FT not sure, SL and BM seem to go 1-4, and the relation between rank, class and score can be any. But at least we got a good amount of meta discussion around the game and its historic relevance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 By the way, the following came to my attention: Though by 1923 most countries had made peace treaties, Andorra was an exception. Andorra declared war on Germany in August 1914. At that time, it had an army of 600 part-time military men, commanded by two officials. Andorra had a very small population, so it never sent soldiers to the battlefield. Andorra was therefore not allowed to attend the Treaty of Versailles. The country finally concluded a peace treaty with Germany in 1958. Thus if Max Chatsworth turns out to be fighting for Andorra, the game might actually take place a good number of years after rest of the world had finished World War 2. It would explain pretty much all anomalies if it really takes place in the mid 50's... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 You play as Max Chatsworth, a bored 25 year old in 1956 who regrets he was too young to join the previous World War. Max has an obsession about life in the 1910's, and has looked up that Andorra still may be in war with Germany. He steals an old airplane one which he paints with the Andorran emblem and takes into the air, determined to bomb the crap out of the post-war split portion of West Germany. How far can you make it before the authorities have rendered him harmless? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BIT 1337 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Class 4 Squadron Leader: 3920 Took me 3 passes through the city to bomb the targets because I kept getting hit and losing mobility! On this run I mostly didn't bother bombing unless it was a target, thinking that if I had less bombs to restock I could get off runway faster. I hate getting bombed on the runway LOL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that reminds me of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick from the "Mouse that Roared". Just a tiny tiny country that waged war on the United States to loose and get lots on money to rebuild their country... and then won the war instead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
