    Oh, too bad, but will it still appear (some day)?

    BTW, thanks for lowering the price. Got the P-38 last night and is having a real blast!

    The problem is, two of my friends didn't understand the tutorial (and they are clever people with academic degrees from Ivy League schools) and used the double click method instead which is very lacking in flow and precision. One of these friends hated it so much he stopped playing. So why have this bad control option in there to confuse players and have them stop playing?

    Loving this game! I also look forward to MFi controller support. In lieu of that, I really miss a "lefty" setting. I'd like to trigger special weapons with right hand buttons, rather than having to let go of controlling my plane to move my left hand to the left side where those buttons reside now. Seems like an unfair disadvantage just for being left-handed.

    I think being knowledgeable in academia doesnt necessarily translate into having strong comprehension in gaming (print and digital are two distinct mediums after all). Gaming skills are built through empirical knowledge :)

    GiHubb,

    I have absolutely no problem with the way bombs are dropped in this game. I find it pretty precise and since you can drop with one thumb while maneuvering with the other I don't understand how it interrupts the flow? I don't find the flow interrupted in anyway. You have two options right on the screen.

    I would, however, add a reticle ahead of the fighter showing where the bomb is going to land as well as have the ability to move the special ability/attack buttons to the right side of the screen. I do think the reticle would make the bomb drops even more precise and I'm surprised the devs didn't have it in the game already. As to the buttons I keep accidentally hitting them and wasting precious gold and it makes me not purchase them.

    How would you change the bombing aspect? It's easy to say something is imprecise and interrupts the flow, but I didn't read your solution. How would you change it?

    Devs,

    Would it be feasible to add a small reticle in front of the fighter to show approximately where the bomb will land? Also I want to thank you again for lowering the price of the upgrades. I fully upgraded the P38. I love it. I'm working on the Corsair now. I still am requesting the amount of gold be increased in the survival mode. You hardly get anything and I find little reason to want to play it. Also is there a timeframe on the update that will let us move around the special attack buttons? I really can't wait to move them to the right side of the screen or all the way to the bottom or top.

    Billy

    I don't think the reticle would work for those of us using the direct control method, but I can see its use for the relative controls. I'd just ask that, if it's implemented, it could be switched on/off.

    What I would really like to see is my best score for each level on campaign, so I know which levels to work on to improve my overall score.

    Could be the best game of Jan for me

    I appreciate this game so far.
    If I may say something to this game, I would like to have a bomb button for this game:)

    Three Stars in Every Mission?

    Has anyone gotten all three stars in all the missions?
    I've hit a wall with about 15 left. A few of them seem like they'll just take some trial and error (50% of bad guys with tail gun, etc.), but some seem downright impossible. (Destroy X amount of Y, when you can't ever see that many)

    Glad to see the price go back up to $2.99. Instead of being criminally cheap, now it's just insanely cheap!

    I don't have a problem with the 2 finger method either- it works really well. All I'm saying is that my friends didn't realize it existed and opted for the imprecise double click method. If the double click method didn't exist, I'm sure my friends would have learnt to use the 2 fingers method and wouldn't quit the game.

    I'm stuck with getting the last star on level 16 the one that says destroy 100% of enemies. I have completed the level a few times with 100% enemies destroyed and don't get the achievement. Any help?

    Ever since I upgraded to IOS 9.2 from 8.4 man I keep having problems with gamecenter. Everyday I'm not getting challenges. Or like today all of the daily challenges say finished. I restarted my phone. Tried again. Nothing. I waited. Tried again. And now it just finally updated giving me new daily challenges and all my challenges are expired.

    Argh. I wish I didn't update to 9.2

    Mission #10, #16 objective "Destroy All Enemies":
    Destroy flying UFO with some super weapon / Tail Gunner, so it is destroyed very soon,
    then some more planes will spawn there and then you can complete the objective

    Feel ya on that. I only see GC once a month seems like. It's such a pathetic situation. Apple rlly and truly doesn't give a shyt. Ruined a lot of this game for me. Never completed any of AKD's challenges. Sad stuff indeed. I'm on 9.0.2.

    Thank you

    Thank you,
    eh,I play as above already,
    the reason why I want a bomb button is like this,
    - sometimes my first finger is off from the screen, and my fighter moves to the second finger's tapping point.

    ive tried this already but it doesnt always works. maybe you can tweak it more on the next update? it can be quite pain when we play a mission with a bombing as a main challenge.

    Are you sure your bomb isn't just reloading? Is it green at top center of screen when you try to drop?
