    You are right.. the blue of the corsair looks... it is hard to explain. They mixed a blue which is really the most ugly blue I saw since years.

    But honest: the BF too is not really a beauty. It has this typical field brown of a soldier crawling in the mud.

    The blue is still hard to see against sea background. Corsair do have this edge in ocean or island maps. The zero or mustang white color is good in winter mountain map. The BF color is good in all maps, especially the riverbed and the plains. The spitfire red color is also good in all the maps... most players if given a choice on their aim between the red plane or the dark colored plane, will choose the latter. :D

    I created a room called "P40 only, pls!" I use the P40 of course. It doesn't take long before 1 P40 come in and killed me with rocket. I was actually trying to verify his plane and wasn't firing at him in h2h. Then this idiotic noob come in with Corsair! I easily downstroy him with P40. And the first guest also killed him with P40 and I said "Nice!". Then V come in also. Nice of him to fly in P40 too. :D

    So join in the fun in P40. And help me to look out for the player called Drew something in Corsair and keep killing him.

    great game

    Hey folks,

    Love this game. Having a ton of fun playing. love how easy it is to get in and get out of a game if I don't have alot of time.

    I like how ppl are making their own games for 'rockets only' etc.. b/c I HATE rockets in normal dogfighting. They didn't use them in WWII until late in the war and even then, it was against some ME262s and ground targets.

    But more importantly, I don't think it takes much talent using rockets.

    Use your rudder, slow down on turns and use your cannons is my advice.

    Whenever I get killed by a rocket, I put out the aargh! msg b/c I hate it.

    and then I hunt the offenders down without abandon :)

    I've only bought the red spitfire and I think for noobs, it's a great $1.99 investment. Much, much better than the P40 so if you're just using it and getting slaughtered, check out that Spit - more armour and better weapons. Makes a world of difference and adds more fun to your gaming experience.

    I think a great add on would be for bomber protection/attack for teams. Have 1 team protecting the bombers with x amount needing to survive for either minutes or to reach a target and then have the other team attacking the bombers and fighters. To be clear, no one would control the bombers - just fighters on opposing teams.

    Happy dogfighting.

    Keebler,
    Welcome to TA! U've finally found this website! But u're no greater fan than I because I have all 10 planes and I completed all missions and 100 dogfights. :D. But I have to say u're better skilled than me with your faster kill rate.

    I'm also using spitfire as my primary plane.

    Where are u from and how old are u? I'm from an ex British colony (Singapore) that's why I'm in RAF spitfire. I'm 35yrs old, married with 3 kids.

    I'm around your age from Canada - I think we just went toe to toe in a game. :)

    how did you know about my kil rate? Is there a website or something that lists scores (other than the top 10)?

    Great game we had just now. Funny that u keep saying Argh. Must have been hit by rockets. Haha.

    I just compare by the kill numbers in the ingame list. Eg I enter a room and the top player is at 30 kills. If I killed 5 planes and his kills is 40, it means he is killing 2x faster than me. Yesterday we played and your kill increase faster than mine, that's why I said your kill rate is faster. Today we both started at zero. U came in shortly after I came in. Your kill rate was initially faster than mine. Later u slowed down and I overtook you. Then we are at about the same pace maintaining 2-3 kills less than me.

    There's no other place to record this kill rate. I just compare my kill increase with others during the game. The player with extreme fast kill rate is iPod pais in Corsair. For every 1 plane I killed, he has already killed 5-6, with me always inside his victim list. Have u met him before in the game?

    ah..ok. I get it. Yup...I was 1 kill behind and then I lost it. Just couldn't get there. Was a GG though.

    And yes, the aargh is definitely b/c of the rockets. I HATE getting killed b/c of the rockets b/c it takes little skill to line up on someone and fire a rocket from far away.

    That said, rocket users are usually easy kills b/c they have to line up straight for so long, plus b/c they have rockets instead of cannons, they're not that powerful in a dogfight if once you close in :)

    Argh!!! I'm not hit by rocket but worst....my player stats reset by itself! I open the SoG and shocked there's only P40 in my hanger. And all my achievements gone. My heart missed a bit when my restore purchased failed. Lucky the 2nd try restore all my other 9 planes. But my 100 dogfights achievement was not restored.

    Funny that when I play online game, the achievement message keep coming out after I achieve somethings, as if I'm a new player.

    Shern, can you restore your ipod from backup? That wouldn't work if you had synched and backed up since the problem. Might not work anyway! But it's an idea.

    I actually paid $27 without realizing it!! Well, I bought all the planes and all the packages except the bluetooth package. Anyway, this shows how big a fan i am.

    Edit: At least I bought the Zero at $0.99 during the 3 days sales.

    Hi Keebler

    I remember you very well. Some time ago in SoG we met more than once. It was always very painful to be in the same room with you. I hated it.

    You fly e excellent h2h. terrible.:eek:

    I'm glad that you only can write in here and not shoot.

    welcome:)

    Yiaks! When I open the SoG my stats is reset again. Somethings not right with my iPhone. It reset my SoG twice in 2-3 days. Luckily the reset will not affect my score in SGN server.

    Mmm.. GN has never impressed me of his kill rate. Recently has several encounter with him in FFA and his kill rate is still slower than mine. He's playing full time on this as if he has no work or other family commitment or this is his only meaning in life. I really hope to see this person one day. Really want to ask him how he thinks about spending his entire time on this game without considering his other aspects of life.

    Or GN is really a team, not an individual. Mmm.

    Hello all,
    I just found this forum a few days ago and I decided to post as I have a few questions that I am hoping someone here can answer. First off let me say that I discovered SoG a little less than a month ago, and it is by far my favorite game on the ipod. I have also played a few games with some of you and let me say they have been fun! I actually just played Shern a few times and I am very impressed that with all your kills you just now got the 25 multiplayer bailout achievement. I'm hoping that now that I have properly introduced myself, you will be more inclined to stick around in a game I am in for more than a few minutes. Keebler, yes I have made you go ARGH! a few times, being a newb I didn't realize that using rockets are considered poor form. I have been using the cannons for a few days now, and have begun to adapt my strategy's appropriately..... I have to say though, that using them in h2h seems almost like cheating to me. I also now know what the deal is with all you (SAB) players. If I see the P40 game again, I want to play. No rockets is the rule correct?? Enough of the introduction: on to my question. Last night something weird happed to me. I entered a game with a tan and gray camouflage Corsair. Unfortunately I didn't get to play with it very long as that GN-000 fellow was in the game and nailed me straight off. When I came back I was in my normal Corsair again. My question is, was this a glitch or did this have something to do with that unlock 18 planes achievement. Speaking of which how do you do that? I have purchased everything possible in this game, and I have unlocked every achievement I believe accept for 5 godlikes in a row. If this wasn't a glitch, does anyone know how I can get that plane back? I WANT IT BACK!!!!! :)

    Thanks,

    Sean

    lol thanks very much mosquito! I never realized I could invoke pain and fear although, thankfully, it's just a game :)

    I love WWII combat games. Loved BOB and the MS versions.
    I really like SOG...fantastic game. It's really the only game I play.

    Shern, GN is likely a teenager or maybe someone who lost their job. It's nothing against them at all - it's the only way I figure he gets to play so often.

    I try, but it's tough working from home and looking after the kids (who love to watch me play :)

    As for the kill rate - thanks. Something just clicked for me where I've really figured out how to nail people - probably from playing so much.

    I still hate the rockets though. Such a lack of talent using them. Last game we played, I saw a rocket plane going after you (forget the name) and instead of going after you, I completely went after that plane 3 straight times (all kills of course) :)

    tally hoe!
    :)
