Was one of you flying around in disquise this morning going by the name of "Gruberneck"??? Keebler??? If it wasn't one of you has anybody seen this guy around? He ran off GN-0000 in a hurry!
not I. I use the fear of my name to put opponents off of their game! LOL j/kg. honestly, i'll never play as anyone else. always me. i got gruberneck a few times before I had to leave. was a fun game. shern was there too. good times.
OK well you are Keebler Kruger and you do have the fear thing going for ya, so I didn't think it was really you! I just had never seen gruberneck before... he's good!
Keebler, Sooo Sorry. I didn't mean to hit u. That FFA room that u entered is a really tough room. There's V, Capt Fear, Boshe, Vicky boxx, and other veterans I can't remember the name now. And your entry make it even tougher. I was actually following behind u, your blue Corsair. But I have no intention to hit u. I just want to see which target u're going after and to compete with u on that target. Then someone start hitting me and I have to veer away. Then much later in the fast pace of the dogfights a message read that I killed you. I really not sure what have happened. I was kinda shocked and oops. Must be stray bullets from mine as I like to tap tap my buttons to spray around my rounds like a mad man.
I'm not sure if it matters where a plane gets hit, in terms of the damage it receives. I've often wondered that myself. As for losing maneuverability when you are damaged, I didn't used to notice it. Now I do. I heard others speak of it and thought, "Hmm, I don't seem to lose too much maneuverability when I'm damaged." But then I played some of the dogfights and definitely noticed that in the dogfight scenarios my plane felt like a total dog once it had received pretty heavy damage. After that, flying in multiplayer arenas my plane feels like a dog once it gets damaged. If this observation is actually true, it could be that those who have not flown the dogfight levels would not experience this bummer of loss of mobility when their plane is damaged. It could be a bug, which might affect everyone or just some people, or it could be my imagination. But I most certainly do lose maneuverability now when I am heavily damaged. Once damaged, I can see that my rudder barely moves when I press the pedals. I can see physical damage to my wing, too. I don't think they have a lot of special graphics for damaged planes; it always is my left wing that gets torn apart. I fly the Corsair mainly, and haven't made such observations on the other planes. I wonder if they show their damage in the same way (broken left wing).
Orion, Sooooo sorry for hitting u. I didn't mean to do that. After exiting that tough FFA room I mentioned above, I have finally found my favorite TP room (i forgot the name now). It's a TP room that earlier today I had lots of easy kills from noobs. I do not have the habit of checking the listwhen i first entered a room because i used to get killed this way. When i first entered the TP room, right away they are 2 enemies in front of me, close and slow...like meals prepared for my personal consumption. I killed one of them and tried to kill the other. Then another enemy slide in between me and my target and I just blast my MG all the way knowing one of them will be killed. I did not see the name clearly as they are smoke covering the names. Then the message read I killed [SAB] Orion. I was dumbfounded, shocked and oops oops. I keep pressing Ouch to say I'm sorry. then I check the list and found Orion is indeed in the opposite team. Then i quit and tried entering again but still on opposite team.
After I killed Keebler and then in next room I killed Orion, both by accidents, I went to another TP room. This time I checked the list first while I move my plane about to avoid being hit. Then I saw I'm on the same team as [SAB] Handy. Who is this? Anyone knows? He's good. We're taking turns to take the lead. But have to admit all the other players in the room are noobs in P40.
That's OK I was trying to take one of those kills away from you as I had lined up on one of those guys and had opened fire! I was in front of that guy who slid in between you I think and when you took him out I was just in the way. I thought perhaps I might have accidentally dinged you as those cannons aren't very precise weapons. Serves me right for trying to take away a kill from ya
Whatcha worried about killing Keebler for! He hasn't joined yet... he's still fair game! Just don't hit him with rockets or do anything to really piss him off, cause then he's just going to kick your ass! Which he does sooooo well!
iPod Exchange Unfortunately I had to exchange my iPod touch that I have had for over a year due to having quite a bit of dust under the glass. This means all my stats are erased. I thought they might be restored with my purchases but that's not the case. I don't have to much time to play anymore but I'll work on it when I can. have fun everyone. any word on when the update is coming?
No need to apologize shern - I was actively hunting u and everyone else . Lol that was a very competitive room. Loved it I did pull off you a few times b/c I target all rocketers first and even got reveng on one who had just killed you
I did also feel the damaged rudder. If i'm down at 20% health, my zero moves like a tempest. It's like lifting a cupboard. But what I find difficult is the sound... sometimes I hear loud and intense toctoctoctoctoc and then i realize I lost only 5 or 10% health. And sometimes it makes tata and you lose 90%. Sometimes I fly a barrelroll and don't get hit.. sometimes I do a barrelroll and get downstroyed. Sometimes I fire beneath a plane and kill it instantly, sometimes I think I'm on the right point and I have to fire five times to get him down. I just don't know how it really works. Maybe Lance could give us a hint....
What kind of rooms do you prefer? Sometimes I visit only FFA rooms... because often in TP rooms you have to fly a big distance to get two kills and then the hole thing restarts... to much flying, too few planes... For me it's a question of mood, I think... sometimes it's fun in a good team. But when the team is good, you get less kills.... If I got only a few minutes to play I do often "quick join" What do you like?
Haha. I'll just continue the fight with 1 MG. There's once I downed 3 planes using 1 MG before someone helped me into bail state.
I've had that same experience, with what sounds & feels like impending death but little damage. It is confusing.
When u hear rapid multipe knocking on your plane but u see little damage, that's from MG without cannon from the rocketeers or from the smokers.
