    Vanessa! You need to spend more time with your husband and less time trying to impress shernie!!

    I went to bed at 2 am est time and you were 800+ kills behind me.

    Now you've gained 600+ kills in 6 hours!!

    Looks like I'm being passed today :)

    Alas a sign of the times :p I agree there are lots of really good players lurking about. I haven't seen 7 P-40's in one room for weeks. Guessing SGN turned the noob bot generator off ;) Talking of which, I HONESTLY believe your 'bot' theory is correct. A few days ago I saw one in 'action' it just flew straight, respawned in an identical location, never fired a shot and was still there when I left albeit stuck in that flashing from top to bottom mode which happens now and again. Its not the first time either it could be a glitch I guess but not convinced.

    Anyway to answer your query... I don't think its any of the above - I'm not seeing any movement in the scores and I haven't started playing yet :)

    Oh yes connection speeds... mine has been lousy averaging out at 25kbps or less which means I am avoiding h2h with ANYTHING, especially P-40's :eek: I took a kicking in the Mossie so it just goes to show! It got better later on and I took revenge on 4 rocketeers ending with 71 kills in the Spitfire-II. I hereby claim the name [RES]ervoir Dogs :D for my intrepid venture. The only downside to this game was my team mate an over enthusisastic player (xpro*something) kept filling the screen with 'PWNED' everytime 'I' got a kill... bad sport my friend. Credit to the others (names completely forgotten) for hanging in there.

    @ Hexy... I knew a girl from New Zealand once, does that count? :D Never been to Oz, looks like a great place to surf :) I live right on the beach here (well, a 5 min walk).

    GO [SAB]Q-BALL!!! Thomas have you seen this video? You appear at 0:17 killing Tom Hanks :eek:

    U knew a girl from NZ? So did u managed to have sxx with her?? Pls pardon me. I've watched too many western movies to be convinced that westeners always have sxx after first meeting. Is this true? :D

    Keebler, we are husbands so we are different from Vanessa. U see, when we play too much, our wives will complain and nag and we will always give in to our wives. But when a wife play too much, her husband will rejoice and celebrate because he now has FREEDOM!!! :D

    Her husband is still out on deployment, I think he's a Marine. She said when he gets back she won't be playing as much... so she's kicking ass and taking names till then! Vanessa, are you going to train your husband in the art of SoG when he gets back? I would expect to see another excellent player join or ranks after ya whip him into shape! :)

    GG GN and Craigmac! :) GN how do you land so many rounds on me in those H2H runs in the second that you have me in your sights before you do your dip and roll? I think it must be because you are an extremely accurate shot... it has me puzzled though. I need to figure this out so I can develop a counter strategy for it..... hummmmmmmm... one day my friend, one day..........

    GG! Hombre90 :)

    I learnt the art of the h2h strategy to Austin.
    But, this strategy became not effective in the expert of 2ch, too. :(

    I should also think about the following strategy. :confused:

    Isn't that what we've been wanting for the past month, better competition? And it's none of the guys you've mentioned. There is really just a large influx of new, decent players flying good planes. I'm liking it, but it can be annoying if you're looking to climb up a certain rank before going to bed or whatever. I think what you find annoying about it is that these new guys are anonymous, which can leave a bad taste in your mouth if you're beaten by a "nobody" vs. one of the 2ch guys or someone else from here or FB that you're able to have a friendly dialogue with.

    ps. It appears I'm one of the few guys here who likes reading your love letters. Keep 'em coming! :D

    So is Sola and Chitose and Origami. I think one of them has discovered the holy grail of h2h and dogfight and they shared it in their forum.

    That's why I'm frustrated. Because i'm trying to climb up fast in ranking but I'm no longer moving up as fast as before. On 2nd thot, maybe is just couple of players from here who keep using different names, making it looks like influx of skilled players.

    But on 3rd thot, may be SGN had increased the difficulty of the bots that are auto generated to ensure there are players round the clock.

    That's the thing, I figured out a counter move that works on Austin and almost everybody else that uses that shoot and dip tactic. It just doesn't work against you for some reason! :eek::eek::eek:

    Yes, I received that notification.

    Incidentally, how do you turn notifications off on this game? I no longer want to receive them but I can see no option to stop them happening? Do I have to remove the app from my device to achieve this?

    Thanks,

    Jamie.

    I think you can go into "Settings" on your device and click "Notifications" and it should allow you to adjust which apps you receive push notifications from. Just remember it's the Settings for your iPhone or iPod (with the gears on it) NOT for Skies of Glory.

    They have done this now every weekend for the past three weeks. They are just advertising via push notification is all.

    Thanks - got it turned off now.

    That's exactly why I wanted to turn it off - they're abusing the push service by using it for advertising; something I personally find disgraceful...
