ooooops.... So if you're like HAL 9000, does that mean Shern is maybe a bit Bomb #20. I'm off to sleep now. bye.
@WhoMade.... GG this morning. After reading Shern's tips on H2H over on FB, I changed my moniker to "sue" and went looking for a fight! ended up being you and me till I had to dash. I was 10 minutes late 4work. Thanks!
SGN's newfangled Exo Planet crap might SoG in popularity! Orion seems to have defected to them. White zero? Pah! SGN is so cheap-If they want us SoGers to buy Exo Planet, at least throw in a Z3 and war games pack.
I have not defected! I can play more than one game ya know! It will never be the same as without the ability to name yourself, you can't really have a lot of interaction with the players. I just need some new planes here soon, then I will probably forget about Exo Planet. Right now its a good change pace, but I do have to say Shern's non zero III campaign is really making things better I think. Though I don't see what he sees in the p-38..... I just can't seem to figure that plane out!
So Mr. Orion, how does the Z2 compare to Z3? If I do get exo (the screenshots dont look too bad) I will both get a good plane and please Shern, right?
Emperors new clothes I ain't buying Exo Planet. I only bought SoG cos i was bored shitless of Call of Duty: Zombies, i hadn't played GTA:Chinatown Wars for months and only chanced upon SoG. i wiped most of the apps of my phone since bar Tunein radio, a few music production ones and ZombiesII (which isn't 3G yet and won't be played until it is.) So if SGN think i'm gonna go running for they're new toy they can think again. Besides there'll be double the angry mob when the Android version comes along. Tho i guess the SoG players who suck by firing rockets badly will no doubt flock and buy it. Judging by SGN's replies to the FB page it sounds like the same press team hyping Exo Crappola. They can't stop plastering away on the new page. I'm running out of a point to this post except. I AM NOT BUYING EXO NOR DO I WANT TO.
Yeah. SGN's too obsessed with newfangled toys-Instead of Exo Planet they should improve SoG. Although a great game already, they should, as everyone suggests, balance planes. Really, Exo is a waste of time. How many will be attracted to a bouncing space game and how many to an awesome WW2 fighter game?
It's pretty much the same as the zero III, except for the fact it's slower than Christmas in comparison, has crappy firepower and shatters like glass. It handles pretty well though. Most of the vets used to love the zero II, I however was one if the few that never liked it, because I would get mowed down in H2H in it.
You ought to try to fly closer to my P38 if we meet. Look carefully and u can see Vanessa in bikini painted at my cockpit. Ok. Joke aside. I really see a lot in P38 and I think I see more than what Austin see because I've rich experience in every planes to do comparison. Here's my comparison: P38 vs Z3: The Z3 makes all dogfighters redundant and irrelevant so we shall not talk about Yak3, Mustang, BF etc. We shall only talk about planes that have one thing that Z3 don't: thick armor. Ie. P38, Mosquito and Tempest. The Mosquito make the Tempest redundant so no need to talk about this yellow plane neither. When other things are equal, ie skill and luck, P38 wins Z3 in h2h anytime due to it's high armor and not so inferior firepower. This is not disputable, right? Dogfight? Conventional thinking will say Z3 has the upper hand because it can do tighter turn and lower stalling speed. But this is for those who only knows how to spin with enemy as tight turn as possible and to do so fly at the lowest speed without stall. This is a stupid tactic as it makes him vulnerable to attacks from enemies outside the furball, and aces know exactly how to deal with players doing a slow speed spin. There's more than one way to be effective in dogfight. One of the best way I know so far is to spin at high speed and spin in some directions that the enemy just can't get you, and u can't get him either. But at least u can choose when u want to turn to him to get him by checking the radar seeing him breaking out of spin, and that's when he will be blasted out of the sky. I did this on number of Z3 veterans with satisfactory success. I shall not spell out exactly how I do this because that's my secret but you should be able to figure out if you understand the concept I just put across. When I said spin, I mean pitching up constantly, not rowing. So once you figured how to make Z3 5 star rating handling redundant against your dogfight tactic, it makes P38 a better overall plane than Z3. Other planes will not be as effective as P38 because P38 has the highest armor rating in current SoG inventory and it's firepower damage is 3rd best. Now onto P38 vs Mosquito. This will be next post.
As an example, i had a GG with [SAB]Doom (who is he?). He's in Z3 while I'm in P38. We engaged in furball. Other planes are at edge of my radar. I deploy my secret tactic, spinning at high speed at some directions. We just can't get to each other as I intended, waiting for a chance to strike. The bad thing about my tactic is time wasting. We just keep spinning for fairly long time. Then I observed 2 planes approaching us. This is my opportunity. If he has been spinning at slow speed, knowing both of approaching planes are rocketeers, he's gonna die. Or if he lose his patience and want to go for easy approaching targets, he's gonna die too because he will need to do h2h with the approaching planes with me scrubing his backside with leads. Both cases happened. He got hit by the rocketeers as I can hear boom but my health is good, and from radar seeing him break out to face the approaching planes, I quickly turn to him and saw him thick in smoke (I never did this to him so I conclude must be from the rocket), and I just grap easy flag from him and also from the rocketeers.
SGN doesn't actually make any of their games you know. They hire out companies to develope them for them and then host the servers. Revo for example created SoG, not SGN. Flying Wisdom Studios created Exo. In theroy, they should be able to develope both simultaniously as other companies are the ones doing all the programming. I do agree with you though they are very slow in upgrading their games. Apparently this is the case with FAST as well. I doubt EXO is in anyway contributing to the lack of development of SoG, but if anything may be contributing to their slowness to respond to us sometimes. They will upgrade SoG eventually, but they are always slow to do so. This is why I am getting impatient with it. I have been playing this game since January non stop, and the game was released in December of 09 I believe and since then we have only gotten one upgrade to the game. We got three or four new planes before the upgrade, but they already had those made and were in the game from day one but deactive. There aren't any new ones as the jailbreakers would have already found them by now. It sounds to me like we are going to see some changes soon and the only thing I know of that's in the game, currently, but inactivated are the weapons upgrades and the fuel. I worry that we might see the supercannons and the Super rockets and the "sweet fuel" (which will make the planes go faster) before we see new planes. I don't know for a fact, but given that stuffs already been developed, I would suspect they would release that first before any new planes. They are well aware though how we feel about that stuff, but with the old producer, Shawn gone, who knows what they are planning at this point.
P38 vs Mosquito: We had long postings just I will make it short: The best P38 I've ever met is not Austin. It's Advant (spelling may not be correct). I initially thought he is Austin but when I played Austin after him, I find both flying style completely different. Advant use P38 against Z3 much better than Austin. I think he's one of us: Sola, Chonch, Thomas, Origami, GN, Handy etc (pls own up). He just can't be an unknown player that is so good with this game. I was one on one with him few weeks ago. I was in Z3 and he's P38. I was totally beaten by him, not in h2h as I'm fully aware I shouldnt be doing h2h against P38 so I always avoided h2h, but I lose almost all in dogfight!!! I'm completely shock and shamed. How can I lose in dogfight using Z3 against P38, again and again? So he's the one that inspire me to do a thorough experiment on P38. And now I so love the P38 is all because of him (or her). Handy is the best Mosquito player I've ever fight against. But he's no way near to Advant in P38 in terms of dogfight effectiveness. If Advant is Handy, then it just proves P38 is better. I tried to make this short.
I agree with you that the only planes you really can compete with a good pilot in a zero III are the p-38 and the Mosquito. I prefer the better handeling and the longer range firepower of the mozzie to the p-38 though Shern. I understand what you are saying about your furball tactic, but that's only as good as the pilot flying the zero III. A lot of us know how to handel ourselves in a furball and do more than just slowing way the heck down. I don't know what your secrete recipe is, though I do have an idea. I wish you would PM that to me (I won't share it). I suspect though that like all stratigies once figured out, the skilled pilot in the zero III will figure out a counter. I don't see how a p-38 can counter a zero III in a DF. I see how you can counter the majority of zero III players in a dogfight, the same way I can counter the majority of p-38's in an H2H. Edit: I really want your "secrete recipe"! I want to fly the p-38 well too! It's the only plane I never really could get the hang of!
btw, i'm sadly seeing some lag using iOS4. things seem a little slow-mo - kind of like when I edit something down to 70% speed. ugh..!
I didn't think that would even be out until Thursday. Did you try rebooting? I have been getting that too lately and sometimes I have to reboot two times in a row to get it right again.
Great, more waiting for me for iOS4! Skies of Glory We are working on optimizing it for the iOS4, when it is done, we will let all our fans know!
