Nice short Darth Vegan, ah the BF110.. always have a great amount of fun with that on the Eastern Front campaigns, believe me it's well worth a playthrough.. just finished a night fighter campaign in the old 1946 version, the word fun is well earned.. though I still love the P38 Lightning more than the BF110. That Spitfire pilot suffered the typical setback everyone suffers from.. wreckage hitting the prop and it's bye-bye to the flying. Regardless this was a great short, hope you had a fantastic Christmas and hope you have a fantastic happy new year also, stay safe and happy gaming mate 👏👍

Hi...nice flight, as ever. This under-clocking issue is becoming a pain for you, I can see. Really screws with your aiming ability without a doubt. You know, you could always just switch to Rise of Flight and have all the graphics settings up really high, etc (I still think RoF is superior to Flying Circus in nearly all categories, to be honest) and use PWCG version designed for it that is still receiving updates...that's what I do when I use RoF as it gives you far more enemies than the base game does as well as make the AI enemies half decent...and RoF is Free giving you the Spad XIII as one of the free planes from the beginning...just a thought. Look forward to the next. Cheers.

Is it better to keep building up your starter ship or buy a used ship that has all the space and some equipment already built? Such as a freighter.
@darthvegan2 күн бұрын
Since it is so easy to build your own, I think it's best to build on to your starter ship. Even a relatively bare bones freighter is going to cost you in the millions.

Wooo-eeee.. that was one gripping yet bloody and fantastic episode Darth Vegan, that first large battle.. that was on the edge of your seat indeed. Don't worry or lose heart, yes that was a close defeat but look on the bright side, your still in the fight, your forces aren't crushed and either way you look at it.. our enemies are bloodied up for their troubles. Maybe we should take our hats off to our foes for achieving a hard goal, they gave us a setback.. but.. it won't last, as we know 😉. Don't go to the field hospital visitinb the wounded upset, go there a prepare how you plot your vengeance 😁. That second battle at least went well and we're still alive and kicking, your doing a great job commander Vegan.. we will win this war, remember that. Excellent episode, great Christmas gift, stay safe, happy gaming and well done mate 👏👍

Awesome episode Darth Vegan, that was some truly excellent and incredible flying performed there. The green baron Dennis Valentine returns home victorious and the honour of the squadron has been made proud. The dogfighting happens over no-man's land, over the hell that is the western front.. a world of apocalypse, makes you think about how those heroic boys are managing down there. 2x fighters killed and both in true ace manner also, looks like our enemies might be running out of seasoned pilots.. opposition isn't as intense as last time, regardless.. no underestimating of the enemy though. Roughly 5x months of war to go and all will be over, just need to get to November 11 and Dennis is free. Great episode, loved it.. have a great Christmas and well done mate 👏👍

Hi. All caught up now. So, interesting mission...you did very well against those DFW's (though how you didn't get a bullet in the face with the first one I'm buggered if I know) and your wingmen buddies actually contributed, for a wild change (PWCG really needs to address the triggers for when the wingmen activate). Random engine failures is a thing but you can change that with the Options. Engine failures during that period were all too frequent back then and not surprisingly, when you think about it. Combustion engines were still in their infancy and when you also consider that their main engine lubrication was castor oil that sprayed out constantly during the engines operation well, it's surprising the damned things ever worked let alone got them airborne. Anyhows, you survived that dubious landing through no real fault of your own so looking forward to the next adventure. Cheers.

Nice, very quick kill on that Albatros, I must say. Your second opponent, the Pfalz DIIIa, was a little more wily, eh?! The DIIIa was very similar to the Albatros DVa but is was able to soak up far more punishment at a little loss of agility. However, your Spad XIII is very definitely no turn fighter. It was a boom & zoom fighter, totally. Your only real option was to extend out in a shallow dive and grab a little height as you turned to re-engage. The real beauty of the Spad XIII was it gave its pilots the choice of when to disengage at their whim leaving all other fighters of the time in their dust...used in this manner, the Americans gained many wins over their superior-equipped German opponents. I, personally, hate flying the Spad (both versions)...give me a Camel any day of the week. In truth, it's the terrible cockpit view that really makes the Spad a 'no-no' for me. As it goes, I must say you fly the aircraft very well and you have had some much deserved victories with it so, as they say, keep doing what you're doing though perhaps bare in mind the aircrafts performance envelope. Right, onto the next one in my catch-up...one left, I believe. Cheers.

Awesome episode Darth Vegan, this was very gripping as well as being incredible. The title of cemetery rescue had me thinking we'd be literally fighting among the dead like something out of Resident Evil at first, don't know why but that's what came to mind. Either way this was an epic episode, the scenery was amazing like something you would see out of one of the epic war movies, reminded me of the Battle of Ramelle from Saving Private Ryan. This episode took place in Czechoslovakia as well.. on the doorstep of the German homeland, close to the Riech.. wouldn't like to have to go into the Reich and do any operations there. This will no doubt upset the enemy good and proper and will no doubt annoy the pro-nazi supporters, our friends will however be plenty in the Czech lands, but of course we don't get too friendly with strangers. Looking forward to the next episode, was excellent. Keep it up and well done mate 👏👍

Coffin is the best option. You can pay off the mortgage the quickest on this ship. I always get Hacking and skilled in EVA. You can grind gigs at the nexus until you can afford an EVA suit right at the start of the game (there is always a job to ferry something from one part of K-LEG to another without leaving the station). You might get lucky and find an EVA suit in a cargo crate dotted around K-LEG as well (as well as a samurai sword and other good things) but you need hacking for that. Once you are earning big money, you can pay to have a lot of the medical illnesses removed at the medical centre. Another trait I like to get rid of early is Insomnia. You character gets better sleep and doesn't need to sleep as long as a result.
