Referring to yourself in third person is the penultimate sign of awesomness!  It really puts you in elite company!

Didn't Yoda refer to himself in third person, or did he just have poor english skills?  :headscratch:

The predicate before subject, he speaks.  To explain the situation, a better way.

I guess you guys were too busy being chumps to mention "global fire" using the "N" key which would have explained what I was seeing.

I think they did a very good job explaining to you what was happening.  The "global fire" or "fire all" (as it is more commonly called) was mentioned a few times in the thread.  I don't think anyone on here can be blamed for not knowing that you, someone who has been playing the game for a while, doesn't know the difference between firing primary guns and firing primary and secondary guns.  It's not that they were unhelpful, but the almighty icepac acted like he knew it all already.

You weren't looking for an answer, you were hoping to find something wrong with the game.

actually, it was mentioned in a way...


Read as : Press fire all button in game, all guns with a line of site will fire, but not ALL guns will.
In film, it may see the 'fire all' input, and fire ALL regardless of which actually fired.


i second what jayhawk said, you had been at this game long enough when you posted, it honestly shouldn't have been a question.

I love how icepac is so proud of climbing to 30k+ and shooting down bombers all the time  :lol

Keep up the good work, ace  :salute

He was doing in in one of the jap rides, then one of the patches that came out noted that it fixed an issued causing that plane to over-perform at high alts.

Sorry guys....I missed that "all fire" in an early post.

As far as the overperforming Zero.

I found it and had great fun with it knowing it was going to be fixed very quickly.......but somehow it wasn't fixed as quickly as I expected even though I posted threads about it and mentioning it on channel 200.

I am sorry you missed out on the fun but it's not like I kept it to myself.

Had any of you actually explored the edges of the flight envelopes of the planes you fly instead of performing the exact same low altitude mission profiles ad nausea, you might have found and enjoyed it as well.

Here's one I found a couple of months ago that is largely useless and may have been fixed in the latest patch.....haven't tried it yet.

Some guy whined when he performed a bad intercept in a me163 and could not get to me but I have no trouble getting the 163 up to 85,000 feet and flying it 10 sectors.

I've only flown it in the main like this twice.

icepac,

Have you tried that since the last patch?  There was a note about fixing some aircraft that over performed at altitude.  I know the Lancaster was one that got fixed.
