Very bad problems with new patch...
« on: January 27, 2001, 01:46:00 AM »
All of these problems have been documented more than twice by myself and have been confirmed by other players.

1) in H2H the CV can be sunk with just a few rockets. (all game settings set at default)
2) no longer get "ship sunk" message when CV is sunk. (suspect is tied in to #1 somehow)
3) no planes can take off from captured field even if all hangers and EVERYTHING are up . "you cannot fly your plane from that field" message.

test it yourself, start a H2H game and then sink yer carrier by strafing it. or with 1 500 pound bomb.

I experneced all of the above in Zapkins arena, and then in my own, many other players have experenced similar in other games.  It makes anything but FFA in H2H practically useless.

There are a lot of parameters that can be set for offline and h2h games. I don't remember them all, but you would have to experiment a bit with them to try to mirror the settings in the Main Arena. H2H and offline settings are not the same as online playing, you just have to set them up that way. You can also make it more difficult if you wish. These settings can be found in setup/arena settings. As far as the ship sunk message I don't have a clue.

Duh Mark,
all settings are Default in the game's I am also seeing posts about the carriers being sunk REALLY easily in the MA as well, and they are not getting "ship sunk" messages either, its not an arena setting its something else, and it came with the new patch.

Now there's the way to solicit help... insult anyone who offers a suggestion...

Might I suggest you place this in the bug forum?
