Clearly the Bolton-Paul Defiant has been slammed right to the top of HTC's highly productive new fighter development programme so Danny & I can kick ass. Off-bore armament ftw. Eat your heart out F-35. As long as we can set the turret convergence close-in, we're golden. You shoot 'em Danny, while I eat the BATCO.
This European lunchtime there was also three to four human players in the mix. Speaking for myself I was averaging 5 kills every three minutes for a goodly-long time with several runs of 10 kills before ammo ran out. If your ACM or aerial gunnery is rusty this is the place to fix that.
It's a rather sad indictment of the state of the MA (in the same Timezone), but you get about 3000% more dogfights per hour against the AI and those humans it attracts than you do in an arena only popuated by whining score-hooooering baby-boomers. I mean human players. No backspace key unfortunately. Shrug.
Even Blade popped in, but I was having so much fun I couldn't be arsed to duel him. That's a first.
Only I suspect the ELO system has a bug. It only seems to score your deaths against the AI and not your victories. Has anyone else's ELO noticably dropped rapidly? I'm assuming the higher the number the more effective you have been? Not seen an explanation of how HTC implemeted it.
next on wishlist, can AI give you some lip back.
Standard. You can immediately discern the human players. They hold grudges while the AI has the memory of a goldfish.
