Its totaly over modeled. It takes WAY to much damage and those beady eyes really piss me off.

You dweeb...quit your whining...I'm so sick of hearing whining about the damn squid.
He is modeled exactly per the Jules Verne squid of fame that sunk many a sub.
Next time you attack the squid, try to evade the arms and you won't take damage dweeb!
-
The squid appear to function exactly as Kurt Tank designed it.
If you have some hard numbers to say otherwise, post your data...otherwise fekoff.

Yeah, but all it does is HO... skillless no ACM dweebery I tell ya!

BS!!! Its like a friggen Niki on steriods! I'm digging up my national geograhics! I'll give ya hard data and floppy tities to boot!
xBAT
P.S. Goth bite me you friggen dork!
-
>BS!!! Its like a friggen Niki on steriods!
Yeah right. Its all part of HTC's "OBVIOUS INVERTABRATE BIAS" conspiracy right? :rolleyes:
-
OK, I'll bite.....what in the heck are you guys rambling on about????

The arm velocity is also off by a negative 10%, while the beta-Pizza had peperoni velocity had a positive 30% advantage... clearly this is all part of the anti-SquidWaffe conspiracy! Those Peperoni Opportunists can't let a good Squid loose in the arena!
-SW
-
Now that you mention it Wulfe, I do believe that the arms are off by a negative 10%. When I get home from work today I will try to get some hard data on the squid.
Bat, what you said to me is just wrong. Got something for you too.... ^ !
Personally Bat, I think you're just mad cause the dmg model on the squid rivals your beloved 38. Buy a clue dweeb, it's a sea creature and therefore impervious to your silly .50 cals.
-
Argue the modeling all you like but heed this warning:
The next one of you guys that steals my Squid kill is going to get nailed with 72,341 "Check 6" calls.
Because I know THAT will change your ways.
Entirely too many of my squid kills getting stolen. I think for every one I got, 72.3765 have been stolen. I know, because while I don't worry about score and just play for fun, I do track my stats to the fourth decimal place.
Be forewarned!
-
You bunch of DWEEBS! That bloody squid is totaly immune to my nose mounted .50's!!!!! Its frigggen rediculous as my spelling I tell ya!
I gotta find my flopy titte National Geographics to prove it...first I gotta unstick those pages though!
xBAT
And I stole your friggen Squid kill Toady boy becuase I had emptied my entire frigggggggem clip in it and in you try to swoop and take it.... then the GD thing EATS ME!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The giant squid in the lake near A30, in the Mindanao terrain.... this one, in fact :)
-
Don't forget the squid in the middle of lake uterus
10.10.1 I think it is
-
I happen to find it a few days ago so i flew in close but those eyes scared me so i turned my C47 the other way.
I still havent found the beer and pizza yet but i will :)

From "Aces of Mindanao" by Maj Tom Nemoed, USMC:
"During our regular patrols over Utamo Bay, many of our pilots would strafe the giant squid with the 50 cals. But the squid's head seemed immune to damage although the arms visibly flinched. It wasn't until our squad was upgraded to the F4U-C that rounds to the squid's head had a noticable effect."
There it is, in gray and black. Case closed.

Why do we eaven have beer squid and pizza?:confused: Looks realy funny tho:D :D :D
-
We need a manable Godzilla :D
Falcon

rofl!
i can hear the whines now, HT puts in a 500 foot tall fire breathing 5000 perk point godzilla, and the best thing people will come up with is:
"You godzilla dweeb"
from a pure entertainment standpoint, manable squid vs. manable godzilla, while probably fun, doesn't quite fit into a "ww2 air-combat sim" :D

At first I thought this thread was some sort of inside joke. Now I know that there really IS a squid in the water. That's hilarious! I now have a whole new reason to fly low in a heavy fighter! :)
Talk about a gameplay enhancer...

If you dweebs get your Godzilla I MUST have my Rodan!!
You guys are a hoot :)

with all these uber monsters, they should introduce a few cheaply perked Pokemon for the masses.
Bring Pickachu to Aces High!!

Goth: I assure you that all the tenitlces are modeled exactly the same

Flossy, I would appreciate if you didn't post pictures of me without my permission, especially on a "bad hair day"

I don't know about the damage model but I do remember seeing some gun camera footage of Kirk Douglas taking out a squid with a harpoon and a knife. If he can do that then my 20mm on my La7 should make short work of that squid period.
My great-great-grandmother used to fly with the 522nd Squid Squadron in WW1.5, and she told me they regularly took down these squids with knitting needles and hatpins.
More proof that the squid is over modeled.
HTC fix the squid and I want Captain Nemo's Nautilus now.
Thanks

.50 cals should not be able to penetrate the thick skin of the squid though.
Unless they shot infront of the squid so that the bullets bounced and hit the more vunerable parts of the squid.
Actually I heard an interview with a P47 pilot who said that he had killed plenty of squids that way.
-
I see way more squids in the MA than 190F-8s. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!
PERK THE SQUID!

Hortlund, before you come in here and spout you should check your data. Everybody knows the rounds from the 50's would have deformed to much from the impact on the water and couldn't cause significant damage to the squid, unless it was poorly maintained or had its mouth open.
Its all about ballistics bro.
-
I blew the squid up today with a chog 18 perk points :)
-
This is the best thread I've ever seen, on any bbs :) Pure class, thx :D

I can hear it now "Rodan's FM is wrong":p
Falcon
-
You gotta bale out and swim in,try to bite the basketball sized nerve bundle just between the eyes,this will result in an immediate kill,hell it worked for Jaques Cousteau :)
-
I saw a combat film on The Discovery Channel last night which showed that squids were usually impervious to .50 calibre fire, due to their rubber resiliency. The problem we have is real life vs physics again. In real life, half the pilots that attacked squids were coiled down. We are missing the fear factor in AH, thus making it easier to press the attack. With that and the laser-guiding range fire markers, the squid is more susceptible to damage then it should be. OTOH, I have not yet seen the squid do its patented squirt ink and run maneuver
-
Heheh if you think the squid are something, fly the north west corner of the isles map next time it comes around.
-
yay for the godzilla suggestion!!
but only if the sounds are modelled correctly!
btw we already have mothra, it is called the LA7
-
Yarrr. I hear tale thar be gold in her belly .
Yarrr.

Proof, it's over modeled...

A mannable Godzilla? Count me in the arena on that night during Con!

Old post to spread more joy and prove once again that I, xbat, know how to ramble on about inane subjects.
xBAT
P.S. WTF is inane?
-
Godzilla's a great idea. Make him automated in that he is controlled like a CV, highest ranked player controls him, only one per map. Let him breathe radioactive fire and crush anything he steps on. Make him impossible to kill but so that he runs to the ocean for an hour or two after taking so much damage. :D
And of course he's gotta have this.

I disagree about the squid's damage model being "porked". After deep frying, it still tastes like calamari to me. :D

wtf? killing it scores points?

LOL, is that really in the game?
I heard HT had a UFO in WBs...is that true? Be neat to have the occasional "FOO FIGHTER" go streaking by.
-
What kinda perk points? Im dyin to fly a Ta152...

Stupid Squidwhiners... STFU!

One suggestion for when/if you do get the kill on it:
Squid Salad
Ingredients:
Squid
Chopped onions
Diced Celery
Sliced green & red pepper (for color)
Olive Oil
Salt & pepper
White Vinegar
Preparation:
Gently boil Squid pieces in lightly salted water (no more than 20 minutes). Let Squid cool in the cooking water. In a separate pan saute chopped onions (for looks the onion could be sliced only), diced celery, sliced green and red peppers (for color). Sauté these vegetables in Olive Oil, salt and pepper to taste. In a glass dish put in the Squid and vegetables and add to mixture a white vinegar and marinate for 12 hours. Serve cold.
Enjoy!

While they are fixing the Squid they should also fix the 190-F8 loadout. It is missing the 213.4678mm "Squidraketen" loadout. Without the historical anti-squid rocket it's useless.

That stupid squid rammed me last night.

shutup about the bloody squid if you want him dead come in level with the top of his head in a p38 and shoot all your rockets into him SHEESH
