Misc. Noobish Questions

[iambecomelife]

Hi! I'm a new OFF user waiting impatiently for my copy to arrive. I have a couple questions and I hope you could help me out.

 

Out of curiosity, what's the highest number of kills that you guys have scored during a DiD career? I managed about 54 kills in RB3d with a French pilot, but I have a feeling that OFF is not going to be as forgiving.

 

Are you satisfied with your wingmen's behavior? Are there different wingman skill levels, and is there a noticeable difference in their behavior? Do they survive and accumulate kills, or are they cannon fodder? In RB3d, there was about a 300% turnover rate in my squadrons (which may well have been realistic, considering how deadly aviation was back then).

 

Does the AI analyze the tactical situation/odds when it is fighting? Time after time in other sims I have lost all my squad mates because they took on huge enemy formations without trying to retreat.

 

Thanks! :yes:

Welcome, Jambe

When you are flight leader, it will be your commands and actions, that decide, how well your

wingmen are. The better you care for them, the more will you bring back home. You order "attack" -

they attack (even if they all will die). You order "return" - they return to you; now you must lead them

out of danger. And if you call for "help" in a combat, they will come and help, if they can.

 

But if you take on every fight, to win the war single handed - they will soon all be dead.

And you without witnesses for however great actions. Your decision.

 

For the kills of DiD pilots, look at Siggi's site, here: http://www.hetzer.talktalk.net/index.html

The various sqauds/jastas have differing morale ratings and levels of experience. I do believe this affects the wingies performance and durability.
