More questions and weird observations

[RedShooter]

Hi all, i am 2 weeks into first eagle gold and I have a few more questions

that needs answers.

1. How do I know if my wingmen was shot down by flak and not by

enemy aircraft? If one of your guys is shot down by flak, does the debrief log

tells you so?

 

2. On the campaign map,it seems that all the airbase have a supply

Percentage, how does it affect the campaign?

 

3. Now this is a weird discovery, when I was badly shot up and I managed

To land my plane on the ground safely, I press the escape button and it shows

That I am killed. ????? I managed to land safely already, why killed? Later I discover that

If I press shift escape to bail even I land my damaged plane, I have a chance to escape. Bug?

 

4. I discover enemy plane which seems not damaged in battle start emitting smoke all of a sudden and then crash. Is that a bug?

There are folks here who are more experienced than I am, but let me tell you what I noticed:

 

1. In all the times I've played, only once have I seen a plane hit by flak, and that was me. Odds are really against anyone getting zapped regularly by flak.

 

3. I've had that happen. I assumed it meant I was so badly wounded that I died after landing. Unlike other games, like even Red Baron, you don't know that you've been wounded.

 

4. You're a better shot than you thought! :)

well, if you have the Dev A-Team's AA machine gunners, you WILL get shot at, and most definately get shot up.

Thanks for the replies, so one word of advice from you guys

 

when i land my damaged plane on the ground, do i press the escape key to end the mission and hope that i do not end up dead or should i press shift-escape key to bail even though my plane is already on the ground?

I realise when i press shift-escape when my damged plane had landed on the ground, it blew up and mission ends, but i may not necessarily die, i got chance to escape in fact comapred to just pressing the escape button to end the mission.

Please advise.
