VonBeerhofen 63 Posted December 2, 2023 No, that's not my X-mas wish to all of you but what happened in a recent on line mission in the EAW Launchpad. As my squadron approached the enemy I decided to do my usual head on attack trying to come in from a little lower. As if controlled by a single entity all enemies released their tanks just as I pulled up from underneath and bombarded me with a hailstorm of drop tanks. One of the tanks came at me so fast that it filled my whole view area in just a second and entered my front windscreen. Well there's the result of this happening which ended my career before it had even started. Behind me you can still see a few tanks which barely missed me. Anyway, perhaps a bit early but before I forget, I hope you guys have few festive holidays coming before the year is out! VonBeerhofen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkEAW 63 Posted December 2, 2023 I couldn't remember if the drop tanks did damaging properties in the default game? For some reason I always seem to fly through them un harmed...IDK, not sure. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VonBeerhofen 63 Posted December 2, 2023 Can't remember if I activated this myself or not but I had this happen twice now in the past month. I made a note though to give it a random chance to bounce off with an appropriate sound. Pretty sure they didn't always completely wreck a plane when hit. Pretty scary though to see this massive thing suddenly fill up your whole screen, made me actually duck for cover as has happened many times when colliding head on with enemies.
