How should we react if our DiD pilot is ending as a POW??? Can we reuse the same pilot in another later campaign not in the same war?? Or should we concider him as KIA?? It would be safe to assume that there is a exchange of POWs in the end of a war. Just asking to avoid some heated discussion later.. My pratice Campaign ended by getting shot down over enemy territory and becomming a POW. We were a flight of four CL-13B on CAP in the Bad Hertsfeld area. We jumped a flight of 8 Mig-17F's and downed every one of them. I got 2 and became a Ace. But as it showed up those were not the primary targets. So we went after a bunch of Beagles nearby. My wingie and me went after the same prey. And since the tailgunner didnt fire a single shot at my wingie and he used the rest of his ammo on him. I thougt it was safe to assume that the tailgunner was out of ammo. I went in close to finnish him of. Was about 200-300 yards from him and blasted him away. When I pulled up to avoiding a mid air I saw green tracers comming from the tail gunner. he ripped my port wing off by the root and I had to eject. Survived but got captured..

It does taste great and then it dosnt crumble in bed

Another catching name could be " The Double D's" no further explantion follows

Do we want a leaderboard for the best DiD pilot of the month. To increase the compettion a bit when we launch??

thats going to sum it up nicely

How about a name for this group?? I was thinking on " The Swivel Heads"

No need to apologize Cliff. sometimes we cant see the forrest because of all those trees

I cant tell how it works in the 06 patch ( been to long time since I played it) but this is screenshots from the stock A-10 in NF4+ one is visual on hard with HUD on normal the other is both on hard. this time I loaded up with Maverics. But isnt so that needs to be with in certain parameters before you can launch a GBU Paveway or tv guided bombs???

have tried pressing E key when you are near the target??

Just tried with Hard visual and normal HUD. this combi gives you the red square

Happy Birthday

That's why we are launching a poll for the minimum rules on Monday 23th. I'll vote for visual targeting in normal mode as a minimum. Even if I'll play on hard settings myself. My suggestions for the minimal rules that should apply for ThirdWire DID is as follows all settings in gameplay options on hard. Except FM and Visual targeting on normal. Enemy skill level: Normal No fixed Campaigns. everybody can choose which campaign in any ThirdWire game including all Mods availlible he/ her wants to play... The important issue is the pilot settings IMHO. Remember this is just my personal suggestions for minimum rules to be followed. The poll decides the rules. I think we should let the poll run for a week before we settle on the rules.

I started a training campaign in NF4+ with a new "DID" pilot in one of the CL-13B 62 campaigns today for myself. flew 2 full missions with anything on hard except FM. Which were normal. Enemy skill level on normal. Just to check myself out a bit before we decide whats the rules should be. Boy this is hard but when you get your kills you be more happy and greater sastisfaction. The first mission I got a Mig-19. But unfornately it wasnt one of the primary targets. In the second mission I was more lucky waxed 2 Mig-17 both primarys. And my flight of 4 total waxed 6 more primarys all gunkills. Normaly I use normal visual targeting. So this is a notch up for me. I had a hit percentage on 6% in the first mission and 11% in the second. Not bad IMHO. Never used the F4 key so much before I think I'm going to be addicted

Happy Birthday Ant

what settings do you normaly play in?? Low, Medium, High or Unlimmited?? Normaly the max TextureRes change any bitmaps automatic to the current number entered in those settings.

I'll play hard to. But dont want to rule people out. The rules IMHO should only act as a minimum to play DID. No fun if people joining would be playing in easy mode. Then the others will have a major disavantage.

I had visual targeting on normal as a minimum in mind to. If people is having a small monitor or running in lower resolutions it's not easy to spot anything. IIRC I think Dave has a mod where the target box is the size of a red dot. maybe we can use that?? My mind is set on both air to air and mud moving.

Core2duo or quadcore

I think the AI FM is hardcoded by TK

Okay changed first post..

Okay should we let this thread run for a week before we whip up a poll??? So people have a chance comming with suggestions???
