  • Here we go, finally part 2. I promise these will come faster!
    There is a pretty tragic fighting performance in the first engagement, but I think I redeem myself. We also start to see the real power of the Screamer and the Howler.
    I have another community submissions video coming too!

    Ever since Sseth's review brought this game to my attention, I've been looking for a good high fleet series to watch, and I've gotta say this channel is pretty awesome. Keep up the good work.

      It also showcases how powerful aircraft can be in asymmetrical battles. The reach and power on a small cheap airframe really shows in this game. It's also hard as hell, especially when you prefer to fly lighter faster ships like me!

    Great campaign till here - really rooting for you and also feeling the excitement in the Highs and Lows (finding the Hidden City, getting forcefeeded with rockets vs proxfuze shower by the Gladiator) - don‘t hit yourself to hard over the head for non-perfect combat performance. I actually like the suspense of the high stakes and some of the setbacks just add for me to the feel of realism and the hardships needed to endure to guide this expedition to its destination. Looking forward for more!

    Good point to keep the missiles safe by containing them. Might have to add a piece work two to keep the fuel in a better place than hanging off the side. That's an explosion waiting to happen if you leave it exposed.

      She does snore, she showed up in the background a lot in my first campaign and I told everyone I would make sure she doesn't in the future and a lot of my viewers told me not to remove her, which made me happy so she may snore a little in the background occasionally in future videos.

    I had no idea this is how you're supposed to play the game. I had understood the game mechanics but always thought the most viable strategy was keeping the fleet together or turning it into a megaship. I love this more methodical sort of military campaign style taking each city as you go.

      They are pretty difficult to find if you don't know what you are looking for. Best way to start is to use the city event that gives you the rough location of one, or to use ground radar to detect one. You can also look for roads heading into the desert from any settlements near a suspicious open area on the map.

  • @Donkringel
    @Donkringel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Is dropping the bomb really worthwhile?
    In your test video once you've entered the additional time limit the bomb grants, releasing the bomb causes an immediate enemy launch. Since you seem to have troubles dropping the bomb couldn't you just hold on to it and use the additional grounded time to rain fire upon the enemy? It seems like the time is more useful than the actual bomb, is what I mean.

    You are way too though on yourself regarding the first battle. As soon as you played to your ships strenghts you won.
    Also your aim is not bad. But you move around always! So your guns always move :D Try breaking to a halt, unleash your full fire into enemy. And then dart away from inc fire. You dart around, when maybe you should dart away. Your aim is fine.
    When you release bombs, thier speed increase with the ships speed. So they are best released from high speed. But i guess you know this. Maybe you utilize the time they remain on the ground better. I usually move in a horizontal quick sweep realasing boombs. Then move up and use missiles and guns for the finish. Not trying to do all things at once ;)
    I must also ask, is there a reason you save your bombs and missiles? My argument being that you save the cost for the missiles and bombs when you completely destroy even smaller garrisons, and take lesser damage. You wont spend money and time on parts and in repair? Also when fighting a gladiator it's quite nice to finish of the smaller ships with missiles and then fully focus on dodging proxfuse and gun fire.
    Great episode. That finding of the hidden city, was all about experiance. Have a great festive seasion.
    Are you not using the 1.5 beta patch?

    • @Phrosphor
      @Phrosphor  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am not using the beta yet no, the fleet is built around 1.14 construction limitations and 1.15 will make things significantly different.
      I am saving bombs and missiles because I didn't have spares - which I do have now! So hopefully you have seen me use them more often!
      Still trying to use bombs more, but it is difficult imparting enough velocity to the drops.
