EDIT: Got the full version now.:)

Finally got the Motorman Trophy, god I hate the airplanes in this game.
 
I got the full game tonight, loved the trial so decided to buy the full thing. Well worth it in my opinion. Course I bought it on PS3.
 
Yeah it is good fun, although I'm still having trouble enjoying Wake Island. Also for those who find the ingame stat tracking a little wanting I stumbled across a facebook app that includes much more detail (ie kd ratio, accuracy, wins and losses). However I question how accurate it is as the points per minute stat for me is wayyyy off. Anyhoo FWIW:

Oh yeah it is also tracking the community progress to unlocking the Coral Sea map, currently on the 360 it stands at 31+ million kills. So it shouldn't be much more than another day or so until that map is available.
 
I might buy this after doing the demo. How has online been? Plenty of people to play with and everything?
 
360 users now can use the Coral Map, PSN aren't too far behind. I should say we would get it in a couple more days. The game itself is great fun, I personally haven't had a probelm with lack of players and theres always been enough to have a decent battle. So far so good, I'm getting better with the aircraft too. Which is good :)
 
Have they said if we will have to pay for maps after that or anything else for that matter? I don't want to get into a game where you have to pay for absolutely everything.

Edit: How do you parachute? It says you can bail out of a plane and parachute, but I just fell to my death...

Press the get out of vehicle first, then press jump once your out. That should then deploy the parachute. 👍

Thanks, I managed to deploy it once from hitting every button while falling, and I never figured out which it was! :lol:


Any advice for how to shoot down other planes? I can't tell how I should be aiming at them, whether it should be right at them, slightly ahead...So I'm lucky to ever down a plane, yet I get shot down all of the time. Pretty frustrating, this game. :crazy:

Yeah make sure your bullets hit them :lol:

Seriously though try to get the opponents plane in the red target sight and fire away and you should beable to hit it with a few rounds 👍 . Also try to account for or second guess the flight of the opponents plane and shoot were you think or it looks like the plane will fly to.

Hope this is helpfull
 
You need to shoot ahead of them to account for the time the shell takes to hit them. AA guns take about 3-5 solid hits to take down planes.

I aim slightly infront of them, so then they fly into the path of the gun fire. But try to predict where they are going to go, and fly on the interior/cockpit view.
 
Also, if you miss, i believe that the black puffs of smoke let you know where the bullets are heading relative to the plane you're shooting at. So if you're shooting and you see the black puffs behind the plane as it flies, you need to aim further ahead of it. And if you see the puffs in front of the plane, you need to pull back a little.
 
Played the demo, froze once, but I was quite having fun, but thir wasnt much people online so it wasnt crazy fun, may buy, if i run into some cash lmao
 
Just got this one tonight... Im lovin' it :D
 
BF 1943 Is great fun :) I love that have fixed the frame rate issue from BF bad company! 👍 And is it more AA? Have not tried planes yet but that looks so cool:)
 
Just in case anyone wanted more of the demo version, EA is extending the trial. Today, i believe. Check the ticker in the demo for more details.
 
Played the demo for this and enjoyed it greatly. Getting into a jeep or landing craft and having a team mate jump in and shoot whilst you drive gives it a great community/team feel that you don't often get with most FPS. My only gripe with it, which is stopping me from buying the full game, is the fact that it isn't really suitable for a SD display - you just can't really make out what's happening in the distance.
 
Does anyone else have a lot of problems with the sound when driving in a vehicle? Especially in planes, the sounds of the vehicle always go in and out...

The graphics looks crisp... and Air Superiority is now open.. only dogfighting in planes... :) Good change to the shooting every now and then... 👍

-edit: sorry for the double post :ouch:

Yeah I had that sometimes, I know part of it is an effect when a bomb goes off near you the sound is supposed to go out a bit, but it is then supposed to return. But sometimes it doesn't.
 
Anyone can add me if you want to play, Im a average player and a good passenger in tank:) Need some decent team mates! :)

Cool, I dont use mic often either though :) so no worries.. I'll send you an add request when I fire up the PS3

-edit: Great shooting last night mr_VOLCANO.. :) We form a pretty good squad ... Next time I might be able to get a couple of other good guys to join us as well 👍

Is there anyone else playing this game that like to join squads??? mr_V and I had a great session yesterday... both scoring high games here and there... although at the end I started drifting off a bit and scores started to drop... ;) mr_V knows why... :lol:
 
Is it me or sniper bullets take two shots? Always does for me LOL
I like the rifle the M1 garand works well.

It doesnt hook me in as much, sure 5 hours and only 270 kills is pretty bad...

If you get a direct head shot it's normally enough, although most of the time it's very hard to do that unless they are standing still.
