Problem with Strike?
Anybody else having trouble destroying targets in Strike? I know those concrete bunkers are supposed to be more difficult to take out, but i think i've yet to destroy a single one yet. and i just spent a good five minutes trying to bomb the same bunker back to the stone age. i know they were good hits, right on the money, and yet after every pass, the bunker remains standing, mocking me. lol
Also, is it just the games im joining or is there no way to make a purely Allies Vs. Axis game? Seems like both teams can pick whatever aircraft they please, which is very disappointing. |
Theres something fishy with strike right enough. I did the same thing with a He111 and I bombed the crap out of the enemy base for several minutes and not one of the targets was destroyed. Every bomb I dropped for a good 5 mins was bang on target and at the end of the round I had only 1 star for a score.
And in one game I played I was bombing a target with a hurricane when the bomb targeter decided to vanish. None of the targets around me would show it the marker at all. I had been bombing the same target repeatedly, and the marker just vanished even though the targets around me were still selectable. I ended up crashing and checking other targets and it was back again. |

btw nice sig r the planes flying over the IOW |
Aye, can report same issues here - bombed and rocketed a plane to blazes, and it was burning like no tomorrow, but no damage was registered. Had similar issues with bunkers (on bunker I dropped 12+ bombs on and it was still standing).

Each hit takes tickets off the enemy. you can destroy them but it takes afew hits.
it is purpously made this way so the games can last longer instead of blowing them up straight away. As for the bomb sight dissapearing, i have experienced that also, but its not a reggular occurance. |

I unlocked the big 132 rockets for IL-2 and some of the unlocks for the IL-2 is to destroy ground targets, which is impossible because the plane is crap. No more powerfull than a spud gun.:confused:
The only thing it is good for is on the CTA games, i'm not sure if someone who is landed counts for a ground target? Should do. I've definately killed more than 5 landed people with an IL-2 and not unlocked anything. Doe's it matter how you bomb? How high? Dive bombing? |

The tickets do lower if you hit the target and it does take a lot to destroy them so the games are not over in 5 mins which I like. |
Will rockets work in Strike as well? I just unlocked some for my Yak and the first time I used them I couldn't blow up a single target or take any tickets off the other side, but some of you saying it's happened with bombs too. Is it just a glitch or what.

I guess I'll just give it another go then. Nice to know I wasn't alone in experiencing this.

And have never, ever managed to take a single ticket with rockets, and that's after firing 20+ into a ship and again setting the deck alight. |
so what your sayin is FORGET rockets and stick with bombs then?

There's definately something wrong with strike.
I have done most of the weapon unlocks, got a few left, mostly ground kills with smaller planes... P-51D-5, IL-2M, La-7,... And I don't think the developers actually tested this, since it takes a huge amount of time for 1 kill. With a small fighter/bomber (e.g.: IL-2): On 300 ticket-games, 1 group of bombs/rockets does about 1 damage, a kamikaze attack does 5 damage points. So for a game that has 12 targets, you would need to reduce the ticket with 25 points to destroy 1. That's 25 passes or 5 crashes lol On 1200 ticket-games there seems to be no difference, because the same attack does 4x as much damage to the ticket. Wouldn't it be logic that a game with a 300 ticket would have weak ground targets, for games with small bombers? And a 1200 ticket-game would have strong targets, for games with heavy bombers. |
He 111, 8 x 250kg bombs, nooo problem destroying bunkers
|
yea, but you will need to destroy bunkers with IL-2's and stuff if you want all the weapon upgrades... That's not as fun as a He-111 or B-17 or Arado-234, ...

I agree, quite frustrating when your tryin' to unlock things and you only get a couple of ground kills for 20-30 minutes worth of work. If your team is way ahead you can always kamikaze them but come on, I don't think that's really in the spirit of the game.:mad: |

ok still having problems with this strike thing...its mainly the unlockin stuff i need to do but how can i when rockets dont do anything
|
I played strike the other day with someone with the pre-order aircraft. The P-47 can carry a 1000lb bomb and 10 HVAR rockets at the same time. It was a good aircraft to use.
