I really like the hangers and buildings. They all show up fine
One small glitch, though:

Attachment not found



Apart from that, love it! :)

Thanks for the Jolly Roger Zup! 4.4.37 flies fine, nothing weird or anything like that. Almost seems smoother in graphics, but maybe that's because I deleted a few other apps that might have been taking up some bandwidth.

J4ff, Samsung quit bug is still quitting, I think Z was just hoping. But I did turn off Advanced Task Manager to test out this release, and it quit in seconds. With ATM turned on and deleting regularly, it seems to extend the time before it quits.

there is one, you can "leave" your squadron. Just select it and you'll get the leave button. It will ask you to first empty it, so you have to kick everyone out of your squadron before you can leave it.

Zup,
Windows 8 players still seem to be ghosting. I forget who it was, but a known win8 player. I assume that they have to update their win8 app before it stops phantoming?

That's the thing. I don't get the leave button. When I select my squad I only get an edit button, which when clicked does not give a leave option. I'm stumped.

Just getting a message that says "1 ready!" on the Dogfight screen. Then it starts counting up. I got to 8000 plus overnight before resetting. I have reloaded the app a few times to no avail. HELP!!!!

Zup,

One point of feedback, maybe for the next minor release if there is one. With the new hangars, the bombing dynamic has changed so that you can only bomb one hangar at a time. While the hangars look great, this one change is going to cause people to value bombing even less than they do now. Which means that even more players will be dropping bombs midfield, which is their right, but the game loses its appeal when it goes on forever because everyone's dropping and chasing and no one's advancing toward the goal of the mission. People just leave those games and look for something else that is more interesting.

Anyway, please consider making so that bombs can catch several hangars, like before.

Thanks,
Manfred

They can. I took 4 hangars with 2 bombs. Just place your bomb between hangars. It is huge target, can not miss. So it takes just four bombs just like before.

My experience with the new hangars has been the same as Manfred's; one bomb, one hangar. I was even in that mission with Onsekone and have no idea how it worked, I've tried every bombing angle, placement and approach there is and can only hit one at a time. It does demand a shift in strategy; hitting from a tank is now much more viable than punching through eight times to get eight hangars. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, just different. I actually find BTB games to be about the same length as before but with a greater emphasis on tanking. I can see Manfred's point about players being more inclined to dump their bombs knowing the payoff is only one eighth of the way to a victory and a measly fifty points.

The hangars themselves do look great. As do the Duckwing monument(s), the tavern town and the placeholder Jolly Roger, though Gmoney's version (with the crate full of empty bottles you've already added) would be just about dead on.

The most dramatic change I'm noticing is the dicey servers issue. Since installing the update I've been able to get into Festubert only once, Messines not at all, Vimy is accessible but very slow and laggy, and all three frequently require me to bail all the way out of the game, kill other apps, clear the cache and re-enter the game from scratch just to get into a mission which I'm able to do maybe one out of every four or five attempts. .

Yeah i could only get one hangar with a bomb. I did get phantomed by s win 8 player a bunch of times. Noticed the flakey servers too.

Other than that it's all good. Dont regret the upgrade

Zup,

I was just on the noob server, and was flying with a Windows 8 user named "n___j" (three underlines):
#5193 n___j Lieutenant-Commander I (7) 107 2 125 117 32

We were both at the north base texting, but we couldn't see each other. He said he has the latest Windows 8 update. Later in the game, we were able to see each other.

I have the latest latest update as well.

Thanks,
Manfred

So Wig or Whomever,

Since the update I saw an immediate degradation in performance. One immediate thing I notice is that if I hit the page key when I first spawn it will take 3 to 5 seconds to bring up the roster of pilots. I also have A LOT of pauses during play. I played a game right before the update and saw NONE of that.

So, is this due to the servers or the update?

I will say that I experienced the same problems two updates ago and it went away (with no new update). So, maybe there is a "burn in" time on the servers until everyone is updated to the same version? (Except for the Apple folks that don't really count anyway.) :dry:

Since the last update (Sept. 25th.) I have problems. I can not play because the "choose plane" button does not work anymore. Does not work in multiplayer or even in training mode. Zup please fix this problem. I am playing with Samsung Galaxy S3. Thank you.

@conradogf, got it, i'm fixing it right now and releasing a quick update today.

@manfred the delay when you get the list of pilots is because i try to clean up the memory of your phone. I'm hoping that small time spent cleaning up the memory stops/helps with your samsung crashes. If it didn't, let me know.

Hangars: yeah not everybody has the update yet, it should allow to bomb only 2 hangars at once if you hit them right. As onsekone pointed out, you still require the same amount of bombs that before but you just don't drop them ramdonly, you have to aim more carefully.

Windows 8, Windows Phone 8: the update is sent but it is not published yet (like apple), so nobody has the fixes on those yet. As soon as it's out, i will enforce the update.
