Back then, it's just 2 hits to kill a plane (4 with soldier), now its 4 (8 with soldier). It's more difficult to dodge incoming planes because their speed are increased significantly (a level 5 plane has a max speed of 212 without bomb, 180 with bomb) About the range, it is changed. Bullets drop just like a tank's shell; you have to aim higher if your target is farther away. I'm not sure about tanks, if you're talking about bombing them, I have no idea since I don't use bombs on tanks. Tank speeds are actually increased, but I agree, it cannot climb hills faster than before. Also it is difficult to stop a tank now if you're in a sloped terrain. Switching to firing mode will not stop your tank...I'm talking about the magic brakes. These are the changes I noticed when I switched to DF elite. Hope it helps.

Hey Wumper,

Also beware of getting in a chute... the "auto destroy" has a timer on it now. If you hit auto destroy and you make it to the ground before the timer runs out then respawn, you will still auto destroy (in your freshly respawnd plane) when the timer finishes. It changes how people use chutes.

As for bombing, I haven't noticed any thing about not being able to drop at high speed, but the higher speed changes when you drop. It works better to "dive bomb" the target than it does to "straif". The bombs don't seem to have the same "blast radius" as they used to so you do need to be pretty spot-on to hit a tank.

Also planes don't slow down as much when carrying bombs, so it is much easier to turn fight while loaded.

If it takes more than 4 hits to down a plane it's lag.

Sensitivity adjustment is going through the update cycles. Zup is making it so all devices are pre-set to 75% to try to level the playing field between devices. It isn't updated on all platforms yet so there is still a lot of disparity.

Some older devices don't show trees. So you may be barnstorming through the woods but your chaser may have a clean shot.

Depending on where the plane is hit it can take more than 6 hits to bring one down, wing hits do less damage. All in all I think the game plays better till the lag starts, usually when a game is full and gets intense

Not to worry we've got our top guy's working on it at this very moment.




I believe oldest df title belongs to [M*]Coop as confirmed by zup oldest active player.
