I haven't been playing the game all that long, maybe a month...

But the entire time (through every update), I have had an odd glitch when playing zeppelin games, I can see the zeppelin just fine for about 20 seconds, and then it disappears. It doesn't matter which team I'm on, after 20-30 seconds my role in the game becomes dogfight only.

Today however, with the new patch, this same glitch has extended itself to tanks. They simply disappear about 20 seconds after loading. If I fail to kill a tank in my first flyby, I have almost no chance to come about in time before it disappears from my screen. I can still see the red dot on the radar, but they just aren't there.

I played a "bomb the carrier" mission tonight where I shot down an enemy just short of the water... He naturally went for the tank... And he proceeded to hit the carrier 7 times from shore with me flying all over him looking for an angle that he would appear on my screen. A teammate re-spawned behind me and took him down when they got to shore, but on my screen, they were firing a string of bullets into bare earth.

If it helps in diagnosing the issue, I am playing on a Sprint Galaxy S3. Up until last week I was running on the stock version of android (I had rooted it however). Now I'm running on the Blazer ROM v1.9. I had hoped that the stripped down version would remove background interference that may have caused the issue, but it made no change (other than the crazy smooth phone experience).

Otherwise the game runs nearly flawlessly. It does freeze and crash to home screen about once an hour, but that doesn't bother me near as much as the invisible enemies....

Very odd. They disappear sometimes temporarily due to lag, but they always come back. Are you sure that's not it?

If not, delete Dogfight and redownload it. It will say that you must pay again, but if you pay, it realizes you've already bought it and instantly refunds you.

Hrmmm... I'll give that a go...

And ya I've seen the momentary lag disappears, but this is different. I can circle, leave range and come back, or crash and fly out again. With each, they never re-appear once they've done this disappearing act.

I'll report back after re-install and after I have time to play later to see if that fixes it.

I had time to quickly re-install and logged in just to make sure I could login OK.

I happened to get a fresh zeppelin game. I took off and headed in its direction. About 10 seconds off the ground and it disappeared right in front of me like it always does...

I didn't have time to test for the tank issue, but as the zeppelin issue doesn't seem to be a regular issue, it's not any better and I can only assume the same is true for the tanks.

I forgot to mention this before, but I am playing the "Dogfight (pre-paid)" version from the Play Store. I'm not sure if the game is coded any differently from the standard.

ingio did u try emailing zuperman. try that. and fun playing with u today.

He needs to warn people not to buy prepaid. It causes problems.

Email Joaquin/Zuperman (the creator of the game) at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and explain the issue.

I sent the email yesterday...

He said everything looks ok and asked if I had latest update.

So I froze the game, cleared data and cache, and uninstalled. I reinstalled the standard game (not prepaid version) and logged in.

It's inconclusive if the tank issue was fixed as I can't get anyone to go tank... But, the Zeppelins issue is still unchanged.

Tanks still disappear on me.

If anyone can think of any possible conflict on my phone I'm willing to try just about anything.

As I stated before however, I recently loaded a very stripped down ROM that removed almost anything I can think of that would be causing issues.

Side issues that may help diagnose:

1: The game does still crash on me once or twice an hour. This usually occurs after being destroyed and spawning in a new plane.

2: The accelerometer controls have been giving me issues since the last patch as well. The phone is properly calibrated and the controls setup screen within the game accurately measures the level position as noted by the little planes. However, when in game, holding the phone at the very same position that the calibrate screen was just leveled at (sitting on the counter without having moved the phone) the plane pulls to the right and a bit up. It is enough that a "level" takeoff has me crashing into the buildings beside the runway.

These two issues I can live with. Games crash... that's what they do. And a little bit of a hold difference goes unnoticed after a while. I just listed them to give the possibility of finding the underlying issue.

never heard about zeplins or cariers but seen tanks
