Guest captain_oh Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 Do the fighters dog fight with one another (fly and shoot) or do they just hover circling one another shooting at each other like helicopters( this would be dumb since they are fighters). Some one please inform me how air units behave in combat I would like to know before I buy this game. If any one has played total annihilation you would notice that air craft engage each other like fighters not like helicopters like in star crap I mean craft ( hover and exchange shots) A total annihilation fan who loves x-wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 although i liked TA, SWGB has a totally different approach to 'realism'. It's a basic fact you'll have to live with. So yes, i'd say the fighters hover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisw_30 Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Air is ok for me...hover away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Influenza Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 I don't like it myself... but then, what can you do? It's built into the engine. Not much the SWGB team could do about it. TA's dogfighting was beautiful, and it's a shame more games don't implement it. I would've loved to see it in SWGB . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safire Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 If only LucasArts learned from a better engine...but no your units just float there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supreme Warlord Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 It would be awesome to see the fighter dog fighting and doing moves like we saw in the movies... IT WOULD ROCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungan_Reble Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 I think the air units hovering is a small price to pay for what is essentially a very good game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefo Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 If you wanna see Fighter Dogfights GET A GAME CALLED X-WING ALLIANCE ! I think the Air units are fine the way they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagobahn Eagle Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 If you wanna see Fighter Dogfights GET A GAME CALLED X-WING ALLIANCE ! Thought I'd provide a link for the fans: http://www.xwlegacy.net Mission editors, opts (everything from the Borg to E-Wings). Also, for those who thinks the graphics suck: Not to worry: http://www.xwaupgrade.com. /off topic Have you seen the Ewok fighters (or bombers, to be more exact)? Only fighters that actually spin to the ground rather than just exploding . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowbieOne Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 A lot of the animations were cheesy in GB, but that was expected. There's not much they can do with the AoE engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaming Nut Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 If you want try that kind of dog fighting and bombing try emipre earth the planes trun in wide arc and never stop moving it a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaming Nut Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I don't get this perjedic againt 3D RTS games. Their are plenty of crappy 2D RTS games but their are lot more of 2D RTS games so they don't seem as numberous but they are. Ground control(also has great dog fights), HomeWorld, Homeworld Cataclsm, Empire earth, Earth 2150, warzone 2100 these are all good tough their only ones of played I'm sure their are more their are crap ones too but their are also crap 2D one.

captain_drake Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 well i ain't saying there isn't carappy 2-d games but most every 3- d ive played was confusing and totaly worthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Influenza Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 I'm with Gaming Nut. Please, captain_drake, share which games you've played and why you didn't like them. I'm interested . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natopo Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Force Commander is a great example of a 3D game that was confusing and worthless. That's the whole reason Lucasarts made GB. because everyone was complaining that FC stunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
