Re: Vid's campaigns are to difficult? - advice here!
I still cant beat the mission in FH '60 with the shadow base.

No matter how many spitfires I shoot down (30 and more kills) the sharlin is alway torn to pieces.
And I cant even skip this mission. Even if I commit suicide 5 times and press "skip this mission" I am just redirected to this very mission.

Re: Vid's campaigns are too difficult? - advice here!
Ah, thanks. Putting the vidmaster.vp into the Zathras data folder slipped my notice the first time.

Still cant beat this mission. 40 SH Fighters are to much for me :mad:

The problem is, it is not easy to get actualy killed in this mission, so atempting the suicide-skip-mission "trick" can become an difficult task too.

Maybe I will try again tomorrow.

You fail at protecting the Enfili or the shuttles? Need to know that, so I can consider a rebalance (once again, I don't know how many times this mission has already been rebalanced  :lol: )

Re: Vid's campaigns are too difficult? - advice here!
Well, kind of both.
I only managed it ONCE to keep the Enfili alive (at 3%). But then one of the shuttles got hit with one spitfire blob and decided to enlighten the scenery.

Most of the time although the Enfili bites the dust after my wingmates  (Goodguy is frickin useles, they all got shot down in the first wave against the Enfili) and I, well mostly I, blasted 30-32 SH Fighters to spacedust.

Re: Vid's campaigns are too difficult? - advice here!
alright, noted.

One tip: How about trying to intercept the Shadow Attack force very early (remember to get your wingmen to follow you into a good attack position by having them in formation, before ordering the attack)?

Re: Vid's campaigns are too difficult? - advice here!
I tried this mission several times too.

I can always save the Enfili and the shuttles make over half the way, but one of these little ******** always slips through and kills one of those papermade shuttles.   :hopping:

Maybe tomorrow...   ;)

I'd hate to see these guys try it in debug on insane.   :pimp: 


Then again maybe it would make easy seem like child's play when they went back.

Re: Vid's campaigns are too difficult? - advice here!
Only after beating it which is a challenge into itself on that goddamn insane mode.  :lol:

To many people complained about this mission, I'll fix it.

No idea.  Didn't know it didn't work.

Re: Vid's campaigns are too difficult? - advice here!
I nearly got it!
One bug left and shuttle at 16%.

And this ******* was a second faster than me.  :mad:

Maybe tomorrow.  :D

When you know where they come from, you can shoot down an entire wave right away by hovering close to their spawn point  :) Diverting some power to weapons helps too.

Re: Vid's campaigns are too difficult? - advice here!
Did it!   :D :D

One shuttle at 1%, but done is done. ;)

I tried it about 15 times. It was one of the hardest missions i ever played.

Re: Vid's campaigns are too difficult? - advice here!
I hate to sound like a complete idiot.  But if I don't ask it will prove my idiocy.  Not sure of the mission number.  The mission you get the Avenger in 2269 your supposed to scan various bits and pieces...is there a trick to this? because no matter how close i get, or what buttons i push...it won't scan.

EDIT - Nevermind....I just got it to work....had to position the ship juuuust right.

“Yeah, kid, what’s there to be worried about? I mean it’s only…” he trailed off as he considered the possibilities, “only a dark creepy tomb sure to be filled to the brim with painful death.” he gulped, before adding, his voice very much subdued. “I wouldn’t go in there.”
