:wtf: Really? On medium?

What are you trying to do, kamikaze the Leviathans? I just chase down bombs and bombers and it's a cakewalk.

Re: SILENT THREAT: REBORN RELEASED
While I was playing the campaign I felt like I was a fighting god and it boosted my ego hugely. Then when I went to change the music volume I noticed the difficulty was set to Very Easy. :sigh:

I didn't go anywhere near the Leviathans - I hunted bombers exclusively.  However, the Lokis decimated my wingmen and after chasing down a certain sneaky bomber I emerged from the core to find no less than 4 Lokis chasing me.  I couldn't get back inside or burn away fast enough.

I finally DID beat it - I alternated between bombers and Lokis and managed to clear enough away that as soon as a certain critical plot event occurred, I just hammered the afterburners and left the remaining 8 Lokis 2km behind me before jumping out.

But seriously.... way too many Lokis, and interceptors suck at intercepting them.

For that mission I always get EM Pulse missiles for some reason.

Snail: That was a last-minute change. Guuber believed the EMP would screw up Sneak 1's behaviour.

GTI science sneers at your notions of causality!!

Re: SILENT THREAT: REBORN RELEASED
Sorry that this is a bit off-topic but does anyone know why the Herc in the FS2 intro at about 2:04 shows it's insignia is with the GTI?
Was the situation so dire that the GTI was called in to reinforce?  :confused:

The GTD Legion is the ship that is destroyed in the intro.

You know, the GTI's primary command ship?
Spoiler:
You can see it in the last mission as well.

Screw up, as in the following sense?

Spoiler:
Sneak 1 flies into the PVI Egyptos.

Sneak 1: Okay, there's the reactor dead ahead, now all I have to do is-

Alpha 1 hits Sneak 1 with an EM Missile.

Sneak 1: Ooh! A wall!

Sneak 1 flies into a wall.

Sneak 1: Ooh! Another wall!

Sneak 1 flies into another wall.

Sneak 1: Ooh! A wall with numbers on it!

Sneak 1 flies into a wall.

Alpha 1: ... ... ... ...

Sneak 1   Destroyed   Kill: Alpha 1 (100%)

Re: SILENT THREAT: REBORN RELEASED
Yes, AE, just like that. But then again, it seems most GTI pilots have that problem.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Re: SILENT THREAT: REBORN RELEASED
You would think that GTI should focus more on trying to improve the AI on their drones first before trying to rush the launch of the Hades. I mean, nobody suspected them at the start of Silent Threat, so why hurry?
