Re: Favorite terran fighter
A Terran Mara at full afterburners does about 15% damage to a Ulysses, then just before you ram it, fire your double Subachs and one Harpoon and it nearly dies.

As for getting kills, I have killed an SJ Sathanas, according to the stats...and I need to fly a Sekhmet again, because I keep forgetting about it.

As for the Ursa/Boanerges, I have always used the Boanerges in Slaying Ravana - the Ursa seems to be easier to hit for the AI. Not to mention the fact that you can hide in the fighter bay and still get shot through it from all angles by flak and laser turrets...
His legacy will last until the beginning.

Can't you just download the fixed Ravana POF?

I agree with that. For some reason, while I was on my ramming spree yesterday, I returned to base with NO DAMAGE on the Boanerges, while I took 4% hull damage on an Ursa.

My method of taking down the Ravana is the same as taking down the Sathanas: target the beam cannons, afterburn towards them, release dual Cyclops at 500m and flyby or fly away.

And about that model glitch...yeah, I've seen it myself. :wtf:

I thought Just Another Day was the most problematic, since its supplied mod.ini file crashes OS X Launcher 3.0.7

If Goober made a mod.ini for DEM, he'd probably do something similar, just deliberately.

He probably would, after what he made in DEM... :p

I don't fly the Ulysses unless if I really have to. Why do some people like using "the bat"?

Agility.  The Ulysses feels very nimble and it has better-than-average flight performance, even in FS2.

GO loki!

Me agrees.
When the reactor explodes, it's usually a sign that you've taken too much damage.

Re: Favorite terran fighter
In The Great War, I find myself flying the Hercules whenever possible. I liked the Herc because of its gunpoints, which allows me to hit things easier. :)

Re: Favorite terran fighter
Why does the AI pilot Lokis so badly? Could someone examine that myth too?

I dislike it cause it handles like a rock, but love its secondary bank size.

Perhaps the Loki is too agile for them to handle. The AI has its own turn rate limits. ;)
