He asks for it in FS2.

In FS1, he's actually quite good.

No you can't.

Picture, if you will, enterring a game with two others. Imagine that there are 3 AI along with you, to fight wave after wave of incoming hostile wings.

Now imagine that after every wave is defeated, one of the wingmen send a message to all users:

"Arr! Damnit! Stop stealing my kills!"

Now, imagine you ignore that, and proceed. You kill a horus fighter. Suddenly an Erinyes rams into you, and there's another message from your wingman:

"Damn AI! That was mine!"

Now, imagine that the Erinyes rams you one more time, and you get fed up, and chase the Erinyes in your Ptah class fighter, and give it an ass full of Tempest missiles.


That's what playing FS2 multi is like with Cobra.

Yeah but not when that "AI" is Raa.  And I suspect it's the wingman, not the AI, that's the problem where he's concerned.

It wasn't the AI that was colliding, either.

I need to play with you guys sometime so I can see that. :lol:

It might finally settle the question of whether and when to ban Cobra. :drevil:

I really wish I could play for more than 8 minutes at a time.  Multiplayer would be quite fun.

It's usually me, MatthewPapa, and Cobra. MP is the point leader, I'm the fodder, and cobra's just there, writing messages to the rest of us.

Would another AI pilot not be better?

Oh, wait.  Having Cobra there probably gives you more kills, doesn't it.

Well... not me. But Mp gets a good amount. I maxed at 27 one time. The average is more like 10-12, usually. Although another AI would help us more, yes. :p

This is the STV mission, on Insane.

Much more bearable :p But you wind up with 70 kills, and I still have my 9 :p
