Title: How far do you get in the gauntlet missions?
Post by: KeldorKatarn on January 11, 2007, 07:00:21 pm

I tried them at level "hard" and I must have become awfully rusty. Only once I managed to get past the two Darkets, usually they blast me away.
I find it incredibly hard to shake a fighter that is on my tail.

How do you guys do in those simulator missions?

And does anybody have some hints on how to improve my WCSaga skills, as I think I suck at this game atm?

Hell, there will be, once you face fighters at once :)

I'd still like to be able to beat two Dralthi in a Thunderbolt on level hard, which at the moment I don't. I know lower levels will also become more difficult the more enemies you face, but I'd still like to improve my skills against 1:1 and 1:2 situations, so I'd like to try those missions on hard.

All I asked for was your experience with those and maybe some pointers if you have any.

I could get maybe to 1 on 4. I certainly can beat 1 on 2 :)

Any pointers for evasive action or something else?

Edit: Finally made it to the two Gothris... Seems I am improving..

Its like the old Fishermans Friend slogan "If they are to strong, you are to week" or so ^_^
I only have played at the medium setting and its a good mix of fun and difficulty for me...later levels are a good training for evading missiles when hundrets of missiles are going for you and you have to evade them.

Else I should try myself the hard mode and see what I can do. Most likely I won't even get past the first Darkets ^_^

One clue would be to learn how to use missiles effectively. They are deadly, but you don't want to waste them.
