When I play some new kids. I play as the dart. A good player has to be able to handle all the planes and win.

DAMMIT! I'm loving the kite! Thank you Mr. CEO.
Where can I send a small donation. Just cuz I'm in the mood right now.
This is how I felt when players had the Tibbys and they would shoot and ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM run away and while I would follow them, they would be half way the world. And they would do same thing. So now, we have speed with defense. Excellent!!!!
I'll send a donation just cuz now it is fair.
By the way, a bi plane killed me 3 times and won the game while I was the kite. It is not how the planes are...it is how good a player is. Like I said before, if the kite defense goes down, then the Tibby speed has to go down a notch.
Business wise...it is to the benefit of MR. CEO to keep the kite as it is cuz more people will purchase it to win games. Gotta think like a businessman.

I love the Kite. I would have purchased it for 10 bucks easy. It's the best rival against the Tibby. Thank you MR. CEO.
PS. Is there any way that you can let other players sample the plane for at least 1 or 2 times before they purchase, cuz there were a couple kids asking me which plane was good. I recommended Tibby and Kite and Biplane...just an idea.
I gotta go to work in 2 hrs. Haha.

Air Wings / Cheating? Mr. CEO
« on: March 20, 2013, 10:54:22 PM »
I played this individual and he didn't depart yet he was shooting. Is this cheating or a bug?
This isn't the first time I played someone who shot while not departing. Please advise.

Air Wings / Re: Take it easy on the newbies?
« on: March 19, 2013, 01:19:44 AM »Question: For all you all star flyers out there, when you clearly see a newbie in the game, do you go easy on them? or do you pummel them like a freshman being hazed into a fraternity? Is mercy for the weak?
Here are some tell tale signs that you are flying against a rookie: (How you engage them is your business, or pleasure...)
You know they are a newbie when....
1) They are the green plane in Play Time and their first order of business is to fly straight into the dead end room full of spitballs.
2) They keep crashing in Lights Out
3) They can't quite seem to get thru those cinderblocks in Sandbox....even with the Tibby....
4) It takes them forever to choose their plane and take off.
5) In the training room on startup, instead of taking the shortest path to where all the ammo is, they go straight to the end where all the health is.
6) They obviously have not discovered the "Calibration Button" as indicated by their plane fllying around in circles or straight into the ground.
7) In the lawn, they fly straight out to the middle instead of picking a side to load up on ammo.They keep crashing into the flashlight on top of The Hill.
9) Their plane wanders about aimlessly, because the "Maze" is truly a "Maze" to them.
10) They fly the dart. (Although this might only be true 80-90% of the time as there are a few veterans out there who fly the dart because they enjoy the challange)
So what is your take? Are there any other early signs that the flyer is new, and if you know they are a rookie, does it change the way you engage? Do you ease them in? or do you exhibit tough love?
I usually play as the Dart when playing newbies. And if they are on mic, I give them some small tips on which weapons to use. But it's fun going back to the Dart...a challenge for me some times.

I am not one to write paragraphs. But I used to play with the Bi-plane and it was awesome. I switched to Tibbys now, because I use to get tired of running after the tibbys with the biplane so now I am a Tibby and run after them and play their own runaway game.
Quad kills most planes in the death match room.
Quads get killed by suction cups if your aim is good.
Your best weapon is rubbers.
I usually bring a biplane down with rubbers and pencils. Then again, bi planes are a suction cup magnet.
For all others, rubber bands and pencils.
I'm sure I'm missing info, but others probably covered it.
Tibbys get killed by the bombs and pencils, most of the time.
Beware of the trick to being a Tibby. We usually grab the bombs and drop them off low if you following or coming at us and it explodes and cause you to die.
Hope to see you in the game.

Whenever I play with a new name, I play with the basic saucer to give them some kind of hope.
I ain't no pro, but I ain't a noob either. Haha.

« on: March 07, 2013, 05:49:24 PM »I think you guys are making an incorrect assumption. It isn't that people don't like the game, But rather that they're not Downloading it in the first place to even find out. The number of people playing the game is proportional to the number of downloads, so I'm not worried that people are playing it and then ditching it. The retention ratio is as good if not better than the original air wings. The problem is simply that nobody knows this game exists except for the people on the forum and the few people who bother to follow the link from the original game. Theoretically we will be getting some love from Apple this evening, so we'll see how it goes.
True by the way. While playing an opponent (can't remember name right now) on the original AW, I asked him if he had downloaded AWI and he was like What's that? Kinda made me chuckle cuz with the ad that is always at the beginning, I'm surprised he missed it. But nevertheless, I told him him I'd add him as a buddy and send info. But I can tell he recently purchased an upgrade pack and he was excited about the planes. Maybe a limited ad between game can help, if possible? IDK

« on: March 06, 2013, 11:06:41 PM »I haven't really used the Saucer much, but I've been paying attention to those who do & it seems to me that they get along just fine; just as well as the Dart if not better. I've seen it come down to me & another Saucer several times b/c they could play well. I think if people said that they very well may have felt it was the Saucer, but it was probably more of the experience of just dying much more quickly than they were used to by getting creamed by the people here who can play &/or crashing, & since they weren't used to dying so quickly yet the rules were otherwise the same as they were used to in AW they blamed it on the Saucer even though it "seems" to be as solid a free vehicle as the Dart is.
I agree. I'll try to point that out in future conversations.

Spoke to a couple of people on the original AW, and both people I spoke to, they said they have the AWI game but did not like the game due to the basic ship not being powerful. But I advised them that the other ships were a lot better and to invest, but they were a bit hesitant.
