Its official. .39 sucks!!!

[|Robot|Bender]

They have ruinied the game for me. .39 has officially killed Desert Combat as far as i'm concerned.....

[SFT]

They were some big changes. You'll need to adapt to the new setup. Things will be changed bigtime again in .4. Be sure of it.

Most of the bad changes will be changed back with .4.

I sure as hell hope so.

Hey inky, last night me and Zaku got booted twice from your server.

Manager prollems?

ALos, the Harrier now lags out everytime i get in it and crashes...didnt' do that on other servers.

Besides that, i like your server....you'll be seeing a lot of my ass on it.

Thats my ass you will be seeing mooning you out the window Hummvee as i just gunned you down....

hee hee

Yeah, Bendy. The server manager is being watched this week. The server may go down once in a while for the next day or so. We won't let it go too long, though. We can always put the old manager back on. We know that one works. But, we want the new manager fixed because of the superior features it has. Have patience and we will get this server all juiced up and kickin'.

I haven't noticed any lag in the harrier. I will keep an eye on it.
ElectricHead has been exchanging emails with the developers and they assured him that the crappy changes would be fixed on the next release.

Yes, .39 is pretty much borked.
The Good
1) Stinger vs Soldier is 0
2) Some of the voice messages are shorter
3) Naval Updates (need some tweaking tho)
4) Midway works (usually)
5) New Mig/ F16 models rock

The Bad
1) MarketGarden is still borked
2) Most of the messages are the same
3) One Grenade in launcher
4) Removed BRDM from "docks"
5) Some wierd sound changes
6) The AH64 and HIND are "easier" (noob proof) to fly
7) Stingers have been "noobifed", they fly perfectly straight
8) Guns on SU25/ A10 still to weak (need that .30 power!)

The Ugly
1) Artillery is absolutley useless
2) Helos are weak vs everything, but they have more armor :confused:
3) Grenade Launcher grenade is nerfed beyond belief
4) Radar in planes borked
5) Not as smooth as .38
6) Heavy Assault gun STILL overly inaccurate


The dev I talked to said they know they went to far on the Helos, the Artillery, and the GrenadeLauncher. .4 is supposed to be a MAJOR update with maps, weapons, balance and polish. The devs in DC are really good (too good actually) at listening to the players...alot of the noobs were complaining about the power of certain weps (you should have seen the .35 SCUD) thinking that one soldier should be able to take out an AH64 with a pistol instead of using TEAMWORK and calling in the AA guys (Stinger/Mig).

It looks like .4 could be pretty good. Until then do what I do...launch lots and LOTS of CruiseMissles :naughty:

ps,
The Harrier has always been a jerky plane to fly. If you leave the cockpit graphics in, its usually alot smoother.
