Strike Fighters

The new patch featuring the cockpit view for the F-16 seems to have bugged the game. One of the most gameplay changing bugs is the lock on time for missiles. The lock on time from before this patch was much faster for missiles. For instance, the Aim 120D missile on US aircraft now take an additional 3 seconds or so to lock. In addition, when trying to lock onto a target after changing weapons, there is a delay before missiles are able to target and actually start locking on. Other things include the HUD for all the buttons and aircraft controls seeming bigger and glitches in the text boxes (gaps within the box). Please fix this ASAP since it changes the gameplay so much, that is, if this was not on purpose.

Every time I try to fly one of the Taiwan planes the game gets stuck on the black loading screen with green text about screen calibration. Also, the in-mission User Interface is still glitchy for the iPad 5th gen., with an orange bar on the right side of the screen next to the weapon buttons. The radar ranges are still unsynchronized, meaning that deployed weapons impact their targets while the radar still shows the weapon some distance from the target. As for the recent updates, I do not like how every weapon begins lock from the gun crosshairs, even if you are firing multiples of the same weapon. This started with the cockpit view update. I don't think this is realistic. Radar and laser designators do not do this is real life. If this change was purposed to reduce missile misfires during lock-on, either players need to be more careful when they fire missiles or perhaps add the option to switch aircraft targets the same way you can now switch between ground targets. Basically, this game played wonderfully before the F-16 cockpit view update. Revert back to that PLEASE!!!

I love the Strike Fighters series and have been an avid player for a long time. I love the latest format, but I did love the “Attack” platform as well as the “legends” platform. Where did these titles go? Why were they discontinued? I would love to either see the old titles again just for variation or a new variant. Suggestions for the next game, have landing strips, carriers and airbases, maritime patrol missions attacking ships or BARCAP missions protecting your fleet, a Vietnam title would be excellent, the aircraft and campaigns of the Vietnam war would make for an excellent game, especially if it was done by you guys and gals at thirdwire and Unity. Overall the strike fighter series of games are my favorite games since the old Janes titles of the mid to late 90’s you guys do excellent work, I cannot wait for the next title. Thank you.

I’ve been playing this game for a little bit but it got a little to easy so I tried out the harder enemies and Missiles become useless I hope you guys can find a happy medium or something because it becomes annoying when you launch 6+ missiles only to get no hits also I’d rate this game a lot better if you could change you weapon load outside free also I think charging $3 for a cockpit view is a little outrageous overall though if you fixed these things and maybe had a anti shipping mission where you could take out a single ship or maybe fleet would be awesome but again overall you guys did a good job also if you could make the anti ship mission more frequent and I dunno what I’m doing wrong but when ever I’m in the nato jets I can’t find any ships

I love the detail that’s in this game and don’t mind paying for very good work. Some requests: to make it more interesting, could there be a campaign where weapon resource management is key to victory? There’s no reason to use unguided bombs when AG missiles and GPS bombs are unlimited. How about scores for unguided bomb accuracy? When the lady says “good job RTB” could there be an option to do just that? Give us an airbase or carrier to land on and score us on landings and carrier traps. Give us mid air refueling. Incentives to keep playing with promotions and medals. Ships and bombers are noticeably absent from a fine game such as this. I would pay for these improvements thanks again!
