Hmm. I just finished WC4 again (started at 1900, finished at 0430... kinda odd to finish it all in one sitting
). Having done so, I've decided that Maniac really isn't that bad. I mean, you get used to his comms very quickly - but Primate's "maybe I'll just negotiate with them today" gets annoying very, very quickly. Needless to say, Primate was grounded for most of the game this time
.

You kidding? Maniac never dies. Well, 'cept for that time in WC1. It was nice to see him get fried on his first time out.
Quarto, I've played WC4 in one sitting a couple times, as a matter of fact. I think atrophy sets in sooner or later.

If I'm locked on, there's no such thing as evasive action!

Most of the comms were annoying. The worst has to be Maestro in Prophecy. As far as good wingman, I almost never flew with one of the main characters. I liked Primate, Yeager, and one other one, whose name I can't recall. Turbo, perhaps? Vagabond was pretty good. Maniac bolted too quick from the fight for my tastes, plus he rarely followed orders. He seemed to get better as the game progressed though. BTW, who do you guys side with in the Dekker vs Maniac scene? I always chose Maniac, thought it was Blair's burden to keep him out of trouble. I did chose Dekker once to see what would happen.
Dekker, always. Who nees Maniac's help, but Dekker always takes longer capturing the space station if you choose to stop the fight.
'Sides, it's always nice to see Maniac get beat up.

That was a great feature of WCIV, btw. Your actions outside of the cockpit had influence on events around you. I know it did that in WCIII as well, but I found it more realistic in WCIV. I still think the pilots needed to stick together, but someone never gave Maniac the talking to he needed. I thought by the end of WCIV he was getting better, but they made him an asshole again in Prophecy.

Tom Wilson (Maniac) is one of the funniest actors I've ever seen.

I do like the guy! He's still my favorite wingman in WC3. Like I said in another post, he's your capship killer.
Set him loose and watch the fireworks. He'll kick butts, but never drift between him and his prey or you're kitty litter!

actually i liked mathew lillard in the movie he was a way better maniac he should have been in the game
Why would you want to "sit back and watch the fireworks?" I absolutely hate it when my wingman takes out an enemy cap ship. Hey, I'm out for glory, I want that cap ship for myself! Call me selfish if you will.
