WC1 Oddities...

Just had another crack at WC1 on my last evening before I returned to uni and I found a few (although trivial) interesting points:

In the early missions, both briefing and debriefing occurred on the same day at 06:00. Now, I know cleaning out kitties takes no time, but this is a bit much, don't you think?

There were often two or even three missions played on the same day. And often briefings were introduced as: "XX minutes into the briefing..." So we fly, shower, eat, talk, receive medals, and then fly our little DeLorean back a day? :)

And who were Dibber, Potshot, Sutek, Zoro, and Seggallion? Sim freaks? If they were as good in the simulator as they were in combat, they should have surpassed everyone - including Blair - on the 'chalkboard'! Heh, chalkboard. :)
 
Y'know, that's not nearly a good enough explanation for it. :)

Didn't LOAF put up the dates for every mission in WC1? Surely someone would have spotted something funny in the timeline.
 
I didn't notice that, but is true, some mission ocurs on the same they, I think pilots will get exauted fot flying 3 mission a day... I think

Well you know, the modern fighter jock is a pretty busy man... :D;)

Aside from the first one (.110), all the dates and mission times (not medal times!) in WC1 are random jumps ahead in time... the *actual* WC1 timeline can be gained through dialogue...

They're pilots from some other squadron. Tiger's Claw had 104 of them...

Well yeah, so the pilots "update" it themselves... :)
Plus it tells you things are not done automatically like with the WC3 onwards killboards...

I find it more "antique", but nicer... :)

Mmmhhh... I don't get it LOAF... What do you mean by "random jumps" in time?
 
There's no *set* amount of time between two missions -- the game always starts at 2654.110 (Enyo 1)... but Enyo 2 might be .111 or .114 -- it's random.
 
Ahhh... I see...

But I was thinking about the "hour" problem that Wedge mentioned.... how can we explain the same time at briefing and debriefing?
:confused:
 
Y'know, that "Go Ghost" is really annoying. No slight intended.

If those 'other' pilots were as good as they were in the simulator, they certainly could have made a bigger dent in the Kilrathi than Blair could ever manage. As it is, generic pilots are next to no help at all, especially in the infamous Kurasawa 2 mission.
