So, I just passed the first mission of K'tithrak Mang on WC2, but not before having to play it 10 + times. Is it more difficult in these missions, since it's pretty much end of game? The Jalkehis guarding the cap ship I was sent out to destroy in the Sabre were all of the sudden like Kilrathi SUPER FIGHTERS. They took MASSIVE amounts of damage without dying, could out maneuver and out fly me like it was cool, and were cracker jack shots. Flying the Broadsword, the Jalks were nothing. Just toys to sweep out of the way, too slow and un-maneuverable to keep away from me for long, even with no afterburners.
Flying the Sabre, which has better guns and better maneuverability, I was getting ruined out there. Jazz would always be shot down, and any time I'd get a Jalkehis on my right VDU, I'd plow through him until he was ALL RED. All red, and still taking shots of full guns without dying. I felt like I had to hit one over 15 times with all four guns to kill it, and it wasn't even half as hard in the Broadsword.
You don't even know how far my heart sank when I finally killed all the Jalks and nailed the cap ship, only to get back to the Concordia to find 3 Grikaths waiting. Suffice it to say, I was ready to thank God when the Concordia shot them all down before I could even get in there to engage. I was on debug mode by this time, thinking that I was about ready to cheat to win, but decided to give it ONE MORE RUN without cheating before I went down that road, so was it this reason that the Griks went down so fast to the Connie's guns?
Is this just me? Is it the Sabre not having as much armor as the Broadsword? Or is it that there's some increased difficulty in K'tithrak Mang?
