Gunship 2000 AGA - Few questions

10 December 2007, 03:57

I don’t know is this a bug or copy protection but after mission 4, when I get my squad I cannot hit anything with missiles. I didn’t play Gunship 2000 at least 10 years but I don’t remember that I have problems with my original game.

Second, I don’t know how to order someone from my squad to pick up missing pilots and troops. It seems I must order him to land with Blackhawk on top of missing pilot but it seems impossible to set precise waypoint. When i piloting Blackhawk it’s not a problem but I prefer to pilot assault choppers.

And again sorry for bad English

As far as I remember it is a bug in the game (though I think corrected in WHDLoad version). I think ECS version is free of this flaw.

Yes, if you google comp.sys.amiga.games you should find some stuff about this. I think Microprose claimed at one point that the "feature" was implemented in order to balance up the gameplay, as flying with a squad made it too easy for the player.

No, seriously.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, same thing with WHDLoad version from Killergorila’s package. Maybe JOTD can fix this in his next release.

So, I thought wrong that it had been fixed in WHDLoad version

Sorry for a reply to an old thread, but I just recently found this forum. I too experienced the same problem. Missiles had about the same range as cannon, if they were effective at all. They worked just fine when you first started the game, being a single ship, but as soon as you had a squad of 5, the missiles were virtually useless. I dumped the AGA version of Gunship 2000 and went back to the ECS version and voila - missiles work as advertised!! I really don't notice the difference in graphics. Now if someone could just figure out how to get an analog joystick to work with G2000 in Winuae!!

OK so I am the post resurector again but... For what it's worth I have experienced the useless missiles when you fly as a squad BUT just today, once I'd refueled and re-armed at the FARP my missiles seemed to work! Oh well. That's it. But GS2000 is still pretty cool.
