Thanks to several readers who have found a hidden way to see leaked or unreleased planes on the game. To see these planes, go to the general settings on your device, scroll to the bottom and change your international settings. Change the region to Thailand. Of note, these are not your MSWM settings, but the general settings for your device. After you do this, when you now open MSWM, you should be able to see additional planes. Lately, the following have become visible (or should I say invisible for 2 of them). Some interesting stats and a good preview of what is likely coming down the pike from Z2.
 |
| FA-87 Tigris |
The Tigris reminds me a little of the Hurricane with boosts in speed (BEST IN CLASS for SPEED), missile tracking (2nd in class only to the Liberty/Helix) and missile reload (same reload speed as Hawken). A small addition of critical strike rating helps with the bonus damage for some strikes. Of note, no agility upgrades which will hurt if you go head to head against a Hawken. Overall, an ok plane - nothing too crazy to get me excited, but not bad.
 |
| W-113 Rath |
The Rath (not to be confused with the Wraith) has damage resistance which I believe will be a first for agility class. Will have BEST IN CLASS for Energy and second in class for Agility. 3rd in class for speed. Main item of interest is the damage resistance and if that is important for you - with the agility class planes poor armor, it could be valuable.
 |
| Iron Fang |
The Iron Fang looks like it will be the first agility class plane to add missile tracking, although this tracking will still be quite a bit lower than a good weapons class planes tracking. It will also be 2nd in class for speed, BEST IN CLASS for Critical Strike and BEST IN CLASS for EVASION. The Evasion boost has me the most interested. Evasion, if you remember, enables you to better avoid missiles which is ALWAYS a good thing!
Overall, some interesting planes (even though we can't see the pictures for 2 of them!). Interesting that the "Night Wing" doesn't show up in this hack. Maybe it is too super secret or still in development. We will have to wait and see if these all become real or not. I haven't actually tried to buy one - has anyone else? If so, let us know if that works - especially for the invisible ones!!
I have added them to the Plane Comparison Guide so you can judge for yourself.
See
PLANE COMPARISON TABLES for detailed assessment of all the planes performance ratings.
Hey MetalStorm Forever!, I did the region trick and I saw many other planes in the catalogue that have been released before like: Zephyr, Mako, Paladin, Dragon, and the new planes that have yet to be released.
ReplyDeletei did the trick but it only shows this weeks featured planes
DeleteGood point Stan - yes there are other past releases out there too.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite angry because I don't want anyone else buying the Spectre which I have. It's the best Agility plane in my opinion
DeleteI think the Tigris' design is very similar to the one of T-18 Cyclone's. But I think you made a mistake about the Rath; it isn't second in class in agility because that's the Spectre, it's third along with the Dynasty
DeleteMaybe that's why I saw a Zephyr with only 1264 Skill points,
ReplyDeleteBought the Iron but doesnt work. frozen picture after pushing play button
ReplyDeleteThat sucks because I think you wasted your coins.
DeleteYou're probably right...just wanted to try out.
DeleteI still have some coins left for the SU37 although I dont know when it's going to be available, but at least we can now see its icon picture down there in every iphone or ipad screen when you play their MSWM showcase version at an apple store(Is it the new 4.1.1 version?)
BTW, has the update 4.1.1 came out yet? It still isn't in my app store but in MSWM my level is 44 and I'm close to 45, I think that then the Nightwing will show up
ReplyDeletethe picture of the the nightwing doesnt come up because its not a featured plane and its not still in development because it is in the gamefiles also changing your nation to thailand isnt exactly a hack its just a trick
ReplyDeletetoo much skillz
Yay! I reached level 45 but no nightwing yet. I think it comes out in 4.1.1
ReplyDeleteBought the Iron Fang and it doesn't work yet either. You can enter the various modes but it says "spectating." Just played versus mode and it ended in a 0-0 draw, but it stayed in the spectating mode for the entire match.
ReplyDeletei for 1 bought the rath and same thing as u guys! i guess i wasted 190 coins gor that. hoping it will come out on 4.1.1 update and will be available on my menu as unlocked coz if not then so be it!
DeleteThe FA-87 Tigris is based on the F-111 Aardvark, a USAF variable-sweep wing tactical fighter-bomber capable of supersonic speeds.
ReplyDeleteI switched to Thailand, laid down the 205 coins and have been flying it all night (talk about one night in Bangkok!) Even without any upgrades it has been a blast in survival mode.
I am still able to use it after changing back to US settings and restarting my phone but it does not appear with the rest of my aircraft and I wonder if it might vanish if I switch to another plane.
The calender trick isn't a hack cos there are Buddhists who use that calender the Tigris is best in fleet in speed joint with the liberty not best in fleet and the wrath and iron fang are best in fleet for spectating
ReplyDeleteThis is real random, but I have seen some opponents, who have their own pictures in their profile, rather than pilot icons. How do they do this?
ReplyDeleteThat, that, that's nearly IMPOSSIBLE.I think it's because of their GC account
Deletei dont know u guys but in the screen i can see the dragon the dinasty, reaper, zephyr paladin,spectre(well i own this one) the one that looks like a thinderbird f16 , the odyssey , helix , etc...and some old planes like the mako by the way im chocman 360 add me and lets play
ReplyDeleteNothing interesting to me. I cant understand why z2live release this kind of stupid new planes.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone confirm if you can get the old planes with this trick??
ReplyDeleteyes u can, ive ecounter few tegris already in vs. match. beside i bought my mako in thailand region and switch back to original region and mako still their in my hangar.
DeleteOk thank you for the info. Didn't want to buy one and have it disappear. Wish the widow was in there though :/
Deleteperson above why buy the mako when the spectre and reaper are available
Deletefor collection purposes.. thats y i bought it!
DeleteThe liberty didn't have the countdown clock this weekend hmmm
ReplyDeletetoo much skillz
It did. But maybe not in the Thailand region ...
DeleteLike already mentioned, the FA-87 Tigris is the MS:W incarnation of the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-111_Aardvark ). This makes it the first aircraft in the MS:W fleet with a side-by-side cockpit and offers some kind of new multiplayer experience: For the real Tigris-feeling, sit down with your buddy side-by-side. The one on the left is the Pilot . He graps the iPhone / iPad with his left hand and is responsible for tilting the device and for acceleration and deceleration. The one on the right is the Weapons Systems Operator (WSO). He gets a hold on the device with his right hand and is responsible for canon, missiles and camera. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating the comparison table! However, I note that also the Dragon has the characteristic "DMG Resistance", but the values in the table have been assigned to the feature "Missile Resistance" ...which is a feature no longer existing, as you reported in "Plane Performance Parameter Definitions". For consistency should not be assigned the values of "DMG Resistance" to "Damage Reduction vs Missiles & Cannons", in defense class plane comparison table, as rightly done in the agility one? Thanx for clarifying on that point.
ReplyDeleteis 4.4.1 out yet
ReplyDeleteWhen does the weekly plane come out???
ReplyDeleteNow that The Tigris officially released
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to get the widow at all, besides jail breaking my iPhone???
ReplyDeleteHack does not work anymore! Help!
ReplyDeleteBad luck, because it doesn't matter. There are some planes you probably buy if you did the "hack", but since it doesn't work for you, don't cry for help...
DeleteNo worries, delete the updated app and load the previous version from computer backup. ;)
DeleteJust bought myself the F-105 Dragon and P-79 Spectre; the best in their respective class, imo. Looking at the stats of the new planes I don't think they'll get much better.
Why do so many people want the red widow? It is nice, I suppose that it has +14 damage, but that is just 2%better than the hawken, which cost credits. The only other difference is the critical strike rating, but that is not a feature, it is just a trade for the hawken's lock speed. personally, I am not willing to buy a plane that looks like a fire truck for 180 coins just because it has 2% better damage.
ReplyDeleteReally not sure why people want the red widow. Please reply
i want it because its missle reload speed but its decal is also cool
DeleteIt is one of the best weapon planes and it is so beautiful!
DeleteThat is the only plane that I would probably buy at any cost.
my reason is cos she kicked my butt so many times that I really want her !!! and i think Critical strike makes her attack so deadly
Deletehow do you get red widow? I'm on MS:WM version 4.1.1 on a Iphone 4S osx:5.1.1 and I don't have red widow on the plane selection. Not even as locked! I've seen videos of it but don't know how to get it. Can somebody help me?
DeleteHey i agree with the first anonymous that started this whole chain of replies. I personally have a fully upgraded Hawken and i do NOT want to waste 180 coins on a fire truck that isnt that much better than my hawken. Another thing is that I would have to waste a bunch of coins and credits upgrading it so HELL NO!
DeleteThe 4.1.1 just came out guys!
ReplyDeleteI'm just a fan of the F35 that's mainly why -__-
ReplyDeleteJust bought 20 blue coins and got 24 hours of double exp to bad Stan the man tried to get to lv 45 so fast I'm sure it would have been easier now in survival with an exp boost. I hope they keep this option for a while.
ReplyDeletetoo much skillz
I don't update to 4.1.1 yet.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone please confirm if the Thailand trick still works with the 4.1.1?
lol... DONT upgrade before trying thai trick, i saw this post too late, now im crying and trying to et backated to old ios
DeleteThe leaked planes lies on the calendar Buddhist not the country region. Anyway it does not work with 4.1.1 anymore. Lucky that I bought my dragon just before the update.
ReplyDeleteoops, i updated before reading this interesing post, does anyone know how to backdate or downgrade from ios 5.1.1 to preious version w/o jailbreaking ?
DeleteNo there's no way unfortunately. You'd have had to be jailbroken on the version that you want to downgrade to before. And i think you mean the app not the firmware? Get back MSWM 4.0.7 and the calendar trick would work.
DeleteAfter seeing the photos (I post the photos on the nightwing reply) I realized that the iron fang is copperheads plane and that the rath is metalstorms version of the blue angels. Nice call metalstorm forever. I also post the releases comin up in the next month.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the photos (I post them on the nightwing reply wall along with the releases/re-releases comin up this month) I realized that the iron fang is copperheads plane and the rath is a reincarnation of the blue angels. Good call metalstorm forever on the blue angels.
ReplyDeleteAnyway to unlock the red widow?
ReplyDeleteI didn't update to newest version metalstorm and when I tried thailand trick all of the planes, both featured and normal were unlocked and fully upgraded. Did this happen to anyone else or am I just super lucky?
ReplyDeleteStrange...mine said I have to upgrade to 4.1.1 to log on to the server when i tried with 4.0.7.
DeleteOk, I'm pissed! You know how the new Tigris keeps popping up all the time now. I'm sure I've said "no thanks" 30+ times now. Well last night I accidentally hit the purchase button. I saw what it was doing and closed MSWM as fast as I could. It didn't matter, it made the purchase anyway. No "confirm order" or any other such thing to give you a chance to cancel the purchase.
ReplyDeleteI wrote Z2live this morning telling the what happened. I asked that they put the Tigris back on locked and give me back my 205 coins that I was saving to buy something worth while. I also asked that they give you a "confirm purchase" and put new plane popup box back like it was so that we weren't annoyed by it all the time. They answered by saying I can't get my coins back and I should be more careful. I was trying very hard to be careful because as often as it popped up I knew it was a danger! I feel totally screwed. I've purchased coins before for planes, but I don't know that I will ever do that again.
I think that's better than my case.
DeleteI totally screwed myself one time when the game lagged and I pressed the credit coin purchase and then pressed "320,000 credit coins for 320 blue coins" instead of back button.... My blood went cold.
Obviously it couldn't be redone.
I have the planes I want for now, so I buy and stock on blue coin missiles instead of saving up for new planes.
I have a slow connection, satellite. I have learned that I cannot purchase coins at home. If I do I get charged the money but I don't get the coins. Before I knew that would happen made a purchase and got nothing. Z2live was no help, but Apple gave me a refund. Yea Apple boo Z2live.
Deleteanyone want to play survival and beat wave 20 with me. ive done it but anyone who needs help im there i have a fully upgraded dragon

IRON FANG IS COMING!
ReplyDeleteGOT IT ALREADY;)
omg. i play metal storm today and when i finish a versus battle, i notice i lost around 150 coins. I spent ten minutes trying to figure out what happened because it looked like i bought nothing. then i reset game and the Iron Fang appears and says i bought it. ??? First of all, it wasnt even there when I lost the coins, I had to reset the game to see it. Second, I didnt click anything. I really wanted the reaper, but now I cant. I hate this game
ReplyDeleteI think the iron fang is Copperheads plane on campaign mode...
ReplyDeleteIf anyone has it...can you please give a review....
I pilot a Liberty and a Hawken so a Weapons class flyer...but I love the look.
So I need some insight
My friend has it and let my try it out. It is KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Creamed a Sentinel 5-1! If you have the coins go for it. I won't get it cuz half of the time i play on his ipad, he's got the sentinel and red widow. Also I bet Z2 is gonna give us planes with +20% damage +20% agility +20% armor regeneration(kidding hoping for 15% or bringing back the green eagle). Overall if you want agility class with weapons this is your plane. If you want more agility then try the reaper or the upcoming rath.
DeleteHey there, Der Rote Baron here. Concerning your comment about the Iron Fang, I have both the Fang and Raider. While the Fang has good tracking and evasion, it lacks in the turn-on-a-dime handling of the other agility class planes. I practically maxed out the Fang, only leaving the last two upgrades alone. Now, I bought the Raider too and I only upgraded the credit upgrades and the results? The Raider is better than the Fang. Despite the tracking advantage of the Fang, the Raider has better handling and dodging than the Fang.
DeleteHi Lugg,
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know ( if you dont already know:) ) - The rath is available as of right now : to get it you would need to change the regional settings ( just the same way the thailand trick was done ... but you would have to change it to Arabic then choose Saudi Arabia - it costs 205 coins though - I have not boughht it as I think id rather wait and see if t really costs 190 coins as mentioned here. I owe this info to "Clovis" - a fabulous player and one of my very few friends inside the Game Center - who was kind enough to chat with me and let me know about this - who btw just kicked my butt with The Rath - lol
P.S. Even the Spectre is available :)
Thailand doesnt work anymore, but Saudi arabia does
ReplyDeleteHi guys has anyone here used the game mid to increase their blue coins .
ReplyDeleteI have tried and tried to gain coins with the mod but it needs 200 credits to activate the mod only comes with 100.
Everyone keeps saying thank the invitee to activate but my screen never gives me ths option so frustrating. I keep playing and dying opponents planes and missiles so much better.
Does anyone have an answer on how to gain blue coins.
Just level up and do tapjoy offers. Thats how i got enough coins for the Sentinel and the Spectre (fully upgraded each). Hope it helped =D
