  2. Yay, first comenter!!!!

    And may I be the first to say,
    WELCOME BACK metalstorm forever!!!!

    I am so glad the plane comparison tables are finally up to date. They help so much when trying to decide which plane to buy.

    Sadly, however, I have decided to leave the full time playing, metalstorm community in favor of sky gamblers: air supremacy.

    Sadly, that is for me: I don't think many of the 7.5 million people Playing metalstorm will give d**n what games I play with my time. Sadly, also for z2, as they will no longer get my business. I will no longer be buying coins from z2!!!!!

    Ok, I probably won't stop playing metalstorm, but I'll no longer be playing on the scale that I used to.

    Now that feels good to get off my chest.

    On a totally unrelated subject: everyone knows the dragon is out again, well I bought it the minute it came out, and was astounded. Just a few minutes ago I beat a 6k SR player, who had; an eagle, meteors, and a banshee. I had my dragon, aim 120's, and standard issue cannon. My SR is was only 3140 at the time

    Ps. Sky metalstorm is in every way better than metalstorm

  3. My comment took so long to write, someone posted first. I had an earlier post, but it didn't actually post.

  4. Metalstorm forever! Some put this in your plane comparison table comments back in May but apparently you didn't notice!!! The Sentinal in your plane quick reference guide is the leaked version not the actual released one.

    Thanks

  5. Metalstorm forever.. U have a mistake on the stats of the FA 230 sentinel

  6. Thanks MS forever! Sorry there is a mistake in the table: the stats of the Sentinel are those of the leaked version.

  7. You guys are sharp - thanks for noticing. I've made the update for the Sentinel. I don't always get a chance to read all the comments. Take care.

  8. Go play without cheating. Any new hacks? Loser.

  9. Hey, just noticed that the paladin has been added to the permanent metalstorm fleet!!

    Should I get it or not?
    Or should I just spend $3.00 on sky gamblers, and unlock the X-26?

    1. I got all the planes in SGAS without spending a cent. But you said "Sadly, also for z2, as they will no longer get my business. I will no longer be buying coins from z2!!!!!". Or maybe you got some saved coins.

      Delete
    2. you must have unlocked the x-26 befor they could be purchased. now it saws "to unlock this plane (x-26) purchase in the market section of the store"

      also, a new plane is out in the new version with the same unlock mode.

  10. Hey metalstorm forever!! You need to check your SGAS website. Go the article on p-51 in the dogfight missions and go to the last comment.

  11. Glad that you're back, thanks for the updates. On a side note, is there anyway you can also let us readers to rank and review each plane? For example, It would be helpful to know that players with a SR of 0-3000 think the Dragon is a 4.5 star and players with a SR of 15,000-30,000 think it's 2 stars, etc. Thanks and keep up the good work!

  12. I am kinda neutral saying that I'm leaving Metalstorm Wingman. A new account didn't bring back the fun. I'm not leaving because of the iAP's, the lag, the hackers or the poor support from Z2live. The game doesnt appeal to me anymore as it became more of a chore to get higher skill rank and new planes.Ive gone on long winning streaks tho I have my many losses( don't take this as an opportunity to challenge me). I have spent my time mostly in SGAS and RoG because of the wonderful developers REVO. How much of what you post on the official MSW page actually gets read? Well for SGAS I don't need official pages because I have a worker at REVO on my FB. We asked for a Mac version of SGAS and it came out today less than a weeks wait. I know I have no business posting this here but. It's annoying getting requests to play during CTF matches. It didn't take long to realize but you can't fly a loop in metalstorm __&__ try it

    ReplyDelete
  13. Bye..... :( see you @ random CTF..

    ReplyDelete
  14. Damn Ace, was looking forward to rematching. We had some even matches a few days ago. I believe we drew once, 1-0 the second match and 0-1 the third which leaves us tied. Is SGAS any better besides support? I have yet to try it..

  18. Would this plane be lethal?
    I gave this plane suggestion to Z2 through support and they replied this plane us a great idea!!!
    Do this makes me believe they will make it
    My plane suggestion was
    Based on SU-34 (Agility Class)
    MSW name: Raptor
    Stats:
    +8 Missile Reload
    +10 Stealth
    +14 Agility
    +12 Speed

    You might realise that I suggested it on official forums in case Z2 forgets and so other people can see the plane suggestion

    1. I like it, balanced and not overpowered although strong. Nice job, mate.

  19. Hmmmmm....Buy the Warlock (it's only 180) or should I wait for the Cobalt to come back. Decisions, decisions...

    I'm a Reaper/Maurader player, but looking to maybe start using a Weapons class in Vs.


    What say you?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It's your choice WEAPONS CLASS is hard to use if you are used to Agility class weapons class is too slow for me and I'm always killed in them the WARLOCK is a good plane to buy if you are new to weapons class but I'd stick with the reaper or buy the spectre because you can outmaneuver your opponent

  20. Started with C101. I was an F-18 fan growing up, so I took to the Viper when it came out.

    But then the Maurader came along and I really liked the Skull, so I switched back to Agility.

    The Viper was a solid plane back then and really enjoyed playing with it.

    I was on vacation when the Cobalt came out...and didn't play, so I missed that chance for another F-18.

    I don't paricularly like the Warlock's frame, but I do like it's stats.

    Maybe I'll just wait for the next 'better' Agility plane.

    2. Any ideas when the Titan will come out?

      Delete
    3. The tracking bonus seems meh, but the Titan's overall stats look pretty decent. Judging from the bonuses I presume it's a Weapons class. I might get it to see how it compares to Red Widow.

    8. Hey stan, that plane right there above post w/ grey paint on it. That would be 1 of my primary plane in vs. mode, do you see it... :) it looks cool, reminds me of the movie transformers that decepticon robot who transformed to a jet plane .... Shoot forgot his name lol.

      Delete
    9. Damn, forgot too. But it was in the movie "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen". The Jet Plane Decepticon robot didn't like being a decepticon and gave his life to the truck robot.

    1. Nice, keep the ifile up and running so that we can get some more info ahead of time! at least we get to see what's comin and get us ready to farm some coins...

      Delete
    2. I would have bought it if missile tracking was either critical strike, missile reload, energy, or lock on speed. Preferably energy because I do run out of energy sometimes with Liberty so if it's even faster, then it will run out of energy even more quickly I assume. But then again, since there's armor to take more hits, it should maximize power by changing missile tracking to critical strike.

      Delete
    3. @Anony^^...
      Hmmm, I think the titan is way better than your liberty! The only thing that change is the lock speed. which is in my personal opinion armor is way better! Just look at the stats compared to your liberty. +3% DmG, +2% Speed, tied w/ the missile tracking.
      Lock speed of +10% vs Armor +12%.. Armor FTW!

      Delete
    4. I never said Liberty was my main plane wrx ;).
      I was just stating my experience with similar stat plane.
      Don't get me wrong, the armor is great. But looking at the whole bonus stats there's something to desire because it looks to be missile tracking instead of one of the stats I would prefer in a weapons class.

      Delete
    5. Is possible with iFile to change something to make the featured planes appear and so purchase them?

      Delete
  23. Has anyone tried out the warlord yet? Considering this with a RW. To me, the RW seems too common as compared to this. Can anyone feedback it's performance ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I prefer the RW due to critical strike bonus...

      Delete
    2. +1 for RW. Extra energy for weapons should boost energy quite a bit, but I rarely run out of energy, so it means nothing to me.
      Critical strike bonus makes a huge difference in my opinion.

      Delete
    3. Get the warlock (limited edition) .....

      Bought it yesterday and upgrade right away, did 10 rounds in vs mode 6 wins and 4 draws w/ phoenix/banshee/free boost.. All opponents around 30k equip w/ lancers and bisnovat. I must say it's better than my Rw/hawken, the extra bunos energy comes in handy. The warlock doesn't get runout of energy if you use it wisely. The critical strikes of RW and lock range of the hawken are useless if your in a tight dogfight! Then the energy of the warlock comes to play in in circling match. Im an agility pilot and i know how to conserve my energy. Pwned 3 hawkens, 2 RW, 1 liberty, tied w/ rath,spectre,cyclops and cobalt. Today did 2 rounds of the warlock both loss to chinese pilots they just lag so bad :( w/ lower SR 10k than mine. If warlock equip w/ coin missiles in the hands of a weapon ace pilot you better be ready!

      Delete
    4. I disagree with critical strike being useless in a tight dogfight. If you're good, u can kill faster with RW than any other plane. I personally feel u were more comfortable maneuvering more with Warlock because u were less worried about running out of it. If played similarly with RW, u might have killed them faster and might have been able to get a win instead of draws.
      Well at least for me, critical strike isn't useless ;)

      Delete
    5. Are you a coin User, creds or stocks?
      Yes w/ coin missiles and doing backflipping (most weapon pilots do) you will annihilate your opponent so easily.
      Answer this can you defferentiate the ammount of damage w/ critical strikes on how much raams/phoenix damage you would caused to your opponent?
      To killed them faster? Maybe w/ coin missiles... But i'm not a coin missiles spammer...
      30k pilots are not easy as what you think, specially if they are equip w/ coin missiles... NOT A WALK IN THE PARK bro...
      I used my weapons planes and equip it w/ creds and fly it like i'm using an agility plane.

      Delete
    6. Anonymous 2 here with all due respect disagrees with your opinion Anonymous 1 -
      " agility class pilots with exp. do not need much energy to dog fight " 

      I have a RW myself - I know how much damage it can do, and hey ! when I'm in a 
      spektra and the match is about to begin against a RW ( most likely armed with bisnovats ).

      No matter how many times I experience this, I bet it will still scare the crap outta me !!!
      but if iI get pass that danger zone, and get behind you. I sure you'll just hear cannons till you 
      go boom.  My point is as wrx™ mentioned - Critical Strike is useless in a dog fight

      and I consider myself an "Under Average" agility class &  "Average" Weapons class- game player.

      by the way wrx™ - I bought the Warlock as soon as I saw your post - I bought the plane  - I think its one the best instant decisions I made, Thanks 

      A2 to A1 - Roger & Out -  lol, jeez that reminds me of B2 and B1, damn bananas in pyjamas !!!

    7. Anony who says critical strike is NOT useless here.
      I use credit (RAAM) missiles wrx.
      I'm a long time weapons class pilot (who rarely back-flips) with 57k+ SR, so I know what I'm talking about. Critical strike definitely gives me more chance to win instead of a loss or a draw. It works for me, but probably works better for you (and the anony above) with Warlock because you guys are mainly an agility pilot and fly weapons like agility.
      I guess if you don't feel the difference in damaging power, energy would give you the peace of mind of not running out of energy and feel more beneficial than critical strike.
      However, from my experience, when it comes to dealing higher damage and getting kills, combo of damage + critical strike bonus would come on top in the long run.

      But the point is, it depends on your skill/ how you fly. "Useless" is such a strong word and I just wanted a little respect that Critical Strike isn't completely useless and it's very useful for me who doesn't need the peace of mind from energy and would prefer better damaging ability.

      Thanks.

    8. well said ^^ , sorry to upset your feelings about what i said my apology! like everyone said style's make fights... some of my agilty planes doesn't comes w/ bonus critical strikes except for my iron fang and stiletto. spectre, c101, and stiletto are my primary planes in vs mode. that's why i said critical strikes is useless for me coz i don't get to see it that much. 70% of my win in a single match rely on cannon's, 20% no lock hit's, 10% is a sure hit if it's H2H. I teared down my oponents and slowly chooping them
      like meat. i don't respect my opponents pilots if they are equip w/ coins missiles.. but for you! i salute you 57k SR who only used raams... thumbs up! i don't get to see much 50K SR weapon pilots above who only used creds, some off them are in the advantages side! so whoever you are Hope to see you in MSW skies vs mode..
