If i do the second part only, the same thing happens, except i may live a few turns less. If i do the same with either, but dont split up, 1 of the faster planes always seems to just dodge the poisen gas, he then either kills or hugley damages, which damages my engines stoping me from escaping, then after the poision gas dies, they switch to the other, which is proberly pretty beaten up already.
ur usaul planes, only 1 has gas, the other 180 turn, both also have boost. If I just go straight for a while, useing boost to keep distance, i only accomplish losing the big winged plane. Then im against a wall, if i split up the planes, the planes gang one, killing it fast, then switching to the other on the next set of turns. (next comment)
1948 mission is impossable, u have 2 planes advancing that are better in almost every way, 1 plane that is about the same stats but with gas bomb things, and 1 of those huge winged planes, and only 2 backup of (next comment)
Firstly this game isent horrible hawkspider, it is a fighter for those guys who play similar games which riped this classic off that want hard battle where ur equaly strong as ur enemy, which is a very rare thing to find.
