PSN vouchers all sold out already

When you go into a battle and the game ends how do you stay in the same server? I go back to the hangar and when I go to battle it looks for a server again. Or is that how it works?

that's how it works

spookywillow · 13 Dec 2013 at 13:48

So when in a group how do you stay together ?

you create a squad

there is a contacts list you can add people from your PSN to your contacts.

when added to your contacts you can invite them to your squad.

once in your squad they need to press ready, then the host or squad leader can search for a game to place the squad into.

after the game is over you all go back to the hangar and then the process repeats with them all needing to ready up.

if your on tonight we could show you how it's done, are you in the OP list?

it is a bit complicated when your new to it all, i imagine it's all been directly ported from PC so not really user friendly for a console.

you need to use the touchpad for a lot of the contact, squad options, etc. like you would a mouse on a pc.

added you to the OP i'm sure a few of us are going on tomorrow night if your free then.

Yeah I used the pad a bit but didn't really look around.

I'll keep an eye out for you all

The thing I can't master yet is the camera view , I keep getting a view of the under carriage when I make quick sharp manoeuvres

Will send or accept all as friends from the list.
Hope to see you on there this weekend

63 eh? You must know if the game is realistic or not then lol

I noticed when I was on that only premium members can have squads with more than two other people in them.

Is that the case? How does a squadron work in that case? Does that allow you to team up or what are the benefits of one?

THC_SsSsSnake · 14 Dec 2013 at 11:27

Hi Physco
Missed the war by 5 years lol. Im sorry but when
I was testing the game early days squads was
not even part of the testing. I have to admit its all a bit confusing but am looking into it

Psycho Sonny · 14 Dec 2013 at 12:19

Well currently when we have squadded up we have only ever had 3 members online, so couldn't really test to see if more can be added without having a premium account.

Ideally if we can get at least 4 on tonight to test it out it would be great.

Then we can decide what is the best course of action to take.

Premium account is quite expensive by the looks of it but it helps you upgrade faster so you get better planes and upgrades sooner with it.

The game has a lot of stuff to it, it's easy to overlook something.

Wonder if any of you know which ammo is best to use? Universal? That suggests it's good at everything.

totally addicted to this, add me

Psycho Sonny · 14 Dec 2013 at 18:22

I used the free £10 of credit i got from the sun and added a few quid myself to get £12 worth of eagles.

Upgraded all the crews and got 1000 eagles leftover after maxing out all the crews for GB as well.

I don't think it's ideal to switch countries in this game as you have to basically start from scratch and crew and planes will be at a huge disadvantage to others.

So I will save the eagles for now and see what comes of it. Nice to give the developers some cash as well. The game is getting me through the initial launch phase and with BF4 going missing in the post this is the only game I have atm which I like.

Should have fifa by the time I get back from my holiday and hopefully BF4 as well
