Lost twinbrother of the PAC Gunship found - 2PAC Titan Gunships coming to our Server!

Detective Lyra reporting in with hot news!

Appearently there is a HOTFIX out that was sent to Serverproviders to fix up the Gunship spawning issues on Titan maps. Reaper and me were playing on a Titan Suez Server of the "True Born Gaming" community and to my surprise I noticed they had 2 PAC Gunships.

I went to investigate and asked their ADMIN and Forum if they knew any fix for this issue. here are my results:

Now I have noticed that your Suez Titan Server seems to spawn 2 without a problem. Did you tweak anything on your serversettings to make this happen?

P.S. I do apalogize im not that much help. Please check back I imagine someone here has a very accurate answer for you. Thanks again.

Thanks for the answers

I gave this information to our Admin team and I am sure we will soon see a second PAC Gunship spawn on our Titan maps after they are done beating up our Server provider!

Here a picture illustrating what is going to happen in the next hours:

HALLELUJAH!!

Wow, this will make up somewhat for the painful PAC flying rounds. I'll still grumble about its crappy crappyness compared to the Talon, but this is a great find Lyra!

**Aumen1** · 10-23-2008, 03:08 PM

Well done detective Lyra you rock!!!!

**DrakenViator** · 10-23-2008, 03:40 PM

I always wondered about that...

I remember reading about the hotfix shortly after 1.5 came out over on the EA forums. I just figured A: I don't fly much, and B: that our server provider would apply any changes that came down automatically *facepalm*

In short if you need an angry mod to show up at the server host I have a few extra pitchforks and a torch or two I can lend to the cause, like the 8th always says remember to pillage before you burn...

What my rebuttal would be:

Followed by "Whups lol we put on the hotfix and we don't know what went wrong we're working as fast as we can! (Yeah let's go hit up a titty bar)"

Hey Lyra, I hear a lot of people talking about the differences in the gunships. Can someone point me out to a discussion thread on this or give me their opinion? I've often wondered what the difference was but I can't find any discussion thread.

By the way, Kudos for bringing this to the attention of the admins. Hopefully we can fix the situation.

**Arithea** · 10-23-2008, 05:26 PM

Have you done a search on the tactics and mission discussion forum? There's probably a discussion about it there--I think I remember seeing one.

**Anospa** · 10-23-2008, 05:37 PM

In short, the missiles will not track the EU gunship the same way as the PAC gunship, making the PAC one much much much easier to destroy. Other than that and the chin guns, there are no real differences (though the EU has always felt more maneuverable), but the difference separates them A LOT.

ah I see. Thanks!

The missiles don't track as well, ey? Odd.

I'd agree with 'chin' gun preference, though.

**Unload** · 10-23-2008, 08:40 PM

Don't forget the PAC gunship shields do not work correctly about 50% of the time. You may hit shields but still end up at 10% health from one salvo.

**Uranium - 235** · 10-23-2008, 08:54 PM

The PAC gunship is also a bit like flying with a turtle on your back - if you're used to the EU one, you're probably going to smack it on things more often trying to go under tight gaps.

Also, the PAC one uses that lame 'screen' display, and while most everyone just goes to nose-cam view, for those that don't it's there.

However, the PAC gunship looks way better than the EU one, but what can I say, Europeans couldn't make a decent looking aircraft if they tried. Russians know what they're doing.
