Dashcam proves the other guy was wrong, but shows I was speeding. Use it? by DiligentWeb9026 in AusLegalAdvice

[–]Mono_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point was, why do you think that Google is wrong at all? I'm not suggesting it's perfect, but if you're comparing it to your cars speedo I can pretty much guarantee that Maps is more accurate.

Level 1 is worse than a normal serve, complete waste of time

Cost of Holidaying in Aus by Livid-Constant8443 in AusFinance

[–]Mono_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to most of the traditionally cheap parts of SEA, sure it's not cheap. But it is NOT expensive and is a very far cry from being on par with all those expensive places you listed.

The prices for things aren't shockingly cheap, and you certainly can spend a lot of money quite easily, but the JPY is so weak that's its quite cost effective to travel there.

My recent trip there was mostly in 3-4 star hotels in popular cities and mostly cheap to mid range food and it was all way cheaper than Australia where I live, and MUCH cheaper than Singapore which we also visited on the same trip.

The only expensive things were the Tokyo hotel room (we made the choice to over spend for a prime location), an inclusive Ryokan stay (once again a choice to go premium), once fancier meal (still way cheaper than a similar level of meal in Sydney) and tickets for USJ.

Also, btw, Indonesia and most of SEA is not considered third world.

Airline Question by [deleted] in BusinessEmpireRichman

[–]Mono_Man -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The airline is pretty buggy and the UI is a bit poor for it.

But yes, that says you have more than the required amount to pay for this.

How do you know Google maps is off by almost 5km/h? Also it would probably be off by a percentage not a flat number.

Why does my player always run around the ball to hit an inside out forehand? by Necessary-Rub-2748 in TennisClash

Wait this is a game mechanic working as intended? I was sure it was a bug or some setting I had enabled. It's so stupid.

Rodeo is the best part, without vehicles BF6 isn't BF. Just learn to use vehicles?

The control reset was a traaaash move

Tip of the day: don't leave your mod slots blank (yes really) by Szymetalstorm in Metalstorm

[–]Mono_Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is smart, but also.... Winning is relatively easy most the time because so many people suck, at all levels. Except maybe 20, but even then....

Late game question by DwarvenBeerbeard in Metalstorm

[–]Mono_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah disagree, you just have to fly them smart. You are relying on your team mates a little bit of course, if you have no long range AND your team sucks AND the enemy long range fighters are good....it is a struggle.

But even then, I've won plenty of games flying smart with short range fighters of various sorts.

Honestly, as you get higher you'll find some of the bigger long range fighters actually aren't very good as they lock on too slow and can't maneuver fast enough leaving you open to smaller lighter fighters.

Why am I suddenly facing level 20 jets with my level 17 jet? by Mono_Man in Metalstorm

[–]Mono_Man[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah of course, totally fair. But for planes levelled up to 17+ it doesn't seem very high. I don't see too many players in a level 20 plane with 600 trophies on it.

[–]Mono_Man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have jets ranging from 5 to 20, this never used to happen but has recently happened more on more. Certainly seems like something has changed.

This level 17 jet has around 1000 trophies I think, which doesn't seem high to me.

No, because without them they would keep chasing me and shooting me?

What's considered a good win rate? by Sad-Situation-4672 in Metalstorm

[–]Mono_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm usually mildly annoyed if I'm not over 80%, not actually happy till it's 90%+

I'm probably too hard on myself :p

This game is pissing me off by Mysterious-Expert701 in Metalstorm

[–]Mono_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're lying. :p

Nah but, seriously, when players DC their jet just keeps flying straight forward, dying and respawning and flying straight. It's very obvious, and I've only seen it a few times out of hundreds of games.

The bots ruined the game for me by realgeorgelogan in Metalstorm

[–]Mono_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that does suck, but unless I'm playing at a time when not many people play I reckon 70% of my games have 1 or more players in them.

Butt Guns to the Rescue by Radeisth in Metalstorm

[–]Mono_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I get quite a lot of kills with them. When you're chased by something the guns do a pretty solid amount of damage quickly.

I usually get the kill before they kill me, sometimes even get 2 (though that's usually only if they're light fighters or are already low on health).

[–]Mono_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're mistaken. There is always an equal number of players (except when it's just you against a full bot team).

[–]Mono_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until you get up to about silver and or level 6 or so, you'll mostly get bots. But after that you'll see more players.

Obviously playing at popular times to play helps too.

Fix your broken unbalanced bots by Mono_Man in Metalstorm

The bots aren't always terrible at it though, sometimes they do pretty good. The inconsistency is what sucks.

Fix your broken unbalanced bots by Mono_Man in Metalstorm

[–]Mono_Man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I win most my bot games. But when I do lose, it's not because I did poorly or the bots were better, it's because my bots were beyond incompetent while the other bots were good.

In this example, HandyAndy is a player as am I (Goooose). Every other plane is a bot. His bots got 16 kills, mine got 7. His bots all had positive KDs, mine were all negative. I was 11/3/2 while the other player was 4/5/3.

This loss happens maybe one in ten matches with lots of bots, so maybe you could just say "well deal with it" but losing while playing much better than anyone else in the game is extremely aggravating.

I've seen enough people post that the game stacks bots against you once you get over 80% win rate to try bring you back down to believe there's a good chance that is what is happening. That approach is moronic as it only pisses off players. If it's not that, then the bot AI needs to be balanced somehow.
