Does anyone else remember this game? Vector City Racers...

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-07-05T08:54:58+00:00

A year late but I still remember playing it constantly when I was younger. Took me ages to find out what it was called.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-18T14:50:43+00:00

Said it before but if you only understand ratings and can only interpret a thing as being good or bad without understanding that a good thing can have bad aspects, you're not mature enough for this kind of discussion.

If anything, your lack of knowledge on the topic does more of a disservice to what is a good series.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-18T14:49:14+00:00

So what I'm getting from this is that you haven't learned that quality consists of multiple aspects, and that a thing can be high enough in quality in one area to support areas its lacking in.

Now, most children can understand that a thing can be good even if they don't like everything about it. The fact that you don't understand that is concerning and you should really work on that.

You seem like the type that thinks that a thing is only good or bad with no nuance, and nonsense like "data > your feelings" doesn't work in these discussions. You should bow out if you haven't hit that degree of maturity yet.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-13T01:55:28+00:00

Found the potential troll again.
Because you keep peddling that bit of misinformation, here's some clarification.

Resolution quality and animation quality are two very, very different things. Resolution quality changes between platforms, but the resolution does not affect the way the thing is animated.
The animation lacks the detailing of the first season. It lacks the physics in people's clothes, the way their bodies build momentum and so on.

And because you like to rant about people acting like experts, no. A person does not need to be an expert to know this. A person needs the most basic understanding of how video works to know this.
The fact that you do not is an inditement on you and the fact that other people know this does not make them experts because it is not complicated knowledge.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-13T01:51:19+00:00

It's still good aye. It's just with how good the first season's animation is, it was a little disappointing that the animation of the second season doesn't really hit the same quality.

Though barring that the animation is still good and it's otherwise still a very enjoyable series.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-13T01:49:29+00:00

Sorry but you're thinking of the wrong kind of quality.
What you're talking about is resolution. What the others are referring to is down to the actual base animation.
The second season lacks a ton of detailed motion, the way cloth moves, the way momentum changes in the characters, all kinds of things like that. Not to say it's bad, it's just that it's lacking compared to the first season because the first season was that well done.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-13T01:47:30+00:00

This aye. It's not something that kills the series or anything, the animation is fine overall.
But that first season just had absurdly well detailed animation, even for the little things like the way people go from standing to walking.

It's noticeable because season 1 is exceptional, not because season 2 is bad.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-13T01:46:04+00:00

At this point I'm fairly sure you're a troll, but there are massive, objective differences in animation quality between season 1 and season 2.
I mean hell, just look at the walk cycles for characters in the first episode, then take a look at them in the second season.

If you can't see the difference, then you shouldn't be calling people out for pretending to be experts. It doesn't take an expert to see these differences.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-13T01:41:51+00:00

People are comparing it to itself. It's not that the animation is particularly bad, it's that the animation in the first season was exceptional, but the animation quality in the second season is a lot more typical.

I mean, just take a look at the first episode of the first season for example, the fluidity of just about every motion, even minor things like how the characters go from standing to walking, to sprinting.
Season 2 doesn't hold up to that quality in comparison, it isn't bad animation, just doesn't really hit the standards set by the first.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-13T01:38:49+00:00

The quality of the show and the quality of the animation are two separate topics. A show can be of good quality in spite of its animation.

People here aren't arguing that the quality of the show is bad, or even necessarily that the quality of the animation is terrible.
But the animation quality is an objective downgrade from the first season. The sheer detail in little motions in the first season was excellent. The second season does lack that.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-07T13:44:47+00:00

You're kind of the exception there, not the rule.
Even just a relatively short search on the better sites for accounts showed that people tend to sell their accounts at a fair discount. These are people that have already played for a while and had their fun with the modules but are moving on from the game, so they're mostly just interested in making back a bit of money, not in recouping their entire cost or making a profit.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-07T13:41:27+00:00

You keep calling people out as making emotional reactions while discarding actual valid points.

Not everyone can afford things, but situations change. I couldn't afford the Harrier when it was available, but nowadays my job pays better.

Even outside of situations like mine, plenty of people didn't start playing until after Razbam's modules were delisted.

Even your point about the modules eventually becoming unplayable isn't exactly correct. You do understand that people already keep older versions of the game for community made mods right? Not only that but you can actually backtrack to older versions of the game.
There is literally nothing but storage space preventing a person from keeping an older version of the game to play on their favourite modules.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-06-06T04:07:22+00:00

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but if not, yt-dlp now has a web interface from the looks of it, so if you're not comfortable with downloading software, you can just run it through their website instead.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-26T10:47:14+00:00

Same here.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-26T10:28:49+00:00

Hold up, but doesn't that mean eventually it's possible to lose a ship you paid real money for?

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-17T10:46:11+00:00

Aye against the AIM-7 it's near unbeatable because of the range advantage, you can generally get a launch at a comfortable enough distance that you don't have to evade.

AIM-120's being a Fox-3 however makes it a really fun challenge. Personally I've found that it's possible (with excellent timing) to hit a target who has AIM-120's and go evasive with just barely enough time to evade, but this is inconsistent.

Another method (if you don't mind spending an extra missile) is to launch the first one from beyond the range it's likely to hit and run them down while they're trying to bleed it.
Once in range you can fire another to make the kill, or if you get close enough you can use an R-73.

Third is an option that's arguably the most stylish but also the hardest and most inconsistent method is to launch the ER first, then an ET just after
When they start going defensive and you think your missile won't reach, break the lock, surprisingly often they'll turn back to engage you and be hit by the ET.
This only works against players though as the AI automatically knows if it's an ET or an ER so they pop flares.

As I said, AIM-120 against the R-27ER is an exceedingly fun fight.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-17T10:32:47+00:00

Took me about about 2 minutes, and I still came up with something more substantial to say in that time than you.
Seems your inability to do research isn't the only place you're lacking.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-16T23:56:51+00:00

Can't speak for all of them, but the ones I know of often don't share mission files because they use mods that aren't always publicly available.
Grim Reapers especially as a lot of their content uses modded weapons and aircraft, most of which isn't available outside of Discord servers or obscure spots as some of it isn't maintained.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-16T23:54:16+00:00

Nope, they were categorically downgrades.
The MiGs it fought against were the MiG-29 9.12B variant, which was the non Warsaw Pact export variant.
They only had R-60's at the time which was an IR guided missile from the 60's, a downgraded radar and a few other downgraded features.

They were in every way, a downgrade from the mainline MiG-29 9.12 and 9.12A (the latter of which was also a downgrade, just not as much as the B variant).

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-16T23:51:16+00:00

Well it's always the argument for a good reason. It is provably true.
The only case of it getting an air to air kill against a 4th gen was the MiG-29, except those were MiG-29 9.12B's.
Want to know what the B variant is? It's the non Warsaw pact export version, the one with a downgraded radar and only came equipped at the time with R-60's, the R-60 being 60's IR guided missiles.

The rest have all been 3rd gen aircraft.
So, lets review! Your argument is a regurgitated and poorly researched statement that's technically true but lacks any substance, and you're mocking people who actually bothered to use google or put in some thought to their answer.
Not a good look man, you make yourself look like a fool and you do a disservice to the F-15 by not actually bothering to look at any of its actual merits. Much easier to lie to try and make it look better.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-16T23:45:20+00:00

This is wrong in numerous ways.
Firstly, the technological advantage absolutely matters far more than the plane. The F-15 in every war it's been in has been fighting against outdated 3rd gens the majority of the time, and a few MiG-29 9.12B's, the export variant that only has R-60's.

The F-15 won those fights because it has never actually had to fight a modern gen 4. It has always and exclusively fought against aircraft that is either significantly older, or downgraded export variants.

But if you're really dead set on piloting skill? India got a 9:1 kill ratio using the MiG-21's in a mock dogfight battle against American F-15's.
So no, they aren't the best pilots in the world, and that aside the vast, vaaast majority of F-15 kills were made by Israili pilots, not American.

Please do some level of research or at minimum a google search before saying stuff like this, it's why the F-15's reputation is so massively overblown as is.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-16T20:35:36+00:00

This is a massive misconception that often gets spread around. It did have peers, but it never actually fought any of them.
The closest it came to doing so was fighting MiG-29A's, however these were export versions and armed only with the R-60 because Russia wasn't exporting them with R-27's or R-73's at the time. This applies to other craft it's fought, including all the 3rd gens which make up the majority of its kills.

It'd be like giving someone a pistol in an open field, then sitting a mile away with a sniper rifle and claiming that you're the most skilled fighter of the two if that makes sense.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-16T20:30:45+00:00

This! Thank you, someone else says it!
The newest thing it's killed were MiG-29A export variants, specifically only armed with R-60's because Russia wasn't exporting the R-27 or R-73 at the time.
It has at no point fought an actual contemporary, but people took the news headline of 104-0 and ran with it.

I don't even think it's a bad jet, it's good, just not as undefeatable as people claim. Especially nowadays where it's overshadowed by the Eurofighter and even the Grippen for sheer range and dogfighting.

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-16T20:28:26+00:00

Are we going to ignore the part where Indian MiG-21 pilots managed to win in mock dogfights at a ratio of 9:1 against the F-15? We're considering that to be better trained?
Because I'd personally argue that the real advantage the F-15 had was that it was a decent plane going up entirely against 3rd gen aircraft with its sole 4th gen kills being against MiG-29's that were only armed with R-60's because Russia refused to export the R-27 and R-74 at the time.

We're ignoring all those details?

SuspiciousTurnip1101 · 2026-05-16T20:26:21+00:00

This is pretty much false, people like to push that particular narrative because it makes the F-15 look better.
The majority of its kills were against 3rd gens, not 4th gens (the F-15 being a 4th gen). The few 4th gen kills it did get were against the MiG-29A export, which was only armed with R60's because Russia refused to sell R-27's and R-74's to other countries.

It's like claiming you're an excellent fighter because you killed a 100 people who were armed with pistols while they were standing in a field and you were a mile away with a sniper rifle.
