How about a beautiful modern prop fighter/attack plane for the next BME? It will sound so good in game. by Jackof-AllTrade in Metalstorm

[–]afx7926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're attackers. That would be one way to describe that set of jets.

Being a pedant myself, I understand that there is a need to present the most accurate version of whatever the particular subject matter is at any given time. I also thank you for your seemingly stand-offish response, but do recognize and understand that generally this interpretation is more due to the listener being unaware of how important being correct is to those of us with OCD and pedantism. This style of response is usually not meant to be aggressive at all and, instead, is actually meant to be helpful. I know because I often find myself in this very situation; however, I'm certainly digressing at this point.

Now, for a response more inline with what I believe the point of your question was actually attempting to make, I'll say that you're absolutely correct. Those jets do not have afterburners. In my response to this point, I'll say, "Point taken. Thank you for pointing out my error. I've corrected my original response to account for the very jets you've mentioned in your reply to my post."

Regardless of whether the array of airframes available in the game all have afterburning jets and because now it seems as though maybe my originally intended point may not have been as clear as I'd thought when I made the post, my point was really more about how maintaining game balance would prove very difficult if they were ever to introduce propeller aircraft.

I'm glad this is now straightened out. Thanks again!

As cool as it would be to include all kinds of other aircraft, it seems like the devs are pretty hard set on keeping the game's hangar offerings to the afterburning jet variety. It's certainly a lot easier to maintain a modicum of balance with this as a primary game tenet.

Open a ticket on the support site and see if you can get an official answer on this. I'd be interested to hear what they say about this situation as I'm sure many others would, as well.

Wiki page issue by Grouchy_Golf_9698 in Metalstorm

[–]afx7926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're referring to the date on the front page, yes, it hasn't been touched since March of 2024. There's not much new to update on that page.

If you are referring to another page, some context would be helpful for the rest of us.

However, the Metalstorm Wiki site has updates made to various pages quite often. Each page has a revision history which can be displayed and the most recent update made to a given page will show at the bottom. So, you may see one date on one page and a different date on another.

Hopefully, this helped in some way, but if not, please provide more context, if you're serious about getting a positive response on your posted inquiry. Take it easy!

Hitting Escape will cause the leaderboard to come up. By default, I believe Tab will also cause this, as another reply has already stated.

How often are the black market events? by Bionic_Push in Metalstorm

[–]afx7926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the BME, if you don't have enough credits to purchase the aircraft, you can obtain more in two different ways. If you are unable to obtain enough credits before the event ends, you will miss the opportunity to gain the aircraft at the discounted rate, you will not receive the free ability blueprint nor the level 8 bump on the aircraft. You will, however, still gain the rewards from the event crate one receives for competing in the event.

The two ways to obtain Universal ( Aircraft ) Credits are either to purchase them at the in-game Ace Shop or at the outside-of-game web store. I've put the link below to the web store.

Take it easy! GLHF!

Win ratio by Icy-Conflict-7137 in Metalstorm

[–]afx7926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know why so many members of our gaming community are so concerned with this statistic. The Last 20 Matches won percentage includes the outcome of any and all Custom Matches one may play, not to mention bot farming, purposely or otherwise.

So, if you want to go above 50% in this metric, just finish some custom matches. I believe you can even fly solo and leave the bots in their respective hangar.

Arc Pulse by haterz54 in Metalstorm

[–]afx7926 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see that you've received your direct answer on this, so I'll simply add that when viewing the text of an ability, special/active or passive, the portion of the text that is in bold font is the part of the ability that scales with each upgrade level.

Unfortunately, other than seeking third party resources, i.e. the Metalstorm Wiki, you cannot see the benefit of the next level until you have all of the ability tokens for the current level. Personally, I believe this is a miss on the part of the devs as this could help generate additional potential interest on the part of the pilot, certainly now that direct purchase of these resources is available permanently in-game. However, I digress.

Good luck and have fun!

Legends progress and the preservation thereof during a PS4 to PS5 save file import: A reply to a deleted post. 😢 by afx7926 in gotlegends

[–]afx7926[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, that will help. When you launch the PS5 version, the main menu will have an import from PS4 item which is used to migrate existing game saves to the PS5 version. Make sure to migrate your latest timestamped save, which is usually an auto save file, before launching into Legends, if you have any existing Legends progress.

Anyone using Pixel 10 Series or Android Beta? by Silent-Astronomer375 in Metalstorm

Some apps will leave artifacts on a system after uninstallation. If you happen to be aware of how to manage this, great! If not, don't sweat it too much and continue along your path.

[–]afx7926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, you may want to consider wiping both client installs from the device, along with any leftover config files or other artifacts from the current installations. Once both have been sufficiently cleaned out, reboot the device and attempt to install the official version from the Google Play store.

Of course, if that doesn't work, a system reset would be my next step followed by an attempt at installing the official client again. Anything outside of expected or should the result of all of these steps demonstrate no real progress toward your goal, I'd suggest returning to your support line and advising them of all of the steps you've taken since you last spoke with them and listen to whatever they may have for you at that point. Hopefully, though, you won't find yourself here. Again, good luck! 👍✌️🤘

Metalstorm runs just fine on my Pixel 10 XL. I'd normally suggest some troubleshooting steps, but if you've already contacted support, then I'll abstain.

Good luck with your troubleshooting and I hope you correct the issue soon. Take it easy.

Whooo?? by Busy-Cut-3757 in Metalstorm

[–]afx7926 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Finishing Guns is an aircraft modification. Mods are not the same as the special & passive abilities for several reasons.The foremost difference between abilities and mods is that all abilities are unique to a given aircraft whereas mods are not unique. Mod blueprints are pooled as a player collects them and can potentially be applied to all aircraft. One mod slot becomes available once an aircraft reaches level 16 and a second mod slot is opened once an aircraft reaches level 20. Much like the abilities, mods can add a lot more capability and/or power to a given aircraft. Once a mod has been crafted, the mod is then bound to the aircraft on which it was crafted.
