Hmm, on z26 it works perfect. Did you hit the tanks in the
back?
I can hit them from the back, yes, but if the shields are supposed to
absorb shots then the shot should stop at the shields. For me it goes
straight through the tanks as if there is no collision detection at all
which looks a little weird.
I also have to agree with the other posters that the way the game is now,
it's too hard. When you get cornered with tanks coming at you from both
ends it's impossible to shoot your way out of it because both tanks are
going to be facing you.
The gameplay is just out of balance right now. If the shields took hits
and deteriorated, I think it would help a lot. Them being impervious from
the front is too much of an advantage for them.
Or if there was some way for the helicopter to jump its way out of danger,
hopping over tanks, drop mines or something, that would also help. I
realize that's hard to do with only one fire button...
