Plus I found and know a lot of glitches and easter eggs in this game. I currently Don't remember all of the glitches and easter eggs I know, but I'll add in later versions, when ever I can think of some glitches and easter eggs. Also feel free to email me if you have any comments, suggestions or glitches/easter eggs to add, just no spam! Oh and please let me know if you cannot recreate any of these glitches, some I haven't tried out myself or they're really hard, my email is Koebenator@shaw.ca. Anyways I hope you like my FAQ ============================== 1.1 Version History ------------------------------ month/day/year - (03-14-07) added glitch 2.18- 2.22, added easter egg 3.9, also fixed some grammar (Still working on it) and Fixed the description for the Yo-yo BCM.... I hope >_< ============================== 1.2 Air Combat Maneuvers (ACMs) ------------------------------ I thought I might give out some tips and stuff before I get to glitching. Aircombat maneuvers, you use for dogfighting and stuff - Basic combat maneuvers: Immelman and split S: I always get these two mixed up so I thought I'd describe them together; one of them is where you do a half loop up, then roll over to become upright, the other is opposite, you roll upside down and do a half loop downwards Yo-yos: there are like two types, one where you are zooming on your target and you pull up to prevent an over shoot, and the other you go in a slight dive to zoom in on your target. The first one is simple, just pull up at the right rate and turn to the left or right then pull down back on your target (though I don't know who behind you would fall for that trick) the other one you dive at then pull up. loop: Just pull the stick back until you fly level upright again, you should all ready know this ;) - Air Combat Maneuvers Snap roll: Basically if you hold this maneuver you a crazy cork screw dunno if so in real life :(. What you do is pull back on the stick diagnally and turn the rudder in the direction you want to do the maneuver Rolling Scissor: A crazy maneuvering sequence (And dogfight) where a plane and it's opponent are doing barrel rolls until one of the two gets on the other's six. However this maneuver doesn't translate well in the game Half Scissor: An insane tight maneuver that is hard to execute, I don't even know How I do it, but I'll ask someone who does first chance I get ============================== 1.3 Using Rockets ------------------------------ Rockets can be used for two things: For ground taragets (However useless for online) and taking out other planes, the useful part :) There are also three ways to use them against planes, on head-ons, turn fights and when you flank a plane. Head-ons are easy, just use the gunsight and your sights to aim. However flanking and turnfighting with rockets are hard. Well, it's actually a breeze if you practice with it \||/(>_<)\||/. For Flanking you ignore your gunsight that you use to target with the guns, rockets have a different velocity, it's actually hard for me to describe how far you need to head off your gunsight, just estimate where you think it'll go, and if you're off, watch how far or how less you're shot was, then try again, eventually you will be able to guess with 80-90% accuracy If you figure out the velocity of the rocket while in a sharp turn, this will be a cake walk, and it's deadly! Do the same when you flank, estimate the trajectory of the rocket and you will eventually should no problems when doing this technique =============================== 2.0 The glitches ------------------------------- Let me know if any of these are duds (note: Most of these glitches can only be performed online and/or Multiplayer) +=============================+ : 2.1 Air to Air Bombing : ------------------------------- Founder: Invis, JKERR effectiveness: ***** Difficulty to set up: 4/10 Recreated: Yes Parameters: Have a plane with a bomb that's it Description: A bomb blows up a plane in one hit instructions: There are many ways to do it: My way and JKERR's way, (Well all the other ways were by JKERR too, except the stalling one ): 1. My way: in a head-on or behind the plane, scrape the bottom of your plane along the top of the other plane and at the split second drop a bomb and boom! (Warning! Causes invisibility (Glitch 2.9) ) 2. JKERR's way: In a head-on have an altitude advantage over your opponent, then release the bomb just before you come in contact with the enemy plane. 3. JKERR's way V2: Same as #2 except fly upside down and have a lower altitude than the other plane 4. Spin: If you're being chased, fly up and spin while dropping the bombs 5. Stall: Fly up (Must have plane that can stall) unleash your bombs and hopefully some unsuspecting plane will try to take advantage and Kaboom! Will blow up the unsuspector, you could also stall while dropping bombs and anybody gullable enough will follow 6. Negetive Gs: Go in a negetive G dive or loop while having warspeed on, and the bombs should stick to the wings, this can be effective when someone is chasing you +============================+ : 2.2 Pulling out of a stall : ------------------------------ Founder: ACE"KOEBEN", unknown effectiveness: *** Difficulty to set up: 2/10 Recreated: yes Parameters: Have any plane with a bomb and it can stall Description: Going into the bombing view will allow you to pull out of a stall instructions: From what I've tested, you can do this anywhere. Just grab any plane you want, as long as it has a bomb and it can stall. First go up at a higher altitude, stall, then go into the bombing view by pressing the select button. If it worked correctly you should be flying level and not stalling, this does not work all the time, like you will sometimes will continue dropping out of the sky. You can also go into bombing mode if you're in a dive that you think you can't pull out of +============================+ : 2.3 Pulling out of a stall2: ------------------------------ Founder: ACE"KOEBEN", unknown effectiveness: ** Difficulty to set up: 6/10 Recreated: unknown Parameters: Have any plane that has rockets and can stall Description: The secondary target cam can also help out of a stall instructions: First grab a plane that can stall, and has rockets. Get in the stall, but make sure you stall vetically; any other angle won't work. While you're stalling fire a rocket and hold the fire secondary button to watch the rocket, by the time it dies you should be safe out of the stall. Though it doesn't work all the time :( +============================+ : 2.4 Invincible bomber : ------------------------------ Founder: ACE"KOEBEN" effectiveness: ***** Difficulty to set up: 8/10 Recreated: unknown Parameters: So far I only know you need it to 2 player split screen online, both players on the same team and one is in a B25H Mitchel Description: The bomber can't be shot down by anything instructions: Have it 2 player split screen, one person is in a B25H Mitchel. The person in the Mitchel must stay in the bombing view mode. The other player starts to collide into the Mitchel until he can no longer do it; like your plane will get stuck along the bomber and it should be shaking as it's doing it. This is how you know it worked, now for a test start gunning the Mitchel and he shouldn't take any damage, then fire rockets at him he should still not take any damage, then drop a bomb, he should still be alive, and totally ivincible :D. The only way get out of it is to get out of bombing mode, you will then no longer be invincible. Please don't do this gitch in games with other people tha aren't in on the glitch, it's unfair and cheating +============================+ : 2.5 Under water flying : ------------------------------ Founder: ACE"KOEBEN" effectiveness: * (Kinda pointless but it's pretty cool to see) Difficulty to set up: 9/10 Recreated: Yes Parameters: Fly in a bomber, and have the level at the coral sea (the best level for the glitch Description: It will appear to other planes that you are flying under water instructions: First get a bomber (Preferably the B-25H Mitchel) and have the level in the coral sea (it's the best one for it). Now fly low along the water and pull up to stall (You want to be around 300ft when you stall). Wait a split second then quickly go into bombing mode, it's difficult to achieve because you may stall too fast when in the bombing mode and crash, you can't if you're under water but other people can see you under the water. When you are under all you see is water, the stall sign and your bomb scope up close. If you get out of bombing mode you'll crash, to get out of the water increase speed and you're plane will rise out of the water +============================+ : 2.6 Bounce off the bridge : ------------------------------ Founder: unknown effectiveness: * (A regret, but still a glitch) Difficulty to set up: 1/10 Recreated: Yes I believe so Parameters: Have the level set up at Kaven Island Description: Your plane will bounce off the bridge completely draining health instructions: Take any plane it doesn't matter, go on the Kaven island level and to where the large wooden bridge is. Now just dive on the bridge, if you have full health you will bounce off the bridge destroying a segment of it and your health will be completely drained +===========================+ : 2.7 A.I. Space flight : ----------------------------- Founder: Hellcat, JKERR and ACE"KOEBEN" effectiveness: * (Still pointless but fun) Difficulty to set up: unknown Recreated: yes Parameters: Not much is known, but have the human players USN and the A.I. IJN in a Scratch-one-Flat Top game. Make sure there is like only one or two fighters in the game and the rest of the planes available should any of the following: B6N jill, B5N kate, TBM3 Avenger, D4Y Judy, and the Emily and Catalina Description: A glitch (Still not known exactely how to do) where the A.I. start climbing up in the air, and will actually pass the combat zone, they'll actually reach around 40,000ft and still continue climbing, until they disappear instructions: I still don't know exactely how to do this but set up a SOFT (Scratch-one-Flat Top) with 3-4 people in it. Make they're all on one team: USN and the rest will be A.I.s on the other team: IJN, make sure the room is closed (all the slots are full so no one can enter the game). Have two fighters at the most and make sure the rest of the planes are divebombers, torpedo bombers or flying boats (Catalina and Emily). Start the game, now every body (USN) start killing each other and eventually it's like the A.I. will just give up and fly away. +============================+ : 2.8 A.I. Acting Weird : ------------------------------ There are many weird things the A.I. do. These three are the craziest: +============================+ [a) Terrible Tempest ; ------------------------------ Founder: ACE"KOEBEN" effectiveness: ***** (Watch out for this puppy) Difficulty to set up: 1/10 Recreated: yes Parameters: Give an A.I. the base model Tempest (Tempest mk.II) in a dogfight Description: in head-ons with the A.I., it's guns will tear you up in less than a second instructions: Give one A.I. the Tempest Mk.II in a dogfight and watch out! unless you have a death wish +============================+ [b) Passive Mustang ; ------------------------------ Founder: RMcSlash effectiveness: **** (good for target practice) Difficulty to set up: 1/10 Recreated: unknown Parameters: Set up a game with A.I. give them all P-51D Mustangs Description: The A.I. Won't shoot at all instructions: Set up a game, with A.I. have them all in P-51D Mustangs, they won't do anything +============================+ [c) Crashing in CTF ; ------------------------------ Founder: unknown effectiveness: *** (entertaining) Difficulty to set up: 1/10 Recreated: unknown Parameters: CTF with A.I.s in a level with terrain Description: A.I.s fly low in CTF and sometimes they actually crash instructions: Start a Capture the Flag with A.I.s in level with terrain, Iwo Jima works, when you watch an A.I. in CTF, it actually flies low and some times crashes XD +============================+ : 2.9 Invisible plane : ------------------------------ Founder: unknown effectiveness: * (it's cheap) Difficulty to set up: unknown Recreated: Happens almost every day Parameters: none Description: When somebody gets bombed, shot down, you collided with him or you hit the plane with a rocket, sometimes the person turns invsisibe to radar instructions: When you bomb somebody or the other things in the Parameter, they sometimes turn invisible, to your radar and you cannot target him, and guns won't kill the person, the only way to fix the problem is for the person invisible to crash. This is an extremely unfair glitch, but fortunatley most people will be a good sport and crash. +============================+ : 2.10 Obstructions Return! : ------------------------------ Founder: unknown effectiveness: (Just aesthetics) Difficulty to set up: 1/10 Recreated: yes Parameters: Don't host the game, the best level to have it at is Pearl Harbor Description: Buildings and stuff the you have blown up will actually return instructions: First don't host the game, have it at Pearl Harbor, it's got the most things to blow up. First blow up stuff, then leave the game and return. Back in the game every obstruction will be back in one piece, more things to blow up! ^_^ +============================+ : 2.11 Argh! : ------------------------------ Founder: ACE"KOEBEN"? effectiveness: ** (annoying) Difficulty to set up: 1/10 Recreated: yes Parameters: Have the level set up at Kaven Island Description: If you fly close over the Pirate ship, you will blow up instructions: Why did I name this Glitch Argh? Well Pirates say argh and it's an annoying glitch. First set up a game on Kaven Island, then fly over to where the pirate ship is, fly low above it you will blow up! The code that makes you crash was a little big over the ship +============================+ : 2.12 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! : ------------------------------ Founder: ACE"KOEBEN" effectiveness: *** (very funny) Difficulty to set up: 3/10 Recreated: yes Parameters: Have two people in bombers Description: While in bombing mode, and watching your plane in a different view; as you collide with the other bomber which should also be in bombing mode your plane will spin like crazy instructions: Have you and another person start any game both in bombers (Betty, Marauder and the Mitchel) and fly at the same altitude, both go into bombing mode. Now you wanna see this so watch your target (The other plane) and when you two collide, you will spin like crazy! +============================+ : 2.13 Bonzaaaaaaiiiiii! : ------------------------------ Founder: ACE"KOEBEN" effectiveness: ** Difficulty to set up: 5/10 Recreated: unknown Parameters: Fly in any plane in a SOFT Description: As you get shot down and hit the carrier, you will see inside it instructions: In a SOFT, start dive bombing in any plane and if you get shot down at the right spot at the right time, you will be able to see the inside of the Carrier +============================+ : 2.14 Carrier Repair : ------------------------------ Founder: unknown effectiveness: * Extremely annoying Difficulty to set up: Requires a laggy game Recreated: Yes Parameters: Laggy game in a SOFT Description: Bombs will do a chunk of damage to the carrier but suddenly it will repair itself a bit more than before the bomb impact instructions: First of all the game needs to be laggy, get in a dive bomber or fighter bomber and make runs on the carrier, if you make a large enough impact with the bombs, you will take out a huge chunk but then the health will increase before the bomb hit the carrier. Extremely annoying. How not to avoid it ;) +============================+ : 2.15 Torpedo Bombs?! : ------------------------------ Founder: It's been seen for a long time, but it's nature was founded by ACE"KOEBEN" effectiveness: * Does nothing Difficulty to set up: 1/10 Recreated: yes Parameters: SOFT, You can only see other people do this Description: Planes that drop bombs (in SOFT) that hit the water appear as torpedos to other people instructions: Basically watch a teammate of yours drop a bomb and hit the water and make sure the game is a SOFT +============================+ : 2.16 Phantom Balloon : ------------------------------ Founder: ACE"KOEBEN"? effectiveness: * it's weird Difficulty to set up: unknown it's caused by lag Recreated: yes Parameters: Unknown, caused by lag Description: A variation to the invisible plane glitch, except you can target the balloon but not shoot it down instructions: unknown +============================+ : 2.17 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee2 : ------------------------------ Founder: unknown effectiveness: Hilarious Difficulty to set up: 6/10 Recreated: yes Parameters: Have a level with mountains Description: your plane will bouce off the ground and spin like crazy at the end of a game instructions: set up a game with a time limit, near the end of the game line yourself near a mountain and if lined up right, you will run into the mountain and spin like crazy XD +============================+ : 2.18 Hovering fire ball : ------------------------------ Founder: unknown effectiveness: *** (Disorientates pilots sometimes) Difficulty to set up: unknown Recreated: yes Parameters: Have a game with other people Description: When someone leaves a game, and while they're smoking, a hovering ball of fire and smoke is left behind insrtuctions: There's nothing the viewer can do, but what causes it is when someone in a smoking plane leaves a game before he can get shot down. When he leaves, a hovering fire ball is left behind. Sometimes Pieces of the plane the person was in gets left behind with the fire ball, I once saw an entire fuselage of an SBD-4 Dauntless and the cowling and wing of a P51 +============================+ : 2.19 All Flame and no smoke: ------------------------------ Founder: unknown effectiveness: (aesthetics) Difficulty to set up: (you don't when it'll happen) Recreated: yes Parameters: Have a Fox and Hounds game Description: The plane is on fire but it is not smoking instructions: Unknown, sometimes in fox and hounds if you get shot up, your plane will catch on fire but there will be no smoke, when there should be. +=============================+ : 2.20 Flares in the water : ------------------------------- Founder: unknown effectiveness: (looks odd) Difficulty to set up: unknown Recreated: yes? Parameters: Have a Fox and hounds set up Description: when you crash as the fox, sometimes the indigo flares are left behind in ball shapes in the water where you crashed instructions: First, become the fox, then crash while in a verticle dive.

I haven't tested it yet but in this one game I was the fox, the other dude was in a Betty and couldn't keep up with me. So I started shooting bonus balloons, and looked at the score board. I noticed that I didn't get any points at all. I don't what caused this or if it's a glitch all this time +=============================+ : 2.22 Double Respawn : ------------------------------- Founder: Many effectiveness: ** (if you're the person behind) Difficulty to set up: ??? Recreated: yes Parameters: Two people must die at the exact same time and respawn at the exact same time Description: Two people will respawn at the same place, the person behind can inflict good damage and the other will get sent flying out of proportion instructions: My favourite glitch, nearly impossible to set up.
