So the new Ironman challenge is up and available to fly. Figured it probably deserved a single consolidated discussion topic because people will be talking about it a lot.
I feel like I could beat this comfortably, except for the environmental effects. That’s really what skyrockets this from “hard” to “brutal” in my opinion. Dodging enemy patterns can be hard, but dodging between unpredictable lightning bolts at reduced movement speed is insane. Plus there’s faster overheat, too.
It is Ironman though, so that’s to be expected. I’m wondering how many keys it will reward the winner… hopefully a handsome sum, to compensate the expensive loadouts you might need to earn a placement. I can’t afford to keep sinking keys into it, so if I fly again I’ll probably go light on the equipment and watch my deaths per hour statistic skyrocket.
@VerMishelb - are you doing a full unequipped run, or just 1 life + other perks? (And have you had any luck yet? If so, I might as well stop trying. )
It was harder than what we were thinking! Even if you use SSH in a %100-100 mission, they won’t be so tough and fast. Projectiles of enemies in Ironman competition are so freaking fast, specially bosses. They are die hard chickens and can’t be killed so easily. Eggular item saved me from some attacks. It’s already the only way to not lose.
Double team are the hardest, some bosses when they came together they’re just unfair like infinity chick + Crab V2.0 & Sweater Chicken + Party Time, they need either the screen to zoom-out more or less projectile speed. So what do you think:
Please before voting make sure you flew the waves above:
Screen should zoom-out more.
Projectile speed should be reduced.
None.

This change will apply to some bosses only like Space Crab 2.0 and Sweater Chicken.
The last boss was just bruh, it was so easy with only Big Chicken. I think there should be 2 Big Chickens instead of only one in Double Team, but on the other hand if it came with Iron Chief then one is enough. What do you guys think:
Make sure you played all waves before voting:
2 Big Chickens should appear.
1 Big Chicken should appear(default).
It should be random(between 1&2 Big Chickens).

About lighting: it has a good thing and a bad thing:
The good thing is that when it happens at the end of a wave it saves you some time to collect the food, so get a higher chance of earning the medal and to save your progress too.
The bad thing is that you you’re in a corner and there are bullets coming at you the lightning can block your way get you destroyed.
If you’re not using Plasma then you’re screwed with Cowards. Now that’s the true gatling gun.
I think Ironman should should be given to the players who haven’t bought CHL to punish them for not buying it because it is real hell. This is a joke don’t take it srsly.
Also after I play it I think it needs more than 5 days to clear, 7 days are good.
