    Awesome idea! No issues getting something clean without the eraser falling apart on you, or getting loose on the toothpick? Are you wetting it with alcohol or anything? 

    No don't wet the magic eraser with anything... They can deteriorate too easily. Regarding the tooth pick, you may not even need it, because the eraser can slide off on the one side of the cart that has less room. 

     

    But because it's spongy, you can just cut a thick slice and wedge it in and out pretty efficiently with your fingers.

     

    I do however, suggest combining this tool with the standard Qtip and 90 percent isopropyl alcohol method.

     

    Think of it like giving the cart a dry clean and a wet clean.

    Ok folks, what am I missing here? What can you shoot at? I'm only hitting things with my bombs. Do I have to be at certain altitudes? I feel like you fly faster when you're lower. I read the instructions, so I'm getting a good idea of the high point targets and I'm remembering to fly low on the runways.

     

    For our reference:

    Here's a quick run down that should help. I had some of these same questions when I first started playing a month ago or so.
     

    For the most part, you're going to be bombing the targets below. 
     

    You cannot shoot the surface-to-air missiles that come up at you.
     

    You can dodge them left and right. Or, by diving down or climbing up.
     

    Occasionally, other fighter planes will attack you. They will match your altitude, but dodging left and right still works. 
     

    You can also blast them with your cannons.
     

    It's important to get a feel for what your plane looks like at the various altitudes and what the missiles look like.
     

    It's entirely possible to fly right through a missile if you're sufficiently above or below it.
     

    Hope that helps!

    That's what's great about HSC!  🙂

     

    It's decently entertaining, and changing height is a fun tactic/escape mechanism.  The meat of the game is definitely in target selection, so be sure to check out the instructions for score values.  Also, it's really satisfying when you nail both sides of a bridge! 🙂

    I've gotten pretty good at bridge bombing!  Plus I think you get 1000 bonus points if you do it.

    Definitely need to keep fishing.  With short rounds, fishing (especially double fishing) is really make-or-break on both income and score.

     

    Crops = more people = bad  

    Fishing fleet = same people = good  🙂 

    What.... I never realized crops had a down side!
