Damn, man. I 4-shipped R-Type Delta again. The kicker is none of the deaths came at difficult parts. I died on the stage 2 boss. I died right before the last checkpoint on stage 6, just as I pressed the delta weapon button (or rahter, before it, since it didn't go off). Then I died immediately in the tunnel right after the restart by getting shot from the front.

Anyway, my current war record is:

Times Played 132
Hours Played 70:40:55
Destruction Rate 72%
Wave Cannon Energy Used 309650
Times Delta Weapon Used 721
Avg Score Per Ship 26242
High Score 751654

I've been playing on Normal for the last 30 hours or so.
