Well finally went online a few times on atag and I hope it's going to be a source for more than just sight seeing . Barely any lags and zero planes anywhere .Not one . Must have flown around for 45 minutes back and forth across the channel up and down coasts . Luckily there's still offline flying where you can shoot down planes that act like you're not shooting at them . Then again luckily I still have 1946 hsfx6.0 .:cool:

Try again and then report here..failing that add me on Steam and I'll show you where n how...

Yes depending on time zones you do get times where you are 'sightseeing' but its a big map it happens...what do you fly and at what Alt?, try flying in Orbit..it can be very frustrating sometimes but that's what I'm used too even in il2 in 51's

If you want fur balls then I suggest another server

Not sure if you flew Axis or Allied but typically if I go up in a 109 I cruise between Folkestone and Manston at around 6km, back and forth, at low power to save fuel. Usually spot some poor sap climbing up below me within 20 minutes or so.

Failing that, one way to find targets that works every time is to find friendly bombers and escort them over hostile territory. There's always some shmuck who gets target-fixated on the bombers and makes himself into an inviting target.

You can also turn the tables and try to sneak up on the people doing the escorting. Chances are their eyes are on the bombers, so if you come in from above it could be rewarding.

You have to resist the temptation to go in at low altitude. There are always newbies furballing on the deck over the airfields and it never works for them.
