ATAG guys- thanks for the fun today. I had a blast flying red, trying to find contacts as they straggled in at low level and hit their targets.
Comments- the planesets seem okay, they are fairly well matched except the 110's are very hard to catch.
Navigation is a b*tch- there are too few landmarks to use inland to find your way around, especially after you've been in a furball. I suggest you move the targets nearer to the coast (north or south) to aid line-of-sight navigation for those of us who cannot use the nonsensical compass in Spits and Hurri's.
The lack of assistance from ground controllers is a killer- the LW boys can rampage across the landscape with nothing to give them away, especially if they stay low. Historically the LW could hit and run targets near the coast without too much interference, but once overland observer corp would track them.
Nearly all the engagements i got into were at mid alt, because i could spot the target and engage. Meanwhile all the sneaky ones were easily getting past me down low, i didnt realise they'd come and gone until the message came up saying 'target destroyed'.
I realise it's a limitation of the game and i'm not sure how you'd fix it. I assume you put the airfields further back to allow red players to get alt before engaging, but it wasnt really turning out that way.
A very positive thing however was there was much less strafing of red bases by blue vulchers.
Thanks guys.
