Hi danjama,
Here's some raw footage I took from my Hurricane of "Timboy" (flying a Blenheim) bombing a designated target in Occupied France on ATAG Server #1:

Feel free to explore the ATAG Forum and be sure to to say "hi" while you're there.
While I won't disagree with anyone's views on Cliffs of Dover based on their own and others' perspectives, my own experience with CoD has been vastly different in a very positive way. Like everyone here, I place a high premium on my discretionary time and certainly wouldn't waste it on something that bored me, frustrated me, or even failed to give me great enjoyment.
In the Summer/Autumn of 1940 SE England, if you strapped on a Spitfire or Hurricane and took off on a solo mission over the Channel with no radio two things would likely happen:
1) you would see few or no aircraft
2) you would be shot down by one of (1) above that you never saw
So it is on both ATAG Servers -- it's a HUGE map with low traffic density, even at the busy times of 50+ players online. The trick is to download Teamspeak 3 (a free, easy-to-use comms utility) and come onto the ATAG Channel and introduce yourself. We're a friendly bunch at ATAG and you will find yourself warmly welcomed there. Twice yesterday I met up with a new player, placed ourselves on a private Teamspeak channel, then ran each through a cockpit procedure to get engine started, take off, and then go on a guided tour of the various "hotspots". In one case, my new wingmate, "Dugan" shot down a 109 that fastened itself onto my tail and was target-fixated on me. How can you beat that?
The same applies to bombers. Both ATAG Servers are now objectives-based, with primary and secondary targets on both sides. We have ATAG_Dutch very keen on building a Blenheim squad, and ATAG_Keller the same with Axis Ju 88's, Stukas, He 111's, and ME 110's. Keller also flies a mean 109 when the mood strikes him, but don't tell him I said so! LOL
Sorry for the wall of words here; just a different take on Cliffs of Dover.
