Sithspawn, you nailed it.
@pupaxx As unlikely as it sounds, you were unfortunate to have spawned in at the end of the server cycle (although I seem to have a knack for doing that myself). There are several warnings flashed up on the screen, but then anyone who hasn't already exited gets dumped from the Server. The pronounced stutters and freeze ups are the telltale sign that the server is resetting.
I believe one of the cycles begins at 4:30 a.m. for bombers (and fighters) taking off in the pre-dawn darkness. Watch out for the airstrip flares; they are solid objects which can upend you unceremoniously (unlike the yellow placards that you can taxi through without damage).
The ATAG Server is objective-based. Click on the Briefing tab to see what your selected country's (Red or Blue) objectives are. The first country to achieve those objectives "wins the map", the server resets, and eternal glory is yours. Worth bragging to your grandkids someday and even mentioning in your job resumes.
Make sure you're on Teamspeak and hook up with those on the Bomber channel to see if anyone "needs escort". Odds are your offer will be gratefully accepted and they'll give you detailed instructions on where best to spawn and how to hook up with them. (That would be a BAD time to exit and respawn in the opposing country! LOL )
Good luck!
