It does seem to involve flying around and around, never seeing another plane, and waiting for my fuel to run out. lol I am sure things will improve.
I tell a lie..... I did meet at least one other player yesterday. I was approaching the English coast, had a funny feeling in the back of my mind that something wasn't right, turned around to check my six and saw a flash of gunfire and..... BAM.
Oddly enough, even being mercilessly slaughtered by an unseen opponent was rather fun! I'm beginning to suffer from Fanboyitis. 
I'm in two minds really..... I'm not sure I could go back to less than full realism but I can see how the choice of an "Arcady" multiplayer experience could attract a lot more players.... also it would offer the chance for a bit of mindless fun before the old grey matter is ready for all that multitasking and seemingly unavoidable flaming death. |
Volksieg,
In the ATAG server you can have plenty of action - not quick, I admit
- by:
1. Flying multiengine and going at the ground targets. Blenheims, 110's, Ju-88 are relatively easy to learn.
2. Escorting your bombers: 9 out 10 they will be intercepted by enemy fighters, and
3. Waiting for AI bombers, they follow predictable paths and normally fly around 4 km.
4. Harassing enemy bases ... their CAP will be on your 6 in 30 secs as angry wasps, you'd better go in 2-3 and practice deflection shooting a lot
. Look at MK.Mr.X videos on youtube be for hints
To do the above you need to study a bit the map, and understand the hot spots.
Cheers,
Ins
