I started a "random" axis air mission but there was no confirmation as to where or when to meet the high alt bomber attack... Did or do something wrong or is that point? - Its random.
AA/A - same beef, no need to explain. In fact it is worse than the usual ATAG maps.
The radar/contact reports are mental, spamming every few minutes. Im sure there is a way to limit it in the Conf.ini. I will have to look into that.
Orange Writing..................... I hate Orange Writing across the screen. Its a total immersion killer! Can it not go in the chat?
I know its easy to be negative and hard to be positive and I dont believe I've given it a fair crack of the whip yet. It seems quite allot of work went into it but I dont see anything yet that draws me to it. Will have another go at some point. I can say this though, ATAG are Pioneers of exploring new limits in MP but sometimes "a little is allot..." We always get so much to at once from ATAG this is not always a good thing.

Also thinking the same thing as Farber. I'd been trying to catch the new mission all last weekend with no luck, I kept finding the old mission...why all the hype about this awesome new mission on the forums, yet it's not on the server 24/7. I'd think it'd be on at all times for at least a week just for live testing purposes along with maximum exposure to players. With all the work that apparently went into it, I'd think Channel Command would be ATAG's pride and joy and shown off on constant rotation.
Anywho, I managed to catch it on Monday I believe...4 pilots on the server so I wasn't expecting to see anything or anyone. I tried to get a high alt mission going and was prompted with a vague objective, "LW Bombers heading for Canterbury 15,000ft from French Point 20 minutes" (paraphrasing), I was excited to take off and climb, but wasn't sure if the message meant the bombers would be at French Point in 20 minutes, or at their target, Canterbury, in 20 minutes. I headed to French Point (I took off from Canterbury) and made it to 15k ft well before my destination and saw zero bombers...zero aircraft at all, actually.
I cruised around for about 40 minutes fairly disappointed, especially because a blue pilot was reporting in chat that 3 AI hurricanes just attacked him randomly. I kept hoping for 109s to spawn and bounce me, but to no avail. Never found my bomber intercept objective at French Point, Canterbury, or anywhere in-between. I checked out a low-alt mission and it was to fly low CAP for RAF shipping between Dover and Manston. Hung around a single ship just Northeast of Dover at approx. 6k ft for about 30 minutes and saw nothing. Started my RTB and got jumped by a human 109 on my 6...the fight went sub 10k ft and the anti-air was AWESOME. It was EVERYWHERE. Black poofs all over the place, very immersive. GOOD SHOW. I don't think it was damaging the 109 (we were still moving fast and at around 10k ft) but added a lot to the fight...I lost of course due to the "rocketship" nature of the 109 booming and zooming my genitals off. But kudos on the anti-air implementations!
I'll be trying again this week (if I find the mission in the rotation) and hoping my first experience was just a fluke. I can tell a ton of thought and process went into the mission and I'm excited to see it in action. Great job Wolf!
I guess my only gripe is that the new content isn't in the rotation enough, or on my timezone...maybe I can convince my best-good-friend Bliss (or whomever controls mission rotations) to put the mission up all the time?
