What's with al this crybabies taking shots at ATAG like tey owe you something?
Aren't you fools forgeting that, without the guys from ATAG, tying so hard to keep a solid server runing great, while the game was close to garbage, this game would have been dead vor a long time. At least the online part of it.
ATAG server, and the people working hard to keep it runing , with the endless stream of bugs, from patch to patch, is in large part the reason you have an online community still active.
Vulching is part of the air wars, and it is part of the game. Get used to it. Front line bases were always visited by enemy planes. The Russian airforce was basically raped on the ground at the begining of the war. The il2's were constantly attacking enemy airfields troughout the war.
After ten minutes of warm up and 20 minutes flight in a bomber, when I get close to the enemy targets, if I have escorting fighters, I'll always ask them to try to suppress the airfield close to the target until we get the bombs out. That means shooting at anyone that even thinks about taking a plane up to interfere with our mission.
On ATAG there are plenty of bases away from the action, to take off without any danger.
I thought this was common sense by now, after so many years of online playing.
No matter what flying online game you play, it's always been this way.
