Good News and Bad News

[Gollum]

The good news.... I joined ATAG server last night and there were 57 people on. Thats awesome. I really hope the community continues to grow.

The bad news....

A) It is still extremely difficult to find a fight and maintain visual contact on your prey even with 57 people on the server. I constantly see things and they vanish in mid air.

B) Time Bandit has been drafted into the RAF. Last night I spent 45 minutes looking for a fight. I finally found one and dove on a spitfire. He took a shallow banking right and I had the perfect deflection shot lined up. I pulled the trigger watching my rounds heading for his wings... Little did I know, the pilot of this aircraft was the seldom seen but much feared Time Bandit. Just as they were about to demolish his airframe, Time Bandit hit is emergency chronosphere button and slid 2 miles in front of me at an estimated 2000 KPH. After he was clear out of range of my guns he banked a 20 G right turn continuing at 2000 KPH until he was right behind me firing away... I quickly lost my surface controls and plumeted to the earth....

I wish I had a video of this. If the RAF had the Time Bandit on their side the BOB would have been over much sooner.

I love this game but damn was that frustrating. Please fix this soon so playing online doesn't feel like such a waste of time.

Just a friendly warning to my fellow pilots. If you meet time bandit just do yourself a favor and bail out before he gets his finger on that chronosphere button.
