Ricky it was definitely a human player as there are no AI fighters on ATAG at all. That's the way the sim deals with aerial victories - even after the player lands OK, you get a credit for the kill when he despawns, game saying you have killed an AI plane. Weird I know.

EvangelusE - nice one mate!

As for myself - I've had many good fights on ATAG and many exciting moments, long fights agains good pilots are always great fun (both sides). Most exciting was bouncing 2 Emils, shooting them both down in one pass. In a 109, dogfight against 2 Hurricanes and a Spitfire was very demanding, but the 109 is luckily powerful enough to keep the upper hand. Great sim!

I get a kick out of it every time I strap a 110 to my butt and go bombing stuff! In the last few days I have taken out 2 persuing fighters with the bomb blast of an exploding freighter, it is a classic and surprises the crap out of them when their wings fall off for no apparent reason LOL!

The first time I've started the 109's engine, after I've installed the newest patch!

After that the takeoff was nothing to write about and during the rest of the flight I was cursing the game.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.

Every time I vulch Hawking AFB killing enemy planes on the ground, taking off or prior to their take off.

I don't have the numbers but I estimate that 20% + of my kills are the direct result of vulching... It is always a blast to see all that Flak/AAA firing among with some dogfights around. Usually take off with a bomb (unless I'm using the E1), after destroying ships or ground units I'll go there to empty my guns BnZing, then I'll run home towards the French coast like a girlie dragging Spits and Hurries to be gangbanged by the rest of the LW heading England... Sometimes I'm the one that is gangbanged.

Regards.

PS: Today was looking for trains for about 30 minutes, then a single Hurri jumped me, I then dove to run (as usual) and as soon I reached ground level I couldn't believe what I've had in front of me... The damn train locomotive expelling tons of withe smoke, used a little rudder and Boom!!! I could see the flames surrounding my airplane as it passed by... I was lucky not being caught in the blast.

Yeah that's lovely hobby dude, I very much enjoy hunting clumsy 109s vulching Hawkinge, I estimate that 40% + of my kills are lousy pilots like you climbing right in front of my guns because strafing and flying straight is the only thing they can do in a 109 No offence dude

...waiting for the patch(es).

And almost every time I go online. There simply isn't a sim out there that can match this in the way it simulated the atmosphere of being there. Online FTW, getting better and better by every new patch.

One of my most exciting moments was rising in a Spit Ia to escort a flight of british bombers coming back from France and finding a 109 systematically taking them out with his cannons.

I took my time to climb and get into a nice hidden position and then took off his elevators while he was lining up his next kill.


Other exciting moment was forming up and flying with many other squadron mates during the Sunday campaign recently run. It's thrilling stuff just to know you're all player flown planes in formation.
