Actually that one is among the top 5 reasons why I greatly prefer offline.

I think you have completely missed my point mate, I am all for historical accuracy but I can't abide people that will always join the side they want regardless of how many ppl are on it, you have to admit 24 v 10 is not great but I still flew anyway.

It's nothing to do with historical accuracy.

At the risk of repeating myself, some adjustment of the map (aircraft positioning) and a change of tactics by the players (its in our hands) will nullify most of the worries.

Think about this. You (or I), flying red, look at the numbers and realise it is 25 blues to 15 reds. How many blues do I actually come across? Maybe 3, 4.... 5? Never 8 or 10. Do I care? I am flying with my buddies. 4 of us, perhaps 6 or 7. The server numbers don't mean a great deal if the enemy aren't working together and we are. Even if they do its unlikely to get too heavy handed against us.

Of course if the blues and reds really got their "stuff" into one sock the numbers would matter. But as they would then be historical we would be exactly where we want to be.

But move the SpitIIa's to a rear field.

Yes Klem, for thos of us who usually fly with our squad mates 2-6 at a time its not a problem but what about the little guys?

They are probably toast no matter which direction the server is stacked.

Yeah, I try to to join up with others in TS since I am the only JG52 guy flying CoD atm ... but I seem to have started going Lone Wolf/Death Wish style.

I have come a cropper when meeting you 56RAF and JG27 guys in your group flights... so much so that when I see a group of 3-4 Hurris or a few 109s with 110s I pee myself... WELL NEXT TIME I AM GOING TO SEND YOU THE DRY CLEANING BILL

Nice to see we are doing it right


Note to all: Would people mind adding those extra key strokes 5./ or even 5 before the JG27. Seems all we get refered to is JG27 which is actually a different unit or several units, depends which way you look at it. Not just you Krupi, allot of people do it. Thanks

Well that's what I was saying before. Try to tie up with other guys on TS. Usually the reds on TS are fairly supportive of eachother, at least they will come to your aid if you ask and they can work out where you are. Its a short step to saying "ther's four of us little guys, lets work together and decide what we'll do before we take off" which actually some of them kind of do. Truth is, some guys just take off to look for a fight and then complain when their shortsighted approach leaves them dead halfway down the runway. Some just want an immediate dogfight and a kill. I don't think that's what ATAG are trying to do.

You know, if guys fly on their own then first of all they're not going to get anywhere near being 'historical' and they probably aren't going to survive too long (I know some will). But if this discussion is going to be about trying to make things 'historical' or even 'sensible' (as in "I don't like vulchers") then flying alone from vulched fields isn't the way to do it. If someone wants to do that then thats up to them but its then a bit of a stretch to come here and complain that things 'aren't right' or are 'unfair'.

You can kill off the vulching argument by not giving them a target. You can improve your chances by working with others and thinking tactically.

As for krupi's dry cleaning bill, 56 aren't gods, we just work together. And you can clean your own trousers

I think vulchers days are numbered, if we get control of AA guns the first thing we will do is get on a gun, clear the airfield, maybe stay and get some target practice in
