I have to say - thanks very much ATAG chaps!

A bunch of us from II./JG53 just had a smashing time on the Axis vs Allies server! Managed to take down a formation of Blenheims and their fighter escort before catching up with some Italians and escorting them for a raid on the Kent coast, taking down a bunch of interceptors south of Folkestone before running off back to base for a well deserved Schnapps or two!

Our only losses were launcher crashes on the user's end so a great job ATAG - and thanks for all the fun!

Very interesting earlier today on ATAG with a few chaps escorting a Blenheim to M2. Another fighter commented about the four planes in formation as he joined the escort. "Four? There are only three of us!" Sure enough, a 109 was closing on the group but was instantly foiled after this. Exactly what TS should bring to the experience - great stuff!

Does 'skins on' cause too many problems on the server? There are a lot of great skins around now, and its a shame we can't use them. Flying around in a yellow nose 109 I feel like I have a flashing neon 'shoot here' sign!

Unless things have changed, there's a strong feeling that it causes stutters/lag. One additional problem is that the stock skins get overlooked of skin dowlnload is off and you always get the yellow nose. Devs know.

I suppose one way to be sure is to run a special session with skins on and see what happens but for now I'd prefer them to be off.

Completly wrong attitude, it should more be like "Here, see me and and be afraid, be very afraid."

I don't think they are too scared when they see me bumbling around the sky...

Lets just say this. With skins on you're frozen in mid air (feels like you're about to launcher crash) more than you're actually unfrozen. It's a mess. Granted it all depends on how many players are on the server, etc.. But imagine if every single player spawn caused a 1-3 second stutter on your end? Multiply that by how many players and how many spawns in a minute and you'll see just how bad it is.

We tried turning them back on a few weeks after the latest patch came out, and I'd almost forgotten just how bad it is with them turned on. Trust me, I can't wait till we can use all those skins as well.
