Cheers Mav. I'm playing clever now, I'm not knocking seven shades out of the opposition because they'll just bugger off. I'm keeping the games short and allowing them a little head start to keep 'em keen. Just before game end I'll score enough to jump ahead and hope they don't pull the plug at the last second. It's been working fine so far.

Good idea lol. When I get tired of everyone quiting I go to one of my other profiles illmakeuquit or bet_I_winil2 then knock the he'll out of them I figure if they are gonna play like that I'll give em a reason to quit but most the time I just fly around with my main profile and try to find a good match where I can

Oh and yes I purposely made those names as arrogant as possible in hopes of people seeing the name and thinking " I'll show him" and hopefully sticking around to fight. I'm not saying I am a il2 god or anything but most guys who play this know my name some are great players and just want to have fun but some see my name and imediatly quit or drop the room making it hard to find a game this didn't happen in realistic but now that I'm playing arcade again it happens often I'm sure you see it to so sometimes I switch to the other profiles after I see people droping the room when I enter so I can get in there and fly

I have been playing Wings Of Prey on PC over the weekend. I have a wireless Xbox PC controller and it plays just like BOP but with the benefit that WOP has lots of extra options. It has customised multiplayer with some great options. Drop in drop out of a game. One match I joined had an unlimited timer with an 800 point limit. For a TB it made for an all afternoon battle. Being able to drop out and rejoin or change planes mid game really makes it perfect.
Suggest anyone who misses BOP to check if their PC laptop can run WOP. I was running it super smooth high graphics on a fairly cheap 13" laptop

wow sounds great wookie. i only have a laptop now. will never go back to a pc. too big and cumbersome around the house and logistically not an option for travelling either. my laptop does not have a cd/dvd driver so i'm wondering. did you buy a wop disc or did you download it somehow. if you did download it could you post the link please. i would be interested to see if wop is an option for me. thanks for posting the info wookie. cheers

Hi Irish, I am same as you, laptop only user. Can't be bothered sitting at a desk with a big PC. I got WOP from Steam. Its a down load game company that's cloud based. Once you buy a game on there it's on your account and you can install it on any machine in future. It's only £9.99 too

BOS fly's completely different, games are short, full of spawn campers and no TB or dogfight I prefer bop style better myself I tried to like bos just didn't do it for me
