ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

[SEE]

This server has defined mission roles. The bombers on both sides are flying at altitude and the mission parameters are to escort or destroy. The Stuka are coming in at lower altitude. If players followed the mission parameters fighter to fighter combat would be at these altitudes.

What was plainly obvious from yesterday with the omission of the Spit mk2 was a high number of BF's skimming across the channel knowing full well that the Spit Mk1a is at disadvantage and slow.

I am not asking for the Mk11a to be included but the Mk1 is very slow untill you get up to around 18000ft. Its slower than a Hurricane and cannot even catch a Stuka as it start to climb and return to base.

The imbalance has been reversed for the two speed prop Spitfire pilots. The 'Blue' solution is - 'fly the Rotol Hurri!' instead and you can join in the furballs at deck level. What a role reversal that is!

The solutions are:

a) Luthier to sort out the respective speeds because that is what this whole discussion is about - engine HP (and 2 speed prop)!

b) more players following the mission goals.


Players are, and can be found, at altitude because the bombers are being decimated on both sides - problem is many stay over their territory. I think some of the fighter bases should be further in from the coast and give those who want to get to altitude a chance of doing that. This would also help my fps which is really low when things are hot around the coastal bases - trying to get off the ground with stuttering single figure fps, flack all around you and planes screaming in every direction is a nightmare.
