ATAG's New secret weapon

Slipstream2012 · #1 08-26-2012, 08:32 PM

We all know ATAG spearhead the online Clod campaign, but little known is the fact that they are testing secret weapons for it too.
This was spotted as a cigar sized object on the horizon after takeoff from Hawkinge last night. Though quite the purpose of it is currently unknown.

Spaceship anyone?

Well, it's an effective tactic against skip bombs and torpedoes! LOL

When someone asked if we had "airships" on the ATAG Server, we weren't quite prepared for this!

..the prop thrust is over-modelled

Has anyone added this as a bug in the bug tracker? Its been going on for some time. I understand these ships are the moving "Chief" types and not the statics.

IMO this is a netcode problem. It doesn't seem to happen until there are many players on. Hopefully one of these years it will be looked at.

About the spaceship: A little birdy told me if you shoot it with your forward facing guns that it might drop back to the water. Give it a try

Are you sure someone isn't trying to recreate my Ghostship mission from IL2?

We need some lights before those ATAG boys can continue with their "secret" weapon
