October 18, 2012 - Patch 1.11.20362 is now live on steam!

[Sammi79]

Been away for a while. New patch? that demands a test flight on ATAG.

Shot up a friendly first run, muffin123 I think? sorry about that err... l'il bit rusty...

then ran smack bang into a 3-4 ship of 109E-3s. Hit 2 killed 1

took hits, pulled a turn too hard and spun. shortly thereafter crash landed with a canopy covered in oil. Last time that happened to me the 109 pilot followed me down as I spun emptying his guns into me. A bit harsh I thought, considering spits could no way get close enough behind the much faster 109 to get more than a long range pot shot.

Spits can now officially tangle with 109s, speed difference is minimal though vertical tactics still heavily favor the 109. Good relative performance albeit at low level 5-6k feet. This is much more like the reports from real pilots.

Merlin doesn't cook itself quite so quick now either.

Gotta get me a headset and team up, lone wolfing against teams is suicide. I was very lucky to score my hits, and to survive the crash landing.

But I'll definitely be spending some time on ATAG servers now.

Congrats Luthier, BlackSix & whole CLOD team. Best of luck with the sequel I shall keep an eye out.

Regards, Sam.
