There are quick offline missione for instant dogfight or bomber shoot out, or user created missions, sometimes re-enactment of historical feats. You have the Desastersoft career (paid content), again offline. Then there is the online fun, possibly with Teamspeak together. Today there will be the Bomber Night on ATAG, actually a series of mega missions Il2-style. Plenty to do for a serious combats flight simmer.

Multiplayer is definitely fun, singleplayer not so, thanks to the AI.

S!

While single player lacks a LOT, online is not that much better before mission and map makers get the SDK so we could get a lot more missions etc. ATAG is one of the best server around, lots of fun if people would do something else than just vulch planes at fields. I sure understand why the blues want to vulch the Sissyfire II's but in general it is just pathetic in my books. Sure it would easy to establish a CAP over a field and just pop anyone foolish enough to spawn, then head home and boast with the "kills". Not my thing..I rather have the dance up in the sky, much better than just shooting fish in a barrel

I always have to laugh when someone calls the Spit II a "sissy" plane. Especially E4 jocks who have the best plane, with best guns, and the most ammo in the sim.

It they were "real men" and not "sissys" they would be in E1s, then we would see who the real pilots are, and not just the best artillery men.

Well, in my opinion, anyone who isn't flying the G.50 is by definition a sissy.

[ElAurens]

That's a fair cop.

In real life not in the sim I must add...

Glad I am not a sissy my main ride, when I am not bombing, is the E1.

[ElAurens]

Heh.

I don't fly Blue that often, but when I do it's usually in the G.50 or the E1.
The EI has a ton of ammo. Wow.

Now if the Cr.42 was made flyable, it would be nothing but (vintage Classico Reserva) Chianti, pasta primavera, and open cockpits for this flying Pig.

In all seriousness, all the planes have advantages and dis-advantages in varying proportion. Even the two "uber planes" of the set, the E4 and Spit IIa are really far from "uber" and both die with regularity.

The tactics used to employ them are far more important.
