Hi Bliss, I am probably a bit thick, can you please explain how this is done? Just the Hyperlink will start the CoD game???? Which Hyperlink?



I had to fly Red yesterday afternoon in order to even up the server (we were 11 red vs 18 blue).
The good thing: I did not have to search for the enemy, they were all above my airfield
PS. that smart a$$ in the ME110 who lands at our red airfield in order to quickly re-fly deserves to be sent to the prison-camp for a couple of years before he is allowed to re-fly again. At least have the honesty to try to make it back to your base or die honorably while trying... It was reality that you were vulching our air bases, it was also reality that you crawled your way back to France over the Channel if in trouble
@Bliss: I maybe wrong but I have the impression that if they land at the enemy airbase it is not considered a kill and we do not get credited with the kill !!!!!! (unlike IL2FB).

The even better thing: I had a Spit II. Boy, oh boy what a machine this is! I think I will prepare a bright red-baron skin for the Spit II and look forward to the moment skins will be allowed again!
I was over France, over a blue depot, plane badly hit (from the AAA), "playing" with three Bf109 who were trying got get on me. At the end the flak got the most hits...
On another try, again over France, out of ammo (but away from the depot flak), got jumped by three Bf109; just went corkscrew up while supressing them down, they gave up after 5min, then left for home... (I apologised later).

The less good thing: At one take off and subsequent dogfight, I got Elevator and Ailerons damaged. I managed to fly the Spit II and land safely at the airfield by controlling the alt with the engine revs. You know what the most difficult thing was? To get the plane lose altitude!!!!!

So yes, the SpitII is a bit ueber...
On the other side, there is a limited number of Spit.II and the blue tactic vulching the SpitII airbase I think it is fair, this is the only way to keep the Spit.IIs under control

Nice server, I had a lot of fun!
(and thank God, later I could switch back to blue...)
and in order to avoid any misunderstandings:
I do not have anything against a limited number of Spit.II
Besides the blue have found a way to control the Spit.II, just as in real life the allies learned to control the ME-262s. By vulching their airport
So blue team-tactics and airfield supressing in combination with the long engine warmup time of the Spit and its limited vailability make the game interesting and balanced for me
As far as I am concerned, whether I fly blue or red, it is fine!
