It all comes down to patience.
People spawn in and get anxious that some other guy is getting an advantage (blues are flying earlier, other reds are up sooner and going to get the kills, etc).
Fortunately for us, the Spits and Hurris in CloD CAN be kept from overheating on the ground almost indefinitely I've found (the Spitfire should be overheating within 10 minutes regardless of your rad settings).We're far better served getting everyone in the air. Take your time. Let the guy in front of you go first even if you're engine is up to temp and he's still waiting. Just wait a minute more. Check your gunsight. Set your compass. Re-check your radiator flap setting.
Another thing. Once we get word of the airfields that we're going to be using, I recommend taking a free flight around it and get to know its layout. Some of us are taking off from fields we never use. Knowing where the runways are in relation to the landmarks and taxiways is very valuable. I would EVEN go so far as to make a little sketch doodle or print out a screen shot of the airfield for reference.
