ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

It's amazing that every time a new sim comes out it's always the same discussion. Apparently people are very resistant to learning the one ancient maxime, around ever since people started flying combat sims against each other over the internet and still as viable as it was back then:

He who takes off from a besieged field will die above a besieged field.

If there aren't alternative fields available then it's simply an insufficient setup of the map.

Exactly, I usually take off and flyaway from the coast until I get to about 3-4k even if there is no sign of enemy aircraft around my field! This way when I get to about 3-4k I can turn back and head for the action knowing that not only will I have some altitude under my belt, but also I will be entering the danger area with a whole heap of speed and a well trimmed plane, and if I am really lucky with the sun at my back It is well worth spending the extra 10 minutes at the start of the sortie and setting your self up, there is no future in being the one struggling for altittude, with no speed in reserve and having the enemy dropping down upon you!!
