ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

[5./JG27.Farber]

Gunnery settings on the defiants are rediculous. I lag rolled over them at 400KMH and was dead in 10 seconds... Then my wingman attacked and was killed in the same amount of time...

The defiant was pulled out because it was a failure, otherwise they would have just made large aircraft with lots of turrets... So to get raped by 2 daffies on a sunday stroll is more than annoying.

This has happened many times before?

The gunners of the Defiants are snippers c'mmon, this is like the turret gunners of the Mitchells in IL2...


Apart from that, GREAT FUN

Agreed. NASTY snipers!!!!! Not so good on frontal or lower approaches, though. Speaking of Snipers, there was one very accomplished Rotol pilot warning the rest of us about the "sh|t storm" he ignited when he strafed a Blue airfield......

Yes more airfield activity with defensive sweeps. I heard a radio warning of a group of Defiants over the English coast and thought it may be a good way to rack up some easy kills. I got involved in action on the way and I never got there. Probably just as well by the sounds of it. Sounds like a flying firring squad.

It won't be long before you've figured out a way to lay waste on 'em -- I'd lay money on it! LOL

But it sounds like you're having fun.....and for us that means "mission accomplished"!

10 seconds is quite a long time. I haven't flown against the Defiants but did you know that is a four gun rotating rear/upward facing turret which shredded the 109s before they learned to attack it from the front? (no front guns on the Defiant) It wasn't the one-gun limited traverse of the He111 etc.

It was pulled out once the 109s avoided the rear quarter and knocked them down from the forward quarter.
