Moving offline to online, a story and some lessons

[ATAG_Dutch]

Really pleased that you've 'discovered' online play Jim!

The blokes on ATAG's teamspeak are always willing to team up and help eachother out.

Looking forward to meeting up on the server!

Cheers!

Couldn't believe the clean shot through the roundel!

Its Air Combat Jim, but not as you've known it

Welcome to the world of on-line combat. Bring your friends!


Oh, and yes get Teamspeak ASAP and think about joining a Squad or at least try to fly regularly with guys you will get to know on TS. Its much more satisfying.

Whenever I try join an online game no servers are up or If I can join the servers are buggy as hell with aircraft doing weird stuff like flying backwards or something random.

S!

Nice story and welcome to online of CoD. Can be fun and sometimes nerve wrecking. But still you press Create and start up again I had a nice fight last evening in ATAG. Flew along with 3 other Bf109E's, spotted a Sissyfire trying to make a lead turn to get on our tails. So warned the guys and engaged to buy time for others.

I noticed at first turns that his one was not a Sissy Mk.I or Mk.Ia but the WarpTech Mk.II. Still managed to stay out of his sights and suddenly found myself behind him = promptly pumped in cannon and MG fire making him sputter smoke. Went to snap in the last MG burst and suddenly he warped into me = boom both died Gosh you sometimes hate this, reminds of old IL2 where some ppl where pressing PrintScreen to make themselves lag.

What is most irritating online: ghost planes, darned hard to spot anything and so forth. But I think the next patch could bring something to the table with the new GFX coding. But on TS it is great to meet other peeps and fly with them.

My experience on the old Warclouds server where we flew as a team (blue vs red).... We've never had a problem shooting each other targets if it got them out of the fight sooner, so we could prepare for the next attack.

Nice post!

Hmmm... Jimbob, why do I have the bad feeling that this was me ????
Did you see the name of the player bailing?


Damn, I should have checked better, I saw the big piece falling off your wing and the flat spin and thought your wing had broken off

You were a lucky bugger, my gunsight (and everything else in the cockpit) had been shot to pieces.

Probably was! You were definitely online at the time but I didn't notice the name of the player, too worried about my fuel.

Btw, how do you send a chat without exiting to the server page?
