Just so you know, we tested PrtScrn on the ATAG server. It does cause lag/warp. Whether its used on purpose is difficult to say but we have seen some a/c warp repeatedly when in a tight spot and not when they're not, so its suspicious at times.

S! ATAG folk,

Your server is the most fun I have with CloD, and I enjoy checking out the stats at http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/content.php just to see if I'm improving, as a personal challenge.

Since there are so many columns in the stats, would it be possible for you to freeze the top two header rows of the embedded stats table at http://216.52.148.29:2012/ATAGStats/ATAGStatsV1.html so we can see what the numbers mean?

Once you scroll down past the top several names it becomes difficult to remember which stat matches with its column header.

If you can't freeze those top two header rows, perhaps you can add a static table of just those header rows above the stats table so we can see those headers above the stats as we scroll down.

Just a friendly request, if it is easy to do.

Hi Charlo,

You're not the 1st person that's ever asked for this . Last I heard, Colander is rewriting the stats from scratch - so who knows what he's coming up with. But he was working on the static portion (and complaining about how much a pain it was to figure out how to do lol). So it's being worked on anyhow

Glad you're having fun!

Hey Bliss, is he changing the flights/kill ratio to kills/deaths?

Struck me as a but odd the way they are atm.

Have you tested fraps recording?

I was planning on making a video.

First time online last night and of course I chose the ATAG server! Wow great pings, I was anywhere from 15-28.

I was on pretty late not a lot of people flying, I flew two missions over the channel just looking for targets and saw no one, but it was still pretty fun scanning the skys and learning to manage my engine.

My engine didn't blow up, so I deemed both missions a success for me. I still have a LONG way to go getting familiar with the CEM. This is more more difficult than full switch in IL2. I still have many buttons to map as well but I'm getting there.

Wow is the multiplayer interface clunky. It's really confusing to figure out how to spawn, select loadouts, ect. I know they are redesiging this stuff but what were they thinking in the first place? RoF's interface is brilliant. Very intuitive and easy to read.

Flew the Hurri for the first time tonight WOW I love it, sturdy aircraft great weapon platform.

Only con was the usual low ammo, had two 109s blow up on me one of them twice damn DM but both caught fire and killed the pilot SWEET!!!

The spits in reserve from now on

Glad you like it. Its the best we're allowed to use

Wish my 109s went down when I flamed them, they always seem to go out and fly/fight on. As a 109 pilot can you tell me if there is any lasting damage after a flame up?

It depends which fuel tank goes up, after the 109 went up twice last night I get the impression that one of the fuel tanks, lets call it A, is bugged and only quickly drains all the fuel the second fuel tank B leads to an explosion with no physical damage as well but the aircraft does catch fire.

I have only experienced damage from fuel tank B twice and both times thought it was only the fuel tank A going up so I continued flying only to be burnt alive

From the red point of view after you see an explosion if the 109 is alight he is a goner if he is not it depends on how much fuel he has when you lit him up usually he will be dangerous for at least another 5 mins.

Given the limited amount of ammo the reds have its a massive pain that the aicraft doesn't disintegrate like it should with a ruptured fuel tank.

I think it can be scripted that a wing or a tail is cut off in 10-30 seconds depending on what fuel tank has exploded. Need to ask C# professionals.
