I don't look forward to wait hours for bandits behind a flak gun, without even the fun of flying. And don't tell me about Manston in ATAG, speaking by experience (CAP) you can spend a lot of time even there waiting for low level vulching attacks. Imo, if no flight sim had such a feature before, there must be a reason. Boredom, maybe? Maybe I'm wrong, but this one will be like the useless blond-girl-on-a-spit mission.

Well you wouldn't wait for hours. I imagine you would spawn in at Manston, see the flak and hop out of your Hurri and into the AAA.

Provided that you fly Red

Lol... Imagine a blue team mate arranging an attack at Manston and then switching sides!

I'm glad the dev team decided that this would be the most important feature to add. -_-

They're working on MULTIPLE things. Just because they posted something clearly just meant as a fun new feature that's more of a bonus than something crucial, it doesn't mean that they're not working on the other stuff.

All that sarcasm and negative posting isn't helping anyone. Come on, we're all on the same team. They're busy making the game that you want to play. Why pay them back with spiteful comments?

Remember: We asked for updates. We said, "anything, just give us something!"

We'll get the "hey guys, we fixed the AI, AI-comms, performance, etc." at some point, but hey, if we get some playable flak or some new ships in the meantime I'm cool with it. That doesn't deserve a reprimand.

Words carry weight. I'm assuming the PC flight sim crowd, one that's primarily past the teenager stage, understands this. Flaming and trolling belong on some Call Of Duty board, not here.

Stay positive! Yay! Happiness and rainbows! Shaking hands, smiling faces!

For heavens sake. Please just release a patch with improved AI.

At least then the game becomes slightly more enjoyable offline.

Exactly. I don't think there was ever the suggestion of waiting around for hours waiting for something to happen. You spawn and find your base under attack so you man the defences....I've seen my son doing precisely that in some online WWII game or other. It's not a major part of gameplay for sure but it does give you the chance to have a pop at them.

If it's designed well they'd let you jump from area to area to follow the action too.

This was (is?) a very popular opportunity in the MMPG Aces High. As you say, when you need it you can use it and its adds another dimension.
