How many spend more time here than playing CLoD?

[Gabelschwanz Teufel]

Waiting on the new patch, mostly. Like everyone else.

i have much more time here than playing time with CoD
But actually its not t he game itself:

i tried some few singleplay missions from the Desastersoft adon, but singleplay with flightsims was never my thing and will never be.
Online well, i get bored on dogfightmaps VERY fast. So i leave it alone.

I am happy i was there in the IL2 classic decade with its numerous COOP online wars ! That was my time. Wondering if it will happen again. But i am now 45, so, my PERSONLA wild time is over i guess. In around 2004/5 to have several hours a day in the HL flying COOPs and building COOPmissions with FMB was not so seldom

438 hrs Played...Last played today..

Ouch! ..Hope my wife doesn't see that!

In ways I understand that people don't play single player...Im really having a hard time waiting for the patch.. I'm on these forums everyday looking also.

I do have a harder time understanding why more people don't play online though... Yes the game has its problems and studders. yes the game sometimes becomes a slide show if the furball gets too busy over a base..

Adapt and adjust..is all I can say.. because there will be a time when you are in the right situation and it will all come together and is a blast to play! It definitely has its ups and downs.. but it is also up to the player to get the most out of the game. Concentrating on what the game is lacking instead of enjoying what the game does well...I believe is alot of the problem. I was guilty of it in the beginning, trying to build missions.. and becoming increasingly frustrated with the game. I decided to just get the game running the best I could and just enjoy the game for what it is ATM.
AND a big thanks to the (ATAG) guys for giving us a place to enjoy the Sim while we not so patiently wait for the rest of this (eventually) great Flight/ Ground war... Sim S!

I do enjoy what the game does well, but the things it lacks more than outweigh the things I like.

I'm utterly bored with the map. I'm tired of flying the Hurricane. I don't fly German, I would fly the G.50, but it is a joke. The only good Spitfire usually is not available, etc...etc...etc...

I eagerly await the expansion, so at least I can do some proper ground pounding with the IL2.

On a fresh map.

In a different season, with varied climatic conditions.

I hope.

1-2 hours a day on ATAG or offline bomber training. I find online too hard until I know what I'm doing since there are no external views to easily see the bomb release (indicator is bugged in the HE-111) and the target.

Snapper's post pretty much sums it up for finding contacts. Definitely jump on TS3 - even one other person on comms can change your whole evening. Just yesterday there was a 110 and a 109 buzzing Hawkinge. Four of us on teamspeak converged at the same time from different directions. I think it was Snapper who said, "Those poor guys, they're already dead but they just don't know it yet!" He sure was right - great fun! A 110 that has lost its energy is such a nice target.

And I don't know how many times I have seen a 109 closing on a red's six who isn't on teamspeak. Usual procedure is to call 'checksix' or 'break' but when they aren't listening they just go down in flames.

Edit: Definitely with you there, ElAurens. Very much looking forward to the expansion even though I'm still enjoying the channel.

Yep, that was me! You guys were a bit ahead of me and I knew that 110 was in for a world of hurt. Then a 109 squirted out of Hawkinge and went feet wet at wavetop height in a desperate run for home with a Spit in hot pursuit. A couple of us in Hurries decided to give chase -- why not?

I was low on fuel, but "for King and Country -- Tally Ho!". We slowly overtook the Spit and passed him, but we couldn't gain on the yellownose. He dragged us clear across the Channel to France and I was fully expecting his pals to greet us as Cap Gris Nez approached. I was surprised when he suddenly went vertical over his coast and opted to engage us; I figured he'd simply lure us over one of his airfields and let the AAA do its work. Just then my engine spluttered and died. Bingo fuel! Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh! I left him to you guys and plonked unceremoniously down in a French seaside field. In self-loathing I signed off and went upstairs for a ham sandwich. Oh, the shame!!!!! LOL

Did anyone get that 109?

Haven't played for a while. Simple as this, I will not play until it works.
No working single player-not interested.
