ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

Hey Bliss and co,

Well lads I think we need to bring back the Spit II as a result of the evolution of blue tactics. Had a great night in the server with my squad tonight, but towards the end we couldnt get off the ground, let alone engage any bombers. There was a steady stream of Blue 109's booming and zooming the allied fields.

Now dont get me wrong, its a good tactic and was well done by the pilots, but the rotols and 1a's just cannot compete when we start at such a disadvantage. Plus all the fighting was below about 4k feet.

I think bringing back the IIa's is the only way to ensure the red team have any kind of equality.

I know I'll no doubt get flamed for reigniting the old debate, but several of the best 109 pilots ive spoken to on the forums all say the IIa should be brought back as there is too much imbalance without it. The 109 is on par with the IIa if flown well! Its only the poorer 109 pilots that cant match the IIa. They are just used to owning the Hurri and 1a in any kind of vertical engagement.

Even still, was a fun night, thanks to all the pilots, red and blue who took part.

Recon.

I'm going to say it. You know I am. Don't take off at a field that is under attack, start at a far field.

Get altitude and give yourself a chance.

Tactically more airfields sounds like a better solution.

What a SPitII can do more that a rusty Hurri can't do right after T.O. ?

I have to say i stopped playing online till the planes are sorted out cos as it stands all the blues have to do is boom and zoom and reds can do nothing about it, barring catching the odd one out. Gets boring for reds being disadvantaged all the time.

What keeps the Reds from B&Z the Blue? The plane with the E-advantage usually wins, even I-16 against 262.

Someone mentioned Mr.X above. He posted a video from ATAG on sukhoi.ru

What was the problem with him?

MrX logged into ATAG the other night. I didn't run into him during that session but he was bagging a lot of Red players at an impressive rate. I kept a watchfull eye on my six and wondered where his killing field was...now I know.

Don't understand what the issue is with MrX, looks like pretty much standard proceedure. Come in fast, get close hit hard and climb away. It works just as well when flying for the other side, get across the Chanel with some altitude and do the same thing! I think one of the biggest advantages the blues have is that they utilize coms better and we seem to fly in pairs or groups with a plan more often than the RAF flyers, the advantage of teamwork can not be understated.

Oh look, more tripe..

I wont bother to copy the rest but a lil bit of advise...take what you got and learn to fly against the Blues instead of wanting a over modeled AC against an under modeled one

Thought this rubbish had stopped already

oh and P.S.. the vertical bit? Yep thats what happens when you got E advantage, try it in a Hurri against a 109
