Because its not a matter of hardware, its a matter of glaring errors and omissions.

I also have a modest system and can enjoy it online. I just came back from an online session at ATAG, after 20 minutes inflight in my ju-88 I was just reaching the English coastline to take out the supply depot. I was so excited since it was my first online raid in a ju-88, just as I started to get a visible on the target I got the dreaded launcher crash, if my girlfriend and baby daughter wouldn't have been asleep a lot of foul and harsh language would have ensued. I'm just sticking to offline now, my time is too valuable, I only have time to play late at night and 20 lost minutes is a lot for me.

Wow bummer! I've yet to have one of those on-line, give a shout out if you see me, for an escort.

I don't get a lot of CTD's or launcher crashes but they always come at the worst possible moment it seems. Yes! I could use an escort on those missions from Tramecourt, an irritating spit tried to take my Br.20 down last night, took out two of my gunners but I made it back to French soil.

Later last night we really beat the Brits like a red headed step child.
Thanks to awesome power of the Ju-88 and Bf-110 and great help from Bf-109 pilots going in front and dragging the RAF low (Thank you Tonka!), all targetrs went down in just over an hour.
Pure blitzkrieg.


After RAF pilots signed the surrender papers, we made them wash our bombers and play Luftwaffe Marches.

That must have been after 56RAF left
We hacked down quite a few 109s and Do17s.

Is it politically correct to say "we really beat the Brits like a red headed step child".

My daughter is red headed though not a step child. She wants to know if you play WoW or LOTRO etc., so she can hunt you down and show you what a red headed child can do.

Be afraid!

I believe we got our own back in the next mission

And I seem to recall a 110 that had its wing blown off from a 1/4 second burst of Spitfire .303s

$@*&^)$&@)*$

That was quite a shock. I just saw a big fireball and my wing was gone. I was like: WTF? HAX!!

It was a long swim back to france.
Your Blenheims did a great job. Got all the ships in one pass. Very impressive.

Just before we got the final target, I was lining up on another 110 near Boulogne. Just about to give him a squirt and CTD >

It's funny how some nights the game is an absolute joy to play and other nights you want to uninstall and flail your arms like a demented octopus. Not even talking about the CTDs here.

I think I definitely enjoy the game a LOT more when people are taking care of objectives rather than just looking for prey. For that reason I almost always exclusively do escort work for the bombers now or patrol our objectives in defense.
