online wars ADW.

I thought serious pilots would be flying real aircraft with a frown on their faces?

I couldn't class myself a a serious pilot! The look I had on my face when I flew real aircraft was constantly shifting from sheer joy to absolute terror!

Though I could be wrong.

Cheers!

Yes, the better/real pilots always play another game/on another server/the only true war etc. I too always have to fight the better planes. Whatever I do, the other guy is always in the über-plane.

In the end, the transit from Il2 1946 to CoD is like a new start. All the pros are starting agains as "noobs" in the new game, I guess that`s why many stick with 1946... In the end it all depends on the time available and the amount of time you want to waste in your hobby and there are already some guy that have a huge amount of flying time and know what they are doing/ how to shoot straight.

On the weekend, I found some time for a little flying around, so me and my squadmate took off for an evening sortie along the British SW coast. As we were just cruising along in echelon formation at 4500m it was quite relaxed, some chatting and discussing issues. I just remarked to my wingman that I can not overlook his six, meaning him to go into combat spread, cause you never know. I never saw an RAF player-plane over 2000m in my limited playing time, so I didn´t expect anything to happen anyway, just a remark.

4 seconds later my squadmate says in TS, "Oh I am hit, am bailing out." Looking around I saw a spitfire zooming up above me. Well, I tried to take a few angles from him to complicate his next bounce and then went into a dive. Diving from 4000m on deck I thought I should be clear and saw nothing behind me, so I got my bearing. Then I looked around again and the spit was 300m behind and closing in fast. Well, so far for the better dive speed of the 109, I thought 700km/h would be enough, but well... no chance of out running I went into a flat scissor. The Spitfire didn´t swallow that bait and just zoomed up again. In the next scissor to answer his high jojo I received some hits in the wing, stalled and crashed. "Valec" in the Spitfire being a full time CoD-Pilot did everything right and just wasted us two weekend pilots with ease.

To cut it short, a player just coming along, hopping onto a server and in need of some success/satisfaction, will probably quit the game really fast, especially when he is used to 1946 fast-success-gameplay, even though the game is quite new to the most of us (I for myself have not even mapped the WEP of the 109 yet).

I totally concur with your assessment SNAFU. The servers are catering the hardcore flight sim fans and will leave newcomers running.

And without at least a wingman I never fly on the online servers. It's just not worth my time.

What?

There's only one way to fly a warbird correctly: keep your energy, don't give a firing solution to your opponent, attack only with advantage OR go away. This is the way you score some kills AND RTB.

Why should be it different? Maybe because in CloD the fights are usually below 2km? Over airbases too? Then I agree with you...

I'm sticking with 1946 because the game keeps freezing after 30 minutes and I can't see enemies (50 guys on the server and I see nobody from 4km)...

109 better plane? Ermm

Not when hes low and slow

I would of found that quite funny though when he said that and quit lol

If you're being honest and not just being the master of self-proclamation, then its not bragging, its more smack talk to try to get people to fight you better.

and if you want a arcade game go play hawx...

He has the far better aeroplane...

You do a nice little barrel roll and drop on his six and paste him and he crashes...

You salute him in chat...

And he says...

"Gay game" and quits.

Oh so satisfying.

I had one of those, flying 110 with bombs. I was picked up mid chanel by a Spitfire. I drop the bombs and we went at it for about 10 minutes. At the end I was going back home with a smoking engine and the spit was in the drink. For all my effort I got that priceless, Bull$hit uber Bf-110 and Crappy FM remark.

That made up for all those countless times i got chewed to shreads in that 110.

We should get Oktoberfest flying this game to show everybody what the 110 can really do. I remember seeing a track of him flying a 110 against a P-47, a Mustang, and I think also a 38, and coming home with 2 kills. Starting up in the stratosphere and ending up down on the deck.
