Thanks to everyone involved in the organization of this event! Always great to see so many pilots in the air.
As it is rumoured that Germans often choose for a rather straight-forward communication approach, some personal two cents and proposals for future ATAG Assaults with yesterday's event but also the ones prior to No. 7 in mind:
Attacking side:
- Winning the mission is of rather low priority for me. I much prefer the amazing sight of a large group of organized bombers and fighters flying together over single planes heading out.
- A pre-defined second in command of the bombers would be nice to keep up the organization in case the lead bomber drops out.
- As bombers, take your time with everything you do - if it is taking-off together, rallying on a (rather safe) rendez-vous point or choosing a (rather safe) route to the target.
- As fighters, well the obvious but often difficult to achieve points: be with the bomber formation at all time and try to fiercely protect them from imminent threads.
Defending side:
- In my humble opinion there should be some sort of gentlemens agreement: allow the bombers and escort some time and space to form up. Already shooting at the first bombers only a couple of minutes after take-off can ruin hours of planning and the joy of many.
- There is always a handful of suicide pilots whose solely aim seems to be inflicting damage. Attacking bombers without any chance to survice, i. e. "parking" themselves behind bombers while being shot to pieces by the fighter escort. Will never understand this aspect - there is human pilots looking for a unique experience in those bombers, there is no enemies participating on ATAG Assault.
And probably most important: somehow, Cliffs needs to get the server stability fixed again. Only 80 players on the server, no AI, no fancy scripts, still a crashing server.
