    Re: Cliffs of Dover Blitz

    Yeah agree totally, its brilliant. I bought BOS,BOP recently to get back into flights sims after many years of not playing much. (Used to love Rowans BoB and the dynamic campain)). BOS etc look great but the visibilty of other aircraft was really annoying me so I decided to fire up CLoD again to compare and it so much more atmospheric/immersive than BOX and you can actually spot and track the other aircraft. I liked it so much I bought Tobruk even though I not that interested in that theatre just to help support the team in the hope that the improvements keep coming.

    More than welcome, well worth it.

    Yeah definately, had a few goes in multiplayer this last few days but worried the air ministry will ground me for losing more aircraft on the ground than supply can match.

    Re: Cliffs of Dover Blitz

    Ha ha! I can well understand your nervousness, Rusty.

    In fact, I flew single player for a whole year before plucking up the courage to try multiplayer. I was convinced I was tresspassing on somebodies private party and would be thrown out on my ear. No such thing happened but I took off from Lympne and ended up in Dover harbour on my 'brolly. Seeing the 109 behind me about to open fire was terrifying for a total newbie but I was quickly hooked and never looked back! I can promise you the stalwarts of multiplayer have wrecked more aircraft than you could count!!!!

    I soon found the Community here to be so welcoming and supportive that I've never left! Give us a shout if you see me in multiplayer and we can 'wing up!' Good luck! Salute!

    Hi Rusty, and welcome to the forum.

    I can't really add to what Marlow has said. Be sure to grab Teamspeak (great price: it's free! ) and look for any of us on any of the ATAG Teamspeak channels. Don't hesitate to introduce yourself, we welcome all new pilots. We fly for the fun and the camaraderie of it, and believe me - we all frequently goof up on taxiing, takeoffs, landings....you name it. Much to the amusement of those who, by luck or fortune, haven't done the same thing in the past half hour!

    Hope to see you soon!

    Re: Cliffs of Dover Blitz

    Thanks guys, nice welcome and great community.

    I had greet fun last night on the server and got a few kills too which is a bonus. When you have a real pilot on your tail with that yellow nose 200 yards behind you it definately gets the heart pounding - cant imagine what that was like in real life. At least I can see what killed me, most of the time in BoX I never saw what hit me lol. (Marlow, I think you broke off one to leave for me which was cool)

    Looking through the forum I see that there are occasion events - like historic enactment style meetups. Does that still happen? This seems the perfect sim for this although numbers may be an issue.

    Re: Cliffs of Dover Blitz

    Hi Rusty....yes, great fun last night! I bore down from Angels 10 over Dungeness (English Point) onto about five 109's ,that were flying north, at low level. I singled one out and homed in but suddenly found another Spitfire in front of me. I was tempted to open fire on the blighter! Fancy nicking my kill!!! but then I thought: 'No! It might be that nice new chap, Rusty! Better not fire!' Ha ha!

    Ha ha! Good fun had by all, I think...though I was late to the party because I had been on the Axis v Allies, dicing with Jeepy........basically 'running away bravely,' as Snargle would say!

    Yes, there are a growing number of historically accurate events that are dotted through the calendar. The Italian Wing often hold an event on a Wednesday or a Saturday evening. There is a new Wellington Squadron that holds practice missions on a Thursday night and we plan a big Operation over the Easter period. Most of the servers can handle 80 or more pilots so numbers should not be an issue. These events are great fun and are for all the Community...which you are now a part off....so do join us for the next one. News of the event will be posted in the ATAG Forum, so keep an eye out.

    In the meantime, most of us fly on the servers during most evenings, just like last night! See you there...bring your friends....and we'll have more fun! Salute!

    Glad you are having fun!

    The next mission from ITAF has just been announced:
    https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic...omment-1066921

    Or maybe it will be updated here:
    https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...ad.php?t=34736

    Their events are the best. We had a BoB event happening Wednesdays but right now the are running a BoS campaign, so ITAF BoB Wednesdays have been put on hold for the time being. I hope they resume it soon.

    Apologies, I went for a nosey and he pulled right up into my sights at <100 yards - likely wouldnt have hit him otherwise lol. I saw you then and I bugged out a sec then saw you did too. I think thats what happened lol - thats what I put in the flight report anyway.

    Thanks, that looks class but complicated I will try and get teamspeak going and see if I can join if there is space. I can play tail end charlie and try and keep up.
