got another question:

today i was fighting with a T34. I had an unfriendly Wirbelwind in sight. He was movin towards me. So when I started to nail him, he kind of rushed foward and backward. I sought this has something to do with the internet connection. Am I correct? I also follow the phenomenon (?) when sitting behind a field gun and aiming at enemy planes. They suddenly change speed and altitude so fast I cant aim.

Yes. Either there is some problem with the internet connection, or something may use up resources on your opponents computer (like anti-vir software starting to update or scan files)

To check if it's your own connection that causes trouble (a good indicator is when several planes in view start to warp) rightclick on your clipboard map and select "Net Status". "Variance in Delay" should be a flat line.

BTW, that phenomenon is commonly called "warping" with the AH community, and you'll usually hear it with an expletive before or after (or both).
If you have multiple players in view, you can make a quick determination of who has the problem by seeing if everyone else warps at the same time. If just one player warps, then it is probably that player who is having issues. If everyone warps around you, then it is probably you with the issue. To be sure, you'll need to follow Snailman's suggestion to check the Net Status.

Oh, and Willkommen  :)

When you see that happen from an anti-air platform at the range of 2.0K, it is part of the game architecture.  The rate your computer gets updates on other players depends on how far away from you they are.  You get the most frequent updates on players within 2K.  When you are in an AA emplacement or vehicle, it's common to see a slight warp as the update rate changes.

I searched the forum, but didn`t find any answer.

I logged in the training arena to train my bombing skills. But at the bombing zone were no airfields for the "green" team. The same with the basic training zone. So, how can I use the bombing zone?

Change country to get to get on the appropriate "green" team.  ;)

You can change by klicking on "Oclub", then "Change Countries" or you can simply use a quick dot command for this: type 

.country #

into the radio buffer when not airborne. #= country number, Bishops=1, Knights=2, Rooks=3.
You can change country any time without limit in the TA or offline.

Oh yea, when you are in the game NEVER EVAH TUNE to channel 200. If you do tune to channel 200 don't listen to any of em! or take it to heart! If you do have to cuss back at them write it in deutsch !

By looking at his location I think he should cuss back in Bayerisch. And it's way more colorful to cuss in than in ordinary German too. I lived two years in Bavaria, I know what I'm talking about :D

Like this?  It is not a cuss word in Bayerisch but a greeting in Bayerisch.

Grieste du aude fisch-houd!!  Hello you old fish-skin... I know, it makes no cense.

That's old Bavarian  :aok
