...Zipputah get a new graphics card quick! If you cant see the dots now when AH2 comes out your dead!

35K! Ok, I’m an alt monkey, but rarely do I pass 20 and my preferred is 15 and when the squad is around I might get 10.

But 35?

As for the dots, psssstt… when your low to the terrain, the aircraft camouflage works pretty good against the backdrop. At 35K though, you don’t have to worry about it as much.

Yes, but that's two LEFT thumbs. Which pretty much sums up the matter in question.

35k Jugs are pretty common for rooks. After their first pass though their neutered. The 152s were more bothersome but useless if you know how to defeat their effectiveness. 190D9s are more effective but few people that go that high know how to use them. I got as high as 27k before having to step carefully. Once I equalized E it was fun slowly working down the numbers.

Camouflage? What difference does that make with an icon ten times larger than your plane?

Icons drop from 6 to 3k when you’re at the right altitude above the ground and against similar backdrops.

Although I can see how you wouldn’t know that being at such high altitudes all the time.

Just a question.
But with all the fuss over the Pizza map WHY is it still in rotation?
It seems like most people really hate this map.

DONT shoot i'm just asking.

Pizza week is great.
It always brings more people to CT

Yesterday we had great fun at CT FinRuska map.

Because the fuss is not community wide, but from a relative handful of about 100 guys out of a total subscribership of many thousands - a vociferous minority on the BBS. Last night when I logged in, there were 12 in the CT and 371 in the pizza-MA. That confirms that the BBS does not represent the majority view, or that people want to fly their favourite ride but it's not available in CT. Either way, the situation stats are inconclusive, and a popup poll at logon is the only accurate way to gauge support for each map or set of maps.

Well said beet1e. The mental circle jerks these fellows are engaging in only serves as a slant to their own agenda. Its obvious what they want is an arena with fewer players all engaging in the circle jerk. I dont know how they plan to eliminate bnz but Im sure they will find a way to whine about that too.

BTW Beet1e that was a nice kill on my pony yesterday. How many rooks were there? I lost count but you were the only one to hit me.

Actually, I've had some fun in a Spit V on the deck down low doing a NOE fighter sweep near an enemy base. The base starts blinking, the enemy starts upping, they look around, "Where is he? Anybody see anything?" Boom boom. Tower. You just gotta know the terrain, the aircraft paint, and the art of camoflaging your icon.

Good camo for AKDessert:
P-40E
C.205
C.202 (if you can stand the guns)
Spit V

Worst camo for AKDessert:
P-51D
Ki-61
P-47D
Bf109
FW190
Spit IX
All of the navy planes
