Big_Joe returning bomber pilot
« on: May 31, 2021, 08:23:50 AM »
Hi

I/we played about 5000 years ago (bombers only). Genuinely bored as ... with certain other WW2 flight games . Loved this game 1) Autopilot you can use 2) you pay the $30 a month but can use anything even the B29s all planes. Is that still the same also on 1 server i remember it was like 400 players per server?.  What is the average numbers (truthfully as bombers like to shoot down silly fighers now and again) on the server?

Kind Regards

PS:  Admin = when i downloaded the client (i use no anti-virus at all...) Microsoft edge gave me a warning ''this file is not safe to open''. (i opened the download obviously but may put others off).

Numbers seem to be around 40 daytime to 130 players peak evening hours

Hi yes i did a practice mission on B29 (crashed on takeoff). Went to the online server was 43/1000. Then it 'remembered' me from 500 years ago (nice) $15 USD nice (at the moment i cant even take off). Ill think about it :).

For the B29 dont load full fuel, and always check the runways using F5 and then F8 from the tower. Always pick the diagonal (longest) runways and check to be sure you have a long climb out space off the runway. Takes a bit to get the speed up on those big birds to be able to turn any.

oh, and Welcome back!

$15 USD nice.

Way cheaper than other sims like IL2, DCS etc. Dedicated online support - those other games force players to run their own servers.

Think I seen it up past 160 a day or 2 ago.

Even when it's down to 20 say at 3am with a little time investment you can always stir up trouble. I have been pleased this first week back at how active the game can and will be 24/7. Gets discouraging watching bbs past 4 years with some complaining about numbers. I have not experienced this problem at all at any time of day the past week. It looks dead so I'll go Wf/deck a town. Next thing I know there are 3-7 players coming out the wood work for a fight at 3am :x :cheers:

The game is alive and well with a veteran player base that is still at the top of its game. Flying as a bish, im personally enjoying the rooks and knight's teaming up on bish last few days. Makes for a target rich environment and great gunnery practice.
