Now that I can actually launch the game online without those silly authentication errors I've had a dabble on multiplayer. I jumped on to a purely dogfight air-start server yesterday after CloD to get a feel for it.
My first impressions:
1. I need to adapt to BoS, it's another different beast from CloD and DCS for sure.
2. Teamwork! I had my arse handed to me five times in a row, with only a few hits on the enemy, even in an La-5 I was outclassed on my own.
3. I think I need to hone my set up, controls still feel too sharp and i'm finding it difficult to achieve a decent gun solution.
4. Track IR - it feels sluggish in BoS and looking up in particular is a problem, does anyone else have any tips here, or a profile I can use? Currently using my IL2 profile (which is different to my DCS one).
It certainly has potential, but I really need to spend some time on my setup I think to really start enjoying it.
Twice I had to belly land and I had a grin on my face as I slid along the ground, kicking up dirt, wings bending, grass flapping against the leading edges and the canopy slamming open and shut. Very immersive, even in defeat!
