Yes I havnt had that much fun in this game in quite a while. Being able to find EA in like 2 minutes kicks ass and it was actually fun being outnumbered everytime lol. Alas I am still stuck in the 109E because I got the shaft with the new rank system and they changed it so you cant gain rank nearly as fast as before. 3 fk'n ata kills and I get a woppin 5% gain in rank at level 3. At this rate intermission will end before i can get out of the 109e Boy I would hate to be a noobie to this game now, no more sitting in the back of a bomber for 10 minutes and getting a 50% increase in rank. Noobs really gotta go through the gauntlet to get outta the tier0 stuff now, which could be argued is a good thing.
I think how it works now is that there is much more of a gap between ranks. They were thinking the game was loaded with too many colonels and generals. What used to be a colonel is now a lieutenant (something like that). You have to work REAL hard to get up to a high rank now. Imagine what it's like in the navy now!
