Pinkstar and I just entered a btc in Messines.
We were invisible to each other and bombing the carriers had no effect.

I'm on a Samsung G4 in California.

I had tried three other times and did not have any other players. I lost connection after a minute or so.

My rank is 16. My points are 1/2. I really don't mind... it's been a long time since I had something to work toward. I was able to fly my sopwith camel and my Siemens Schuchertt with all upgrades.

All squad info was normal and seemed intact.

Nothing more to report.

Found a btb with more players, all invisible (reds and blues) bombs did not destroy hangars.


The game "feels" the same. No new content yet.

Screen shots?

Not necessary, game looks identical to current game with all graphics on.

I did notice that the runway is dirt now but other than that it looks the same.

Graphics settings only have options for:

*Name tag size
*Detailed water
*show shadows
*plane chat
*world chat

No "detailed explosions" nor "detailed landscape" settings.
Can't turn off clouds.

I had tree's in the lake,saw no one in game.lost connection 3 times shortly after take off. Using a samsung galaxy pro

I kind of like the idea of having everyone start again. Actually I think everyone should start from scratch. Everyone except me that is

I wouldn't mind being the Davy of Elite

Jk of course. I actually haven't given it much thought and I may hold off on downloading Elite for a bit.

I went up for a couple of games...
Still not many players out there yet, but things have been getting better... other players are now visible for one!

The game looks mostly the same, but:

More trees! Trees everywhere! I'm not sure if it's all random or what but many are behind the runways. (I wonder if this will have much effect on making it more difficult to spawn kill from behind.) They also have substance now, meaning you can crash into them and hide in them, to some degree, in tanks or on foot. Zuperman was in and out of one game doing some testing of the tanks, I saw him shooting a tree with tank shells, so in theory they can also block shots and provide cover.

Flying does seem a little sluggish, not sure if it's a connection issue or the game it's self. I am finding it very tough to line up shots while turnfighting. It could be that I am using my Galaxy S4 phone instead of my Kindle Tablet. (No elite for Amazon yet)

Shots have some ballistic drop now! Not a lot, but long range shots will require some compensation now. I'm hoping it will curtail some of the quickdraw arcade feel of the game.

That's all to report for now.

...oh yeah!

AND, you can drive the tank in both camera views!
(I'm not sure if any devices could do this before but on my Kindle I could only drive in 3rd person view and the brakes would automatically come on when I hit the view with the aiming crosshairs....in elite I can drive and target at the same time.

With the tanks being able to drive and aim, while hiding in the trees that cannot be removed in settings... tanks may become an even bigger factor in btb games.

Hmmm, I wonder if chutes can get caught up in trees.

I used to jump out of C-123s,C-130s, and Hueys WAY back in the day . . . major pucker factor the first time I jumped out of the SPAD and came down in the middle of all those pointy Elite trees.
