Got the apple update applied last evening. It was like I could actually shoot a plane flying at me again. I don't have time to read all the stuff on all the threads, I was not aware that there had been changes made to eliminate engine hits. I just thought my skills were diminishing because I don't have as much time to play the game. Well at least last night I was a different player. It was fun as opposed to frustrating.
That being said, ZUP, please know this, I am a straight on fighter, I suck at turn fighting, I don't like turn fighting, my arms get tired holding that ipad in the air, my wife thinks I am plum loony when I get in a turn encounter. I don't find that fun at all.
So if I find that you diminish straight on fighting in the future like you apparently did for awhile by eliminating engine hits, that will be my cue to leave this game.
