    read the bit on matchmaking and progression. Apparently the new system should remove the times where a player is in a match with a higher rank plane than they are supposed to. I've seen rank 6-7s in games for 4-5.

    Oh man! Good to have you back Tenius! Now all we need is for Sedsibi to show his face and I can close the recruitment :)

    Just so you lot know, there is a research bonus for flying HB/RB (X2) and FRB/SB (X3). This is not shown in your RP rewards earned but rather applied directly to your research. So don't panic that your earn the same amount of points for actions as you do in AB.

    Get home and start downloading...took forever. This patch is huge.

    After reading the other thread, I'd like to try FRB.

    Wow, the interface overhaul makes it look like a whole new game!

    And the Japs got some new planes, so even if all the rest of the changes suck (not that they will), I'd still be happy :)
