If you find server (router/NAT bug limits available server a lot) that has good connection it is very fun. Other player are much more aggressive and talented than any AI. You really cannot fly straight very long before you have some one following you and shooting.

Generally Fokkers will own in turn fight and Spads will boom & zoom as they are much faster and climbs better. If you find youself in SPad and Fokker with altitude adventage you are pretty bad position

I have only flied those 10min "team deathmatches" (usually 6 vs 6 players. Empty player places are filled with AI) and never tried missions.

One idea that I like is "victory streak" count. It count your vistories as long as you manage stay alive (you can crash land or get wounded and it doesent reset. Only if you are killed it will reset). Counter is connected to your account so it will work in different servers and wont reset when you go offline.

Major bug in it is that you can "fool" it, by doing your own server where there is only AI opponents (so you can get pretty high counts without any human opponents). But an idea level it pretty neat.

It's great fun when you can actually get to play. The implementation is poor and the waiting is not good, but the combat itself is great fun. The other day I flew a ballon busting mission over the lines on a rainy day, I got a Fokker and found the balloons, but then had a random memory error and the game locked up. The mission itself was awesome but again the software killed it.

Also, They need to work on the scoring system so you know who you shot down and when. It's much more fun that way.

I've been trying to host a server, but no dice until they fix the router bug. Pretty ridiculous that they released it like that in the first place.
