Upon launching scout at the start of the round (ship = prem. Murmansk), the flight time is 40-50 seconds, then the scout returns, and the wait is 5-6 minutes before the next launch. I would expect the scout to stay aloft for longer. Am I missing something re: scout operation? The second launch of the round lasts longer - I don't recall exact times, but 2nd scout does not boomerang like the first - it is usable for battle. Also, is there any control for scout operation? Can I send him to a particular spot on the map and have it patrol that area? Does anyone have a useful link explaining scout behavior. Otherwise, kudos to WG, the beta is fun.

I play on a low end (as far as graphics are concerned) laptop and have fps in the 20-30 range at low qty settings, which is low, but not unexpected. It ain't a gaming machine but I have yet to see the jaggies or wires. Ditto the sound comments - I thought it was too much bass for my crummy laptop speakers but look forward to the fix. The only real complaint about graphics now is that there are no bow waves or fantails visible, especially at long distances. Again, I haven't tried higher graphics settings, and this may be on purpose for game play reasons , but it would be a nice, useful touch especially when fully zoomed.
