Tangmere Pilots Friday public CO-OP

[No601_Prangster]

Hi all and welcome to the Tangmere Pilots public co-op server. 

 

Every Sunday (apart from summer and Christmas breaks) the Tangmere Pilots virtual squadron run a co-op mission, players against AI. We've been doing this every weekend for the last thirteen years with IL-2, 1946, CLoD and now Battle of Stalingrad. Three weeks ago we started our new campaign based around the battle of Velikiye Luki and because we've all been enjoying it so much we thought it would be good to share some of the fun with the wider community. So from this Friday we'll be running the campaign on our public server and giving access to our TeamSpeak room.

 

As we've never tried public co-ops before will start off with a maximum of 12 slots available. No need to book just show up at the start time and join. We'd encourage you all to use TeamSpeak as we'll need to be coordinated in the air. The mission will last about forty-five minutes to an hour. If this Friday is a success we'll run the rest of the campaign

 

SERVER NAME: Tangmere Pilots public co-op

 

TEAMSPEAK: To be confirmed later 

 

START TIME: Friday 26th June at 20:00 GMT(9pm UK time). Since this is a co-op mission all pilots need to be in the server by 20:10.

 

SPAWN: Enter the server and select a Yak-1 on the Spawn airfield. You'll spawn on the runway but with you engine off. Please wait for the green flare before taking off.

 

IT'S A CO-OP: We're all on the same side trying to complete a mission against the AI so please respect other players and importantly, have fun!

 

 

Velikiye Luki 01

 

10:45. 18 November, 1942. Staraya Toropa airfield, Kalinin Front

 

Yak-1s of the 32nd IAD (Fighter Aviation Regiment) of the 210th IAD (Fighter Aviation Division), 3rd Air Army.

 

BRIEFING:- Comrades, the 32nd IAD have been ordered forward to an airfield 40km from the frontline. Our new airfield is located near Lake Dvinye and we’ll land there on the way back from this morning’s escort mission. 

 

The take-off signal will be a single green flare. Form up with the PE-2 taking-off from the runway to our right. You’ll escort the Pe-2s to the rail yards at Novosokolniki. Bombing altitude is 4000m and the attack run will commence from the south. Get the bombers to the target and back over our frontline then land at Dvinye. 

 

INTELLIGENCE:- The Stavka is committing more and more units to this sector of the front. 

 

WEATHER:- Patchy low cloud.

 

MISSION SUCCESS:- No more than 2 PE-2s are lost.

We should have a small fast action low down tnb DF server up for about 30 minutes beforehand. Nothing tactical or clever, just enough time to get a grin on your face, for the LW types (ie. me) to whinge about the Yak and for everyone to get controls and comms sorted.

Well worth joining us to check these missions out guys and girls. Our mission designers really are top notch, and so far all of us are absolutely loving this campaign and the atmosphere and immersion they are managing to create. 

 

Have a go - what have you got to lose?

"IT'S A CO-OP: We're all on the same side trying to complete a mission against the AI so please respect other players and importantly, have fun!"

 

Danggit mate, you've beaten me to the press on that one! I had just thought I should start creating one sided, we are all on the same side, missions.

 

Truly, I dislike the pauke pauke, rata tat tat infusion of video game, king of the hill, myopic, terminator hunt, kill to death, die die die mindset, mostly.

 

What a divergent waste, of the true beauty of a simulator, the efforts made in the physics, the scenery, the clouds, the history, you know, the hobby.

 

Any who, Bob's your Uncle,

 

And thanks for your efforts!

~S~ Prangster,

 

I also want to comment here, your group's website, http://www.tangmerepilots.co.uk/index.htm is absolutely excellent.

 

The presentation of historical events, maps, .etc, is very well done. A true example of what I've alluded to in the previous post.

 

Hats off!

Why fly against AI. We would love to join you on your server as much as we would appreciate you being our guests on ours.

Maybe we could combine our efforts.

[All credit to TP_Reggie. He transformed the website and forum from something that 'worked' to something so shiny and nice that I usually hesitate to spoil it with mere  'messages'. He did this firstly for CloD and now for BoS. The guy's a genius. Mrs Reggie helps too, apparently.  ]

 

[Actually the old website - this is going back to the two-thousand-and-nothing prehistoric years - was great too, but was creaky and dusty...]
