Online War 24/7

[Y29.Layin_Scunion]

This was the only thing that makes my life harder in Fighting Legends. As a half baked noob I have enough with ATAs, attitude, temps, fuels, visuals in the sky, visuals on the ground...

 

That GPS was the only thing making my life easier, even when I only take a look at it once in a while and I use the real compass in the plane.

 

Anyway, I'll have to get used to it

Once you learn the areas, it becomes natural.  Even the map setup way West of Stalingrad.  You start to recognize things....just like how experienced pilots did operating in the area.  You learn the landscape.  

 

Just remember, the three R's.  Rivers, roads and ridges.  The most recognizable things to follow and lead you to somewhere.

 

-snip-

Good stuff.  I'll definitely be checking this out then.  I can see how tank objectives definitely shouldn't be an hour investment.  I'd say put them away from objectives that are at most, a 10-15 minute drive straight there.  It shouldn't be spawn in, drive 100m and you're already engaged either.  A happy medium would bring more people over the two extremes.

 

Server sounds great and will keep most of the riff-raff away I think.

[Sokol1]

I spawned in a T-34.  The briefing was to head west  to take the German airfield.  I connected onto a road to get there quicker.  The number of people on the server was low and most were flying.  I did not come across any enemy units along the way.  The drive however took about an hour and that was to get just close to the airfield.  Once I got there, I was taken out in a matter of seconds. 

 

 

Probable you are hit be airfield AAA, when the server are empty the AI concentrate in your tank and hit you from ~2.5 KM or more. 

Attack a airfield with tanks without friendly aircraft to "distract" the defenses is pure suicide.

Ya, I figured as much.  Thought I might at least get in sight of the runway though.  lol.  Just testing things out.

This is the right order. You need to master the first one before go to next step.

 

What's the point in shooting down the entire server if you can't land. You would be dismissed by your superior officer and join infantry.

 

Practice, practice, practice.

I am used to navigation IRL so it wont take long. Here I use a cheap Logitech 3D joystick, not the HOTAS and pedals I am used to so half my workload is holding the joystick all the time so the 109 does not turn left all the time. Once that is set and my hand is steady, I can start the navigation.

 

What I am used to IRL, luckily, is dogfight and there is where I have to start improving my skills not to get lost.

[-DED-Rapidus]

This server had 3 blocks idea, every blocks, as bricks, consumer front line, side who almost dominate in this blocks take out front line to next position, on east or west.

[7.GShAP/Silas]

I'm very, very glad this is up now(even if WIP) . I'll be moving my flying time there, along with my comrades.

 

 

Thanks for this!

 

 

EDIT: I have to say, the idea of flying recon to locate enemy troops is just cool.

Why "suffer", use that (gamey)  "Autopilot for level flight" to look at map, navigate... 

[Sokol1]

Be tests I did in DED (NORMAL), the AAA see your tank through the terrain.

 

The only change to defeat then if you are alone is take first the FLAK guns behind MG positions, as seem the more close positions see you first.

 

Task virtually impossible in "EXPERT" server because involve in correct estimation of distances, above 2KM... At this distance is not possible to correctly distinguish the target.

I do, once I am at altitude, but for climbing you have nothing, it´s pure flying by hand which I like, but IRl, not that much in a sim

That is realistic, and that is what a versatile 88 mm does. The non-official record on the German side, was to hit a T-34 at 3 Km with a 88 mm. 

 

Some 88 emplacements are not placed close to Airfield, but are well camouflaged. Always look for a perfect Ambush situation in which, one can find itself in a crossfire of 88. For example after a long slow drive, where the road goes down and the tank driver is happy to accelerate, at a speed that goes faster that one's brains will be able to record anomalies in the environment....lol! 

 

But i haven't yet experienced 88 shooting through the terrain. 

 

Observation of 88 mm emplacement is wise and part of the task of a tanker in oder to deploy like water, away from the 88 mm field of view. Besides, until Tigers appears in the game, those 88 emplacement won't be moving. Even forbid!

Bah, probably won't be able to try this tonight, if it is still up.

 

Maybe tomorrow morning. Anyway, sounds like fun!

 

Only way to really learn to navigate is to jump on in and fly without the GPS anyway. It's a lot easier than most think.

[I./ZG1_HeTzeR]

Is this the new "ADW" we had a Poll on before?

 

Edit: If yes, will Planesets be a thing of the future? And Medals?

[SR-F_Winger]

Was bigtime fun yesterday. Thanks for making this effort. Let us know when we can donate:)

Looking forward to fly there again today.

I am so happy we got some very good alternatives to WOL now. And that people realize that and start flying there.

[-DED-Rapidus]

Thx Winger, hetzer it's not new adw, it's simple server with randomized ground forces.this is server, it's Polygon for new technologies, our team experimented with new possibilities but who knows...

[I./ZG1_HeTzeR]

I ask because someone from your team( I guess) told me some things will be done like in ADW...So I hoped for smth like that :/ Thats what I understood was the Donation for, making an Online War like the good old ADW

[-DED-Rapidus]

we dont need in donation, thanks 777-1CGS team and personaly Jason.

ADW,hmm, i hoped so, but likely going step by step, from small project, small possibilites to more and more.

Question:  Do you have, or do you plan to implement, =FB=Vaal's stat program?

[bokepacha]

Yesterday I could only connect at around 04:30z and we were only 3 people, flying all in the same axis team, but i used that calmed time to improve my navigation skills and get to know the map a little bit better.

 

It was nice, but AAA is a bit angry with me. I was flying my 109F4, 2500m and I flew over a new industrial target, 2AAA hit me and broke my elevator. On the next sortie, I tried to destroy them but they must be aces, because even trying to avoid a predictible path, they managed to take me down several times.

 

Anyway, it's nice to be able to use my unlocks, finally. I wish I can find some american timezone people tonight!

Is it possible to have an updated map on the server's web site???

I don't understand what do you mean. Sorry. 

Edited December 10, 2015 by -DED-ASF

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

I think he means a map on the website that shows the current situation in the front (ie frontlines, airbases and such).

Every new mission we have new pack of airfields:)

Map on the website...

Maybe later. 

First of all we need to adjust a processes on blocks, create logical links, add this things in generator, etc....

[SR-F_Winger]

Sadly there were very few players on the server yesterday.

I hope everone tries it. Its so much better with actually having to find the targets yourself. That they dynamically spawn on diffrent locations each round is also a BIIIIG plus (they do that - right? )

Its not like on all hte other server where you exactly know where to fly at the beginning of each round. They always run more or less the same. This server feels so much more dynamic.

I hope many people will come online today.

Edited December 11, 2015 by Winger

[-DED-ASF]

Of course

From today it will be 2 blocks in rotation - north and middle. 

Also added sending a chat message concerning detection of the enemy in the rear. Your command will receive message :

"Square ## report: detected enemy forces" in the case of discovering  of friendly object or its destruction.

Flying on your server feels really immersive. Its  awhole diffrent thing when you dont already know that when you fly to location XY that you will be jumped by lots and lots of opponents.

Like someone said before it would be good to be able to see the own Icons. And a message when they get attacked would be needed as well.

[7.GShAP/Silas]

That it's the best server out there is no question.  Now to try and make sure it's the most populated.

[Jade_Monkey]

I'll give it a shot next week, it's gonna be a busy weekend for me.

The problem is not only there are few players. The problem is that usually (yesterday for example) you find 3-4 people connected and all of them on the same team, usually axis.

 

In my case, all my russian planes are stock so there is not much I can do until I find time to unlock stuff with them, which takes time.

 

Anyway, I hope this weekend we see more people!

Unlocks dont make planes "uber". And can make some boring, like all Luftwaffe bombers with only 1/2.000 KG bombs and frame drop explosions if server dont limit this "Hollywood".

Not uber, but some more fun. If my fighter can carry a bomb or I can change my nose 20mm gun for another cannon or the IL2 can change to 23mm, it's something. Anyway I'll give it a try and balance the teams.

 

I have the Christmas dinner at my company so I won't be online until late IF I can connect today...

 

But free food is free food

[kestrel79]

Cool sounds like my kinda server! I'm in.

[SR-F_Winger]

Again big fun today. Seems this is becoming my new favorite server.

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

I have flown a few sorties over a couple of days.  Plenty to keep one challenged.  Hands down the best server to date.  Keep up the good work!

Generator learned to write in English  

Thanks to Taleks.

So it will be a little bit easier to understand, what happens in mission.

Can we have limited Airplanes or if we destroy A B and C Factroy in the back, the Airfields get no "new airplanes" and from this moment on, they will be limited.

 

This would be awesome

Yes. Later. WIP.

[I./ZG1_HeTzeR]

Okay, one more thing: I just tested the Server:

 

If possible make the Spotting of a Target a colored text on the screen, not in the chat.

 

And please make the planes spawn with engines off. It kills this awesome experience if you are spawning with a plane already good to go.

 

 

[-DED-ASF]

 

 

make the Spotting of a Target a colored text on the screen

At the moment must come red screen message. If not - tell us pls.

Different colours for spotting messages - we have it on our features list, but I can't say when it will happens
