No problem Mugue, the intentions were good and in the end it's still a useful bug report.

 

There's just been some general panic about hacking and cheating since the actual cheating was reported, caught and dealt with, which creates a bad atmosphere bordering witch-hunting.

[SYN_MrWolf]

mmm..not sure if it works this way. I just got banned for destroying a team mate on your server. Which ofcourse was never my intention..just an awfull ID-ing error. I am very sorry..

 

My ban is set to 167 hours ...is it possible to grant me a pardon? It won't happen again

There was unfortunate accident and my teammate was caught in my bomb blast.  This resulted in his death and me being banned.  This was certainly not my intent.  Not a great day for SYN squadron.  

 

I humbly request a lift on my ban.  I have already begged forgiveness from my teammate.

Hello gentleman and thank you for your dedication and work in this server. I played a few time and the last time I try to spawn in I get a message that is not clear for me. It says to drive to plane to replenish or something like that. I wrote a question on the chat and by the answer my understanding was that I need to ferry a cargo plane? Do I get that right? If yes why, from where and why a cargo plane?

 

Thanks

Click on the rearmost airbase and from there pick an aircraft that is labelled 'Supply' - preferably a He-111 or Pe-2 for convenience. After that, take off with it and land it in one piece at the nearest airport. After you finish flight, type supply on the chat and send it to the friendly team. Wait a minute or two and a message will tell you how many aircraft you have available now. If it still shows zero, it means you need to do another supply flight so rinse and repeat

Can I land at any friendly airfield or only the active one? When you say if it shows zero do another one, it kinda turn me off. Will I need to do that often?

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

Only active ones.

 

Here is how it works:

 

You start off on this server with three aircraft. If you lose all three (destroyed or crash-landed outside of airfield), you need to replenish the aircraft lost. Thus, you make a ferry flight to bring the new aircraft home whenever you run out of serviceable aircraft.

 

Usually a supply flight takes 5-12 minutes at most so it's not a problem, and it takes 1 or 2 flight at most to get a new aircraft. What I do is, whenever I am in the mood for free flight I go on the server and make 2, 3 supply runs in a row. That way I always have 2-3 aircraft and don't have to worry about it.

Thank you Lucas to help me understand :D I just quote your reply and highlight some part in bold to make it clear.

 

If I crash 3 Sturmovik, I need to do a ferry flight with 1 or 2 PE2's to replace my Sturmovik?  

[KoN_]

i dont think i have had any free aircraft always had to ferry supply runs .

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

The number of runs depends on how many 'supply points' you have. Next time you go on the server, pick a supply aircraft, open the chat and sent to the friendly team the word supply. After a minute or two, you will get a reply from the server saying "ATAG_dB, you have X aircraft and XYZ supply points." For you to get a new aircraft, the server needs to register 500 supply points. If memory doesn't fail me, a medium bomber (He-111 or Pe-2) will bring you some 350 supply points if you don't destroy it on landing, so when you do two runs with them you end up with 700 supply points, ergo 1 aircraft plus 200 spare points. Next time you do one supply run, you will have 550 points thus 1 more aircraft plus 50 spare points. One more supply run and you will have 400 points, not enough for a new aircraft, so you will need to do a second one which leaves you with 750 points (1 aircraft plus 250 points), and after that you only need to do one run for a new aircraft again. I could go on eternally but you get the concept.

 

Curiously the type of aircraft doesn't matter so you can make Pe-2s out of I-16s for example

[CisTer-dB-]

Thanks. That answer my question, it's unfortunate I really like this server. Not a fan of ferrying around

 

No time for that

Just adding a bit on what lucas said:

 

The word you have to type on team chat is "status" and not supply. The server takes a while to respond thogh.

 

111's/Pe2 = 450 points

110's = 350 points

Laggs/109s = 250 points

 

Once you hit 500 points, the server converts all those points into 1 plane. You can have a max of 3 planes.

 

You can also score points by destroying enemy aircraft/ground targets, those then are registered as "combat points" iirc. Those points are only converted to supply points after you land in an active airfield.

Whilst I understand that sentiment, 5-12 mins is not a lot of time

 

However the fact that this mechanic gives a real point to surviving and can help to prevent bad tactics and a more historical approach to pilot survivability is something to be encouraged

 

A lot more time can be wasted on some servers due to Kamikaze pilots etc.

 

Cheers Dakpilot

I understand that but for me, like many others it drive me way, there is alternative way to achieve the same.

Same for me . I understand you want us too look after our air frames , but the supply runs out weigh the combat time . 

When i loose air frame let say a JU88 what do i loose 350 points ..?

[TURK_Seymen]

Hello all.

 

it was happened last night and today.I  bombed at 0420.6 Artillery area and hited 29 targets.And back to home base with crash land.I am alive and my plane has too little damages..Server  give me friendly fire !!??can i hard landing and gives damage to my runway...is this friendly attack:) is it possible???

 

i was kicked last night in same problem..i checked map  i cant see friendly units in range... me and friend dive bomb and my wingman "freecan" banned . we only bomb enemy artilery...

 

thanks for your look

Same problem, the target showed red on the map, but it was friendly.

 

Please unban me.

May i ask what kind of alternativ ? Do you mean something more exciting ? Thus i don't hate supplying (a bit relaxing !) but two ways would be great to win planes !

[DukeMcFishy]

Hmm it seems that I've been banned from the DED Random Expert server, but I have no clue why? Did I accidentally bomb the wrong place or something? If so I apologize.

 

Edit: To clarify what might have happened.

 

I flew with my Stuka over the front line on my way to bomb a factory. Because I crossed the front line and I was on what I believe was the correct compass heading I spotted what I believed to be the factory. After going into a shallow dive and releasing my bomb I looked behind and saw the smoke rising from the facility. A couple of seconds after I was kicked and I had been banned. I still believe I bombed the correct target, but maybe I made a massive navigation error. I'm not entirely sure.

 

Anyways, again I apologize if I didn't bomb the correct target and would appreciate if the server admin sees it fit to forgive me and unban me. Thanks for reading.

Bonjour LaFrench-bexhausted. Thanks for interest on the subject of ferrying. I, for once, since the goal is to encourage the people to bring back their aircraft maybe giving more credit on bringing one, we could also have the option to use some credit to have cadet (AI) doing the ferry flights instead of us. Having the ability to re-fuel and re arm can also be an incentive. I do think that after a map change or 2 we should be allowed to comeback without having to ferry some "Cargo Planes".

 

Again I fully understand the effort, the works and the idea behind such a move however. I am sure that the vast majority of the players that goes into this server are genuinely looking for realistic action and want to stay alive and bring tier ship into port safely. In the same time some have limited time to organize a sortie or 2 without having to do this, it's a big turn off and it hinder the willingness for some to comeback.  

 

Respectfully

I tried to fly on the server today, but I always got the message: out of stock - DRIVE - supply etc ..   then I got booted. There is nothing in the briefing about this message.

ATAG db that's a great idea ! I know a lot of french pilots that are angry with supplying. They left the server because they said no time to spend to annoying thing. I understand that.

I also know how difficult it is to build a mission. So i agree totally with

 

Thanks guys for all the time and effort.

.

But if we could improve this point i hope many pilots will come back to fly into this awsome server.

I am a bomber pilot. Not very skilled. So i am used to be shot down (fighter, flak and other driving mistakes   ). But i am very proud when i come back with a more or less damaged plane. Despite my squadron leader 's congratulations no other awards or medals   .

Look, in this case, imagine you win a stock plane ( always max 3 planes )  it would be a great incentive to bring back a plane.

 

 

 

I am sure that the vast majority of the players that goes into this server are genuinely looking for realistic action and want to stay alive and bring tier ship into port safely

: I'm sure of it.

 

If you are shot down then it's supplying time.   Or be more lucky on the next mission and bring back a plane.

Two ways to win a stock plane. 

 

Not far away from the current rule. But i don't know if someone could write that kind of  script, perhaps it's not possible or demands too hard work ?

It's a little idea to try to improve gameplay.

Sorry for my (always ) bad english

...the goal is to encourage the people to bring back their aircraft maybe giving more credit on bringing one...

 

What pretension or it's a joke. And for how price...?

 

This rule does many pilots refuse to return to the server, often filled only half of WoL, if not less.

 

This should be the opposite because yours is better. But this rule contain several BIG problems.

 

- It prevent whole squads who want to continue flying together (without leaving a part of them to the supply).

 

- It discourage those who have less time for combat simulation.

 

- During WW2 the conveyors were often women, very exceptionally active war pilots (they had better things to do) This rule is also wrong with history.

 

-  Many pilots refuse to encounter planes with gunner (too dangerous)...

 

- After have been downed 1 ou 2 time, many of them  become sweet chicks then .  It's realy less dangerous to fly against them. It' was not the goal, but it's what what it does in fact.

 

I don't think fly supplies prevent bad behavior. This server stay (for me) among those where I saw more attack on bases, landing and take off (easier for sweet chicks).

 

At last I think, with your dream on 1st class pilots for your server , you exaggerate this phobia of kamikazes. They exist yes, and must be severely condemned. But they are few, far less than vulchers base the real plague of DFS.

 

This behavior can be signaled by chat and confirmed by track sent by email or forum for hard ban, like as time Spits vs 109s server (long time ago) of IL2-1946, where we flew every night until 90/100 pilots. It worked well on th most polular AND good DFS à this time.

 

There are necessarily other ways for let fly clean with more good guys on server.

 

But maybe most pilots is not your goal? If the response is yes, many of us would understand better.

Edited July 9, 2016 by otto_bann

[SYN_Mugue]

Dear server admins.,

It appears that I was involved in an inadvertent friendly fire incident. I was diving on the target and had just pickled my bomb when an Il2 came unseen, from the other direction, for the same target and must have caught some of my bomb blast. I've been "removed from flight status"(banned) pending an investigation of the incident.

 

I humbly throw myself on the mercy of the tribunal and beg for forgiveness and reinstatement of my fight status, so I may continue to fight for the motherland. Thank you, and thanks for the great server!

Hi Guys,

 

First off...  Great server.  Love it!

 

We hit a bug in a mission.  Shortly into a new round, all the targets became visible for the Russian side (posted this about 10-15 minutes after the occurrence).  This occurred with 3hours left in the round.

 

Here is the info from the Mission tab:

 

MissionGen generic

Date 19.12.1942

Time 14:00:00

"Flight of the Punisher"

 

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks again for a great server!

From the morning trying but nothing.

maintenance?

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

They are updating the maps. There was a new one late last night on the Normal server. Somewhat incomplete and with relatively few objects.

 

This is fairly common. They go down for a half day to a day and a half to update the maps after a Dev/game update. Usually about two weeks after a major update to let their designers incorporate the changes they want. So, they are pretty much right on schedule.

 

You can expect a new map or two and new objects on some or all of the exsisting maps (Tanks, guns, etc)

I think you really have to hit stuff like buildings or vehicles and planes.
