And no Sortie Log to prove that this fuc*ing Yak straffed Soviets and shot at our Pe-2s returning from a bomber raid yesterday evening... :/

 

 

I have a track to see his nickname, but I launched the track too late and he already shot... so no video proof

We hoped to have the proof with the Sortie Log since he damaged Pe-2s (with navigation lights on...) and he straffed fighters on our own base... but since Sortie Logs didn't record on website, do you have a way to find it? :/

It clearly wasn't a mistake... Is there a way to ban definitely somebody on this server?

 

    IMPOSSIBLE! The fly supply rule is there to prevent the kamikaze attitudes, the only efficient way, do you remember?. So you dreamed, it's obvious

?

Where is the link between a guy doing a serie of mulple teamkills on purpose, supply rule and kamikaze attitudes?

?

[Otto_bann]

The serious! You can never stop a kamikaze or an idiot with rules which will not effective and limit all honest pilots at same time. With enough points, idiot does what he wants (kamikazes with 10 000 points is possible you know)... As you yourself proposed in your prevent message and like I said many long time ago, only the ban will work and will not hinder the others.

I think Autobalancer is a very bad move. Plenty of people simply will not fly for the other side.

Keep calm, we work. Tasks for auntie Ju will come soon

Thank You Crusader! I am looking forward to this, I love this server, and flying Auntie Ju would be fantastic! Please make it accessible for those who have no more than 500 points!

Yeah, I also think many people will likely refuse to fly the other side, no matter how imbalanced it is.

Edited December 21, 2016 by Silas

I agree with you. 

Auto balancer in not adapted in this gameplay because the planes are so different so they would not likely to change side. 

A yak has a different behavior than the bf109 for example. We can not expect 109 pilot to fly a Yak most likely.

Autobalance would be good only if each side has the same planeset which is not valid in this simulator.

[=EXPEND=13SchwarzeHand]

I think autobalance does not make sense in this campaign type server. I don't want to undo all the progress I have made flying for one side. Since it is especially the long term consequences which make this type of game play attractive, I do not think it will have any effects except less people joining.

[72AG_Crusader]

Statistics repaired.

 

About the autobalancer. It has very flexible configuration abilities. By default its config is worst thing I could imagine. But now I can set it up any way I want.

 

Many of you wrote before, that 60 vs 20 ruins gameplay. And I agree with you. Why are you so angry about this type of solution? 

 

For example: balancer could stay disabled until 40 aircrafts will be spawned simultaneously.

Thanks for the stats !

[SCG_happy_meal]

I am a little curious what the player that did add two 100kg bombs to the mc.202 did achieve with them,

 must have been something spectaculare to make them cost 1750 when the plane cost 250

The Russian side wins every single battle ..... why exactly do we need that auto balancer ???? 

[72AG_Crusader]

Okay, I disable it tomorrow.

[I./JG1_Nechy]

bravo thanks Gj

[Angus]

Okay, I disable it tomorrow.

Nice

[III./ZG1_LoHan]

disable the autobalancer please............. ur server was our favoured squad-server, with autobalancer on, lots of members cant come on the same side at the same time, then they leaving frustrated.........yea, its boring :D

 

At the end, thks for that server Crusader! S!

Will you turn the normal Random server?

Random normal started. 

[=38=Tatarenko]

Okay, I disable it tomorrow.

Thank you.

14 of the top 20 players fly Red so the overall numbers (more Germans) don't matter so much.

Actually, I was asking for a balance some weeks ago and I proposed a balance by numbers, thinking it could be a solution even if it could make some players change server.

 

But nowadays I think you achieved a pretty correct balance just by tweaking the objectives (VVS can destroy convoys easily and have more difficulty on warehouses, when it's the opposite for Luftwaffe) and the economy (not perfect here but in good way in my opinion)

All of those adjustments made that now even a 45vs25 can be defendable, when it clearly wasn't the case before (thanks to the less camped airfields...)

Yesterday evening we successfully defended the last two Soviet tanks alive from a column during the last 15 minutes of the map, outnumbered by Germans incoming from everywhere, gosh it was a moment of pure tension, but so exciting 

 

So yeah, I think that now a balance by numbers isn't the right solution.

A proverb in French says "Only idiots don't change their minds"... I guess it's applicable here!

I add just few notices.

 

As a long-time online campaign player I can say that I continue to play my side at any circumstances. I remember playing the VVS on old Il-2 TAW server. I played regularly despite the first two years of every war I faced the situation like 4 VVS vs +20 LW. The only effect any restriction of player numbers has on 9 out of 10 player is that they just stop play. That's something no one wants to see. The only feasible way I see to balance number is limited the top tier planes for overpopulated side.  On the other hand if there is a suitably balanced plane set, the only way how to prevent the stalemate on front is to achieve a numerical advantage. So balance the number of player could be counterproductive. Just my two cents.

 

Anyway I'm happy you remove that restriction in general. You have made an astounding job with your campaign and more over it's good to see you listen the player's feedback.

 

S!

[I./JG1_Nechy]

now are every germans airfield grey for me,  and its 6 rus vs 1 german and i cant play as german, ( No Objects)

Limit top tier plane would really be great... For any side ...

Thank you for making Tante Ju available for Russians,

To avoid confusion, I use the special skin,

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/uploads/monthly_12_2016/post-19-0-71748100-1482189014.jpg

 

but it would be good if someone make a Russian skins (green with red stars) 

I do not think a server can host custom skins and lock it, but we have to begin with something...

Glad you enjoyed this

 

Soon I'll make a restriction of skin usage on Ju-52 to prevent frienldy kills.

[Nil]

That is good, I always thought a Russian official skin for Russian would be good, because we do not have C47 for Russians (yet)

This one is not good because it is a civil one (pre war)  but there is the red star.

 

Here is some Li2 for color inspiration

Did you add a time penalty after death?

 

Got one shoted by a German AA (as always...) and I had a 200 sec penalty for spawning?

It can pretend to be TB-1   they were retired in 1948

Yes. 3.5 minutes penalty after death.

[6./ZG26_Gielow]

some doubts here about Ju52:

 

1.How many credits do we get for each supply run in the 52??

 

2.Do we need to fly 15 minutes to supply run count??

 

3.Can we take cargo or we need to have empty load out + 100% fuel to count??

 

Thanks !!!

1. 2000

2. No flight time required. Only run between 2 airfields, no matter how far (at least 5km distanse between them)

3. Empty loadout for now. Fuel doesnt matter.

[IRRE_Centx]

Yes. 3.5 minutes penalty after death.

 

Ok good to know

Have you changed the leaderboard scoring somehow? Said went from 10,000K to 23,000K in 4 missions and I just jumped 2,000K in a mission. What has changed?

Excellent Dakpilot, I submited a request in the skin section. I hope someone will make it. It seems to be a simple skin to make so wait and see !
