SqdLdr_DC_Fairbanks Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Wait. June 2019? This can't be true...can it? I am fairly new to BoS and was totally new to TAW, only joining towards the end but I am totally addicted. I have been checking if it was back up 2 or 3 times a day. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I AM GOING TO WASTE CHECKING IF TAW IS BACK MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, EVERYDAY, UNTIL JUNE!!! *sob* Thanks to the TAW team for all your work... yet... *sob*

Thanks for the campaign and all the effort you put into this. Is there any specific reason for this long period between campaigns? Maybe waiting for more content or netcode fixes from 1C? Also, why not opening the server with past campaigns? Thanks in advance 1

Aero*Bohemio Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Relax guys, it's a joke...Rocco Siffredi usually does this, painful jokes But this time Po2 will be added, plus many changes probably taking some of the suggestions being made by us during last edition; so if it's usually an average 3 or 4 weeks in between editions, i guess this time it's probably 1.5 or 2 months. OT. good, so i can focus on DCS till then (F-14 here i go).

Blakhart Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) TAW dogfight test ( in progress) server is up. Fast dogfight, airstart. Limited loadout & planes as for future planned historical planese. Enjoy! Edited January 20, 2019 by =LG=Blakhart 1 1

Some feedback on the planeset, you can take off the bomb modification of the Yak so it neglets the limitation, same would apply to the F-4. Speed isn't the only aspect to a plane performance, power to weight ratio also matters, which isn't really affected by the pylons. So imho for 1941 maps we should stick with F-2 and E-7 vs I-16 and MiG-3. Edited January 21, 2019 by -=PHX=-SuperEtendard 3

Good for balance but not really historical. 1.42ata was cleared in late 1941, sooner then the (late model) Mig-3 we have in game was used in combat. If it will be historical, it should be strict. So it should be F2 - I16 and F4 - Mig3 regarding timeline. We don't have to bother about Yak, the Yak1 with P engine was a lot worse then the Mig3 late. If it will not be historical it should be communicated openly and then balance can be applied as in the last TaW (I don't care about either method) Edited January 21, 2019 by II./JG77_Manu*

Garven Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 In game specs for the Mig 3 say the combat debut was July 1941.

I don't find the performance numbers i posted a while ago about a handful of Mig-3s in autumn 1941 right now (they were vastly inferior to our in-game one), but if we would assume you are right, there would still be only a couple of month between 1.42ata and the Mig-3, next to the fact that the "non-1.42 ata" F4 was still there in numbers in october and a lot closer in performace to our F4 then F2. If we keep going on like your example, the G2 must be available sooner then the Yak-1, G6 sooner then La5-FN etc. In the end, when we want to keep it realistic, every scenario should have a fixed date, then you could clearly say which aircraft have been around and which have not. 1
Leutnant_Artur Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Since last month historic planeset is our (team) topic nr one. We will present it with historic facts before next campaign. We also have balance solutions. Stay tuned ! 1 2

For planes that appear in the middle you can squeze them before or after. You can divide a year in 3 or 4 parts and then have the planes that appeared roughly inside those brackets showing up on that map. These are the current speed values for the MiG since now it has to deal with the radiator pressure effect at medium and high altitudes. Edited January 21, 2019 by -=PHX=-SuperEtendard 1 1
yogy Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Attached you find a compilation of the Soviet aerial forces fighting in the Battle of Moscow deatiled into types for October 1941. Amongst them are - I-16 - Pe-2 - MiG-3 - LaGG-3 - Yak-1 - IL-2 of which we have more or lesse fitting subtypes in the sim. 2

If everyone donates $10 that signed up, they can rent more space, making it less laggy. It wasn't that we had a choice in the matter. Unless you were playing a strategy game (WarCraft, StarCraft, MechWarrior, Etc:) on KALI almost every decent game was run through a paid by the hour service back then. There were the "cheesy" flight sims and then there was the full realistic, or as best as there could be by the standards of the day, that played on pay services. WarBirds ran the first game based server followed soon by Aces High, but you also had to purchase the game and a monthly sub fee. Later came the Grandiose world of WWIIOL (now BattleGroundEurope) that was more than sandbox play. The cost was just 13.99/mo and almost every flight sim enthusiast went there and crashed the servers and netcoding for the first two months. Now even though you say IL2 is free to play you really don't understand the concepts of how it works. SOMEONE is paying for you to play the game. The game is routed through IL2 (1Csoft) to verify the version and Goodies you have purchased and can use. Other than that little tidbit someone else is paying for a server to run the game on. Knights of the Air, Wings of Liberty, TAW, Menacing Ferrets and all those servers you see in the list, someone is paying for. There are reasons why they ask for donations on those other servers. It's because they would like help in offsetting the cost of the server. They build the scenarios, they host the scenarios, and we enjoy the scenarios. To not help them out with a small donation monthly is just plain rude in my opinion. I give a small donation now to two different servers as well as host two servers for other Sims to operate on. And believe me when I tell you that it does cost a good deal of money to do so but it is nothing compared to what we "Old Timers" used to shell out back in the day. >S< Edited February 3, 2019 by JG51_Ogg 2 4
