Tactical Air War

[Sketch]

My buds just got the game, joined TAW and it kept saying "You can't use the IL-2 1942 or you'll be kicked." Shouldn't he be able to use this right away?

Hey,

 

So i play my first misión on the Axis but then i started to play with the Allies, and today i couldn't play any more with he allies... i know that you can not switch factions but can i be only on the Allies side? Can i get a restart please

The flak is really impressive, with lots of 85mm shells exploding everywhere and hail of tracers shot at you. I love it, it's really intimidating, great for immersion and stressful when they start focusing you only. But if you handle it properly without getting cocky, a lucky hit may happen but most often than not you will be able to safely fly back to base with maybe just a few holes in the the plane. It's far less frustrating than getting sniped half the time by the 37mm on the other servers. 

 

I totaly agree with you ! 

And one more time (but not the last one) Admin Team : thanks a lot for spending time to build these missions !

Best regards

Hi, Wicher! I have the same problem like Walther51. Additional my "Experience" was equal to zero. What is the reason wy, can you tell me? Thx for answer.

 

Your 0  experience is not a bug, like Blackhart wrote we change system of experience, now you get '-' points for deaths/captured/bails out and your total experience currently is -2400 but in script if you have less than 0 exp it is set to 0, that is why in your profile is 0 exp not -2400 what it really is

TAW admin:

Is there anyway to delete a squad?

Is it possible to change squad belongings?

 

You can leave squad by going to your profile http://taw.stg2.de/login.php?page=pilot and pressing "Resign from squadron" button (I'm not sure is it working)

It is for sure some bug in script that you was able to change sides, you chosed Axis as first and there is no changing sides durning WAR so you should stick with Axis for now

Hello TAW team:

I had a bad surprise tonight wit the map Stalingrad_Centre#121 when i left flight. Server said "FRIENDLY FIRE and not air kill (air kill appear in sorties only) but i am not guilty, theres no friend near me in the fight with La-5. La-5 crushed me.

 

My video of this situation (the action is in 1:05 minutes):

Thank you

 

What you mean server said "Friendly Fire"? In sortie the only kill you have is this La-5 so I don't see any problem to worry about.

And you don't have this Air Kill in your general statistics because to make kills (air and gorund) counts to your stats you have to survive the sortie.

The new degradation system is harsh like Stalins NKVD, in just two mission from Captain i become Sergant. It's good idea but to effective for my taste. Maybe the switch to new system is problem - diffrent amount of points now than before for earning military rank?

It is weird, he should be. I don't know why he wasn't. Kathon will have to check the logs.

good population yesterday - we activated "server overload" warning message easily

 

1) I wanna ask about web map icon - there was "building" target icon over city Draganov (ingame briefing - Allies cities - talks about this too, but ingame map icon was not shown). We flown there and find nothing but city buildings. We drop our bombs there, but no stats records. What this target icon on web map means?

 

2) I have no problem with aircraft limitations and resuply mechanics.

Is it possible (in the future) think about 3rd stage of resupply rule for very long flights? Tipically bombruns deep in enemy territory or well flown fighter patrols/covers. These usually last more than 1 hour - in these cases its harder to resupply some important planes. Its not critical, but it can be handy.

[=LG/F=Kathon]

To win the whole war the side has to win two maps in a row.

 

By destroying enemy defense position (artillery) city is defenseless and it's easy to capture it by friendly tank convoy protected by airplanes.

Done.

Because of the fixed bug in the script there will be exception. Please check pm.

Ad1. Those are cities that enemy may capture. There may be generated defense position or tank convoy.

Ad2. Good point.

Thanks for the aclaration. My english is not too well, so maibe I have expressed wrong. My worry is that now I have a friend kill after the sortie with La5 (attached image 2 in original post). I dont remember to kill a friend, also I cant check all my sorties (only until map Stalingrad_South#61) to re-check if I kill a friend (I dont remember but I prefer to check). Is possible you check all my sorties internally if I kill a friend?

Thank you

Guys, did you implement the players number quota idea that was proposed earlier? I see that a few germans are storming the front without anyone on the red side (or just 1 or 2 courageous guys) and the front is moving fast...

[=ARTOA=Bombenleger]

Is it intedned that some objectives are covered by excessive amounts of aa?
Dive bombing is impossible like this and even supressing aa with fighters or attackers is useless because u get shot down instantly even when attacking with a teammate.
Is it intedned like this so only level bombing at high altitudes is possible?

What objectives do you mean? All targets for now in my and some others opinion have even week AA. The only targets that have massive anti-air are airfields but yes the airfields should be level bombed not in any other way

[=ARTOA=Bombenleger]

I attacked a factory that was located way in a corner in the back and it had 14 aa´s which is absolutely insane

There is now a Big Problem in TAW.

All RED Bases closed.

On a Position with Red Tanks, there are only Trucks, but undestroyable with SC500 and SC250!?!?!?

[SAG]

RPK works here and whatever was causing my disconnects is fixed now!

 

i love how the server admins listen to user input and implement changes real quick!

 

Best server in the game IMHO!

 

so....

 

THANKS! :D

 

no i just need to be a better pilot XD

[curiousGamblerr]

RPK works here

 

 

 

I gotta remember to start bringing that thing! Really great they've included it in TAW.

 

A few questions, searching for RPK didn't help me... Is there any drawback to bringing RPK besides maybe a little weight? And does it always point to your home airfield, or does it point to the closest beacon regardless of where you take off?

 

Back on the topic of TAW, 19th Guards will probably be on this evening around 8pm EDT, if anyone needs an escort or wants to try flying with us.

[=LG/F=Kathon]

Another DServer bug related with no changing the map. Some of the flight logs lost and I had to restart server manually.  I'm thinking how to prevent such situations in the future.

When I was testing it RPK was pointing the closest beacon regardless of where you take off.

[HR_Tofolo]

The Shkolniy defense is inactive, so in addition to the unbalanced quorum and the usual voulchers it makes no fun at all for the red side.

 

Could you check it please?

[=Abutres=Mutley1]

You are auto registered after you connected to the server and choosed side (red or blue) by plane , just wait or ask for password.

[ROSS_BerryMORE]

Are the RED fields closed? Yesterday one of my friend cant choose any red field.

[Darth_Bot]

I think it's not justly to deprive a rank, if it's not friendly fire or betrayal or cowardice )

Penalty just should to make growth to the next rank harder.

Good idea Latart with more point to next rank after killed, crashed or captured! Same with zero-ing current rank points.

hello Guys,

great server, but I have one little question. I didn't found the answer on the page nor here by scrolling over the forum.

How can I see when one campain is over or how can I tell how far progressed the current campain is?

Currently I fly for the reds and I want to know when I have the possibility to switch sides.

Edited July 22, 2016 by DerSheriff

[216th_Jordan]

Team red sure is not knowing what it is doing. since more than 8 Missions kalach is at 75%, just 1% away from disabled and nobody just drops 1 bomb on it to do that. we cannot win this round

Edited July 22, 2016 by 216th_Jordan

[PeterZvan]

I hope that in the future the organisation of actions / missions will happen on the forum as well - perhaps with closed off subsections which are accesible only to the players which are registered to each side.

This way organised actions can be planned and executed - that would bring a very big strategical aspect into it as well. Not to say also organise flight / attack groups.

check web http://taw.stg2.de/. To win the war one side have to win 2 maps in row. If there is mission in progress, campaign is not over and you have to fly same side as you joined for first time. And how close we are to finish current map you can check by map situation and Axis/Allies lost. There are limits 900 planes or 400 lost tanks per side - after this map ends.

Because we still asking many things answered few pages ago (they are lost there), I collected important informations about TAW from previous pages of this thread. Thats nothing more than you can find here and what =LG= squad members wrote (Kathon, Blakhart, Wicher). Ill try to update it until official manual will be ready.

Is "one map" one Battle? So a new Map every 2 hours, if no other criteria are fulfilled? So one campain is minimum 4 hours?

But I guess I understand something wrong here

 

I have some problems with the definition of winning "one map" "the war" and "one campain" if that makes any sense.

Well I see that few dedicated Axis players are gonna win whole map alone Well i left mother USSR defend only by AI during work hours. Maybe this evening we gonna have chance to fight back or it will be WO.

Edited July 22, 2016 by 307_Tomcat

[HR_Tofolo]

No, "one map" means that one side captures all the strategic points (airfields and cities) or that the number of resources spent in the map reach the limit (900 aircraft, 400 tanks). 

 

Then the map will change to another (check the logs of some of the long playing pilots, you'll see that there is stalingrad_center and stalingrad_south for instance.

One "campaign" is made up of three "maps".  The winner of the campaign is decided by who wins two out of three maps.  Each map must be won by a side by either taking all airfields or attrition of the other side's resources, i.e., tanks, aircraft, etc..  A map is made up of any number of missions necessary to win the map with each mission lasting about 1 hr and 45 minutes.  For example, if a map lasts multiple missions, say 30 each at 1 hr,45 minutes, and there are 3 maps, so the full campaign would last ~160 hours or 6 days.

Thank you kind sir, for doing this This will help us too, when we will be making our official TAW manual.

Not everything is correct. For now we have only 2 maps, Stalingrad_Center and Stalingrad_South. The war starts from Stalingrad_Center, and when axis or allies won the map we move to Stalingrad_South if Stalingrad_South will be won by the same nation as previous map we have the end of the war, If the second nation won on Stalingrad_South we move back to Stalingrad_Center and so on. Basicily you just have to won on both maps in a row.

I hope that in the future the organisation of actions / missions will happen on the forum as well - perhaps with closed off subsections which are accesible only to the players which are registered to each side.

Very good idea, I think that since we have the TAW site with registration already, we will just add for example some sort of chat and based on which side you registered for you will get diffrent chat box while logged in

Ranks are just a new thing I added recently, for next campagin we will try to make it better, I will make a poll to know what people prefer most. For know I think you will have to stick with what we have.

By "maps" I did not mean different actual maps.  They all could take place on the same map, but you still have to win two out of three "maps" to win campaign.

Nope. You are wrong, you have to win 2 maps in a row, not 2 out of 3. If now axis won the current map which is probably gona happen the campagin will still continue even the axis won the first map but lost second one. If VVS won current map it will be over of the campagin.

[Geleitzug]

If one of the two opponents wins the war (by winning two maps in a row), what will happen then ? Will the same map sequence get repeated and so on ? would it be possible in the future two have the same thing done with the Moscow map ?
