Tactical Air War

[=LG=Wicher]

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 ?

 

When the campagin ends there will probably be some time when server will be turned off so Kathon can fix bugs and implement new things. Of course we are going to add new maps, like Moscov but for now many people don't have BoM yet and they won't be able to join the server with Moscov map that's way it is not added yet.

[NN_RugbyGoth]

Germans fought all day long without any opposition and are on the verge of winning this match... we really need this quorum rule this is ridiculous to see how a few players on a side can win the war when others are working...

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

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.

 

Oooo... very interesting.  I didn't know that.  That puts a new slant on things.

So what if the one side flies all day unopposed?  Time is valuable to people and they fly when they can.  It is not their fault that no one flew against them.  A quorum rule would just make all their time and effort not count.  Next thing, the server would be empty as there would be no reason to bother flying here.  All that matters is the players are having fun.  If I am on a side that is out numbered, it is just more of a challenge.

Agree, having fun... Tonight I was planning to do so, but russians have only 4 bases left. Tonight will be vulch fest for LW, like the last map won by LW and last time it was no fun... Or they will have had won without any sort of opposition. I hope they would have had fun all by themselves... But what I learnt from life is that the more we are the more fun we have, alone it could be good but never better than with someone else.

I like the new rank system

[OBT-GreenAid]

Hi,

 

Little problem here :

I try to create an account on the TAW server but there is a message that says “this pseudo is already used”… the problem is that I know I’m the only one using this pseudo because I have a tag “OBT”, name of my squad.

 

Can you help me by cancelling this wrong account please?

I have a few questions . Questions perevoddchikom translated .

1) Why sometimes it does not record the downed aircraft in the statistics , or just do to someone?

2) Why Ju 87 are not available in 1,000 kg of bombs and more ?

3) Why does He not available 111 bombs in 1800 kg and 2400 kg ?

[216th_Xenos]

Suggestion:

 

In order to better represent Soviet numbers and help balance, would reducing the number of required flights on the soviet side in order to recuperate a lost aircraft help?

Good fight with one member from  JG 5  Schuck. I fly with peshka green camo. safety landed on empty airfield near home airfield. fuel tanks all empty. THX

Noticed some planes do not nobody writes to the server. The plane crashes and the keel in the game does not damage so .

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

So much more meaningful flying on a server where every sortie counts for something beyond a map roll that means nothing to the next.

 

Cheers!

Hey Shephard,

i kept diving in from high angles to avoid the rear gunner,

but it didnt work as he hit me in the engine and i had to RTB.

Well flown though mate.

 

My skins are available in the link below.

[VBF-12_Snake9]

Today I split a P40 in half on a head on pass.  So please give one of my P40s to ECV56_Necathor.  

 

He must really like his P40s cause he was pissed.

An idea to submit : each side has a "sanctuary" airfield. No one is allowed to straff planes there. Or all Flak set on HIGH.

This way people could take off and fight in air even if it is the last activ airfield. 

[t1m0n_ua]

What kind of fun ? There was a 109 F4 odletal card until the end but have never been sales. Once when taxiing nose over Seha with tracks recorded emergency landing . Another time at Kalach tselenky sat down on the strip for bombers , wrote a crash landing . Total -1 . 109 F4 . What kind of nonsense with minusovaniya aircraft ???? I sometimes 109 avariynos able Sadilov on the strip and will not be charged

IL 2 x 2 can destroy a column of tanks with one departure . Junkers 87 and are not able to close a similar result. 37mm pendant gun Junkers squalor without piercing projectiles . So where proper balance?

And when you make restrictions of IL - 2 and Junkers 87. Stop corpses zakidatelstvo !!!

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

Would it make sense to have a aircraft transfer mechanism in the Squad area where pilots could transfer available aircraft to other pilots of the squad?  For example, I might have a fighter I rarely fly which I could transfer to someone who needs it.  Another guy might not need a bomber.  It would give squads some aircraft management they had during the war.

We were just discussing this between the members of our squadron. It would be an amazing feature. Maybe having some sort of reserve feature like 5 of each plane could be placed in the reserve when they are already full for each one of the pilots or have one pilot decide which plane to transfer into a pool.

Having the option to "trade" airplanes as Stick mentioned would be an awesome feature indeed! +1

How to attack the airfield?

Are you stupid or what ? If one side have better BOS attack planes others have better fighters and with BOM Axis attack planes are good ,not same with VVS fighters. One tone bomb - what a idea!!! Any way if i would thinkig like you i could say that il2 have no chance to yours gun pods ....

Btw never ever 2 ILs would allone destroy whole tanks column in one sortie !

How much can kill tanks for flight on Junkers 87? Tank 3 if you're lucky. IL - 2 can kill 10 tanks , plus 10 pieces of his team-mate and no columns . But the problem is that some pilots are stupid and do not know how to shturmuvat . Not working groups and die on defense. Please note that the weapons began only block the blue side for balance. So that means . Tell me how in 1942, IL - 2 was released from the 37mm cannons ? How LaGG 3 flew with 23mm cannon . Kakoyto krasnuvaty balance is obtained . They said that the weapons will not block .

[707shap_Srbin]

Ju87G-1 can destroy a column of tanks in one mission. Watch Youtube, there are some videos.

 

P.S. In real life, during autumn 1942, there was whole fighter regiment, at Stalingrad, wich was fully equipped with LaGG-3 with 37mm gun. Also, during winter 1942/43, one of two assault regiments, equipped with Il-2 with 37mm guns, fought at Stalingrad.

On the other side Ju88 and He111 are carrying twice bombs as a Pe2 (only a little ton) and Bf110 = Pe2. Nothing perfect !

Yes, but  how to prevent that 5 guys unchallenged moved front so much that VVS left in desperate defence, and beside this VVS usually are 3:1 outnumbered besides peak hours. Coordination with players without squad,  stronger AAA, what else? 

It must be like this or these experienced players from previous il-2  olso must dealt with same problem and know the answer? I hear that in older il-2 there were letter VVS planes much better than ours, and when they were in pull allies players had to wait for axies players to join fight  

[ShephardCSAF_Shephard]

It would be possible to pilots who have successfully lands on any of friedly airfield . Did Landed status and not glitched . If Im damage and cant reach the home airfield . For example, the fuel loss

How to prevent unchallenged pilots from moving the front?  You don't.  Sides are pretty much balanced for targets, AAA, etc.  I hope the 5 guys enjoyed their time on the server and that they will come back.  And what if VVS is left in a desperate defense, outnumbered 3 to1?  Sounds like a good challenge.  What's the worst that could happen?  VVS loses the campaign?  C'est la guerre.  Queue up the next campaign.  Thankfully, it's only a game and we can do it again.

 

I have been in 2 campaigns in TAW, both for VVS.  Yes I have seen times when the Germans dominate and move the front.  I have also seen times when the VVS dominate and likewise move the front.  Watching the front see saw actually adds to the drama.  Older IL2 1946 campaigns worked on a coop basis where a lobby would fill up before the mission was launched.  That does not exist here.  To try to "replicate" it here by putting a rule in place that controls the only time sortie results would count is when both sides are somewhat balanced will suck the fun out of flying here and kill the server.

 

Best thing is for the campaign designers to continue what they have been doing, tweaking as they go.  Plenty of room to add features to the campaign and let it mature, i.e., new maps, different plane sets, etc., etc.

 

Cheers!

The script can't decide on the basis of the plotted frontline. Only the specific range around an active object give the script the oppotunity for decision. So, it would be necessary to implement active objects on each airfield on the map, but this would be counterproductive concerning performance.

[Blakhart]

Guys.

 

Some of you talk about planeset and balance...

 

How I did the planeset?

 

Main factors.

1. We need players and popularize the TAW.

Not everyone have BoM so basic available planes has to be from BoM as first.

 

2. Kathon is working on 200% and just didnt had time to implement planned planeset and score points.

What we could do? Kick him from the job?

 

3. Less limits less problems with coding the script and we wanted to launch aar as soon as possible.

 

4. We couldnt test all the factors from the TAW enviroment.

We analyse the situation all the time and we will make proper conclusions after that war.

 

5. I know how deadly IL-2 can be but if we would keep SC1000 in unlimited Ju87 it would be all the time brainlessnkamikadze attack during the missions.

 

6. We are not your enemies, we are the same players like you guys.

Did you noticed any special treatment for LG admins in the war?

We flew on red side in test stage, now we fly blue. Do we have any reasons to boost any of the sides?

[ShephardCSAF_Shephard]

One more question.This time we have Peskovatka airfield inactive and damaged 96% If I také a suply Plane Landed on Peskovatka can repair it?

Why are you crying?? I love when in other servers im outnumbered. I can find enemys everywhere.

Here i can fly for an hour and i only can see some suicide players dogfighting on the ground or some p2 sniper gunner.

[E69_geramos109]

What is the influence of destroying factory? It seems that nothing happens because other factory appeara in the map and same tanks, planes and columns are with suplies

[NN_RugbyGoth]

Great time yesterday night. It's very hard to fight with only 3 airbases, we need to stay focused everytime (After this fight I've been shot down and killed by a 109 at less than 1km from the base  )

Guys, server is made for group action. Lone wolfs cannot destroy column fast enought. Thats right. Groups (of good pilots) can do it. I can bet that when Rudel attacks tanks, there was more than one stuka in the air.

IMHO everyone who wants to drop SC500+ bombs on tank column should think about his bomber career. On defenses, factories, airfields - standart loadouts are well balanced.
