Uh,  The TAW manual doesn't say bombs are excluded on blue fighters.  I think you confused this server with Wings of Duty.

 

I think he means the pilots has congenital condition that prohibits them for equipping any...

Can we still expect the return of TAW this week? 

[LeLv76_Erkki 184]

I wonder if the plane sets are same as currently in the manual? Yak-1B becomes available 2 maps before Yak-7B which is odd both performance and history wise

TAW has been postponed 1 weeks.

What about active a real tank battle, when the tank group march in the last 10km of the strategic targets like AF or big city, after the Tank Crew released

😄

 

JG5 fly red!

Will be flying Red with the Cat Herders - if Hurricane Florence doesn't destroy the litter box.

Welcome, and come join the ever expanding herd of Cats.

Flying red.  Looking forward to it. 

[JG4_Knipser 148]

Thanks  @=LG=Kathon for all your efforts to make TAW even better. Hope you'll be done with the changes soon, can't wait for the campaign to begin. 
I will definitely not ask the dreadful question.  
... and by the way, numbers are still fairly balanced.

The new TAW campaign starts on 16.09.18 Sunday European morning.

 

Not much changes this time:

• Tanks spawning algorithm has been tuned. Destruction of depots and captured cities have lower impact on frequency of tanks spawning. It also works now in slightly different way. We will test it during this campaign.

• Buildings and towns on Stalingrad maps (work still in progress but I hop I will have done it before #4 map)

• Rain during negative temperatures on Kuban map fixed.

• Sorties “On ground” aren’t counted in statistics.

 

 

Good luck!

When you spawn on an airfield and despawn 2 minutes later it showed up in the stats as a sortie, correct me if I am wrong.

 Ahhh! I have always wondered why my sorties never equaled my takeoffs.I guess that's the reason why LOL

Hi

 

This TAW will be my "getting back into stuff" thing.  Ill be flying Red and I'll be largely flying the PE2 at first most probably. Im currently without a mic and wont have one for a few more days.

 

So - dumb question - given I lack coms and will more of a liability to anyone I try to fly with without, what can I do as lone bomber pilot for a week or so?  No intention of lone wolfing ground attacks so it'll be largely level bombing. Which general targets best aid the overall effort (if any). 

 

Cheers

Hey. I was flying with many squadrons like IRRE or JG5 on long range level bombing without voice comms and it is possible and very fun so try that when you will see them.

Join the TAW TeamSpeak channel with Cpt_Siddy.  Chances are I'll be there too.  I fly Pe-2 90% of the time.  At least you'll be able to get information from us on where the enemy might be and possibly we can still coordinate flights until you get a mic.   We can always use more cats for the Cat Herd!  (We'll explain the joke when we see you.)

Is it possible to swap sides before it starts?

You can make a new pilot with a new username, you will have to change username on IL-2 as well though

Hi Kathon, can you check this, from mission log, i see german panzer destroyed, but they advance, and close the near AF by proximity

 

 

[JonRedcorn 907]

I am going to fly axis, I have been flying axis pretty much all the time lately. Gunna keep that going. Will be on the teamspeak in a bit hoping to group up with some people.

If you LG guys need, I could provide italian translation for this server

[II./JG1_Pragr 124]

Nice to see another campaign up again. Sadly, I've experienced a strange bahaviour today. I renewed the registration on TAW page on Friday and confirmed LW. Everything seems right but when I tried to join server an hour ago, I was kicked and banned twice. First when I selected German AF, second time about 5 seconds after I got on the map. No details provided, just the message "You were disconnected from the server". Any idea what went wrong?

[Speedbird52 0]

I just signed up for TAW. Read through the manual. What else do I need to know before I start?
