Simple solution: Every pilot have several lives (chutekilling lost its purpose). Every pilot got just one plane/ each type /map

When u lost your best plane....its gone for that map. 

 

Just check the "Stat" page. Do you really want to see on the server only 5..10 players after 100..200 hours after the TAW start? No one play it like to be killed, but it happend all the time (if you do not stay at 7k meters). 

 

LG=Kathon, 

 

can you share with us the statictic about the play hours for the both teams?

 

Campaign No1.

 

Red hours (total) - Axis hours (total)

Red hours (Pe2) - Axis hours (He111)

Red hours (fighters) - Axis hours (fighters)

Red hours (IL2) - Axis hours (Bf110)

 

Campaign No2.

 

Red hours (total) - Axis hours (total)

Red hours (Pe2) - Axis hours (He111+Ju88)

Red hours (fighters) - Axis hours (fighters)

Red hours (IL2) - Axis hours (Bf110)

 

..

 

Campaign 6

 

I think that we will see about +30% on the axis side. That is the general problem. No one can win with these conditions.

I said it many times many different ways, no one listen/implemented the thing. Plane set is not balanced, its OK, its historical... So lets not balance points also. Kill in blue plane - 50 points. Kill in red plane - 75 points. Why? Because it is harder... That will bring some players to red side. 

 

Original idea is not side relevant but even plane relevant...

F4 kills Lagg - 40 points.

Lagg kills F4 - 90 points. 

FN kills F4 - 30 points

 

[SYN_Repent]

i like this idea, or something similar......perhaps standard planes are just always available, and with each map, the extra planes or the +1 planes are acquired with obtaining rank, not through CM +1.

 

so if you are a captain for instance, the standard aircraft is a mig 3 and you can always fly this in unlimited amounts, but the +1 aircraft is a yak1.69. which is unlocked as you are of sufficient rank, and you can fly these to an unlimited amount, but once you lose this rank, then you are back to mig 3's.

 

this would promote pilot preservation rather than aircraft preservation.

Making rank matter for something would actually be nice.

with the system i mentioned, gaining points via killing ground targets could really matter, also points could be changed as hot dog mentioned......if one side is heavily outnumbered then any points scored could be doubled, thats reward for heroic actions.

"Outnumbered" does not mean that you will see a lot of enemy at the target. Again, the outnumbered team can't start of the front line AFs. 

 

Better to improve the second team with some extra planes (+2CM instead of +3CM), all planes in a hangar, if your team had -20% flight hours on the map before and something like that.

LOL, are you kidding? Again, we played RED side often then AXIS side. But there are no reasons to ask some changes that are not good enough for BOTH teams (at least it is my personal point of view).

I think the devs are always open and welcome to hear your version, after you explained what happened they might change the penalty time and even remove it if it was an honest mistake and apologies were spoken.

I disagree - most of the kills in TAW are usually team work driven (be it planned or by chance). Rarely do planes meet and fight 1 vs 1 until there is a victor. What usually happens is someone spots tracers for 5km away and joins on the fight. 

 

Based on CSW_Hot_Dog's logic, If it were an F-4 vs LaGG-3/5 battle, the LaGG should already be in a defensive position by the time another LaGG pilot in the area spots the F-4's tracers.  So it's your notion that even though the fight is a now 2 vs 1 engagement, whichever LaGG pilot ends up bringing down the F-4 should get 90 points? However, if the F-4 were to pull off a miracle and shot down both LaGGs (...assuming no one else joins the battle), the pilot will only get 80 points?

I think overall, the "value" of "virtual lives" has somehow fallen dramatically. Combine that with the fact, that as the campaign goes on, the list of available planes gets larger and larger, there comes a moment where the sudden loss of three or even four of them becomes a non-issue. All of this naturally leads to people finding a way to "game the system".

I hate myself for proposing it and I know it may sound harsh, but maybe the option of only one death per mission rotation, should be considered.

Gets my vote but I quite understand the server owners not wanting to chase away pilots ?     

Of course on a server that is constantly full up and people are waiting to get into I think it is a great idea to kick people out of the server as soon as they die or get captured.   Perhaps just apply a time penalty for bails and off-field landings in friendly territory and no penalty if you get a damaged aircraft home even if the landing was less than optimal ?

The server immediately will lose a lot of pilots (especially not "enough experienced" pilots).

If smb thinks that the server is always overloaded it is not true, it could be full for example of your time of flying ONLY - evenings in Europe for example...

 

Moreover, the server is becoming less and less popular for REDs. I don't know why... Now reds are often in minority, for this reason, this "new law" will additionally punish reds and it is possible that the server will lose MORE REDS.

I can't argue with that. I do fly mostly European evenings which is why I always see TAW full up. OTOH,  it could still be applied just for those situations ie if the server is full up or one side has more than half the total maximum allowed then anyone (from that side) who dies gets kicked out so another person can have a chance.   It won't cost the server players as there are people waiting to take that spare slot.  Perhaps put the rule in place when the server is reasonably full but the sides are badly unbalanced as well.  If people don't like going to 'all the trouble' of logging back into the server ? they can switch sides and not have that penalty.

[Kobi_LW]

So far I see that pilots fly on this server much more careful and accurate and value their lives much more than let's say in WoL.

The only exploit I see is flying low above AFs in small aircrafts like 109s and making massive damage to AAAs and buildings with small guns which will be fixed according to the devs in next campaign. Btw second half of map #6 xJammer stopped flying for whatever the reason he is and as no one else exploits this tactic (saw only once by another guy but don't want to say names again as he didn't continue probably he values his life more than xJammer), the war becomes much more balanced and interesting immediately despite some issues with objects location on the map. 

[TCW_SixFour619]

I still recommend removing the field lock. And giving reds more planes. Having to fly resupply missions to earn planes back is a waste of time for those of us that have a little time to fly. Just my 2 cents. I know our crew would enjoy reds more. Next round, blue for us though.

When I was playing the red side last TAW I thought jammer Smith like a cheater. Because of 110 flying circus. But now we usually fly in TS and I see, that he is a good guy who just want to win and use every possibility to do this. Also he wanted us to switch the side during compaign to show reds how they should win but we rejected this offer.

He is a good organizator who don’t see language barriers and also try to coordinate with non English speaking players. That was usual trouble while we were playing red side last TAW. No one wants to sit at the TAW ts((( but now we can simply organize more then 10 pilots flight to any target and it’s really simple to do everything without losses.

You are a good organizer as well Des.

Yes, I really understand you. But in general, this could lead to making the server even less popular for REDs. In most cases, our group and I see the unbalanced forces (towards blues). As you understand, we think "how just to survive" very often... If the new rule will appear, it would be more easy to switch to another server for us.

 

Numerical superiority of blues + technical superiority blues + additional punish VS love of history and RKKA aviation and grandparents stories (for me)...

LOL.. I watched that episode (seconds) it seems they together decided to kill the parachute. A friend of the man who streamed that video suggested him to kill the parachute, but the man (sorry don't know his name) complained that he is stalled and cannot do it... Interesting, why the killing parachute makes them happy in the game? Probably they have low self-esteem... ?

Allied events
Defense in Maikop was damaged

Tank convoy advancing to Ust-Labinskaya was damaged
Airfield in Viselky was repaired to 90% 
Airfield Viselky was captured by paratroopers
Captured airfield Viselky was repaired to 72%

 

Still one of the most frustrating things about TAW.  The red side had to fight over countless missions waiting for tanks to spawn and then advance from Mirskaya to Viselky and then try to protect them while also trying to destroy attacking tanks in other locations.  Then, red finally captures Viselky, and two or three missions later, when there are around 14 to ~4 pilots, they (blue) can fly their Ju-52's in, drop paratroopers, and take it right back without having to wait for their tanks to advance to that field (generally over 3 missions).  That is one of the things that is discouraging to red pilots... it's almost like, what's the point of trying to capture a base, when it can be taken back so easily by blue.  All red can do is just fight on :).

Plus, Viselky was damaged by 100%, no defences around it, we destroyed the supply convoys during each map, protected our advancing tanks, and our tanks couldn't take it for 3 maps. Instead our tanks just moved a bit towards it (like 2kms) at the beginning of next map. I just believe if we note it here, the devs will adjust the logic in the script to make it more balanced.

I don't understand why killing a parachute here is causing such a wild ass pain. pilot - is the same resource as the plane, like a truck, like a tank (and in the truck sits the driver, and in the tank and anti-aircraft gun sits the crew, and on the anti-aircraft gun and it can be seen), like all the others. minus the pilot of the enemy - plus pitch to win the team, simple as that.

"this story is as old as the world"... after the introduction of landing troops logic capture blue airfield for the red team, or the protection of the red field from attacks, lost all meaning for me, I do not understand how you can capture the blue field for the red team. on the example of Viselki-when it was a red closed field, many missions in a row it flew (and I including) transport planes of many players, I watched the columns of aircraft for two or three missions until the airfield was closed. but it never became functional. then the front moved forward and unobtrusive so the field became blue.  in such cases, the red team always has two times less chances.

this situation should change, otherwise in the following companies red pilots will not remain. no one wants to be on the losing team all the time (sry for google trans)

The supply is only about 10% possible (it does not work in this mission, only one mission after that).

 

For exampe:

 

http://taw.stg2.de/pilots_mission.php?mission_id=286

 

• Airfield in Krasnodar was repaired to 48%
• Airfield supply in Viselky was damaged. Supply level 31%
• Airfield in Viselky was destroyed
• Airfield in Krasnodar was supplied by air transport to 76%

 

1. AF was repaired. to 48%

2. Air transports were landed. Max is 100% and it will generate +10%. 76% will generate +7% of the repair. 

 

Or something like that. Its seems that the action log is not absolutly clear to explain how it works.

I am not sure but it is possible.

 

I did some cargo missions long time ago and the mission log showed "Airfield in ******was supplied by air transport to 100%". No records was there with ""Airport was repaired". That means that it works in 2 steps.

 

1. The transports arrived. (Not more than 100%, usually it is 5..6 planes)

2. One mission later the cargo will be used for a repair.

Finnish Virtual Pilots server have it kinda sorted out - they use a variant of Peshka, like the transport variants here, which you have to land on enemy airfield, instead of dropping paratroopers. I don't know if it will work on TAW tho

Are you sure that's the right sortie log? Looks like two guys with different names landed the hits.

Also the server stats are still a little borked after a few updates, so sometimes the kills is attributed to the wrong player in the stat. So maybe your hits weren't counted and the kill went to previous guys. Without a  track or video or something its hard to prove.

[-250H-Ursus_]

As alyaws, problems with teams getting outnumbered.

 

Balance teams its difficult from my point of view, and even, after hours thinking how admins can solve, the only solution i've reached this: Force the players to randomly select the side where inscriptions are open, avoiding any bias selection for germans and russians for equal.

 

But how we can solve this to squads? Simple, squad leader inscribes the squad, squad its sended without question to Russian side or German side by a random selection, and then, by invitation the squad members can enter on that squad on that nation, but only by invitation of squad leader on a squad on a side.

 

Its random, 50/50, its fair to me. But its a totalitarian solution on my opinion, i know they are players and full squads who doesn't fly X nations because reasons i personally don't know
