Hello LG.

Is normal that you loose one map in only 3 missions? For me there are something wrong.

Regards,

No one has won a map yet?

[Robert_Molders]

Sorry guys but the level of experience of the enemy Flak is set at a too much high level.

These are infallible snipers that do not permit any kind of low level attack without killing you sistematically from 2-3 km away. Tried to get close to a enemy tank column ( already heavily damaged ) and get killed from 2 km away by Mister Chuck Norris that was manning the only flak gun left...same story with the Bf 110 against another target.

Realistic ok, heavy and intense ok but these guys do not miss a single shoot...this has no sense with only 3 lives available ( and now just 1 left because I've attempted to do my duty )...you can play as much carefull as you want soon as you get close you're crippled by bullets...come on...realistic ok but it must be also playable...

 Since it's inception in 1992 BoseGeshwader26 and JG51Molders have always flow Axis aircraft.  We are not going to "change side to balance the game" because the Allied players cannot field enough players that will consistently fly Allied.

 

This is not the server problem. There are many ppl that fly both sides, and among them there are people that prefer German planes yet they fly allied many times in order to have an enjoyable game experience for everyone. What gives you more rights to play that side than those guys? If anything those players should be prioritized from time to time since they switch to keep a good environment in the server. You can't be this close minded, afterall you pay for both sides' planes when you buy the game, and if you played allied you might even find a type of plane that fits your style even.

You aren't forced to fly allied side... but if you can't enter because axis side is full then not much you can do... allied side is available though.

While I agree with the opinion, why buy a game and not fly both sides, forcing players is just as bad or worse...they need to lock people into a side, this whole flippin sides is bush league...bet on a horse and stick to it

[Norz]

 

Dear Admins,

 

can you check what is wrong with the airfield targets? They are not under attack.

 

3.5 Airfields and cities

Airfield is a vital strategic point on the map. If tank column captures the city it also capture nearby airfield. Airfields are very well defended by the strong AA. You should attack them

Switching in a day to day basis is not good yeah, I meant it more towards switching after each campaign (or early on and stick to it for the rest of campaign). As I say they aren't forced to, but the choice to play is there, since they have the option available complaining because they can't play one particular side as if it was an all-or-nothing situation in a stubborn way is what I critique.

[JG1_Rotermann]

trying to get on this server is nothing but a pain in the ass.

This particular problem

IS A server problem. 

 

Little do you know, I do fly Allied rides to familiarize myself with them.  I do have all the planes including the collector planes.  Others in our squad have training with myself as aggressor flying Allied rides because they can't afford to purchase all the different air-frames.  That being said, JG51Molders has a standing agreement that, during our squad nights and squad sorties we fly only German aircraft.  We always have and we always will.  This makes us an Axis squad on a server that makes us choose between Axis and Allied.  We fly on the Knights of the Air server to train with our squad.

 

To say someone that switches side every time should be prioritized over someone who has always flow one side is just as stupid as it sounds.  Gee George let's beat little Timmy because he doesn't want to eat peas with his dinner, but we'll reward little Mikey for impregnating 6 girls in 3 months.  That's how stupid that suggestion is.

 

And yes I can be this closed minded when it comes to this subject.  I'm too damn old to give a shit about being politically correct.

 

PS when the server has 25 Allied and 35 Axis players it's not a full queue on either side.  I'm being punished for your lack of flying Allied.  Now shut your pie hole and fly.

this is just a discrepancy between what website shows and what really is. I noticed it too 30 mins ago when trying to join while my buddy was already in the server. Server is full while website shows there are still a few places left.

- Website shows 77 players online but does not show the spectators (aka, it shows the players who actually picked side and/or who actually spawned)

- Website has some delay or might somehow not be precise to the number

The level of the AAA is too high!
Approach in the Stuka, startet the dive in 3000 m, overthrow with 650 km/h and the Radar and Laser controlled Anti-Aircraft kills one in the fall. Thats a Joke.

• Therefore you have to accept not to fly axis when axis team is full. And "ruining" the game experinece of +500 people, because 8 people disagree, seems a bit odd to me. ?

No, we don't have to accept anything.  We can fly elsewhere.  But thanks for your comments.  I will file them where they belong.  In the peanut gallery. 

Oh wait.  Here are some emoticons, since you seem enjoy them ????.

Again, I don't need to suffer restrictions and arbitrary punishment because someone thinks I ought to.  

I think I'll start a server where members are required to shoot themselves in the kneecap whenever they are shot down.  You know, for realism.  That way they can go through an actual recovery and simulate injury.

I think it's a bit much.

The start of TAW has been great fun! Thanks for the new campaign. I don't know if I'm being totally obtuse but am I missing where to see how many of our three lives are remaining? Or is that system not happening quite yet?

Found it - thank you!

 

The early phase of the conflict is fantastic. Low level, close-up turnfighting with plenty of machineguns going wild. It's a shame that airfields aren't totally working just yet but I'm sure that'll be sorted in due course.

Edited May 12, 2019 by AirshowDisaster

[TP-Gosho]

JG51Molders, you already mentioned the solution to your problem - go fly elsewhere. Nobody is entitled to fly on TAW, it is just an opportunity and not an inalienable right.

Being civil in your communication with others has nothing to do with being "politically correct", it is common courtesy.

 

If I were the admin of TAW, I'd never change the rules because someone tried to aggressively bully me into submission. Good luck with your conflict resolution skills.

 

Now I will "shut my hole", take my opinion to "the peanut gallery" and go flying. I hope you will, too.

Hello I have a problem, the server banned me being in the plane selection for a minute.

After that time it will not let me in and he ejects me from the server repeatedly.

There are LG's on the server but they do not respond to my squadmate's queries.

If you can solve my problem, I thank you.

 The last death got me thinking admin. This "3" deaths per map is too tight. Thus, if I die my next flight - I cannot play TAW again until Map #2, that is 2 weeks from today.

If I may suggest, 1 life per 1 or 2 map cycles. This is after all just a game,  sometimes "real life" gets in the way of our hobby - I think waiting a week to fly again is a little long. 

 

You should read changelog more carefuly, because it says:

 

"Every time “Lives on map” counter (shown in pilots hangar) <= 0 then pilot has 24 hours time penalty. After this penalty counter is increased by 1 so he may fly again".

Not from what I understand after asking Kathon.  If you used up your 3 lives for a map, you have to wait 24 hours to get back to 1 life.  It does not go up (above 1) from there, until the next map of course.

 

So basically, after you use up your lives in a map, you can only get back one life (for that map).  Die and it’s 24 hours until that 1 life comes back.

Hi Kathon.

Could you please verify this: "Every time “Lives on map” counter (shown in pilots hangar) <= 0 then pilot has 24 hours time penalty".

It seems you get a ban if your live counter >0 but <1. For example for 0.53 you will still get a ban.

Right on.  I'm sorry you feel bullied.  You should see a counselor about your hurt feelings.  And yes, I will fly somewhere else, thanks for your permission and endorsement.  Enjoy your campaign.

I guess I just don't understand why the people running the server enjoy these penalties, lock outs and forced side flying.  Apparently, you do.  Nothing wrong with that.  I'm just not that person.  I'm sure you understand.

I'm done wasting my time here.

PS, Ogg and I are different people responding to different people in this topic.  But hey don't let that stop you from stringing together whatever you like from our posts.  Im sure you are enjoying working yourself up into a rightous rebuttal right now.  I can hardly wait.

You jokers are starting to take this make believe stuff way to serious! between people calling  others "female reproductive parts" online for bailing out of a damaged aircraft to condemning others for choosing not to switching sides - this has to stop!

 

I am all for opinions but when the attacks become personal - I guess we have to be reminded that this is a hobby and just a game, you cannot put this on your resume (C.V.). So don't be a "donkey's hollow place in a solid body or surface".

This is such a hypocrite comment, I was on server when someone insulted you because you bailed out after breaking your engine chasing me over friendly airport, you bailed out instantly because you had i 16s on your tail and you wanted to deny them a kill rather than trying your chances with broken engine to reach friendly lines (you were right above our airfield so chances of capture were 100 % and you complain about 3 life rule. You said you got hit by aaa but your logs says otherwise (http://taw-server.de/pilot_sortie.php?id=2326&name=JG7_X-Man). Also threatening someone IRL because he insulted you for what you are that's what's low.. I wasn't going to take part in this but seeing you crying on forum afterwards is too much.

[Beazil]

Who threatened anyone?  I beg pardon because this IS a very long thread, and I may have missed that part.  I didn't get that out of the last poster's comments at all.  And I certainly didn't feel that from the two people I chatted with, even if they have strong opinions different from mine.

I agree it's getting a bit venomous.  I have no wish to continue the discussion in that spirit, and will conduct myself accordingly from this point forward.  Cheers.
