Sometimes those who share with us attraction to the sky go.  

Let's 31 may each year to commemorate the pilots who left us forever in the memory of them to pause the server.....

Today one of our virtual pilots from our little community died in a aircraft accident over Poland in Silesia. 303_Kwiatek was active pilot of virtual 303 Squadron and expirienced real life pilot. To honor His memory we decided to stop the server and our virtual war for 24h. Rest in peace ?

Truly sorry for your loss.

Who is pilot 'catadiopre'?

In mission #226 he was circling over blue Airfield Morozovskiy with his 109G2, killed blue teammate PPSH41- just taking off with He111....then exit, don't see him in Mission results or statistics?

Sad news. RIP

Unfortunately it's a broken FM!!(( Try to do this in DCS!!! Impossible i hope.

 

It is really something that killed a lot of enjoyment for me in the game, especially because it has become more and more common.

Yeah, the joy waggle and the flaps abuse are the bane of any interesting dogfight.

Rest In Peace  303_Kwiatek!  Prayers for family and friends as well.

Transport missions are impossible now if the player has  lost the bombers that are used as transports.  Before if you took an 'empty payload' the server recognized that you were using a transport and not a bomber; now it does not notice the difference.

He is not registered, so there isn't any pilot's profile. He was kicked three times from the server during that mission but eventually he was able to took off ( I will have to check why).

Did you take 100% of fuel for transport mission?

Bombed Skvorin with 2xSC1000, got 4 accidental AK but no GK despite hangars intact before and destoyed after - any reason for that?

Since you posted this 6 hours ago I assume that TAW map was almost the same as it is now.

So the reason is simple : Skvorin is not on frontline. 
This means that it "can't" be attacked. You can actually destroy buildings on it, but any ground destruction on this airfield is not counted in your statistics (and will not influence in any way the campaign).


Frontline airfields are marked with an "Attack" message on the in-game map, it's useless to bomb other airfields since it will not have any effect (except if you're lucky enough to bomb planes taking off ?)

Hi,

 

I was wondering why I didn´t get the CM (nor the ground kill) from this sortie:
http://taw-server.de/pilot_sortie.php?id=51991&name=SCG_Kuppis

 

My squad mate did get CM, and we flew in the same flight, same amount of time  (roughly 22 min) , with same planes (Bf110´s) and attacked the same target.

Thanks!

[[GCA]T1m270]

For next campaign. Would it be a possibility to give the U2vs the photo recon mechanic from rise of flight? Or sapper insertion as someone else suggest? Really want to fly the badboy, but its not really viable in anyway at the moment.

[SCG_Darbzy]

Hmmm... flight of 4 bombers near my own base not taking a single round of flak.... Tail gunners not shooting at me.... MUST BE BANDITS!! lol

 

(That was a nice deflection shot for someone who apparently has the visual acuity of Stevie Wonder)

You destroyed friendly unit. No CM in that case.

I'm not familiar with photo recon mechanic from rise of flight, can you elaborate a little more?

If its got twin tails, its a 110. If its got twin tails and its not getting flak over friendly airfield, its a SNEAKY 110!

He wanted to finally enjoy the electric thrill of shooting down a Pe-2 LOL.

 

electric thrill as in actually surviving it?

[HandyNasty]

I'm just wondering - as the server crashed just now - if we can see the combat log of the flight which got interrupted due to the crash?

I'm curious as me and my teammate got a funny/odd event and would like to see who we were fighting.

 

Additionally I also wonder if you can lose your pilot due to the server crash - if you got damaged in the 5(?) mintues before the crash. Does it count then as a "quit server" where you lose your pilot?

There are two kinds of recon in RoF: visual and photo. Mechanic is simple: get within the pre-defined vicinity of the target, and in case of photo recon, you also need to be at the designated altitute and flying the designated direction. Then, an in-game menu option will appear - a camera button for the photo recon or an eyeball button for the visual recon. For camera, you just click the button. For visual it is more interesting - you need to identify the target by selecting the relevant menu option. There is even a guide in the game manual for target identification:

 

 

I guess there may be workarounds in the game engine to implement such recon, but I'm not an expert. Perhaps the radio commands can be customized?

Yes Yes my bad.  Air field under attack, shot down a 109, turned my head and there were bombers over the field, snapped off a one second burst, and cussed myself.  My bad.  

And yes my aim has always been the better part of my flying. 

 

 

 

[SCG_Wulfe]

I've also wondered about maybe using the U2vs for a recon type role where a critical area is designated in the mission design and if the U2vs flys to the area and maybe lands in it.... you would then re-lift and RTB (it would simulate dropping off a forward observer)

The server then reports all enemy movement through that zone for the duration of the map. The areas could be placed forward behind enemy lines on potential flight paths to friendly ground forces giving a kind of early warning of incoming attack flights on the ground targets before they get hit and allowing for an opportunity to intercept. 

 

Just an idea.
