Ps. Olbi, you “bright” thing, where did i ever mention to switch sides? Your text reading is even worse than your flying.

Haha...

You challenged blue team once for a duel in the server, when I agreed and were on my way to meet you, you cowardly left the server. Actually, you checked in my stat what plane I was flying and it seemed you felt loosing it. Nice try to talk about my skills.

I also recall you insulted another player who killed you while you flew Lagg saying he had no skills either. He asked you to go to Berloga and prove it in a combat but you never replied.

How about this... let's meet at Berloga and do some duels. Then you can talk about my skills in this forum; otherwise, you are just a silly liar and coward!

[Aero*Bohemio]

Very nice fairy tale, nothing of this is true. Berloga? let me LMAO!

Yeah, you'll be very successfull in Berloga...not here=> https://taw.stg2.de/pilot_sortie.php?id=60274&name=Olbi_LW

Duels are to air combat, what masturbation is to sex.

I already know which one you prefer ?

Nice, that's what I thought.  In the server's chat you cried to have a chance to fight 1v1 which seemed from your point of view as a fair fight.

Now you call it masturbation)))

You prefer to hide behind your company and team mates, and insult people knowing you are safe.

Good job. At least now it's obvious who you are: coward and hypocrite! No more wasting time talking to you.

So what do you suggest? Not to fly when you see your team has numeric advantage?

I for example so and do. If I see that my team is winning and now in the majority, then I find myself another matter. Why waste time on it, we're already winning. But such situations are very rare recently. But of course this is a personal matter. In this campaign, the auto balance is much worse than the previous one. When the big squad comes, it is not limited by anything. All airfields are working, the enemy side is not overflowing

Unfortunately they have already done so. And the map of Kuban is very difficult for the red side because of the location of airfields. The Reds need to try very hard not to lose it. As far as I can remember, the Reds have never won there

They did in Campaign 14, either Map 6 or 8, or maybe both, I can't remember. But the five campaigns I played Red I know we never won either map.

Could you at least try to read through your own article. It support m position, not yours. It states isolated events while emphasize the behavior was considered dishonorable by both sides which is exactly what I had stated from the very beginning. 

 

I’m almost done reading Don Quixote. It’s about a middle-aged fool who read too many fictionalized accounts of knights and chivalry, got it in his head that it was all real, and decided to go out into the world to find his own knightly adventures. That’s how he ended up fighting windmills, thinking they were giants; defending the honour of whores in seedy inns, thinking they were princesses in castles; and prattling on and on about honour and chivalry to Sancho Panza, a simpleton who believed and followed him.

 

Don Quixote was written in 1605, and almost immediately it was considered a great work of satire and social commentary. That’s right: people have been laughing at fools who can’t distinguish fictionalized stories of chivalry from reality for over 400 years already.

Yes, the quorum solution, I have seen it implemented in one or two of the old 1946 campaign servers. There's some questions about what to do when there's quorum at take-off but not once you're over the target: should kills still count? But those are minor issues and I liked it overall as a solution to unbalanced numbers.

Quorum was already applied on TAW many campaigns ago and the server was empty for this reason. The quorum turned out to be a bad idea because it encourages pilots not to fly. For example I see that have adversary majority, but there is no quorum, so he flies now futile. I will not specifically go to the server, not to create opponents need a quorum. And so did a lot of pilots on both sides. Need a system that would encourage those who fly in the minority, but not points (which I personally do not need), and the result on the map.

I think that for example the closure of airfields, which is now a very good idea, but that it began to work when on one side there are 4 or more pilots. It is also necessary to reduce the loss of life, at the death of the pilot, if he lost it in a large minority.

Also, in view of the fact that the Reds are suffering very heavy losses among the pilots due to the controversial implementation of the high-explosive effect of German weapons, it would be fair to return the previous indicators of the probability of capture by both sides. Now this probability for the blue side is less than it once was

AF AAAs have still 0 effectiveness against the attack. Witnessed 8 planes, mostly Pe2s and1 or 2 fighters to dive to AF Anastasievskaya and flew around AF targets for 2-3mins wiping them out with 0 problems from AF AAAs. Seems AAA gunners got shocked and started firing everything but red planes )))

Only 1 Pe-2 was shot down and probably because pilot lost control and the damage was not significant. All others did what they wanted and left AF.

So the idea that only the level bombing should be not suicidal for AF bombing still doesn't work.

And I got PKed while trying to protect it by Pe-2 gunner so now asking myself why to even bother to defend AFs or other defs if AAAs don't help at all. Better be off saving 3 precious lives.

Agree with that. With 3 lives and losing -300 points and a plane, what's the point to play suicidal missions in which you can't do much but definitely will get yourself killed?

During the time of great unbalance in team's numbers, the server suffers its competitiveness and become of a war of one team. To be honest, if one side has few strong squads and the other team has mostly single players, the outcome would be pretty much the same so it's really hard to sort this issue out.

Actually, not difficult, the problem is the beginning of the map, when blues always attack Ahtyrskaya, and once reds lose it, their strategic situation becomes much worse, almost unrecoverable. Last campaign, Kuban map was rolled out during the time when there were very few reds who couldn't protect it. This time, reds had more players (12vs1(myself)), and wiped out 2 tank convoys within 1/2-1hour so Ahtyrskaya got saved. Blues have an advantage at the beginning of the map because even if they lose the beginning of the map, their situation doesn't get much worse so that they can keep going. 

[SCG_Limboski]

Regarding pilot balance, we have hard data on the statistics pages as to how many hours have been flown by each side.  This should give an very good indication of what the actual balance is.  I'm seeing a lot speculation and assumptions from previous posts as to what the actual numbers are.  Regardless, there are many variables that dictate balance at different times and many are completely out of the control of the TAW admins.  However, TAW has rules to at least try to help balance the sides like differing death penalties, limiting available airfields, etc.

 

Note that in the past several TAWS, SCG took a more active role in trying to keep the two sides balanced but we have been essentially been forbidden from switching sides this campaign.Several of our fighter pilots fly less TAW now because they don't have targets to shoot against at different times.

Don't be sad. You must have a big holiday, so go and celebrate with pleasure. Don't worry, nothing will change on the map. All the others will wait until you remember about the good and love. But that's when the holiday comes from other religions, nobody is going to take a break. It's just not fair, on the part of the administration, to stop the server for a couple of days just because some of the pilots will not be able to play on it. It's not fair to the other pilots.

Well, the proof is in the pudding, as they say. "not part" is as absolute as they come. It cannot be "not part" and "part" at the same time.

 

The moral implications of strafing people in the real world has nothing to do with strafing pixels in game. One is a serious offense, which has serious consequences, the other is play-pretend, with no real world consequences (unless you don't make the distinction between reality and play-pretend). You strafe someone in real life and a lot of bad things happen both to the strafed person and the strafing person; you strafe someone in a game and society doesn't care -> this means that society accepts the behavior, because everybody knows that it's play-pretend. I can't believe I've reached a point where I have to actually explain this to someone. Here's a basic example: it's just like shooting someone in a movie. You don't go and accuse the ACTOR of being immoral, because he's just play-pretending - it's the CHARACTER that committed the crime, NOT the ACTOR. Do you understand the distinction?

 

Since the CHARACTER is the one who got strafed, and it's dead in the game world, the ACTOR who played the strafed CHARACTER cannot come here and complain about the other ACTOR who played the strafing CHARACTER. And it certainly cannot accuse the strafing ACTOR about being immoral, because it's actually the strafing CHARACTER who was immoral. Do you get it? Do you see the distinction? Strafed CHARACTERS cannot complain about the lack of morality of the strafing CHARACTERS, because they are dead in the game world.

 

If you want the server to be realistic, then you'll have to accept that since it did happen in reality it will also happen on the server.

 

This is getting borderline corny.

Because people are different. Some people have official free of work time and want to enjoy flying in TAW. And then all of a sudden server stops.

At least TAW admins might have posted a notice a bit ahead of time on which days the server would be shut down so people would have adjusted their plans accordingly.

It's simple, we all know that the server runs 24x7. If not, just let us know, seems logical to me.

So an act that is considered to be morally reprehensible in real life is not in a fictionalize simulation? I supposed one could choose to be morally bad in a simulation. I supposed that s not different than choosing to be an SS unit in the game. So, if we accept that has a "reality" then we should accept as a reality anyone's rights t be morally wrong by such an act in a simulation. That being said, not everything in a simulation is about reenacting actual behavior. After all, shooting at grounded players or player taking off and landing is considered to be against "fair play" but this would not at all be the case in real life. Just how much realism should we allow? Personally the latter should be allowed. If killed, then that is just too bad, "Goodbye" streak. As far as shooting at pilots; I am fine with whatever the respective countries would have done to pilots who do that. 

 

Anyway, we have deviated from the initial point (at least the point I have made) that the practice was discouraged and considered to be morally wrong. Did pilots do it? Sure, that point has never been a point of contention. it was if it was considered part of war or morally wrong. The latter is true.

For what it's worse...

You completely missed the point, this is the server that manifests the realism and immersion. Once again people here talks about the moral aspect of chute killers... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_parachutists

<<<

Attacking parachutists from aircraft in distress is a war crime under the Protocol I addition to the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Firing on airborne forces who are descending by parachute is not prohibited.^[1]

and more... Still, both German and American pilots did shoot enemy airmen in their parachutes, albeit infrequently.

>>>

So if you ask if it's allowed on the server, then the answer is yes. But proud pilots would never do this, that's the idea of this conversation.

And it's important to say pilots like Adolf Galland never respected chute killers nor followed this shit practice.

It's just the reality, rotten pilots were in all sides.

 

I guess we talk about it too much, you are right. But some people feel they need to name those who feel fun shooting other pilots while on chute or ditched, that's the main point. Personally I want to know them or need to know who is my team mate.

Killing chutes brings nothing positive, it only generates bitterness in most people and IMO should be forbidden by TAW admins. I wouldn't shoot at chutes and till last week i had never done so. But, i find two exceptcions that i consider fair:

1. i know the guy bailing is someone who constantly does it (flying trolls like II/JG51 and =LG= guys, etc), so i wouldn't mind a bit of justice.
2. the other side has a big quorum advantage and has been stacking servers for several days not caring about campaign and damaging the outcome, so i wouldn't mind a bit of punishment.

Now, applying real life morals to a flight sim, it's naive and exagerated. True character in real life, has little to do with a flightsim alter ego.

No, I did not miss the point. The guy who I responded to ( @IV./JG51-Anton_Hafner) said that strafing never happened in reality (actually the 1st guy I responded to was <<mad>> about being strafed in a game, and went on a tantrum fit, talking crap about the community and I told him that it's just a game, there it's where it all started). You and @IV./JG51-Anton_Hafner both disregard his own quotes. I did not argue whether it was immoral in reality, I actually admit it was, this was never really the issue discussed.... read the posts before answering. We jumped to immorality when @IV./JG51-Anton_Hafner saw that he was wrong about whether it happened in war or not, and switched the subject, just to save face.

Later edit: I miss-read this part of your post. Finally, we are somewhat in agreement. Glad you finally came around (it only took 5 forum pages for you to admit this). A simulation is just that... nothing to do with fair play unless fair play was part of the environment that the simulation is trying to simulate. Fair play is something the players of that simulation add to the simulation to make it more game/contest like (and enjoyable, not all simulations are enjoyable). There are games which do let you play the SS unit. Would you go and say that all those players are "evil incarnate"? Here's another example: you are re-enacting the war from the side (and using the name and picture of a guy) that invaded multiple sovereign countries.By using your reasoning from previous posts, should we consider you immoral as a person? Just some food for thought.

No, that was not the point you made. That was the point you made when you realized you were wrong. Read your own topics. I quoted several times the part where you deny that it happened. See above in RED.

I believe what he meant was shooting chutes wasn't a common practice but rather rare events and no one actually supported such behavior while in TAW you see many followers who say it's normal and there is nothing wrong with it. First they say about immersion and getting as much realism as possible (plane set, etc.) then they say not to mix the game with the real life. So why to bother with realism when it suits you, and forget about it when it doesn't.

 

Anyway, this is a question to TAW admins...

Some people have already asked to decrease the timer from 15sec to 5-10sec. I think it would solve all this issue with killing chutes and also make it more risky to try it in case if someone really feel the need for it. But I don't recall they have ever replied to this suggestion with their point of view.

I noticed if they want to do it, it takes about 10-12sec for it so decreasing the timer to 5-8sec should sort out most of the cases.

I believe what he meant was shooting chutes wasn't a common practice but rather rare events and no one actually supported such behavior while in TAW you see many followers.

 

@72AG_Obi This guy, instead of admitting he was wrong, or that he meant what you're saying he meant, jumped to discussions about real world morality and tried to accuse people of being immoral? Do you see the issue? First poster did the same, accusing people of being immoral because he got strafed, in a game...... 

 

Accusing real world people of being immoral (people he's never met) because they are playing the same "immoral war" game that he is? Do you see the cognitive dissonance?

First they say about immersion and getting as much realism as possible (plane set, etc.) then they say not to mix the game with the real life. So why to bother with realism when it suits you, and forget about it when it doesn't.

 

Exactly.

I noticed if they want to do it, it takes about 10-12sec for it so decreasing the timer to 5-8sec should sort out most of the cases

 

Yes, this should simulate the fact that pilots tried to hide instead of just staying there waiting to be strafed.
