[Paulshow2]

Sooo, last map blue started with advantage, and in the end they had 2 times our total tanks, now we started in advantage, and with a single warehouse mission they got more tanks then us?

yeah...if we do not damage that warehouse...it does it's job, whereas our apparently WAS damaged and consequently only partially did it's job...we could start a whining contest about the placement of those warehouses, but we are reds and don't do that! ??

Next time just put the warehouse to the moon... or Berlin, its closer that way.

Hahaha hohohohoho you`re killing me, funny guy 

 

But seriously, moon is fine.

[SCG_Limboski]

Do warehouses spawn for only one mission then?  If so, how many times per map?  Section 3.10 of the rules is written poorly and I have no idea what this means eactly: Warehouses and ships are spawned and visible on the map once a few days. If not destroyed they increase limits by.

[Coldman]

i think they spawn every 20 missions or so

I love this joke, but imo that warehouse placement it’s even funnier. Probably a remanent of the infamous “blue must win edition” from mid 2018; anyone remembers?

 

It was so screwed, that a year and a half later TAW still struggles to get the balance back.

Ehm, no.

 

Better stuff was happening on the 1st or the 2nd map of the current campaign where the striped area with column or what was closely between two active red airfields and had a railway station right in the middle of it, which made it a nice AA one tap-wing off deadzone.

 

Unreachable rear depots are an issue on both sides, especially when one is winning.

Why do we still have tanks pushing after we exceeded the cap? Are we supposed to not have more tanks? Am i missing something or the system is struggling?

And now when Axis tanks run out its another draw?

[FTC_Prancing]

That's just very bad, when the system stop working as it should that means someone have mess with It too much i guess, btw for next TAW i would like to suggest half admins on both sides

The location of the warehouses are close to the boarders for each sides for every map. The idea was that it's destroyed similar like the depot by level bombing so the placement is similar. It has been like that from the beginning of the TAW for about 3 years and suddenly it's a big problem?

 

However this map Stalingrad_Center was originally smaller (as some of you may remember) and ended on the city Stalingrad. There were no Kulklin and Leninsk cities at the beginning, they were added later. Unfortunately I forgot about warehouse and now Allied warehouse is located near Shkolniy (near the old, original border of the map). I will fix it in the next campaign.

The advantage at the start doesn't matter. If you destroy completely enemy warehouse no new tanks, trucks and aircraft will be added to the limit. If you damage it only part will be added according to the level of the destruction. If the city near the warehouse is captured no warehouse is generated (like depot)

So where would you like to put it? In the middle of the map so enemy would destroy it before you could even fly there and protect it? Or warehouse wouldn't be generated at all because the front line moved and city with warehouse was captured. That would be really fair: winning side has warehouse where other side don't. 

 

Please, give us en example where in your opinion would be ideal location of the warehouse.

Yes, they are generated as a target during particular mission. So if you don't destroy it during that mission it will be not generated in the next mission. The next mission with warehouse will be after a few days. How many times per map? - it depends how long the maps last.

That was done deliberately and I spent many, many hours to find places where the script could generate such situations. It was main idea of the TAW to create such missions every time with tanks between two airfields and railway station. But unfortunately it was only one mission during almost 4 years of TAW campaigns so I think I have to devote much more free time to improve it.

If limit is exceeded then new tanks are not generated. It doesn't has impact on the tanks that had been generated before it. 

Example:

Mission #100: tank convoy was generated

Mission #101: tank limit was reached

Mission #102: tank convoy from mission #100 is still on the map advancing to the enemy city. 

Mission #103: no more tanks convoys are generated because of the limit.

Thats way to near to the front line. In my opinion the position of the german warehouses are ok right now. However the red warehouses are way to far away from the front. There should be a limit to how far away from the front warehouses can be.

they are far away from the front if we move the front way on your territory, that's nothing wrong with it, and you're talking about depots not warehouses, the red warehouse spawned in a no sense closer to the front position than yours, on the edge of the map, if we had our warehouse on the other edge of the map that would have been ok.

[Paulshow2]

thanks for reply @=LG=Kathon.

it's clear now. it was the errorneous placement of the allied warehouse and the fact that i totally missed the mission with the blue warehouse that confused me.

it is clear those have to spawn in an area that remains friendly up to the very end and consequently has to be close to the borders.

i didn't play TAW for a year, so i have probably missed some rationales that led to the current status.

if we as a red team do the right things at the right time it is fully up to us whether the warehouse boost blows up into our faces or not! 

unfortunately that seems to havn't been fully transparent to all of us.

So @teammates: only a handful of blue tanks left! watch out for the warehouse!???

[Geo_91]

Any idea how could be a TAW with a only BoP planes? would be nice,  play in only one map? i think that could be very bored play in only same map like 8 times, with always the same planes. 

 

[Paulshow2]

i would rather expect bobp to become map#9 in next taw edition ?

[=OPFR=Osprey06]

This is my 2nd TAW campaign....So, right now LW has 8 tanks remaining. I predict that the "magic" warehouse will arrive soon and bring more tanks to LW than VVS receives allowing them a miraculous comeback.  Seems to me, if the developers are flying for LW, then they will know WHEN and WHERE this "magic" warehouse will arrive.  Is there a new icon on the map that marks the warehouses so both sides can see?  If not, then they know when they will spawn go kill ours and defend theirs on that particular mission.  The fact that they are down to 1 depot and we've held most of the map for a good portion of this round is now functionally irrelevant?

So it appears the map ended in a draw... Still wondering how we would know where these warehouses that generate extra resources will show up.  If no icon, I call BS.

Are you saying they are just additional buildings at an existing depot?

On the contrary, it's very healthy. So please accept my gratitude

[=OPFR=Osprey06]

Well then please explain what the random warehouse icon looks like and where was the last one placed?  I've never seen one.  Is it titled depot or warehouse?  Do we have recon photos like depots??? Can someone explain this?  Otherwise the VVS is left searching for a new warehouse created by wizards at the end of a rainbow that only seems to activate when the LW gets low on tanks. If it isn't clearly marked for both sides immediately when spawned, it is a definite LW/=LG= advantage.

WTF??? Limit of planes , if some one haven't planes map ending by wining one of side, but when tanks ends IMHO one side must kill tanks of second side to drow, or another capture main depot, its BULL SH*T that rules.!

I think that option must be off.

[Cpt_Siddy]

Can we rework the blue depot on the kuban map? 

 

You can guard both depots at the same time and intercept bombers from a single point with this new visibility system. Something to think about
