@Kathon - can you do us a favor when you have time and update the link on the Forum navigation link at the top of the TAW page to point to your post describing this upcoming (tomorrow) start of TAW?  Namely:  

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/21029-tactical-air-war/?do=findComment&comment=912935

 

Otherwise it goes to an older post a few TAW iterations back.

Thanks in advance!

I just noticed the Forum link has been updated to the current TAW notification/changes post, thanks Kathon!

Better this option

Is there still the problem where a map rolls and the same target is up, but when you annihilated it with a 1000kg bomb dead center nothing happens because it was "destroyed" last map?

If target is destroyed it's not on the map in the next mission. Target can be only damaged so in the next mission there will be much less objects in it.

Make the disallowed plane kick timer LONGER.

 

If the kick countdown timer is ten seconds, and the count up timer to exit a plane is 15 seconds then

you get kicked OUT of the server regardless of how quick you are to react to the kick message.

 

Can you make the kick countdown timer LONGER than 15 seconds. 30 seconds would be fine I reckon.

 

S!

 

Knalp.

Kick timer is 60 sec.

Is it there any way of fixing the stats?

My Thoughts Exactly

[Ala13_armanVR]

Hi good morning, a while ago my partner and I have made a bombing flight and when we were back on the approach to the airfield the server has fallen, or at least it has thrown us out ... Almost an hour of flight with multiple objectives each , but in the final result show on the web it appears as in flight and with 0 targets when we had destroyed 3 and 4 each.

 

Is there any chance of recovering the results?

I leave link to both flights

Server restarted after bug where everyone was kicked out of the DServer. 

 

Fixed transport by U-2VS to 7% (the same as Ju-52).

 

I will try to fix those not counted sorties.

Damn. So this is more than just the issue of poor visibility at certain zooms/distances since even the marker didn't appear until very close on the recording.

 

Were you using VR?

Maldición. Por lo tanto, esto es más que el problema de la poca visibilidad en ciertos zooms / distancias, ya que incluso el marcador no apareció hasta muy cerca de la grabación.

I claim an unregistered demolition, I have attacked x2 he-111 I have left them dropping fuel near our tank, as I sensed that they would fly near while the mission was finished I have landed and I have taken another lighter p-40 of fuel and new ammunition , I have gone out to look for them and I have seen them again, I have followed one of them until I have seen him lay on the ground (he did not give me the knockdown) I have looked for the other he-111 and I have finished knocking him down, I just has counted the last ... I leave below the records of damage to the flights.

If you enter another aircraft before your probably kill plane ditch your shot downs from earlier sortie will not be counted.

When you lose your lives, do you no longer get a full '1.0' life back after 20 hours?  I lost all my lives and when my timer expired just a little while ago, I never got a whole life back, only .27 life.

It still gives you 1 more chance to fly and you're obviously not going to build up to 2 chances any time soon so it seems to work as intended, even if it looks odd on the stats page.

When life counter drops below 0 then it's increased  by 1 (not to 1).

 

Example:

1. Current life counter = 0.12

2. You died and it's decreased by 0.85 (it's fractional by flying on the smaller team)

3. Result is 0.12 - 0.85 = -0.73. It's below 0 so there is time penalty and life counter is increased by 1

4. Life counter equals -0.73 + 1 = 0.27

 

5. If you die again it's decreased by 0.5 this time  (it's fractional by flying on the smaller team)

6. then 0.27 - 0.5 = -0.23 so time penalty and -0.23 + 1 final result is 0.77

 

I hope it helps.

From when? The moment you spawn in or the moment the message comes up?

 

Many times I have seen the message come up and in the 15 seconds it takes me to end flight I get kicked.

So something is up.

 

S!

It’s an asshole move on any other server but here it’s understandable. The JG.51 guys strafed and killed me when I ditched yesterday, which makes sense: I can recover my P40 very quickly but the life cushion is gone till the end of the map.

Maybe the ratio is calculated at time of spawn or takeoff, not death

Learning from mistakes, this time I finished off my enemies again and flew until the takedowns were confirmed.

Hello.

 

It was the plane selection thing. And the "not having enough time to end the flight" issue.

 

I found the TAW manual to be organised in a not very user friendly way.

Particularly with some of the more basic concepts really need a "how to"

in their own right. Such as what the plane selection thing is about, how to

use the transport thing. Etc. Not just extra points buried in some related

but over arching topic.

 

Like this: Why did I get kicked for 20hrs? Did I do something bad? Etc.

 

Frankly it's a bit of a grind to get up to speed.

 

Conceptually it's a good idea.

But the documentation is a not... lets say "quickly digestible"

 

Diagrams might actually help. Charts. Flow charts. Pictures. Separate points?

 

Digging through documentation to find the salient points is really not that easy.

Constantly going back to it to try and work something out is ..vexing.

 

Will keep on giving it a go. But the 20hr stand down is a a bit of a slap in the face.

Get shot down doing your best and hey it's a double whammy. Sigh.

 

Last time I think after 38 mins of flight time I was back in jail. : - (

 

Oh well, never mind.

 

S!

 

Kanlp.

 

 

 

 

 

For more info you can check change log at the bottom of the manual. There are all changes.

Updating the manual in four different languages before every campaign where many things are added and changed would be very time consuming. I decided to run many campaigns during a year with outdated manual rather than a few campaigns with correct manual.

It's information that some slots on the Axis side has been reserved for the admins and others can't spawn on the airfields at that moment.
