My Perspective:

 

for people like me (and i am sure iam not the only one) ...  I dont use TEAMSPEAK and iam not in a Squad or with wingman !

( in the past i used to and it ended that my wingman endet with his "MACHINE" (see Photo) at the balcony in winter with a heater under his feet, because our wifes couldnt stand/hear our conversations anymore: " SIX;SIX SIX or LOW, run , 2 oclock , whereare you!!! and so on..." ) 

 

You are not the only one by a long way, but some of us have a different way of dealing with the problem...when I'm on Team Speak, my wife wears earphones if she's going to watch the TV because she doesn't like the idea of being on the balcony  

[JG4_Widukind]

Waht I want to say is, that we need biger

Squads and lot of single Pilots in one Comms. 

Teamspeak

For better communication and speak over taktical nesessary stuff. 

Many free Pilots have no Idea waht it's better do to in always changing strategy and taktical staff. 

For example:Airfield attacks and Defend

[Pict]

It still comes down to a trust issue as even "Comms" (I assume you meant stuff like TS) doesn't guarantee that your not going to get spied on by "single Pilots" as you can never be 100% sure who you've hooked up with.

 

I got to flying with a guy for a bit on TS and he directed me to his location at one point saying there was some action to be had, then he disconnected only to reconnected for the other side. I smelt a rat and bugged out, but I could have been done in over it.

 

I'm not in a squad, but the same applies where squads must be reluctant to trust random single players on their comms. Which I think is understandable, even though I would really like to fly along with them given the chance.

 

All up it's a difficult problem to find a solution to and one that was nowhere near as prolific at the time in real life.

 

Swapping sides mid campaign or mid mission as some do is not something I do myself and not something I like to see other do as I feel it on contributes to this problem. And it certainly wasn't an option during WW2.

Why not use TeamSpeaks WhisperLists? What baffles me is why so few people use it. I so frequently see 10+ people crammed into one channel all talking over each other. It lets you have secure communications with anyone on the TS3 server, whether or not they are in the same channel with you.

I'm sure the whisper list is useful, but my point wasn't about have secure comms with people, but more about having comms with secure people  

 

PS., I just looked at you profile and you have made 6 posts since you joined in March 2016, not including the last 2 you've made that were in the last 24hrs or so, that 4 posts in 6 years+ which is an average of less than one post per year.

 

That would be impressive on it's own, but as you have quoted me in the last 2 posts it fires my imagination.

 

What's the go, are you a fan? or what?

Honnestly I think people are overblowing this issue of spying from the otherside's TS. I don't think it is so widespread and even if ennemy can intercept a few coms he still needs to find you in the air and be there in an advantagous position.  And you could use some realworld procedure to mitigate this using codenames for objectives or referencing to a codenamed landmark or bullseye.

(then some poeple are so pathetic here that they try to secure everysingle smallest advantage that they can get ... even if destroys everybody's fun)

 

As a lonewolf player, I really think there should be either a SRS for TAW or at least a general 'blue' and 'red' channel on the TAW TS, for random lone wolf pilot to coordinate. it makes no sense that there is only channels for specific squadrons.

Communication between pilots here outside virtual wings is quite low i find compared to similar server I could experience in other sims.

Hardly "overblowing" it, simply pointing out that it's a potential problem because it's known to happen.

 

Like you say it's easy enough to work around it, but like anything else you feel the need to work around, you first have to recognize the need to do so. As I said, it's not something I would do myself, but it doesn't bother me too much that a few people do. Rather than get wound up about it, I tend to find it funny, in a hopeless way.

 

But once again it's something to be aware of especially when debating solutions for comms. Which is the context that it was brought up in, nobody was overstating it.

 

Anyhow secure comms makes little difference when dealing with insecure people

Maybe TAW could reorganize the TS ? it seems to me there isn't really channel on TAW TS that are suitable for the 'lonewolf' flying red or blue that would wish to coordinates with team mates. All channels are divided by squadrons rather. Or maybe TAW could implement Simple radio System(  SRS) from DCS and assign a 'common freq' for each side in the briefing ?

==================

 

I never understood the logic behind letting people have more than one account and be able to switch sides as they please. I reckon if everyone had to pick a side at the start of the campaign and stick with it, much of that silliness would evaporate.

Honestly no, I just tried to connected once and stayed 2min. Because I see the overlay on the TAW website with the channels& people connected. And I was wondering should I join ? And by looking at it it didn't seem to me that there was a place for me as a lonewolf pilot ? I didn't know in which channel to go? The one time I went I didn't dare to go into a squad's channel as it felt like intruding and in the other channel there were just people speaking german ?

 

Sorry, but it is just my view now as a 'noob' on this server and with my experience coming from other places. Maybe it is flawed( it probably is- and I wil try again and maybe it will change my opinion). But I think it is important to look at how TAW looks from the 'outside' and how it can attract new players and create more dynamic gameplay.

It is dangerous to write in a team chat, due to the fact that some of the second accounts are monitoring team message for intercept target, or a friend playing on the blue side can tell the second friend on the red side information from the chat, the same is true in the reverse order.
Join in taw ts or ask for access to ts of any allied squad, who more often flies with you at the same time.
Without voice communication, flying is hard and bad. While you are writing to the chat that they are attacking you, instead of leaving the line of attack, you will already be killed

 That's the saddest thing I've ever read in this thread. Do people really do that? Anyway, well done, that's the reason why many squads like us stopped coordinating with other squads using chat.

 

Worse teamplay, worse experience for both teams, less fun, but more chance of winning the map... so sad.

Hello everyone

Can somebody tell me, where i can find a conditions for destroys ground targets?

I mean, what I must to destroy on point of defense line for close it? All guns, armoured vehicles, tanks, trucks, may be some tower or buildings?

And for artillery point? I suppose only all anti-tanks guns, or I wrong?

TAW has been on the go for quite a while and has been developed to what it is now by a great bunch of guys who put their own time and money into it, with a little help from others. They listen to what people who use their server have to say and sometimes change things. Either way they take the time to explain their choices and that's the bottom line...it's their choice.

 

If you have a suggestion, put it forward in a structured fashion and if it makes sense people will debate it with, possible even they guys who run the server and possible they might implement you ideas. But if it's like your comments above, few people will take you seriously.

 

I don't think they need to "attract new players" as for the last few campaigns the biggest problem at peak times was getting onto the server because it was full. Getting on was a case of waiting in line for somebody to quit.

 

========================

 

The more I look around the boards here recently, the more I see an effort on some peoples part to push the guys who provide TAW  around and try to force their ideas on them. I think that a poor show when we consider how much TAW has given everyone here for so long.

Yet by his own admission he doesn't even fly on TAW or want to.

 

 

Which is no surprise, as he doesn't have BOS and without it he lacks the Stalingrad map which is a major part of TAW and many of the aircraft used throughout the rest of the campaign.

 

It's understandable that some people who prefer the western front scenario would have only bought BOM for the P-40, Macchi & 109's and missed out on BOS, yet bought BOK. P-39, Boston and more Luftwaffles.

 

But it make no logical sense why such a person would then take aim at a fellow "server admin" who runs a predominantly ostfront server and try to push them into changing their way of doing things.

You call my character into question and subsequently allege demonstrable falsehoods. Not a great look.

 

Combat Box didn't exist when we were flying these TAW sorties, but a large number of the aircraft in those videos and pictures contained a future member of the Combat Box admin staff or founders team. We created the server because we were able to identify a need within the IL-2 userbase for a new way of thinking. CB is so much more than a Western planeset and map.

 

It's built on accessibility as a primary driver. I appreciate that TAW is not attempting to be the most accessible server on the list - and that is absolutely fine - however as I've said before in the thread, I have some concerns that the choices being made are not necessarily going to have healthy consequences for overall population. There is a limit to how hardcore you can make a server if you want to attract a wide enough variety of pilots. I was concerned given that polls like the one you quoted already exist - questioning the lack of participation in TAW.

 

I definitely do not want TAW to die - Todchenko and I had a lengthy Discord discussion about it the other night and it was very cordial. Combat Box and TAW do not compete.

 

If either of our servers "die" it sucks for the community as a whole. I want TAW to be there for when I don't feel like flying Combat Box at some point. I'm giving my feedback as a member of the multiplayer community, but also as an admin who has had to make very similar decisions impacting his own server. Alternate Visibility was a good example - we ran A/B testing for a couple of weeks and took regular polls from the community both inside CB's Discord but also from the wider IL-2 community as a whole in order to best gauge what players wanted - both the ones that already played with us, and those who might choose to in future.

 

I'm honestly not sure why you have such a problem with me Pict. TAW administration is welcome to listen/ignore my feedback just as they are any other player.

 

@=L/R=todchenko thanks again for the discussion on Discord, I'm sorry to bring up CB in your thread again but I felt it necessary to defend myself in this instance. I don't plan on talking about it anymore.

Haha I know right. For someone who hasn´t flown this eastern front TAW nor the last eastern front before, he sure seems to know what the atmosphere has been like and tries to force his way on the server admins. I think he ought to take a look at the numbers of TAW on the first 4 Maps. Its normal that ppl are not flying as you get burnt out after while and that  I think is the main issue. It has been somewhat balanced that the maps drag ooon for more than a week.. Unless you are diehard like Hardekoning, Tarantul or Prancingkiller who btw probably have more hours in one TAW than this guy logs in a year, you are probably going to fly way less in the later maps.

On the server settings subject, i'm all for technochat OFF. TAW is the most hardcore server, i'd like it to remain like that. Also i'd like next edition to take a while and apply those changes before it starts, the longer the wait, the more eager people is to fly it after so many repetitive servers with fixed targets and no dynamic system.

It's great to know Kuban maps will finally be tweaked. And also as current TAW it's about to oficially end (it ended for most of us after map #5 when the outcome was decided) would be nice if admins take into consideration what Riksen proposed regarding statistics and prizes, IMO most if not all (check the support that post has) TAW community is on the same page here=> 

 

Those Enkas or Kuznechik prizes should not be given to pilots with 0 deaths anymore; rewarding that kind of flying is way off TAW essence; pilots commited with the campaign flying many hours from map #1 to the end who sometimes get KIA are usually way more important and useful than guys worried about no losing a single virtual life and by this TAW rewards guys who usually are irrelevant or do little for the campaign outcome; again, it's fine if they want to approach it like that, to each it's own, but TAW server shouldn't promote or reward that type of flying. 

All things proposed in the linked post are great, and have a unanimous support by TAW community no matter what side people fly.

[[GCA]T1m270]

Thanks all for a good campaign overall!  I think the team balance was almost as good as we have got so far, with maybe just 1 of the higher scoring clans on blue, it would have been peak balance.

 

Well played to all Red for the brilliant comms and teamwork. Well played to all Blue for the excellent big Airfield raids, very impressive to see ~20 planes coming in!

 

Looking forward to the next one!  

 

You know we will start getting annoying and asking ? another EF or another Boden next?

I understand what you mean, and I see the logic behind, but I'd like to present it from another persepective...

 

You are right, TAW is the most hardcore server, and as I see it, this is also thanks to the importance of each live. That is what make your heart race when someone at your six, or at your 12. Lives don't matter actually. What matters is the feeling that the will of survival creates. In that way, I'd agree with any idea/proposal that promote those feelings/way of flying, even over the competitivity. Even if you kill 10 times less. Of course it's more important for your team to kill 20 tanks and being killed that kill 2 and be alive. But what's the feeling when attacking a tank column with AAA when you don't want to die? That makes every kill you get worth 10 times more (to you).That as a general comment.

 

I agree that the biggest streak is a real achievement, no matter the pilot died or not (like in real life). But I also think that the being the alive pilot with the biggest streak at the time of finishing the campaign is also a big achievement (like in RL). Moreover, in this way the list is more dynamic and encourage pilots to try big streaks (that is, being alive) even at the end of the campaign. Otherwise, in the middle-end part of the taw, it's very likely that noone can even try to enter in the top5, so there is no motivation on it.

 

Both are big achievements imho. However, I understand your point also. You are in the top5 and have to decide whether keep flying at the risk of being killed (out of top5 chart) or stay ground (or get another 666giap account). There is a decission you have to made, what do you prioritize, stats or flying. But let's be realistic, this is an issue that don't affect 99.9% of players.

 

If you remained in the chart after being killed, now you'll be flying, getting more kills, even risking a bit to much to get kills to increase the streak instead of flying safe without kills. That's against my idea of realism. If you fly, I want you to fly tense, focused on survival, as it should be. Not flying excessively agressive to try climbing one position in the chart before dying.

 

I said 'you', but I mean in general, someone in your situation.

 

In the same way, surviving a whole taw is a HUGE achievement and of course imho should be awarded. Of course it's easier if you don't attack ground, if you fly blue, but in the same way that it's easier becoming a tank killer being red. You can't win everything. In my opinion, this award recognize pilots that are flying here for realism, and as a hardcore server, it should award survival over points.

 

We all agree that a pilot with 2 deaths and 100GK is better for the team than one with 0 deaths and 25GK, but that is thinking only on competitivity. A matter of taste. I'd prefer being the 0-25 guy. There are pilots here flying for realism, competitivity, narcisism, and many others. TAW has to satisfy many different types of pilots. Someone was the best fighter pilot? he has a prize, the ground killer? too, the best squads? why the best survival shouldn't?

 

It's only my point of view. But I actually give a shit about stats and top5, only guys in there care about them ?  I only know that I died way too many times, and that I'll try to accomplish my mission, even with the risk of being killed. Survival? ALWAYS, but not over everything. That's reaslims imho, and I think most of pilots agree on that, after all, this is a simulator, not a game.

We mainly agree in everything, the only thing i partially disagree with is this:

Unless you are commited to the campaign and take some risks, surviving the whole TAW is not a great achievement really. Specially if you fly only fighters, and specially if those fighters are the ones that dictate the fight -while having great firepower- and can escape whenever you want. If you fly let's say two maps like that, you can be in the top 5 with 0 deaths, and don´t fly anymore...and TAW will reward you right now. Nonesense! And i say it with knowledge cause i accomplished this once -an edition i didn't "oficially" participate- and won Kuznechik prize even without looking for it; flew 30 sorties and there i was, top 5 no deaths...but really did little to nothing for the campaign outcome. Again, people fly the way they want, but some approaches shouldn't be rewarded by a project that has a different essence; most of us here want to win the campaign and care about objectives while not going suicide mode ON...we agree that's one of the great things about TAW. It would be fair and better to award those best overall pilots.

If surviving the whole TAW with no deaths is to be rewarded OK then, but it must have certain conditions, like a minimum flight hours, or participation in all maps, etc. That would be a great achievement. And please, no more real life prizes, we've seen this edition what some people is capable of doing just to win them ?‍♂️

Anyway, this is only one portion of that post written by Riksen, there are many interesting options that can be added, like the best overall pilot for instance, and other stuff.

 

Also, i remember back in the day in il2 1946 =BY= squad at their "Airforce War" project splitted stats between sides, best LW fighter/attacker/bomber; and same with VVS, it was a good idea cause after all, your performance can be really "compared" to the guys who have the same planeset than you.

Quick rant... feel free to ignore!

 

So I look at the time tonight, thinking... oh nice, I don't have to be to bed for another 40 minutes... maybe time for a quick TAW sortie?

 

Spawn in... 42 minute time penalty remaining!! AHHH!!  I died late last night and I can't play tonight either??   Wouldn't 12 hour penalty be PLENTY?

 

Sorry... rant over... like I said... just ignore me.

 

 

 

 

Also, I love the idea of the medals, but I hate seeing that there is like one or two guys, with no deaths, and got around 175 ground kills in the beginning, and then just QUIT playing TAW altogether, although I see them in other servers (so it's not like they're not playing IL-2 at all)

It is dangerous to write in a team chat, due to the fact that some of the second accounts are monitoring team message for intercept target...

 there is like one or two guys, with no deaths, and got around 175 ground kills in the beginning, and then just QUIT playing TAW...

 

This is the main reason why I stopped to play TAW...

My target was to reach at least 250 GK with no death.

Then during a mission a guy (I should check, but I think is from your team) found me and shot to me all his ammo.. Lucky me was a P-40, so my H111 can barely still fly..

Then I saw him get close to my flank and point me to ram, but the map ended before he can hit me!

So, I have no problem with this tactic (we were over his territory) and I was just lucky (like when the professor make you a question but then the bell rings...

 

What is wrong (in my opinion) is that lately I found him again, he was red and after few minute I connect he became blu (with exactly the same nick). Of course I wrote to the chat that I was going to bomb 1123 while I was in 2411, but then asked my self what kind of competition is this if people act in this way...

Well then it's a good thing those poor helpless damsels who run TAW have a white knight like you to watch out for them!

 

It's a discussion board Pict, we all share our opinions of what we think TAW should be like.

 

 Reading that makes me think of a one liner an old guy I knew used to say...

So listening to you, I probably should put the horse in the garage and take the car in from the pasture. But it's unlikely that I'll do any of it

The pilot cannot read the team chat until he selects the plane and spawns at the airfield.
But if someone chose one side appeared on the plane, and then changed the coalition in spite of the fine, then this is certainly not an honest game. Such cases must be reported to the server administration so that such a player is punished.

So I look at the time tonight, thinking... oh nice, I don't have to be to bed for another 40 minutes... maybe time for a quick TAW sortie?

 

Spawn in... 42 minute time penalty remaining!! AHHH!!  I died late last night and I can't play tonight either??   Wouldn't 12 hour penalty be PLENTY?

Was your team the majority? If so, then everything is fair, there are so few opponents.
If the enemy had a numerical superiority, then you could take off

Hello everyone, I would like to ask the LG about blocking the TAW server to some IPs, I need help to be able to fly back to the TAW server. Clicking on server taw means freezing my screen and I get the error # 10019 all other servers (wol, combat box, berloga, etc.) I can enter without problems.

Cheers!

Waht I want to say is, that we need biger

Squads and lot of single Pilots in one Comms. 

Teamspeak

For better communication and speak over taktical nesessary stuff. 

Many free Pilots have no Idea waht it's better do to in always changing strategy and taktical staff. 

For example:Airfield attacks and Defend

 

You are correct! The result is we end up flying alone and die usually as the RED side are more apt to fly on comms i.e. as a team. More people might fly BLUE but more lone wolves - so that makes easy prey for RED team that use mutual support - because they are on comms.

 

However, Windukind your squad's TS channel and most others on TAW TS are locked to non squad members! Non members have have to wait to be invited. The average map time of 2 hrs, but the average sortie is about 20 - 40 mins - no one has time to wait to be invited.

 

This is the issue with most of the world's problems - We are quick to point out the problem but slow to see the role we play to causes the problem. (JG7_X-Man, 2020)

What the F is this bs of having to wait when your side is over the limit and you get the msg to wait 50 sec...wait get kicked and then go back into the  queue and start over again.....got to 6 sec's got kicked....had to start over...after 20 mins of this shit I stopped trying....I once played taw and was outnumbered ...started out 5-1...ok not too bad..then went to 15-1...then 27-1....guess you need to be in a super squad to get in when sides are so in-balanced...Being number 1 in the queue means nothing if you are a single....
