Piciu,

 

Those certificates are very nice and look amazing.  I realise not my place to suggest or mention, however, you might want to send one of those to Jason as perhaps this is the sort of thing they might be able to use for BOK?

Although I didn't get one, thank you for taking the time and effort to produce them for those that deserved them.

Thank you for your words mate. I`ll think about it.

We plan to run next campaign this weekend or next week. First "instant death" error must be fixed (when you hit fly and game crash then you are dead in log files). We would like to add Moscow map too and change plane set that on the first map there will be available only BOM planes like I-16 and Bf 109 E-7. Then during campaign on the next maps more and more better planes will be available. Unfortunately only-BOS users (about 26%) will not be able to participate at the beginning on the campaign due to lack of BOS planes on the first maps.

 

More details at the end of the week.

[HR_Tumu]

Thx Kathon.

[RydnDirty]

Hello Everyone, 

 

I just wanna say this server is the best flight sim server I have ever flown on. Thanks so much for making it. I'm telling everyone about it and many of them have reinstalled IL2 to fly TAW. I even bought BOM so I can fly more planes on TAW !

Can't wait for the next campaign to start.

 

Congrats on making it

Brave decision Kathon (BOM planes at begining) but i like it - try to start it asp - that bos only owners can bear waiting

[1PL-Husar-1Esk]

Kathon - maybe you can coordinate with Jason to combine the implementation of BOM-only missions with a BOM 'half off sale'! Everybody wins

Know ppl who are waiting for that sale.

[[TWB]Pand]

Hello Everyone!   I apologize for the delay but I was on vacation and just got back to pull the final population numbers for Season/Tour III.  

 

Amazingly enough, taking into account the global 24/7 game-play, both the Axis and Allied teams over the entire 12 days of battle averaged the same number of online pilots!  This has been the closest matched tour yet.   Salute and good hunting gents, TWB is looking forward to our next tour fighting for the Blue!

"Unfortunately only-BOS users (about 26%)"

I dont like that =/

I have a lot of suggestions to make. I will post later what i'm thinking about TAW
The post will be my dream about how TAW should work

I hope some things can be implemented if LG guys like

Kathon & Team-

 

Maybe there is a single BOS plane on each side that was present during BOM? Or maybe we can pretend? Maybe give each side one BOS option so BOS users can be included in the BOM-only portion?

 

Perhaps just Stuka and Il-2 1942? Obviously the Il-2 1942 wasn't present in 1941 BOM but maybe we can agree it's not such a big deal to pretend. I'm all for being historical, and I have both BOM and BOS, but hate to think some folks will be excluded for the beginning of the campaign. At least give them something, or maybe let them be gunners? 

 

Thanks for all the hard work. I'll be flying either way!

Forbidden big bombs and let people fly with 50lbs

Same for LAGG's. Yak not a option i think

This was going to be my suggestion. You could give the Allies the Lagg-3 rather than the il-2 as the Lagg-3 was already in production at this time.

 

Personally, I think that it's a bad idea to fracture the community by only allowing 1 plane set.

[ESCOMM_FlyMaker]

 

 

 

To make TAW more interesting i have few suggestions. 

What do you think about more supply options? 

A field without Ammo or Fuel will be disable but still have AAA's. To destroy field AAA you have to do damage to Repair Resources. This also affect ditch planes on this fields. If you land on field without resource you will lost the plane.

 

About cities we can put in every city depots with Tanks and arty's. Make attacks work from city to city. The attack and defence force will be directly affected by the power of these cities.

 

Re-suply this only by collumns departed from factories in back of front. This factories will have "Production Power" and you need to make damage to stop the collumns.

 

This is just a idea and i hope you can think about. With some adjustments this can add a lot of great features to the war.

I think both sides will have a new way to win the war. I fly for Russians and destroy tanks to us is much more easy than germans.

 

[I./ZG1_HeTzeR]

Just like ADW

[LLv34_Taku]

Could AI rear gunners be less effective, possible to reduce their skill level in server settings? I personally think that bomber without fighter cover should be more vulnerable. Would be little bit easier to defend ground targets when there's only few people flying...

109 F4 was present during BOM. Ju87 D1 was present, difference to BoS D3 is not too big. He111-H6 was also there. So every German aircraft apart from 190 and G2 could be used. As for Russians, i think the Pe2 is pretty close to Pe2's being used in BoM timeframe, so would be okay, comparable to the Stuka situation. This way pilots who don't own BoM could at least participate in the early stages

TOP 5 FIGHTER SQUADS season III.

 

Hi. And why in the top 5 squadrons are not FF?

On the main page of the top 5 squads we have, and the your diplomas does not included.

[Piciu]

Hi. And why in the top 5 squadrons are not FF?

Hi, it`s true. On the first page you are at the 5th place but over there, positions are counted according to score points.

Diplomas, after this season, was counted per total air kills. BOK winners were counted this way also.

You can check that at the squad statistic page.

 

http://taw.stg2.de/squads.php

Over there you are at the 6th place. Sorry

Wish you luck next season.

Пожалуйста , замените полевые погоны советского военно - воздушных сил на ежедневной.

Yes, I would like to see the Soviet epaulettes field, if you please

[ESCOMM_FlyMaker]

Here another improvements i think will bring a nice features:
- The ability to destroyed planes on ground "static planes" count on planes lost.
- Limited planes per field. Day replenishment (based on factory force) or make supply missions to bring planes back.
- Different targets around field. Ex: Fuel silos, Ammo depots, repair hangars...
- Moving targets to capture sector: Let the tanks fight against AT. In some cases if the attack force is not strength enough you have to do a nice job on enemy defenses.

If i remember something i will back with more suggestions.


 

[JG700_Rammjager]

Sugestion to next "season".

 

1. Do not offer any prize for first/second/third place in any category. 

In few last stages we fly normaly without any sugestion or suspicion of "cheating". In last "tour" sudenly we got a few cases of flying "slighty" different than usually seeing on online servers. It's only my opinion, but if one player on server have "little differnt" version of a game - rest of players got strange things online. My opinion is based on a few hundred missions hosted on "old il" online wars.  

We got a few strange things (like unable to click fly, unabale to enter the server) while on Wings of Liberty (which is bigger that TAW) server such things are not present.

2. Make a defence of airfield more stronger. Few ace AAA will do the job corectly.

3. Make more supply conwoy. Instead one or two with 10 cars, make four or six with less numbers of cars.

4. In first stage of TAW frontline airfield had a few AAA. I've wrote once that was a bad idea, but now I think it was a good idea.

5. Based planes should be G2 and ŁaGG with some restiction on payload. You can make that both types similar in fighting abilities. IMO making "based type" il and stuka is useless, cuz it's two totally diferent planes with different capabilities in destruction. 

 

 

Regards.

Ramm.

     After discussion in our team, we want to honor, with additional diplomas, pilots and squads, which are on the main TAW page at top 5 places. There was a little misuderstanding, and we want no one feel dissapointed, because of beeing in top 5 table and not receiving diplomas.
So here they are:

 

Additional Fighter Pilots:
- II./JG51Adelmann
- JG4_Ether
- JGr8_Kappe

 

Additional Bomber Pilots:
- E69_chopo
- EGr8_kadett30
- HotPursuit
- VSG1_Raven

 

Additional Fighter Squad:
- Firmament Fighters

My mom's refridgerator door will be ecstatic. ^^ Thank you.

[JGr8_Kappe]

Thank you for an interesting project!

[NO_SQDeriku777]

I don't know if this has been done but can stats be re-done so that pilot death/capture penalties are separated out between fighter and bomber roles? In other words, if a player normally flies fighters but jumps into a bomber and  dies or is captured his fighter "streak" is not interrupted and he does not lose his damaged fighters in inventory.  The same would go for bomber players that switch to fighters.  I think this would go a long way in resolving the unwillingness of people to switch up their normal roles to help out their team.

Well said Eric -- I think that is a great idea!

Thank you for this project.

 

The most important question is: When does the new campaign start? 

[Piciu]

Like Kathon said, this or next weekend. We are waiting for more details at the end of this week.
