1st CP point have to be won once or repeatedly in each map? 

2nd In the ADW we had the right to form a division. Would this still be possible in TAW?

@Daedalos 

 

Thanks for faith and warm words Daed

1- Repeadetly. Earning planes at ADW was a moment when people were loosing motivtion.
First 3 maps were awesome, rest decent, last boring. 

We try to learn on those mistakes.

2. To much coding Didnt had resources, also players were pointing out its better to stay on 1 account instead of reloging.

Really? After talking amongst us yesterday after this meeting...

 

We were hoping for innovation instead. More diversity in target design, like how trucks, bunkers, artillery and tanks are placed and labeled (e.g. look at Finnish). We hoped for innovations and new things in mission design like more recon, hunting supplies, moving trains, or bomber raids on the maps, ships included, etc., go wild. But I did not see any of this on the menu at all on TAW now. Instead we even got less diversity and more restrictions.

 

So... we are just as sceptical as the community. We'll give it a go at first, but if it's like last TAW of low active numbers even during European evenings... I'd rather take a pistol and PK Siddy on take-off 

 

 

 

Wait, wait, wait...
Hold on ?
 

All those claims and what in exchange for our hard work after hours ???
Well Fenris, I need to invite you to help with coding so you will quickly change your mind. ?

But there is other option, we can think about doing all this stuff later but it means it will be a full time job and have adequate price.

Not true. 
From the every source in the universe this gentelman is the last one to belive. Just future advice, no offence.

 

You yourself told us in the chat that bomber careers had access to basic fighter and other basic planes, but fighter careers fighters had no bombers. 

 

 I was quoting you. 

 

 

Also, if what i understand is correct, this is how the accessibility of planeset goes (above picture is example of two hypothetical mixtures of planesets/map circled in green and red). Bombers and heavy attackers like 111 or 110 or 129 does not appear in the yellowed basic planes. But Fighters and light attackers do, along with special plane (ju 52). From this it follows, that dedicated bomber careers have limited access to fighter while dedicated fighters have  no access to any sort of bomber (88, 111) or 110, only attacker (ju 87). Unless you want to get cute and call 87 a "dive bomber" in the "ATTACK PLANE" section, my point stands.

 

So either i am totally mistaken, misheard or and misunderstood you and i am totally misreading your exel chart.... or you should work on clarifying what you say and write to mean what you want them to mean. A tip, just the tip and only for a moment... no offence.

New preliminary planeset (Minor changes may be made): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B-vVf8RBXn61zsArjosn3dpIZ_4nDBjYemJ-C-OryV8/edit#gid=0

 

 

 

 

Speaking of the plane sets, i suggest that you don't combine 110 and 88 in same line. Both are very strong attackers, where 88 can also level bomb. 

Combining the two makes the most no brainier career to all around pilots, who can do bombing, fighting and attacking. I predict the majority of non fighter careers will be the Kampfzestörer due to its sheer flexibility.

@=LG=Blakhart can I ask how are the early planes such as "Yak-1 early" and "Bf 109 F-4 1.3 ata" implemented? do they have locked bomb racks? I'm curious about how you managed the issue of people possibly de-selecting the modifications in the hangar screen.

Jeez. That seems more than a little extreme. 

If you call someone a liar is it not expected that they be allowed to try to refute that? I get that it must be frustrating to have changes which you've worked hard upon criticised and talked about in the forums, but aren't these forums for discussing TAW? As far as I've seen, no-one's been abusive, aggressive or personal to LG, and have just been discussing the potential changes, giving suggestions, and raising concerns (all because we're all really interested in these changes and love TAW). There's hardly been a flame war, as suggested.

Yes, Siddy went ahead and shared the draft plane-set when you said it wasn't for public, which he shouldn't have, but for those of us not invited to the meeting that's all the info we had. People kept in the dark are going to be curious, especially when it's about something that we love.

If this forum isn't the place to discuss TAW changes, where should we do so?

How much “historical” current planeset is ? 90% or something ? (sry for my english)

It's pretty accurate. For example there are no Fw 190A-3s in the planeset, because they were not present in the theatres represented here. Not a single Fw 190 was present over Stalingrad for example. Those were exclusively deployed at Army Groups Centre and North. The only Focke Wulfs present in the south were the ones of II./SchG 1 in the Kuban Bridgehead in the beginning of 1943 until they were redeployed north to fight at Kursk.

To all: 
There is many options. Even you want to fly a bomber you will still have fighter and assault planes. 

Basic are fighters/fight-bomb~JABO/transport/special/small bombers/strikers.
System is organised to provide possible optimal historcial accuracy with some logic how Geschwaders and Divisions/Regiments were organised.

We choose a role, and are enlisted to Geschwader/Polk~Aviatsionnaya Diviziya and serve there till the end of the war like most military pilots did.
When campaigns are changing new planes comes to units.
 

You guys reall wanna complain about historical accuracy and logic  ?? ? 

Career/lines are created to present the most popular and typical scheme of progress. 
Example: on some maps there can be a simulation when You as a Geschwader pilot can have access to 109G2 as the newest 109F4 as the old planes and 109 E7B as a JABO, simulating few staffels (plus Ju87 as well ), similar story with reds and bomber lines.

 

You will see. 
Small changes were already done on the file which you saw.

Last link was shared to squads and priv forums but not for public forum purpouse.

 

When I saw Siddy posting the link I closed the access.

You can thank him for such smart decision.

Without explanation and understanding of the system it would start the flame war.
I dont want start ANY forum fight right now. 

You wanna argue, fight, come on TS and talk, ask questions. 

About data. 
Research was done via: 
( many good folks helped, I will mention them later)
KAGERO, Osprey, AJ-Press, PROFILE, Aviation,  magazines

Plenty of books
www.ww2.dk  - LW      http://www.ww2.dk/new/vvs.htm  - VVS RKKA
go and check how VVS RKKA and LW units were evolving during the war, really cool stuff 

It`s not the arcade stuff with uber mods and planes which you mostly have on other servers.

All those ideas were waiting 5 years. Celebrate and feel special because you will be the one who will test it first in IL-2:GB.

Yes.
History happens like in 2016 when we launched first TAW.

You remember how bugged and simple it was ? 

And check where we are now

 

With project founded ONLY on free donations, without DEV help.

You still wanna come and critize because something is too hard for you to play
Yeah, go ahead. 
We - dont - care.

NO NO NO
 

Initial stage in progress. All features must be initialy loaded and checked. 

The planeset is "as much historical as it can be due to game limitations considering also giving both teams equal chances to win the campaign".

No more CM and cheap safe missions. Cargo still works ONLY with 0 machines in the hangar.
1 cargo --> 1 basic plane ( however you cant get more than 1 by CARGO mission) 

Combat points per every ground/airkill. Harder to kill ---> bigger point value

Every career have adv and disadv, no option for jump between to expolit the best planes only. A
Also in TAW you are in airforce, think about it, you change your plane with your unit, not with your preference. 

Yes, Doppel-Blitz
https://ww2db.com/aircraft_spec.php?aircraft_model_id=19
 

There will be Fw-190 A-5/U3 used like in historical campaiggn.

No A-3, same story with La-5, no FN , 9Tuntil Kursk. 
Open your eyes wide.

And honestly, I`m really glad about how it looks.
FW 190 driver is not untouchable anymore, lack of skills will be not saved by speed, durability and weapon advantage .

So we will have access to basic planes that can fulfill most roles, but our career dictates the better planes we get access to as we progress. Is that about right?

Yes, if you pick a White mage, you cant pick any skill points from Necromancer skill tree. 

 

or in this case, if you are a fighter jock, you wont be let in 111/A-20 cockpit.

I'm just a member in ACG and not a higher staff, I can't explain you why.

But I know that ACG is dedicated to more casuals who just want to have fun playing realistic campaigns! Playing against vets (LG as an example) might make things too competitive and not really satisfactory for the most ACG casuals so I think that might be your answer.

Well, we also love playing realistic campaigns, thats why we change our war accordingly to our initial plans from 5 years.
If ACG members wants to compete vs LG and other teams at our war I don`t see any problem to competing vs LG in ACG campaign
Fair and logical as hell

ACG is always open for registrations, just go on the ACG website, register and you guys will be able to see how it works, no?

also, for the competition part, no, it doesn't make sense, cause TAW is a competitive campaign, there's someone that win and someone that lose, ACG campaign is more an historical re-enactment, we already know who win and who lose = not competitive.

Great! Thanks We don`t need to win and fly team vs team. Missunderstanding here.

As Prancing said, you´d have to get on Teamspeak and have a discussion with the staff, in which they would probably have an internal meeting and decide. Joining in as a group has happened in the past, but a very long time ago and I´d doubt it would happen anytime soon. Mostly due to limitations for fitting people in due to the 84 player limit and performance of the campaign. In my opinion, with the little involvement i´ve had in campaign designing, an external group would have a better shot joining in as a ground attack/bomber unit as this is what is lacking a bit in the campaign.

Also, in the near future ACG is going to CLoD Tobruk, so that may or may not interest you or anyone else.

 

Joining as individuals shouldn´t be a problem, but you won´t be flying together with your compadres. Also, this is what I think would go down, and i do not speak for the staff in ACG who make the decisions.

Sure, we have specialist TeRReF that has created IL-2 Commander mode and makes our weekly internal combined arms missions with dynamic objectives, tanks, AI, etc. and he was full of praise for Kathon's campaign script. If he can build upon that script, I wonder what can be achieved. 

 

I can't speak for him as he's a busy man (and new supreme leader of SCG). Last time the split was 840 right? I'll let him know about your offer, maybe he has the time, thanks!

Absolutely and we will accept them. I, and I suppose other members are just expressing our opinion on how to make it better. What we can´t guarantee is if we will have the same amount of participation as in the past if the restrictions are too much. Time will tell .

Also what I said about joining as a bomber group is my opinion only, not the bosses final word. Only way to find out definitely is to join teamspeak and strike up a convo.

 

 I hope you notice a little nuance between TAW and ACG campaign. ACG campaign is a closed campaign with a huge amount of members in it´s ranks. We don´t need new squadrons and the community to join in to have a good time.

TAW on the other hand, requires it and we thank you for the huge efforts you have made in the past to make it better.

All jokes aside, If You want to see any he111 during this Taw, i'm afraid You must remove the 110s from ju88 line (the ju88s are very potent enough and You have in the same line a superb 110 so basicly 3 fast bombers in one line),otherwise tough luck seeing anyone taking 111 line...

 

Also it would be more fair

 for Red side, as in both bomber lines Reds have only 2 bombers as in ju88line as mentioned above You got 3 fast be bombers ( pe 2 line gets a bomber with max bomb load slightly smaller than 110s...)

My comrades are very unhappy that the option of not being able to remove the upper back armor plate, I can understand that very well, because this option can be removed at any time, takes a maximum of 5-10 minutes and is only attached with 3 screws. This option should be for everyone be free because it is a personal choice.

"The Spitfire had turned tight into me, and he had me good. Only the protective armor plate behind my head kept me from being killed by a 20mm. I used to inspect all of the aircraft, as some men would take this plate out. It reduced rearward visibility by about twenty percent, so they removed it. I ordered all the plates replaced, and I made it clear I would court-martial any man who disobeyed. Three more of my pilots had a similar experience, and they were believers."

- Johannes Steinhoff 

 

 and

 

Galland in his memoirs mentions he was very unhappy when this plate was installed, the extra weight reducing performance. The next day he went up with this unwanted ballast, and he got hit by a Spitfire. Some projectiles were stopped by the armour plate. Needless to say, he changed his opinion about the plate that day.

Steinhoff and Galland.

Please contact with them ASAP change the historical orders and then told theml to catch me on TS.

I never knew a picture with german language and a quote that's been posted in a forum without any quotation are good enough to call them historically accurate xDDD

[13/JG5_Ehrler]

You made the decision by doing a quick search on the forum with only two quotes of pilots and you think it must be historical? To be clear, I don't know any better about historically, maybe other guys here, but your way of proceeding sounds questionable. At least your arguing on comments about it. 

 

My last flight on ADW was a very long time ago. I´m looking forward to give a try on TAW.

To clarify, I did me reasearch via books, magazines and internet. Forum is a 2nd hand option. No worries.

 

I asked for support and recived historical data from many players, history fans from both sides.

Part of my conversation.

Regarding balance of planeset, Bf 109 F-4. The suggestion is to lock armored headrest for F-4 to a must-have. 
Reasoning:

1.Historical accuracy; As you probably know it was forbidden to remove the headrest. For example: Even Galland was denied permission to do so. Another: Steinoff threatened to court martial pilots that would try to remove it.

 

I can play this  "Historical accuracy game" - "I want this" and I`m using my "historical AMRAAMs" all day. 
Cool stuff.
Prepared myself well .

 

Si vis pacem para bellum.

1-0 so far

 

p.s.

Sorry, I`m out, need to finish new Manual.

 Yes you can see pictures with or without head armor on the net. And you read different books about it, so it was handled differently. In the end it remains a TAW decision whether you have to or a player decision whether you want to.
