Open letter to Blackhart

 

Please let me explain myself. 

The message that I wrote when i replied to Fenris was ironic humor.

Understand. 

 

I hope You understood too that namecalling someone on public who is not Your close friend and not giving even a simple small sign it's a joke will be treated as something offensive.

I'm taking back my request to Kathon to ban You from the project after your post.

Have fun and enjoy our hard work in this season, leave constructive critic when it ends.

Salut!

 

 

And for all.

I don't know what was in the TAW before, but now there is no difference between namecalling someone on game chat, forum or discord. 

Warn, ban or immediate ban will remove trouble makers and people who don't respect each other. 

 

It doesn't matter if You are from Poland, Croatia, Czechia, Russia, USA, Germany, Italy, etc.

 

In this project we play in two teams without any politics or ideology.

We as a team do not support any totalitary regime or ideology.

If someone is mixing history with this game, have personal problems, call other players in offensive way because they play on red or blue side he should leave our community.

If he will stay and try to make problems we will help with pleasure and escort to the main gate.

 

Report on Discord prt screens or tracks if someone used vulgar words or called You badly. 

 

25.04.2021 we need to make huge brief, Q&A and do some big missions (at least 30vs30 )with many players to check the server on huge stress.

 

Guys & girlz!

Manual is after eng correction.

Planeset is ready.

Can I count on Your presence&help

?

 

Whoever didnt registered now can still do it by pm on Discord

Just for clarification, do we register on the Discord for the campaign when it starts, or do we register on the website as usual?

Hello. I wrote to you in Discord. If possible, then: Bark, Allies, Boston or Peshka.

[Blakhart]

Last phase of tests(like I mentioned on forum)-->
 

15.00 short brief at TeamSpeak. 
We will announce when and how we plan official launch of first season of  Tactical Air War 2.0 "No mercy", how the registration process will look like and what changes you can expect.
Server works and is reloaded.
1st map is loaded.
Your registered accounts works!

If someone need to register call one of LG
Website is not working right now due to maintenance .

15.30 GMT we start last phase of beta tests. 
I'ts extremely important to populate the server as much as we can to achieve standard front line conditions and check:
- how much points can collect players under enemy pressure
- how new fixed weather works
- how AAA is working
- how fast groups can kill tank column / defence line
- how hard is to collect advance plane and if average player can do it in 4-8 missions
- how red vs blue plane-set balance works on 1st,2nd and 3rd map
- how current changes works and if we will have any major failures 

 

If you expect any improvements gave us a good data to analyse and reports from missions or don't complain later.
Call your buddies, come in great numbers, attack the targets at least with 3-4 planes.
If we will not have enough statistics to analyse it now, current settings will stay till the end of the war.

I can't even get that far, the password I was given doesn't work for the server or TS and I don't appear to need it to get on the website anymore...

 

...any help would be appreciated.

 

Update; never mind, after posting this I thought I would give it another try and bingo I'm in. Ping was pretty wild though for a bit it reached over 600

 

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

 

Spoke too soon, after many tries I only manage to get the map to load once and it wasn't long enough to select a base before being disconnected. The ping was fluctuating wildly from 24 to 360 and higher. Could be at my end, probably is even although Paris area was super fast and solid always, in the last year of madness it seems to have been watered down...I don't know. Gonna try again tomorrow.

We plan to finish test stage this sunday 02.05.2021.

Last tweaks in progress. 

 

Tests brought plenty of interesring results, those who track discord text channels know what I'm talking about.

What is more I'll try to prepare few short videos with some Q&A and short explanation about upcoming changes on my unproffesional and boring YouTube channel.

Feel free to subscribe to hace access to stream/Q&A videos:

Thanks to testers feedback we were able recognize few problems.
Our main admin Kathon is working on those which we can implement in TAW code.

Wait for the update.
Today we will also test I-16 vs Emil 7B and maybe other pairs from Basic planeset.
If you want to join and help testing, catch me on TS today.

Really excited about 2.0 !  I am looking forward to playing Red attacker/bomber . I don’t belong to a squad and play at irregular hours. I am hoping communication is better and that when a squad goes on a mission they invite non members to come along.

Join TAW TS3. Everyone is welcome there

 

[Blakhart]

Beta tests finished

Data taken from server statistics
During the test stage:
- average red player was able to collect 3.1 CP per mission
- average blue player was able to collect 2.8 CP per mission

Thanks to all reports, statistics and suggestions we made last changes:

Stats
- inactive players will be removed from the statistics until they will come back to combat duty and collect gk/ak
- top 5 counted by max total streak, not alive - legends will live forever ;]
AAA
- AAA level raised - but we still have something in the pocket - some small update for defence lines, depots and airbases planned 

Combat points 
- CP are collected to ADV planes ONLY 
- 30 CP needed to unlock 1 plane
- ditch/crash/bail out - half of CP from this mission  (  0.5 = 1)
- 1 CP for "escort/patrol missions" - which last at least 60 minutes ( 1h)
- 1 CP per 1 assist
- 1 CP in case of being hit/wounded by enemy plane 

Ditch
In case of heavy damage during the ditch plane might be impossible to repair and its totally lost. New Basic plane will come in standard way, but now teams might run out of planes faster in case of reckless flying and ditching without the reason.

Scramble warning
Ground units can warn own air forces whenever enemy plane is in the range when it could be spotted.
Quicker call for support in case of attack.
Strategic objects like depots have bigger range of warning posts to allow own fighters to have more time to scramble. 
Airbases warning posts ( in progress) 

Re-worked dynamic weather.
Weather is more realistic. More few level clouds & high alt overcast. 

Re worked logic of ground units and front line
More realistic attacks and concentration of troops.

Planeset
Map 1 & 2 Basic MiG 1/1+1
Map 2 Bf-109 F-2 early "with 20mm" available

 

Limited registration starts tommorow!

Personally I would like to say thanks for all the guys who helped with historical data, argued with me on pm or Discord, made positive and negative comments, wrote reports and presented effort to make this season better.
We don't need to agree always but it's good we talk and can find golden middle 
Everyone who took active part and answered my calls for feedback will be registered  out of queue by me.
I have a good memory and know how to return the favour for those who helped me

2 players can expect immediate ban after campaign start
1st for using cheats during the TAW season
2nd for name calling on the forum
This is No mercy edition in every aspect.

Wednsday 19.00 GMT  TAW TS3- Main brief for everyone
If you cant attend there will be live stream on my channel

- presentation of the manual and planeset
- after brief registration starts

So here we are at the end and the begin.

At this point I would like to mention all those great people who helped me and our crew to build this season. Some of them gave us small tips, some many great advices. 
There was also some tension, critic and frustration on both sides.

@=LG=Kathon, thanks for our night talks and never ending emails about the script ?
I`m still suprised you didnt blew up when I was asking you again and again about new features and trying to fulfill my dirty TAW dreams.
@=LG=todeskvlt , thanks for amazing job with the webiste, graphics and being the voice of reason when my imgaination was flying too high. Good to have you in our team.
@=LG/Dev=Skyman_, thanks for your hard work and all the machinery which is deep inside the website and we can enjoy so much new features. All those years I can count on your talent and cool ideas.

Special thanks for people who answered on my call when I asked for help with the historical data about the planeset.
@ACG_daHeld @-=RedS=-Str1ke @72AG_SerWolf @72AG_lnf @72AG_Grizli60rus @72AG_TARANTUL @SCG_Wulfe @SCG_Fenris_Wolf @JG4_Widukind @E69_geramos109 @ flyus747 @Ham_von_Boom @=L/R=Rafcio @7.GShAP/Silas@=TH=Max16 @BlackSix @LukeFF ... and maybe someone else if I forgot to mention ;]

Salute to all testers who were helping us check if our predicted settings gonna work and bring good effects.
Thanks for the reports and good critic. 

Thanks for all the people who support us on forum, discord and with donations, thanks to them the server is still runing after all those years since 2016. 

Last but not least
Thanks to all my teammates from LuftGangsta, who were building the TAW before, making maps, working on planeset, helping with other important things, especially @=LG=Padre , @=LG=Leutnant_Artur, @=LG=Piciu.
We wouldnt be here at this point without their energy and effort which was building the quality and brand of TAW. 
Special thanks to my best wingman and real friend @=LG=Flogger, without all those hours spent together on building il2 projects, campaigns, events and battles which we fought together I wouldnt have enough experience to create this system and present changes.

Registration is open and we start 15 GMT today ( s oin 5 minutes) like it was mentioned in the brief !

This is my last post connected with this season. We moved for good to Discord and don't want to maintain any contact with community on this forum.
I dont know who will be responsible for update in western front or the next eastern.

I did my job and I would like to focus on the game now, so  all the problems and bugs leave in correct discord text channel.
In case of new ideas use RCP.
If You dont know something, first read the manual 3 times before You start asking questions.
...and You can all check how it looks right now. With new tactical map, icons and stats the effect will be even better. 
I'm very happy and satisfied about the overall result and can't wait to analyse this season when it ends.

I can tell you one truth as a conclusion.

Diamonds are made under huge pressure.
I hope we are creating a new one
 

[FTC_DerSheriff]

I think the imbalance measurement could be a bit more lenient on sign up. The current player balance is fine but no one can sign up for blue. Saying this while wanting to fly for red anyway.

Creo que la medición del desequilibrio podría ser un poco más indulgente al registrarse. El saldo actual del jugador está bien, pero nadie puede inscribirse en azul. Diciendo esto mientras quería volar por el rojo de todos modos.

[KG_S_Kalle_Kalutz82]

How to sign up for one side in registration, if its overbalanced.

Since 30 minutes both sides and already registered players are increasing after each page refreshing.

But you can not join blue for the moment.

Still increasing.

 You can make some fake/empty accounts on the other side. Easy job!

Open Letter = LG = Blakhart
I want to clarify one thing. In this post, I didn't mean anyone by calling them idiots. The very topic of the "discussion" about the Communists and Katyn turned into rude accusations against my country. The meaning of my message was as follows: “It seems that everyone has already discussed and all are united. However, there are those who continue the Katyn theme, violating the topic of communication about the TAW project ”. I was not going to deliberately offend anyone. I don’t think people talking about Katyn are idiots. But I am also against libelous accusations against my country. I propose to close this incident. And if someone has offended. I apologize.

P / S Sorry for "my" english

[JG7_X-Man]

@=LG=Blakhart I must say the new plane set is exactly what I had been requesting for awhile! Thanks for finally implementing this into the game!

There is no universal gain to automatically give everyone a particular collectors aircraft as an upgrade if everyone doesn't have it.  Awesome job in finding away to fix that issue.

 

[WokeUpDead]

So far so good, but I anticipate that people will get quite discouraged at losing ALL their advanced planes if they die even in their basic plane.

[JV44Midnightoker]

Its feeling really fucking grindy. The only way to get a good amount of CP is ground attack and the AA is merciless. Perhaps a lower CP threshold to ADV planes? or losing the plane you lose not everything you earned and the rank? 

[=19GvFAB=Vlad-Executor]

Anti-tank gun as a new type of air defense on the blue side

 

[335th_GRphgeorg]

Is it my feeling or there is a total unbalance of powers? Especially in this first round. If the Blues cannot advance to ADV planes (Bf-109F2) it seems almost impossible to win any map. And most of the time (European zone) the reds are almost double in number.

There’s rarely balance during North American time zones as well, but it goes both ways. I made accounts on both sides and try to fly on the smaller side, but that sometimes feels weird.

Just a feeling I'd say as it's balanced to within an AA gun of it's existence ?

 

Numbers vary throughout the day and night, but the server has always had a built in balance feature to even things out, they have been very particular about that and as far I can say done a good job of it.

 

I'm flying Red and signed up for the Pe-2 as it looked to be consistently available end to end of the campaign. However I have to get an IL2 before I get to the Pe-2 and to do that I have to fly ground attack in an I-16 or MiG-3, later LAGG-3 which is nigh on suicidal.

 

Not impossible though and I'll chip away at it even though it's unlikely that I'll survive the IL-2 if I manage to get one
