[III/JG52_Al-Azraq]

@J5_Wolff I think I disconnected on you, I want to apologise as this afternoon I had to abruptly disconnect from the server while I was in a furball as I had to head out home unexpectedly.

 

Sorry about that, sometimes life gets in the way. At least you got credited with my kill.

Why are we suddenly not getting points, for destroying buildings at the designated target?

Station and industrial at Utrecht, large factory buildings.

I will post the track file later. It also show the building, we hit in the previous brun, with same nill point result.

My apologies to the Kemvilon pilot.

Here's what it looked like from my side

The question is: how to identify an allied aircraft if crosses are drawn on it?

Without the C-47 currently available, and the Allies having to use the Ju-52 for paratrooper sorties, this is a bit of a tough one.

 

Here's a few tips that might help:  

 

1) Allied pilots will often take extra risk by using the bright red paint to make it clear what side they are.

 

2) If the drop plane has a gunner station option on the top... you might have to wait and see if it shoots at you.   

 

3) Look to see what direction the Ju-52 is heading.  If it's making a beeline for the red smoke and the ground positions around the red smoke are not firing at it, then chances are it's friendly.  (Keep in mind the nearby ground guns could be destroyed however.)

 

4) There's no reason (at least that I can think of) that Ju-52s can do anything functional on the enemy side of the map.  If the Ju-52 is somewhat deep into friendly territory and heading toward the frontline, there's a very high chance it's friendly.

Hello,  

 

I looked at the server settings information and see that TacView recording is enabled.  I've heard that this allows TacView to be used as a second screen radar.  Is this true?

Track recording is allowed. TacView shouldn’t be. It’s likely a bug if it shows as enabled.

Same again last night on same target at Utrecht. 

[Charlo-VR]

In mission 12721 several cities' buildings were not rendered, and there were trees scattered over the layout of the  cities. The missing cities included Venlo, Duisburg, Deurne, Venray, and Eindhoven. The airfield buildings at Eindhoven were also not rendered.

 

It was a challenge navigating a bomber without the cities as landmarks, had to rely only on bodies of water and forest shapes.

We have a logic that removes "scenery" blocks from areas that are outside the mission target area. Were you flying round the target areas?

I took a cautious bomber route to (successfully) avoid detection, but I don’t think it was too far out of the way. That was the first time I had experienced this issue with scenery blocks being removed.

[JG4_Qetzalcoatl]

Is there something new with the planeset? We have planeset 4 in the moment and we met P-47D-28? What did I miss? Was there a rework of the planeset?

Is this something you guys changed recently?  I only noticed the missing towns right after the latest game update so I thought that it was a game issue.

Bumped the P-47 to set 4 two days ago. Need to update planeset pic on the stats site.

This has been in use some time already. It's likely more visible on the Rheinland map.

Great night last night! Thanks for turning this sim to arcade. Special thanks to JV44 squad. I will go play fortnite now.. bb

 What have I done this time?  Oh I see, the whole taking a tank to an airfield thing. 

 

Ehhh, the only reason I don’t bother doing it is because it’s too long a drive.  
 

I prefer player tank vs player tank.  And I also try to work the front lines while I’m at it. 

 

I know it’s frustrating but surely it’s easy enough to change base and then fly back and blow him up.  
 

Be the hero - not the victim.  You’ll enjoy the game a lot more that way.

Thanks for your reply. What was the reason for this change. For my opinion the planeset 4 was well balanced before. With the great variety of allied planes against the 2 main lines of german planes (109/190) it is a great challenge to fly from a tactical viewpoint and now it isn´t really easier....?

Didnt the Admins wont, that the Blues win a Card?

Clearly it's Allied bias, just check what me and Temuri fly mostly ... The sets are balanced, the number of flight/sortie hours are balanced. What is different, is that new players (which there are quite a lot) tend to lean to the Axis side, because of easier engine management etc. And they also tend to fly fighters, which don't advance the goals of the team very much.

[1./JG42flesch]

German AAA on Allied Side-balanced

Planset 1: 2x Blue Fighter vs 4x Red Fighter- balanced

Planset 2: 3x Blue Fighter vs 6x Red Fighter- balanced

Planset 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on are  the same,- balanced

Planset 8. 2x Me 262 vs neverendless Tempest- balanced

2x Tiger/Panther VS 10x Heavy Red Tanks- balanced

Your Balancing is a Joke!

Well, the only sortie I did with an i-16 resulted in forcing 2 109 F4s to disengage and go home (hit 1 - killed neither) so, I AGREE.  TOTALLY OP ALLIES!  ?

your talking about fighters, hes teling you axis dont bomb as mutch as thy should... but it dosent realy mather... maybe they are afraid as allieds have more fighter types in set...dont think its AI gunners as they suck on both sides... if its my choice i would just run 1-2 months axis and allieds have no limits on airplanes/bombs, and all tanks are avialable from set 1, no limits... and se what would happend, to end this debate about axis would win if only they had more fighters. 

 

I c Axis win march 22 war, planeset was same, it must have ben a fluke or administrative error

Edited May 23, 2022 by CountZero

[ITAF_Cymao]

They can both be right. But everything can be improved.

In any case even with a perfect planeset if nobody uses the bombers will never win.

This could also be caused by the fact that it seems the big german bombs are less effective and do much less damage than once...

We then add that the targets on the ground are not seen well and almost for nothing from a certain height.

These two things also affect more than the ease of use of german fighters.

So everything takes place on the ground where perhaps the Russians are more advantaged. (my personal opinion)

And then the AAA is useless and it becomes too easy to attack the targets on the ground, for everyone.

Maybe something could be done here.

 

S!

PS sorry for my bad English

[Hints]

It also could be that there is always some Allied fighter/s camping in the Allied depot, so it's quite suiciding to make a bombing runs.

Never saw a Axis fighters covering their depots with fighters.
Just hopping into the fighter,  straight to the front line, die fast, and taking the next new fighter- repeat. ?

As a lone bomber, yes.

[69th_Mobile_BBQ]

If Axis players group up, add a bomb to their fighters (jabo) and bring along 2 or 3 110s, you have to spot them from very far away from the target and try to organize a defense.  Otherwise, they're almost unstoppable and can wipe out targets very quickly.  Front depots die in the first 20 minutes of a mission to this tactic quite often.

But thats also true for the red side... a couple of a20s are able to obliterate any target, and if you are on a late scenario you dont even need bombers, 38's and 47's are more than capable of doing that.

...And if those A20s, 38s and 47s do anything other than "one pass, haul ass" and linger over the target instead, one or two 109s can wipe out the whole group.  Meanwhile, an Axis group can circle the target while picking individual shots at will and defend against whoever shows up to try to stop them.

But then again, thats also true for blue side... if those 110s you mentioned linger over target they also will be shot down by any fighter that shows up... ?

Unless ofc if that 110s is piloted by xJammer, but then he wouldnt be bombing in it...

Seen it first hand too many times with both A20s and fighter bombers getting obliterated if they stay over target AND Allied defenders getting obliterated as 110s and jabos linger over target taking their sweet time....  so...  totally disagree.

Some weeks ago I praised the server because the good visibility of some targets… The front depots are really good because before they was always invincible.. Most rear depots also can good see.. but one kind of rear depots is almost invincible… it’s a mix with dugouts and barracks surrounded with fences…. Most inside this target is complete invincible from high alt.
