I am not sure if this is just FVP but it seems like it.

However, it seems to be almost unplayable due to other players’ planes rapidly rubberbanding back and forth in very short distances so hard that I cant even see the Ally or Axis symbol on their plane when right next to them.

 

Well, that sounds like lag, meaning the data packet ping time between you and the server is more than 100ms. (depends on the game on what point you start to notice it). You are physically located in the USA I assume? (which is a long way away from our Finnieland). You could always try to run a Speedtest.net against a server here in the Finland (Oulu has the nearest to the FVP) and find out your approximate ping.

Hello,

 

Will the placeholder Ju52s on Allied side be replaced with C-47s soon so we can use them?

 

Many thanks.

Yes. Available on next RPS rotation.

[LLv34_Temuri]

Note that the C-47 supply will bring only 10 planes. This will change after we've updated the campaign app.

Also the StuG is now in the server's tank rotation. Placed it in set 2 onwards.

Just finished 3 C-47A airfield supply runs on the server - thank you so much I had wanted to do this ever since they announced it ^^

[JG4_Moltke1871]

Is it possible implement supply ground starts? Maybe from a supply and bomber airfield in the rear? Handle beautiful Ju52‘s and C47‘s with airstarts only is unsatisfying and steals a lot of Charme this aircrafts have.

Yes please!  I was thinking just the same.  I would love to fly a proper full mission including takeoff.

 

Happy landings,

If this some day can be implemented,  even for fighters and escorts will be motivating. Protecting cargo planes and those who fly 52s and C47s recieve some reward for survive the mission.

Totally agree.  Not only that, since the Supply / Bomber airstarts are suppoded to 'simulate' long-range bombers and supply plane coming from somewhere beyond the edge of the map, I believe that all airspawns should be limited to not going beyond 30km from the edge of the map for each side.

Having an unlimited number of supply planes that sometimes spawn 10km from the airfield(s) that need supply the most or unlimited bombers that sometimes spawn 10km from the frontline for endless convenient 5-minute bombing sorties is a bit of a breaker.

Hi! How can I find out if my drop of paratroopers from the C- 47 was successful? I started dropping paratroopers over the smoke, but I didn't see any messages on the server or in the statistics

If the drop was successful, there should be a chat message displayed. There currently isn't any way to connect the drops to specific players, so they aren't visible in the stats.

Hello to the Crowd

 

I'm kinda new to the MP scene (just two days so far) and flew this time on this server and I have to say it gives an outstanding feeling?.

 

Short question from the new one:

I cannot join the server now, even it's not to populated - I'll always fall back to the screen "cooperative / dogfight".

Did I get a ban and didn't noticed it? If so my appologize but I didn't thought doing something wrong?‍♂️

When this happens, delete the files under data/Multiplayer/moscowwb folder, and restart the game. If the issue still persists, the server may need a restart.

[easterling77]

thx for the advise.. will check it next time, for today my time is over but I'm happy to have a possible solution

Thank you?

 

 

EDIT:

 

I was to curious about it and did as you @LLv34_Temuriadvised - it worked? Thanks a lot

After years of SP only, I may dare some more steps into MP in the future...completely different and awesome feeling with real people

With some players it happens more and more often that they disconnect as soon as they are engaged, they don't risk their streak and you can't have your victory.

It is always the same 3 who have this unfair behavior.

I know there is nothing to be done, and I don't care about exposing these unfair players.

Let them enjoy their false glory evidently they have nothing else.

Fortunately there is karma? and I will enjoy making more videos ?

Very funny you should say this and post a video about it..

Dear Rhync0(.............................................................jonito),

you are a true genius, genius like Leonardo da Vinci, genius like Albert Einstein, genius like Stephen Hawking.

But even more, much more, you are a genius like dr. Frederick von Frankenstein.

And I feel honored and excited that a genius like you took the time to look at my stats.

You honor me, thank you!

If, even with my bad English, a genius like you doesn't understand what I'm talking about, it's totally useless to explain it to you.

I surrender.

 

Hey Rhync0 the genius for the next time go to the pilot stats page with all the stats, sorties, deaths, disconnections, etc etc and you will have a total view and then maybe you can read the sortie logs and maybe understand what happened, which for a genius like you it will be very easy.

 

Spoiler for non-geniuses like me: connection troubles!

 

But instead explain to us genius, what is the reason for your disconnections?

Did you have to run to the toilet?? ?

 

S!

Will smoke mortars be unlocked in Panzers?

In previous topics we wondered why the 20mm was removed from the Bf190 F2 but nobody answered us.

What if other aircrafts also had changes like the Bf109 F2?

Thx

 

S!

[69th_Mobile_BBQ]

Since Axis gets a full suite of ground attackers, the weakest of which (the 110) can still rival the A20 for damage output + dogfight alot better, the 2 fastest fighters (critical speed) in the game AND JETS ( Ar 234 gets 20mm cannons though only 1 maybe ever saw combat)  by plane set #8, why can't we have the Yak 1.b and Yak 9's anymore?  These were in service until the end of the war (including MiG-3) and frankly, if it's all going to be a meme show by that planes set, I want to fly stuff I find fun to fly.  

 

BTW...  Why was the 20mm removed from the 109 F2?  It's not like it makes it .0000001 step away from becoming a 109 F4 or anything. ?

Seriously though. Certain aspects of these plane sets apparently don't give a crap about history or balance so please give Axis back their gun and give us  Yaks 1.b, 9, 9T, in plane set #8.

If you want to remove the 20mm from the Arado that's fine for me, but give us back the 20mm from the BF109 F2.

I think the understandable attempt to maintain balance across the various planetets actually leads to an imbalance that ultimately disfavors one side.

We want to equalize a presumed superiority but obtaining an opposite superiority.

Just look at the planesets is the thing I say is self-evident.

And not to mention the tanks, the Germans have limited Panthers and Tigers in all sets, the Russians have less important limitations.

 

But in the end to the question "why was the 20mm removed from the Bf109 F2?" nobody answered.

A change was made without announcing or giving reasons.

It would be nice to have an explanation.

 

S!

ps And then it would be time to hit the cheaters who quit the game so they have the tank safe so as not to affect the dynamic progress of the campaign, as well as being an incorrect behavior towards the other players.

And I think it wouldn't be that hard to do.

Yeah, I'm fine with the F2 having the 20mm.  I don't think it increases its lethality by much anyway. 

I don't care much for the VulchRado234 having the 20mm.  It's extremely hard to visual spot on the deck and is fast enough that there's very little warning before it attacks. 

Afterward, it's almost impossible to catch as its regular cruise speed is only a little slower than a P-51's critical speed.

 

Mainly, I just want the Yaks put back in plane set #8.  If we're going to be dealing with jet memes, D9s, K4s and 410 gunners, I want to at least fly planes I enjoy flying while we spend 48 hours of "can't really do shit to stop Axis as long as Axis isn't all rookies that day", then rotate to set #1 which is "can't really do shit to stop Axis because 'history".  At least for set #8..  C'mon Finnwerks, throw us a bone here!

 

I don't tank often but, I advocate for a timer delay for disconnecting.  Maybe not for simply finishing a mission because of temp field strafing and rules for parachuters acting as spotters but, maybe 20-30 seconds of wait time for disconnecting while in-mission.  I don't know how that works for players willing to physically pull the plug on their internet connection to escape but, I agree disco bois could use a bit of getting smacked by some server enforcement.

Strange, in the last set 2 I was killed by a Hurry that mounted 4x20mm.

Maybe he didn't know that he didn't have the 4x20mm locked.

Or maybe the report is wrong.

 

 

Thank you for the reply

Well hell, if that's how plane sets are being decided these days, way to cave-in.  I'm proud of you.

I'd almost prefer if you came out and said, "we get more donations from player group A vs. player group B. Therefore, we gotta keep our bread buttered."

[ITAF_Cymao]

13 hours ago, LLv34_Temuri said:

So the reason for removing the 20mm Bf109-F2 was because you had to remove the 4x20mm from the Hurry, but did the Hurry continue to have the 4x20mm for 2 full rounds of set2?

Or did the reds complain and you removed the 20mm from the 109 F2 and then later balanced with the 4x20mm from the Hurry?

 

So in set 2 we have Bf109 E7 and Macchi with the 20mm, Bf109 F2 with the 15mm and then LaGG with the 20mm or 23mm, I16 with the 20mm, Yak with the 20mm and Mig with the 20mm.

Is that right or are there some restrictions?

And the Hurricane without the 4x20mm but with the 2x20mm? Or is that modification also locked?

 

If that's the case, it's a strange way of balancing.

 

S!

I was initially thinking not having the 20mm for the F-2, but did not do that.

After I removing the 20mm from the F-2, I removed the 4 x 20mm from the Hurri to balance it.

This has to do with the FM changes of the 109s.

 

To be honest, I'm quite fed up with the never-ending complaints about plane sets. It seems nothing is good for everyone. I just might go via "planes per DLC" way.

I understand what you are saying because I have lived them and I apologize if I have been argumentative.

My intention was only to highlight the absurdity (in my opinion) of a choice designed to balance but which actually unbalances heavily.

The problem aside from us complaining is that there are too many planes and getting everyone into 8 sets I don't know if it works.

Perhaps there should be more sets to dilute the entry into service of the various aircraft.

Then as I've always said the planesets don't affect the campaign, but the way you play it regardless of planes and tanks.

 

Thank you for answering me.

Hi Temuri.  I noticed this "new look" to the Sortie Logs.  What does "ram: False" mean?  Are you tracking those that ram?  If so thats cool.  It happens way too much.

Ah, that's not intentional (I've pinged temuri to restore that page to how it should look).

 

Yeah, the stats system currently tries to find rams, but it's not perfect - it seems to not find most rams - and I want to try and improve it in the near future.

On behalf of at least 99% of the gamers who frequent this server we realy appreciate what you have done and cotinuing to do . No matter what you try to do someone will always complain its human nature any family man will tell you this. Keep up the great work guys

Great server.. Great guys but please do not forget to add turbulence.. it add realism a lot .. thanks 

 

Edited December 19, 2022 by GOZR

Airstart the Arado.  Or limit it less.  Allied aircraft can catch it - to utilize it's speed means under-loading it - and it climbs terribly slow.  It being ground start AND limited is a bit overkill.  Especially considering that it can be caught, and it cannot even defend itself.  (Even with gunpods, there's no gunsight, and a very short clip - and almost no visibility behind you save a limited periscope which doesn't help SA).  

It's a fun bomber, but the limitations make it one of the most ineffective, inefficient and wasteful endeavors on the server.   It'd be like limiting the A20 in the first few sets for being as fast and manueverable as it is.   Doesn't make sense, right?

There is turbulence.  It generates randomly with each mission period.  Perhaps you played during a mission period where things were calm.
