Hello ,

 

What's wrong witht the server. Only naval battles from 4' o this afternoon.

 

The front is strangly moving and at the end only a BIG dogfight ...?

Frontline is in a situation where it’s very likely to produce only naval battles.

[CCG_Pips]

Huuummm.........

Strange how these naval battles repeated so many times (never seen before) helped the blue camp to maintain the front on the Kuban while they were going to be thrown into the sea.

 

Nothing else to say

[LLv34_Temuri]

Since Sturmovikfest is returning to the server this evening (and the battle at Kuban being in a tricky situation), we decided to put the Stalingrad map running.

Good idea because on Kuban map, map and stats were completely discrodant (on last mission)

[CCG_Pips]

Ok, now on Stalingrad map. Good to change of map...

 

1/ Seems that Heavy AA from Air bases is firing on ground targets such as Tanks. Can you confirm? iIt is not a bug?

 

2/ Again, like in last Kuban map mission, seems that some troubles with stats:

 

 

 

At the same time, having a look on stat :

 

 

So mission is still running until the final hour without any interest.

Not a bug. It’s to prevent spawn camping by tanks.

Need to check.

[CCG_Pips]

Ok for AA Air bases. I was driving at about 4 - 5 kms when a heavy gun shooted me. Iw as not looking to attack the air base....

 

By the way , same for Depots or not ?

My first vid for SvAF, yesterday on FVP with the tovarischi, bombing run and chase, in celebration of the 1st of May ?

 

[SvAF/F16_Goblin]

I must apologize for shooting down a friendly Ju 52 last night.
Had no clue that there was allies flying in Ju 52 with German markings and since I'm in VR the chat is somewhat cumbersome (read impossible to use).

Now that I'm aware it's pretty obvious since the German markings is seen when viewing the plane set on the airfield.
I really hope that a Russian transport is added so these mistakes can be avoided.

Once again, really sorry for that to whomever was the victim of my mistake.

[Ribbon]

I hope this map won't stay long, visibility is terrible on it due to messed up plane LoD's.....and in general map is meeh??.

But it could be worse, it could be winter map ?

Moscow map (autumn) is way better, kind of miss it on Finnish server, hehe remembered old motti logic!

 

Would be cool if in future after every allied/axis victory map changes:

-Moscow (autumn)

-Kuban (spring/summer)

-Rheinland (spring/summer)

-Channel map (spring/summer)

 

(Temuri and Untamo should quit their real life jobs and make this maps so we can enjoy??)

Prokhorovka is coming next. Then most likely Moscow.

I love Kuban map and was very pleased when it came on VP....but I've realised I see **** on that map and for me Stalingrad was much more better in terms of visibility. Prokhorovka should be interesting, never flown there even with owning TC.

Good job Temuri and Untamo for offering us continuous fun on the server, your work is highly appreciated

Let's hope after new rendering tech in next patch we won't have to wait long for visibility fix!

After each map victory switching to different map would be refreshing!

Has happened to me - flying a Red Ju52 in paradrops or supply ( it wasn't me you shot down, I wasn't playing yesterday)

 

After the first few times in German markings, I always now wear the default in-game Red Cross 'Ambulance' skin. It's still a Ju52, but at least it's got some red markings, and seems to work a bit better. I've seen other Red Ju52s in Red Cross - the practice could maybe be adopted a bit wider as a temporay measure until C47/Li-2 is developed.

 

Bear in mind that a single Ju52 can supply 20 new aircraft to a base - acknowledged by grateful flyers in chat

Correction: 20 new aircraft, not 10...

We want to have a system where map changes automatically after map win, but that's still under specification

Prokhorovka map is most demanding for server and users, on WoL they had to remove missions with that map after constant complains about big FPS drops and frezes, and its smal area to play on, you would have to have realy small amount of units on it to be playable in any good numbers.

Ok, maybe I run a test on test server with the current level of implementation of the Prokhorovka map to see how heavy it would be.

May be because only Prokhorovka is the map with 4K textures for tank battles?

Also hight of terrain is mutch more detail.

[HunDread]

I'm not sure I recall correctly but isn't there an "old" Prokhorovka map and and a new one which is just part of the old and bumped up with more objects and textures for the official tank game?

 

So if VP is planning the old standard map, we should be fine.

The terrain is one of the reasons I would like to run Prokhorovka. It’s not as flat as other maps.

Kuban south-east //mountain range//

#1sector: tank/vehicle convoys, artillery, bridges, depots

#2sector: naval battle

 

It sure will be unique experience for tankmans and pilots to fight between those hills, pinacle of il2 maps (kuban mountain range) not being used at all in SP or MP

the thing about that is, this area is small as fk. almost no airfields besides the coastal ones. and as the sectors advance, you move to more flat terrain either up north or further west.

There are coastal and northern (Maycop for example) airfields that follows the mountains so plenty of airfields.

If you take Kuban map from Anapa to Adler it's far from small and quite bigger than Prokhorovka, not whole map need to be used.

Map frontline moves as we have now, one coastal and one northern airfield per side in each mission with rear airfields while the battle/objectives are placed in mountain/hill area and on sea.

...

I was amased how good it loks when flying low, even small differances of few 10s m feal better then on any other map in game.

[LLv34_Temuri]

Main reason there are no battles in the mountainous area of the Kuban map is that there aren't "free areas" for the target groups, or the free areas are high up in the mountains.

I would like to report player =SA=Semz for intentionally ramming my tank in a P-38. He kept doing attacks after attacks with his guns and later decided to just ram me.

Generally, we would like to have more than just the stats page sorties for the info.

 

@=SA=Semz Don't be doing that again. Rules clearly say no ramming.
