JG1_Butzzell 440 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 ty I take it Red for Russian works for all Allied coalitions such as British or French? So players need to select Red Russian in their own settings because it is not a server or ME selection? Link to post Share on other sites
E69_Qpassa_VR 204 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Yes the classical option is that axis are blue and allies red, this comes from previous IL-2 franchise and for me is the one that makes more sense nowadays and as you said is a manual configuration on your side, make USSR red Link to post Share on other sites
-[HRAF]Blade18 7 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Hay Guys, sorry for an "IL-2 MP beginner" question: when I run out of ammo or gas, is my only option to land, exit and re-enter, or can I continue my mission uninterrupted, by rearming-refueling on the airfield? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

As for this very server I had that happen once with tanks, one guy I was communicating with spawned in a Sherman, I told him I was 300m North of spawnpoint, I see him driving past me asking where I was...turned out I was invisible for him... I have encountered this issue although rarely, not sure it's a server issue as it's most likely a code issue with multiplayer. Link to post Share on other sites

CCG_Pips 1123 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Noticed, these last days, more and more tankers fighting on the server !!!!😉 It is so nice to have now some real tanks battles and not only spawn attacks, depot attacks or campers waiting in hidden position that another tank comes to them. It is much more exciting to face ennemies and fight in a tank!!! much more exciting than in a plane.....if you miss your target, it will return a shell to you in the following seconds !!! Very happy !!!!😉 Many thanks to the owners of the server for the addition of tanks on the battles!!!!! Edited January 2 by CCG_Pips 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

There's also that if we'd go with the game's "default" coloring scheme, we'd need double amount of map icons. The netcode is fragile enough with enabling/disabling icons, so less icons is better. 11 hours ago, E69_Qpassa_VR said: I hit some Yak during this sortie, hits are being scored in the global of the sortie but not on the record (and I didn't get any kill participation) I posted a question about this on the stats system thread.

It's the same as in any server that uses Vaal's stats system: 1) calculate how many scores player earns per one life - score / (dead + capture) = SD 2) calculate how many scores player earns per one hour - score / flight time = SH 3) calculate rating by formula: (SD * SH * score) / 1000 Link to post Share on other sites
LLv34_Temuri 918 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Couple of things that come next mission rotation: - Free areas where the target groups are placed are mapped by script for the Kuban. That means a lot more possible areas to put those groups in, but also that groups overlap trees in some places, like the fields in Kuban. - Removed entities from target group block objects. Perhaps this will make the mission a bit lighter. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
=VARP=Ribbon 1102 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Hi Temuri and Untamo, glad to see server climbed on well deserved throne! Any idea how to avoid Allies shooting down friendly ju52 supply (2 in a hour last night), maybe asking devs to implement official skin with allied markings for ju52 until dc3 gets released (i can make it in high detail) or somehow scripting Po2 by your server side to be supply if speed is mandatory factor.

If this trial and error method means occational mission failure, well, boohoo. Look at the big picture where everybody wins with better campaigns and maps and forget some meaningless single mission.

III/JG52_Gunrall 6 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I can’t understand how front lines moves. It hasn’t sense. They can advance 30km doing nearly nothing. We destroyed front depots, they didn’t. We found and inmortal front line, it was totally destroyed but puts more 70%. If we destroy 3 of 4 depots and frontlines we only advance 3 or 10 km.

Heliopause 916 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Nice rainy map yesterday! One can sneek in undetected aftere navigating the long way tp a rear target. One bombrun and back home again. Very quiet, nothing about .... or? Recording showed a spit scanning the area right after I had bombed (he must have seen the notice that the target was attacked). He got close but I was able to fly out undetected ..... Fun game 😀 1 Link to post Share on other sites
No_Face 82 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Yesterday I tried to destroy the troops on the ground but it was impossible for me to destroy these trucks: I therefore could not achieve this objective. (unless there was something else to destroy but I don't think so) Otherwise, the leftmost spawn point for German tanks (which can be seen on the 2nd screenshot) is not optimal. Indeed, I appeared on a slope (not the best) and already damaged. Spawning us on level ground will solve both problems. Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, when a destroyed object is from you to the target, your shell explodes on the "invisible" part of the destoyed object. In the case of your screen, depending on the angle of fire, the "bunker" object is between you and your target. Link to post Share on other sites

III/JG52_Gunrall 6 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We straffed and bombed those trucks but they were indestructible, status of area shows a 70% but only 2 trucks were up. In next map, it happened too. Link to post Share on other sites
No_Face 82 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I wanted to check again. At this distance, impossible to miss, yet the truck remained intact. And since I am not the only one to have observed this phenomenon, there is therefore a problem. The same thing, having moved around a bit : Another problem I noticed was that I shot tanks and tank trucks that had an intact skin. After my shots they were on fire, their skin was black and broken. However, they did not appear in my statistics. Link to post Share on other sites
