any clans/ groups in Australia - NZ timezone?

[silent_one]

Im looking for any groups playing in a similar timezone to myself in New Zealand. anyone know of any friendly groups to join?

[Firestorm07]

There's a few of us hanging around in the official BOS Teamspeak channels on Thursday and Sunday nights around 2030 AEST onwards.  We tend to fly Wings of Liberty, come join us.

Here seems to be quite a few Aussies and New Zelanders playing this game. Maybe y'all should get together and make a unit? I know I often run into them on TS so maybe a NA squad could work as well for you? It sucks that, with so few players on, people in Austrailia and New Zeland have a hard time find populated servers and decent pings.

There's a few Aussie based players here (I'm one). The key thing is WHERE to find them...and Firestorm is correct...jump into the official BOS TS channel (English) and say g'day! I'm usually on most nights from around 9pm AEST, usually in a JU88 or IL2.

Guys we are looking for a timing for NA and Aussie for the SNBF NA event. We want to bring more Pacific guys to the event.http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/20918-saturday-night-bombers-flight/?p=361906

 

For now we are looking for 21h30-22h00 (N-Y) http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

I only speak for myself as a father of two great kids who hardly sees them during the week - I can rarely fly after 7am AEST on a Sunday morning, I'm too busy playing Lego with them after breakfast!!

 

If anything, getting online at 5am would be easier because they'd still be asleep. So it would make it more possible for me personally to join you if you made it earlier, not later. I might be a special case though, even though most of the guys I fly with in our region are also dads... Just my 2c, I realise for you guys 1900 on a Saturday arvo is as early as you can feasibly gather.

 

Really appreciate you thinking of us down under!

Cheers.

Firestorm, there are some events at around 1500 EDT (every other week of SNBF, FNBF, the Thursday editions of the 4./JG 52 coop, the 6./ZG 26 missions on Wednesday and Sunday, and InWar on Friday/Saturday from July onwards). Probably not ideal of course, but it's one alternative.

 

If you know some time between 1200 and 2100 UTC when you can fly, let me know and I can join you, and perhaps bring some people from 216 SAD along as well

[Pharoah]

yeah thanks for thinking of us but I'm with Firestorm...Sunday mornings are when I normally go for a bike ride with my son. I'm usually ok most nights (after 8.30pm AEST) but obviously its ridiculous-o'clock in Europe at that time. What we really need is more pacific based players playing online at the same time (preferably on an aust based server). Having a local server is great - not just for pings, but locals tend to fly on local servers assuming the settings are fine. Anyway, I believe a lot of that is down to the devs and where they take IL2.

[FlyingNutcase]

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain having nothing much but sea, ice and frozen land north and south of us. Maybe someone needs to make an "IL2 NZ" Facebook page to help  populate a server in unison. :-)

20:30 AEST is half-past noon in most of Europe, that's doable during weekends at least

 

On weekends when SNBF is at US time we could set up a regular flying time for Europe and AU/NZ and neighbouring time zones.

 

Outside of that you have Russian players in the Eastern and Central parts of the country who can help populate the servers for you on a daily basis.
