All My SP Friends.Please Read 1 ~S~

Hi all !..I have flown MP in a few Sims. Probably 5% Online to 95% SP.
I have had some exciting moments Online !..But for me,here is what I Dont Like about MP.
 (1) I dont know whats Going on ! Is it just "Free For All" with a massive Furbal that Doesnt Simulate anything ? ..No Thanks!
 (2) STATS ! Some Guys (i wont call them Pilots) know how to Milk every Game ! They Play the Stats and not the Sim ! And they can Play however they like if thats how they     want to Play.....Until it Effects me !........Very Recently a Player Posted his Stats on a Forum. He was Bragging !...Out of All of his Sorties,He brought his plane home 30% of the time ! ...Ram,Disco doesnt matter to Him. He has lots of Credits to his name ..No thanks to that also !
 (3) Teamspeak/Chat . The amount of Drivel and Crap that goes on. Its not "The bombers are in Grid z heading west"!...Its "my wife is a Bitch,I dont like Him,I got a better Score etc etc !.. Shit talk that I dont want to listen to at the end of my day. ...No Thanks for that as well!
 (4) Time Constraints...One of the great things about SP is the "Pause" Button. If RL interupts,we can Pause.In MP we need more Time.(That cant be paused)...I have only have less than an hour to fly after my working day so for me it is QMB. I dont have time to join a Server and figure out Whats What !.

Before I go any further,I Think one of Pitfalls of Playing QMB is this:We contcentrate on Aircraft. We dont know where we are ! We dont even look at the map...We just want Combat.And we Try this Plane and that plane Over and over again !... But it is Not "Hitting" the spot !
OK my SP friends ! I want to reccomend  this Mp server to you !
(1) It has a moving Fronline ! Dont expect to take off where you did yesterday !It may have moved!
(2)I can pick an Airbase away from the Action.. Time to take off and see where I am ! I have only been attacked once whilst TO.It was a Big attack by 110s as I spawned. I can live with that.
 (3) NAVIGATION ! OMG ! Towns and therir shape.Rivers and thier bends!..Its Hard at first to find your way home .Dont even mention Combat !
 To all my Sp friends : GREAT Fun and Flying (and learning to Navigate) ?
 The server is DED Expert. I highly reccomend it !
Check"My" Stats out On DED.....No Kills but Great Flyin !
Comeon SP... try It ~S~

Think it called Random expert now, but I agree. It is a good server. My problem now is the placement of airbases. They are to close to each other and it is increasingly difficult to land when RTB. It is frustrating getting attacked by base campers . And they have arrived to this server too. Not that they are doing something wrong, but they focus their effort getting points not defending . I blame own fighters for doing the same. It has evolved to a expert WOL server when it is full. 

It is easy to navigate short distances, and it is fun. But there is a price to be payed. 

I have my eye on mud movers server right now, I was alone trying to attack some targets in a P 40 and had no chance at all. So I await more people so we can attack it together. I believe in measures like this, make AA VERY STRONG and people will not stay camping, they will cooperate, because it is the only thing working

This is one reason we are planning to implement our own statistics system for our server. The logic being that you need to "bring your kills home" in order for them to be counted in the stats

Thats the thing I loved about the old 1946. If you didnt land back at base, all those kills wouldnt count!

Good point... what would it matter if one shot down four enemy fighters a bomber or two, took out convoy and a train if you didn't survive the mission. You are dead.

If you really want to experience historical behaviour and war game not predictable join us tomorrow in FNBF 

 

This is the only place in BOX universe reality kicks in . It is fun , serious, laid back and full of very understanding people that will welcome you and help you along the way and we also lack pilots on both sides

Regarding stats, I have created my own log parsing. It's still an early WIP, but basically what it does is show what happened in the mission, namely when people took off, who killed what and where. More focus on the actions, less on the numbers. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/21919-il-2-mission-planner-online-flight-planning-tool-il2missionp/?p=396392

 

I also think that when multiplayer coop missions, we'll see a lot more servers running scenario-oriented missions. Deathmatch is fun too, and many servers today also include some sort of scenario, but I think it could be better.
