[SYN_Haashashin]

Hi guys,

 

Since the Spitfire release, SYN_Vander and myself have been building missions for our squad for some "training". With the release of Kuban map, its a piece of art, I thought about sharing our "Coops" missions with the community. I will be updating the missions on first post as we build them.

 

So if you have dserver key (if not ask for one, they are free and JimTM manual covers all its need it to set it up) and some friends to fly you can grab one mission here and give it a go.

Thx Haashashin.

 

For how many players is it done ?

Thank you sir!

[SYN_Haashashin]

For how many players is it done ?

 

 

We did fly this one with only 3 people, but some objectives may take more. I will say its good for small groups (I know how big the french community is ) maybe from 3 to 8 or so. Will add this info to the description.

[Habu]

Thx Haash, we tried with 4 pilots in Pe2s87, and we attacked the destroyer group. 1 destroyer destroyed, 1 damaged. 1 pilot in the water, the other 3 land with one on one engine.

 

Do you know if there is collision with balloon ?

 

Could be cool if there is one airfield for the other side.

[RockRidge]

Thats a nice mission to play with - thanks for the upload.

 

If you have any more they would be equally appreciated

 

I will be playing online with this one tonight and hopefully adding more bad guys and other stuff to play with and test in MP in the near future.

 

Thanks again !

[SYN_Haashashin]

Never tried, will do and see.

It will means a total redo of the mission since this ones are to be fly with your squad vs AI...Too much on my plate as for now.

 

Haash

[BlitzPig_EL]

Thanks again, and thanks to RockRidge for getting it up and running for us on his server.

 

Much fun was had last night flying the missions.

 

The P40 makes for a very effective He-111 killer, that's for sure, and that Russian destroyer can be made combat ineffective by taking out it's guns, but how many bombs does it take to sink the bloody thing?   It's a destroyer, not a battleship for crying out loud.

 

Oh, and the barrage balloons seem to be indestructible.  I emptied nearly all the ammo from a Yak 1b into one with no effect.

Ok Haash. Thx.

[TP_Jacko]

Aaah old style coop just the way we like it. Do you used dead is dead to add that bit if extra tension ☺

[SYN_Haashashin]

Hi guys,

 

Two more mission will be posted later today. Well, one of them its an updated 04 mission .

 

Do you used dead is dead to add that bit if extra tension ☺

Jacko, we use this missions for training and playing around. Dead is dead is for more serious stuff, maybe a KoTS kind of event??

[SYN_Haashashin]

Took a look at it and you are right. The thing is that those ballons where meant only to be placed at Moscow city (where players cant fly) so it does not have a collision model or damage model.

 

that Russian destroyer can be made combat ineffective by taking out it's guns, but how many bombs does it take to sink the bloody thing?   It's a destroyer, not a battleship for crying out loud.

I saw in a topic that skip bombing is needed to sink it, well at least it did sink it by the looks of the pics.

 

Haash

 

[BlitzPig_EL]

I did skip bomb it, FAB 500 from the P40....

 

I'll have to work on that.

 

Interesting about the balloons too.   I was hoping they would brew up like the ones in RoF.

[RockRidge]

Hi guys,

 

Two more mission will be posted later today. Well, one of them its an updated 04 mission .

 

Excellent, I look forward to trying the new ones out

 

I went crazy last night and quadrupled the enemy AI on your original mission and 5+ of us took a pounding from them.  Good stuff.

 

Terrific performance as well given the ultra settings and the volume of AI and human players, no complaints of lag or stuttering.

 

[SYN_Haashashin]

Hi guys,

 

First post updated. Two new missions added, sorry for the delay.

 

- SYN_Coop 05: Its an updated version of 04. Added the cargo ships and move couple of things around.

- SYN_Coop 06: Same kind of mission than 05 with some objectives changes and set at the Kerch Strait. Added a dogfight zone.

 

From now on missions will be different, they will have a main objective and the rest will be oportunity ones (Marked on the map but without flying route to them.), this way we at the SYN can have a "story line" depending how we perform on Sundays .

I posted these to my squad................  LOL, before I read it being all VVS missions.................  In legacy IL2 you could play coops and the other planes would go with you if you had them on the runway, is it the same in BoX?

 

Hope you get a few with LW planes in it or as mentioned with two airfields............

 

Cheers

[SYN_Haashashin]

I think it was possible in RoF coops to do that. We will have to wait and see how the Coop Missions are implemented in BoX.

I might transform some missions, but the thing is that we fly VVS mostly due to inbalance, normally .

 

For the 2 airfields...maybe if we do an event or something...

I confirm for RoF.

 

Thx for the new missions.

[BlitzPig_EL]

Haash,

 

Thanks again for doing this.  We were flying tonight and having a blast at it.  It's good to be getting my skills (such as they are) back and having fun doing it.

 

 

Three BlitzPigs in the air...

 

WingN out front, RockRidge next and myself following in the Yak.   Off to give Jerry a hard time.

[katdog5]

This sounds so awesome. So officially we're still waiting on the official coop, this is just close to the old school il2 1946 coop? Sounds almost identical.

If it's like in RoF, yes it would be similare as the old IL2. The mission builder would have to set a plane for every player, and in game, you have to choose a slot.

[DD_Arthur]

Syndicate mission 05.  Dunno' who put the server up but I flew this last week.  I seem to remember there were about ten other people attacking the other targets.  No problems with warping or smoothness.  Good fun and works very well.

 

 

Got credited with two HE 111's and a Messer  

 

Nice one Hash!

[SYN_Haashashin]

Hi all,

 

First post updated with the link to the lastest mission: Attack the Harbour.

I have to say that with this one you will need at least 8 pilot so 2 or 3 can survive and get back

 

Nice clip Arthur,

i tried the coop mission 4 yesterday , that was very cool

thanks a lot for creating coop style missions!

 

i have a question regarding the big ship ... what planes/weapons need to be used to shutdown those big boats ?

thanks

You welcome Forza,

 

We use the P-40 and a 500kg bomb. With a good hit it will sink.

[SCU_Server]

Hi SYN_Haashasin

 

Im using your missions on my server and they are a big hit with the pilots on there thank you very much.

 

Is there any chance you can re create these missions with a flyable LW set of planes as attacking VVS planes to run along side these ones, I tried to swap out the VVS planes for LW myself but broke the spawning of the attcking planes by doing so.

 

Cheers Hotdognz

[[7e]Forza42]

@SYN_Haashashin

thanks! i m able to ''''sink''''' some ships :D

 

I have exactly the same request as SCU_Server! I like to fly He-111, JU-87, or the FW-190 ..... so, if it's possible to have the same missions from AXIS, it will be very great!! 

 

EDIT : I have add He-111 and JU-87 to the mission 5 an 6. It s not really realistic, but just for fun ..... also, set the water state to 3 and 4 and the cloud set to medium. If someone wants those update, i can share it.

RE-EDIT : @SYN_Haashashin, if you don't want that i share those modification, don't hesitate to tell me

[SYN_Haashashin]

Hi all,

Sorry for the late answer but RL comes first .

 

SCU_Server and Forza, I know what you mean but to do what you guys ask I have to redone the whole mission, changes will be mayor and time consuming. Sorry but I have a lot on my plate as of know so that will have to wait, low priority but...

 

If you have a group of people to fly with, you will like what Im gonna say now.

 

First post edited with a new mission: SYN_Coop 8a

This time around, my "teacher" (and to me the real "guru" of this ME), SYN_Vander, built a lil practice mission. 2 airfields, german and russian. All info needed is at the briefing.

Forza if you dont mind sharing the missions flying from the Axis side I would like them please.

[ESA_Overlord]

Many THANKS for your missions!!

[DD_Crash]

If/when you crash/get shot down can you respawn on the map or are you out of it until the next mission?

You can take another plane, its not DiD. You can do it DiD but its not built for that.

 

Haash

[DD_Crash]

Thanks for that info

[SYN_Vander]

Some more missions. IL2 with the Kuban map is such a great flight sim and I'm really having fun with building some scenario's.

 

The first one (#12) has several objectives you can try to achieve (with some surprises). The second one (#14a) is about defending the port/city of Kabardinka. Enemy bomber forces and tanks will come in waves, see if you can repel the attacks!

 

Map: Kuban

Player side: Russian, with some slots for German planes.

Mission type: MP Dogfight, but to be used as PvE.

 

I will build further on this one as I haven't really created good win/loose conditions. I also noticed a lot more AI planes can be used simultaneously, so I will increase the # of planes.

[[7e]Forza42]

just flew the 14a mission, was very cool! we were only 2 players, so we lost the city .... :D

we don't have lot's of time to intercept bombers, they are very high :S

[=LD=Hethwill]

You'd think these will work in MP Coop on 3.0 ?

 

Thanks.

[SYN_Haashashin]

Hi Hethwill,

 

To tell you the truth we didnt test them, we are building new true Coop missions. Probably after the weekend I have something to share.

 

Also after we at the SYN get some practice, I will like to organize some Coop flying on Sundays Nights.

 

Haash

[=LD=Hethwill]

Thanks

Looking forward to the creations.

Thanks a lot Haash.

[No.401_Wolverine]

This will be great. Thank you!

 

I'm hopeful that a lot of people will start creating and sharing co-op missions with the community (myself included!). And not just complicated ones. Sometimes very simple missions can be great tools for budding mission makers as they can break them down in the mission editor and learn a few things that way.
