No, no tactics discussion forum, at least not provided by me.

The campaign has no notion of squadron, but I will make it possible to donate reserve cash ("cocobucks") to anyone you want.

Yeah. Some of my friends dont enter o server because "ferry is boring"

 

If they had a chance to fly some sorties maybe this can change

[[CPT]CptJackSparrow]

So we have cocobucks, what prey tell are server regulars referred to as?

 

Coco-ites?

Cocoians?

 

[CCG_bexhausted]

I know, I am strange: I love the supplies flights  or conveying planes.

But maybe the normal pilots would be more motivated if the reward were higher (me included)?

We gain a lot of points by destroying targets or planes but comparatively very little by providing the logistics that are just as important to winning the war.
And the interest of this campaign is to be able to do logistics (looking forward for the Li3)!

This is a question I  ask myself not a critic of this excellent server.

 

What do you think ?

After this fight:

blocked tank fights with participation of players ........

 

 

Could you tell me please why ended map Stalingrad 42 and began map Moscow 41....?

 

The loss of one of the parties, the test of new features, server upgrade....?

 

The maximum number of points the player will be limited to 3000...?

Damn Cutlass why did u have to kill them all lol ....

The map ended because the axis won. I did not have time to fly much and I don’t know how the situation was.

 

Lagg was missing becaus of a bug. 

 

Next map is Moscow because it’s a new one. It’s intended to replace the old Moscow autumn one, which had a weird layout.

 

I put a ceiling on number of points to avoid situations where people don’t care about their planes because the have over 100000 cocobucks. It kind of fails to achieve that so I’ll keep changing that.

About the cargo boxes: these are boxes you find on the piers on the Kuban map.

Was it this server that had some aerial recon photos?

Please announce the conditions of victory in a separate mission in the campaign in General. As far as I understand the mission team wins with more points. Accordingly, in the campaign, the team winning the largest number of missions. Correct me if I'm wrong. Probably more correct would be the award of victory on the map side captured all the enemy airfields. Accordingly, the winning party in the campaign would receive a larger number of cards.

Every city have placed tanks on map? I cant found the parked ones

 

[coconut]

@=FPS=CutlassSorry, I don't understand what you are saying. A campaign (in other words, a map) is won when one side captures all the airfields, or after 14 days (game time, so shorter in real life time) for the side with most regions.

 

@ESCOMM_FlyMaker Only the tanks that have moved in the previous mission are exposed in tank parks in the current mission. They become visible on the map after you've spotted them, after a delay. "Spotted" means flown within 3km (sphere distance)

Hmm, no, I don't think so. Player occasionally post pictures of targets, typically in private squad channels.

[ESCOMM_FlyMaker]

The discussion on Discord is going well but I need more time to share some thoughts.

The current airfield system is deprecated. They have a minimum effect on the campaign so here are my ideas about that.
Maybe this can help you rework this system or come with other ideas from community

Airfields have 2 main attributes: Plans and KG of Bombs. The problem is, Bomb become a useless stuff. Weird right?
But yes, we have a campaign based on tank destroyers and tank destroyers do not use so much bombs. Rockets and 37 mm cannons is enough!
My suggestion is to increase these attributes and change how airfield works.
Let's see what we can do:
When we think of operational needs, what are the attributes in WWII airfields? Supplies right ?! But wich supplies we need?
Fuel, Bombs, Maintenance stuffs and of coarse plans.

Creating maintenance point for fields we can limit how many times a plane can take off in a mission and make a cost for that.
Transfers will not be the only logistic, supply missions should be essential.

This is the basic but i need time to write all the stuffs
@coconut If you like the idea i can write here later

Nah. We don't need another way to prevent pilots from flying.

I'd rather make other targets that require bombs more attractive to Russians. I could also count rockets as bombs. No supplies, no rockets.

It is a pity that such departures are not yet possible on the server within the organized units.

Does it make sense to think about it?

Hey guys,

 

just a quick question: Just noticed on your server, that a pilot flying on German side made 6 aerial kills, and then spent all his cash to waste planes from an airfield I was supplying. I supplied that airfield and while on my way there for a second go I noticed that in very short periods the pilot took off with all the Ju-88 and Bf-110. That guy also flies on Soviet side.

 

Is there a way to prevent such waste of airplanes?

Although it is allowed to fly both sides, if I see that a pilot appears to be good on one side, and wasteful on the other, to the point where it's obviously sabotage, I'll ban that person. Please let me know in  a private message who that is.

 

If he's just being careless, that's not against the rules. I could however put a number of measures to mitigate that, such as put in place an extra price on rentals for players that have lost their plane ("extra insurance costs")

Can someone please tell me how I take off from Zenino,head east, cross into enemy territory and drop a 250 lb bomb on the storage facility colored red on the map and get friendly fire once I land back at Zenino and finish mission?  Never once did a fire a single round. I accepted the fact that as soon as my bomb was away, the message came across that any actions from this point will not be counted then boom!!!!  My bomb hits. Ok 15 minutes left let’s go put this plane down so it will be there for me tomorrow hopefully. So how gut wrenching to see an action counted for friendly fire. WTF?????????  

 

P.S. I checked my settings and have blue for friendlies and red for enemies. Now I am color blind,  but I can tell the difference between blue and red.  

 

Just wanted Ted to put this out there to see if anyone else has experienced the same thing?
