Combat Event

[SCG_Neun]

 

 

Okay, let’s get some tanks out there in a concerted event with an official start time and some semblance of organization, at least in the numbers that will be present.  We are hosting a tank event on the Moscow map with an option for the new Tiger and KV-1 tanks to form up in mass.   We should have some tank action out there but slots are limited.

 

This will be a test for our server as well, so the time slot will be more compatible to NA to help with connection issues.  I’m planning on 10 Tiger slots and 15 KV1 slots with 2 slots each for recon aircraft from each side to start out.  We will have to work up on the numbers, so starting out small for now.  This is a tank mission crafted by Coconut.... only we are giving it some parameters for start and finish with organizational comms and the feel of tactical unity for each side.  

 

Players when KIA are allowed to respawn in aircraft only, so as the battle rages we should have a crossover into an air battle of sorts.

 

I’m waiting back from our unit to get an idea on how many of us will be attending the event, so I have a feeling that Tiger slots will be limited with Russian slots mostly available.  But I will update on this if enough of you guys are interested.  Just having 10 to 15 tanks come into the server at the same time, turn over engines and form up is an awesome immersive experience in itself.  Something you just don't get in the regular open multiplayer servers....

 

If we get some interest  I will come up with a signup sheet and start planning on a set time for Saturday or Sunday..say around 7PM EDT.  

 

Thanks

I'm currently only playing with the new tanks in my beta version of the game to test. I don't have Tank Crew pre-ordered so I can't join your test server. I would love to though. Hopefully I get paid soon... Tank Crew is top of my list for "luxury" purchase lol. 

 

In the past few years of playing IL-2 I have never joined a "squadron" or whatever because my sleep cycle and schedule is non-existent or random due to kinda gnarly health issues. Yet all my instincts are still telling me to start a 2.SS Das Reich unit though.  (I used to do reenacting as a 2.SS Panzer Grenadier hehe)

We have a lot of fun together, but with today's time restraints and the plethora of sims available.....  it's hard to keep a large number of guys interested in the same sim thereby allowing us to populate our own server and have an immersive experience.  The pluses are you can setup your parameters and create a very immersive combat arena because at that level only historically interested simmers want to go through all the trouble signing up, etc....The negative is that missions are few and far between and without the spontaneity you have in the open servers....In addition, finding missions to use and having the expertise to modify them or create entirely new missions takes time and effort and as you know.....alot of skill.

Could you post or pm me a mission? I'm curious what you have going on.

will do....

I'm definitely interested. Will link this to JG1 forum. There may be others interested. Yeah, would prefer the Tiger but I will fill in where needed. 

 

EDIT:

 

Sunday would only work for me if it starts about 21:00 EDT. Saturdays all day is good (except when Jasta 5 Black September is running... starting next weekend through Sept... I believe it starts at 13:00 EDT and runs for 2 hours).
