Storm of War

[BlindAsABat]

Boo, SoW is definitely not for the solo pilot though, at least on the red team, a well formed pair can be very successful.  In SoW3 and 4 we had one pair, who again I shan't name in case they are still about,  who flew as open pilots (i.e. with no fixed base etc.) who were my goto fighter interception team.

 

I don't know about the blue team but if you ever want to cross back to the side of the angels, I am sure Cam would give you a berth.  For whatever side and in whatever way you choose I do hope you will decide to join in the new SoW - the game will be much the better for your skills, knowledge and talents.

There is a lot of things i look back on and think could have been done better.  Pointless glory runs all over map that only served to expand the ai targetting was possibly one although im not sure how much influence that had on expansion of the AI selection of targets. Not actively following up those raids with a recce was another one. I wonder just how much more damage we could have done by sticking to one area at a time and tagging along to the AI rather than using it as a distraction to dodge attention ourselves whilst we repetatively undertook pointless missions.  

 

I just hope the blues move away from the "lets get the radar" ethos. 5 pickets with good eyes can be just as effective once you are halfway across the channel.  It used to cost us more aircraft than any bloody raid in any case! And i can remember the sucking of gums and insinuations when i had the brass neck to miss my target. 

 

 There was some discipline though. And likely as much if not more than the red side......

 

..but that doesnt really say that much! LOL

 

Anyhow as a non squad player these days theres little for me in SOW. For squads though..........the best there is and by a long chalk. 

Boo,

 

I will drop you a pm if you don't mind, I'd be keen to run through some ideas for the new "ruleset" with you and see if they address some of your experience from the LW side.

 

On a general note, testing has seen over 150 players join the server if only for a few moments and players seem to be connecting and playing without issue. (except me! I'm still taking an age to connect inexplicably.)  The next challenge will be a large scale test and the publication of the rules and the picking of a start date. I'm anticipating mid-late February.

 

The website is open for squadron registrations again, I've wiped the previous entries. Please feel free to create your squadron entries again and get your pilots set up. I'd appreciate if people can try and remember their passwords before creating new accounts. If people need user names changing for different squadron affiliations then a pm will let me know...

I'm with Mystic on this, I hope everyone works constructively to ensure that the focus is on the enjoyment of the game.

My squad has disbanded so I will fly alone.

 cheers all,

enjoy the challenge and above all have fun.

Can you tell me when storm of war will restart? Thank you.

Some response on discord:

 

@-IRRE- Genius sadly I've had little to no enthusiasm for it given it takes me up to 22 minutes (the longest I've timed) to join my own server...

 

@No.54 Reddog Thanks. It s a server problem or too much object to load on the mission ? If is it the server maybe ATAG or TWC sqadron can help ?

 

Judging by other people's experiences it's something which is applicable to only a few people, I'm unlucky to be one of them. It's not just my server, it's all servers.

I don't think ATAG or TWC can help no. I've posted on the IL2 forums but TF didn't seem to be able to solve it either.
