Calling open beta testers: WB - Clash of Eagles servers

[=1stROF=lapwin]

New server has emerged on the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles scene as multiplayer for that series continues to grow. Two WB-Clash of Eagles servers have just been launched and the team behind it is putting out a call for help testing the new setup. Here are a few details you may want to know about the new server.

Please define the settings for each server.

 

 

As an example, your full realism server has:

- Kill notifications on

- Unlocked payloads

- Unlocked plane modifications (I can take any mod on any available plane, even though your website says otherwise)

- Unlocked fuel levels

- Unrestricted injectors

 

Is this what you want for full realism?

 

I also recommend your 'relaxed realism' have:

- Enhanced aircraft visibility turned off (especially if you're going to have object markers turned on)

 

 

"Switching sides is disabled for at least 60 minutes." - Currently, it's set to 30 seconds.

 

Looking over the map... All linked target MCU icons are 'blue', whereas Allied targets should be 'red' and Axis targets should be 'blue'. Additionally, 'convoy' icons are displayed as ships instead of cars/tanks even though the convoy is clearly a ground target (and not a sea target).

Convoys are ships and not ground vehicles.

Not changing the linked target mcu to the color it belongs to, is a choice in favor of performance and maintenance over coloring.

 

Switching sides was indeed reduced after this post was added.

 

We are making daily balancing changes with suggestions from the testers and therefor we currently enabled all modifications until the planesets are better balanced. Not looking a being historically correct perse, but more about balancing and make it enjoyable to fly for both sides.

 

The realism mode has notifications and killshooter on. But difficulty-wise it's only a warmed engine which is available. The tag 'realism' is not for being historically correct, but more an indicator for the setting difficulty.

 

Thanks for pointing out the enhanced vis being ticked on the relaxed arena.

UPDATE "AMSTERDAM" -- We received great feedback from the Open Beta pilots who flew on the WB - Clash of Eagles servers. Thank you guys!
So we sat down in the O'club yesterday and changed some important settings. To cut it short; less AAA and longer rebuild times in this "Amsterdam update".

NEW maps of all airfields can be downloaded on the website ClashOfEagles.net/Downloads

 

Changes in detail in both the Main Arena and Realism Arena:

- AAA has been tuned down and we replaced 4 x AAA emplacements with searchlights (hint...!)

- The linked targets (ships / factories) AAA has been tuned down as well, and some FLAK is replaced by searchlights

- Extended rebuild times;

• Fieldstructures and AAA rebuild times upped (now 30 minutes, it was 15)
• With linked target destroyed: extra 30 minutes rebuild time of all structures on the field (now 60 minutes, it was 30)
• Linked targets (Ships + Factories) rebuild times stays 90 minutes

- Less wind and turbulence

 

Spread the word, thx for sharing!
