Looking forward to being able to use the Prokhorovka map a bit more!  If only we had the right plane set...

Are there any plans of expanding the AQMB to the aerial aspect of the Prokhorovka map too? Last time I checked it only seemed to have the basic QMB.

Great news and it´s very nice to see that the work is continuing on Tank Crew!

 

By this opportunity it would be interesting to know about any plans of improvements on the indirect fire capability regarding the panoramic sight leveling and bubble levels for all Assault guns.

 

Any news on this matter?

Just wondering what’s meant by the fixes to career progression?

Wow ground AQMB! That is an unexpectedly delightful bit of news!

 

Also happy to see Kerch-Eltigen join the official family of campaigns. I'll have to try Hurgenwald too.

Very cool update for tank crew. Now if only we could get pilot careers or the normal air AQMB for it. Still makes me sad. Seeing the scale of the tank crew campaigns from the air would so cool.  Always glad to see this map getting some love though. It really doesn't get the attention and praise it deserves. Would be cool to see more than just the one official dogfight server use it as well.

Great news!

 

Any chance we'll ever get AQMB for other maps such as Velikie Lukii, Lapino, or Novosokolniki?

What about the WW II issues I made a bug report, with getting your missions cancelled, when it is not the first mission of the day?

@Regingrave would be better-informed to answer this one.

Nice update and competition idea. That’s the kind of thing that makes people feel they are dealing with a human company rather than some flight-sim building cult of silent mystery ?

 

I agree with what others have said, is there more that can be done with Prokhorovka map / potential? It is a lovely map and can be a 1941 as well as 1943 scenario (and Winter-Spring 1942-43 if seasons were added).

 

It’s free for everyone now, yes?

@LukeFF another problem reported are ‘empty’ Normandy career missions?

this AQMB, is it an official integration of the "easy mission generator" software from @SYN_Vander or do the two mods have differences?

Posted

Adding new AQMG missions into FC is good. I like. Here's a photograph for you.

No, they are every different.

From what I have seen, the AQMB is using the "career" mission generator

About tracks :

The problem is still here. And still very annoying. Spending hours trying to recreate war-torn areas without being able to see it on tracks.

What do you mean exactly? No enemy planes showing up? If so that's on the to-fix list too.

AQMB is simply fantastic, oh thank you so so much to any developer reading this or if a moderator can pass it along. I am excited to see what I can do with this.

What is being fixed? I didn't realize there was anything to fix.

This I can reccomend. Pure fun made by a artist mission maker

I'd like to share a track I just recorded on WINGS OF LIBERTY server of a ship bombing task. I recently watched The Eternal Zero (I also recommend you to watch this movie, quite touching) and was inspired by the end of it: The Zero fighter approached an aircraft carrier from very low altitude to avoid AA guns, pulled up and dove to release bomb. Yes, it's the well-known Kamikaze (suicide attack).

 

I tried many times and finally recorded a relatively perfect process. It has a camera problem because I died before the bomb exploded (5s contact timer) and the default camera was blocked by surrounding things, so you'd better press ctrl+F5 to see from the ship's view when I hit it.

 

The track is about 10M which excesses forum attachment size limit, so I uploaded it to Google Drive:

Nice shot, but please note it is about track recordings :)

I think that these specific missions should be added to AQMB.

  • Airfield defence
  • Supply dump defence
  • Train station defence
  • Artillery defence
  • Column defence

Reason being is that your mission objective would be clearer to follow.

 

Other improvements I’d recommend

  • Being able to fly AQMB in both daytime and nighttime.
  • Raise the limit of planes in a squadron from six to eight.

Then again I don’t know what challenges 1CGS would be up against if they did what I suggested above, so pardon me.

Duh.

Didn't read the Readme ?

 

Oh well, great action pic taken from a track and used way back then and now. Something that hopefully gets competitors thinking about submissions depicting BoX multiplayer action tracks.

Looking forward to seeing a compilation of the winners.
