New mission live on Atag server 2 updated now.

[hc_wolf]

Mission RedvBlue1.4 Updated TODAY 23.04.2012.

-allowed spits and 109's are dynamic. Crash etc and the allowed spits will drop.
- land safe and spit2 allowable go up. etc same with 109 4 e's

-Reduced Static Land objectives.
-Objectives menu now lists completed objectives
- Points are added killing enemy Land or air units. Points deducted for losing objectives.
-Added more Objectives to coding, So we can turn some off and they can be activated any time to change mission objectives and style of game.

- Added bigger bomber groups.( Ready for patch). Groups of up to 20 Bombers.
- Added Recon sea planes.
- added random small bombers
-So I have scaled back the objectives see below. There are 18 objectives coded but only 6-8 active on each side
- Red or Blue must get to 2000 points to win.

Blue side has 2 Land, Air and Sea & destroySupply objectives.

Red side will have 2 Land (Heavy German defence), 2 air and 1 sea objective.

It is a lot harder for Red to bring down a bomber group or bomb the objectives.

The emphasis will be back on fighter v fighter trying to protect or defend bomber groups. The land and sea objectives are there for people who like to...bomb.

Below example:

Primary: Check Objective status InGame(Tab+4+3)
Supply BlueObjective1 E11-H10 Destroy Supply Column Sittingbourne to Cantebury
Supply BlueObjective2 H10-G8 Destroy Supply Column Cantebury to Lypne

Sea BlueObjective3 Blue ships Survive
Sea BlueObjective4 Red ships Destroyed all 7

Land BlueObjective8 J11: RAMSGATE RAIL FACTORIES (heavy defence)
Land BlueObjective12 G8: AMMO FACTORY (Heavy Defence)


Air BlueObjective16 Destroy English Bomber groups
Air BlueObjective17 Destroy English Bomber groups


Land RedObjective9 P3: German FACTORIES (heavy defence)
Land RedObjective10 P3: Light Tank Factory (heavy defence)

This version is on server 2 and rotated with another mission so check breifing to see RedvBlue 1.3 or above.

awesome! I look forward to downing some large bomber groups and sea plane scouts over the channel post patch.

[SiThSpAwN]

Nice! Thanks

[Red Dragon-DK]

That is great news. Looking forward to fly them.

Great job ATAG!

Just a question, is there a way so i can take re role of a crewman on one of the active flight? IA or human? Last time i tried to play, my friend were unable to take the co-pilot/bombardier role.

[III/JG53_Don]

Some awesome changes there!! Thank you!
So are the number of all Spitfire and 109 variants limited? What means this in total numbers? ^^
Therefore Hurricane and G.50 / 110 are the only fighters in unlimited numbers?

@Vyllis: You can switch to a position since day one imho. What makes this a little bit difficult is that you have to be kinda near the plane you want to sit in. Easiest way is to choose the same airfield than your mate you want to share a plane with.

Yes you can. You need to create an aircraft close enough to the one you wish to crew. Then you can return to the menu and click on the gunner position you wish. Its a little bit tricky to click as the list moves. Also, please don't hop in and out of people's gunner spot as it removes the AI.

Cheers.

[ATAG_Doc]

Think you need to be in same map square.

[SiThSpAwN]

Yup, as said above, you have to jump into another plane at the same airfield, then jump out and you should be able to jump into a position in your buddies plane... kinda silly but it is what it is...

I tried a few times, thanks for the proper instruction's...how do you know if you have a human pilot?

[SiThSpAwN]

You cant switch to that position and the plane is actually flying and not crashing to the ground... no AI in multiplayer... least on ATAG server.

[TRIK]

wheres this server based my ping is 230 + :(

[ATAG_Doc]

One other thing. You can fly close to a bomber that is AI and jump into any position. Pilot gunner whatever you wish.

Same as a human piloted plane but you can't occupy a spot already occupied by a human of course.

But if you're watching / covering a bomber and it comes under attack when your really not in position to assist or a little out of range you can jump into that planes gunner - if not occupied - and have a go at the bandit.

But please ask the pilot. I love handling my own gunner myself and hate to try and switch and can't because someone is in it.

A gunner is a personal thing and it takes team effort between the pilot and gunner. I consider it an honor to gun for someone but I too need to know that we agree to the action we take when under attack.

You can't fire very well on someone that is turning their plane as well as the bandit turning. I prefer someone know what I will do when attacked to give them the best chance of success.

The goal as gunner isn't so much as to shoot down the bad guy. But give the pilot every reason to want YOU as his gunner and to give him the confidence knowing he has a good one there and all he needs is to concentrate on the mission. And of course to break when I say.

Chicago

Sorry meant to quote you. It's in Chicago.

[ATAG_MajorBorris]

Thanks Wolf!

Regarding the gunners, as Doc was saying it takes some teamwork between the PIC and the gunner to have some success but for me, ts3 coms is the the most important factor to multicrew survivalbility.

See ya in the air!

[PeterPanPan]

Anywhere near Hinsdale?!

So does each bomber have their own ts Chanel/room?

[ATAG_Keller]

So does each bomber have their own ts Chanel/room?

Typically no, as there are usually fighters trying to escort or sweep for the bombers. You certainly could go into your own channel if you wanted to though.

I wasn't going to play the game until the patch had been released, but for the first time tonight I thought I would have a quick look at the online experience. I started the game at 9:30pm GMT and saw only 3 servers in all, 2 of these servers had 1 player on and the third had 2 players on. Can someone tell me if there is a problem with my ingame browser, or is this the normal server count in this game at present?

To my shock and horror what I saw alarmed me so much so I write it here. I started the game at 9:30pm GMT and saw only 3 servers in all, 2 of these servers had 1 player on and the third had 2 players on. Can someone tell me if there is a problem with my ingame browser, or is this the normal count for servers in this game at present?

Problem with your browser, clear the filters and try again.

Dutch did a quick vid test 2059833232262 LOL . Anyway shows off some of the emmersion I am trying to bring to the online servers.

There is a full 2 way scoring system and Plane allocation and menu (sometimes broken on Red team - Its a patch thing).

Check out the vid. Mission went live this morning on Atag server 2. It will hopefully move to Server 1 soon.

Potnoodles, While I was coding there was about 15-29 players on Atag2 all night.

[III/JG53_Don]

Wow that is pretty cool! Well done you guys :)
Finally some pressure to return home safely

[PotNoodles]

Problem with your browser, clear the filters and try again.

How do you clear the filters. Thanks!!

[hc_wolf]

There is a button in the Internet section called Filetes. Click on that then click on the button called clear

[ATAG_Dutch]

Hmmmf.

I now consider a modicum of financial recompense to be necessarily forthcoming from an Australian direction. :grin:

The new mission is superb chaps. Give it a whirl.

Thanks Wolf. ;)

P.S. Happy St. George's Day!

The Atag server 2 is a smaller server I think. It only has 3 cores and when runninng the mission there can be a second program running that gathers all the stats from server 1 to put on the atag website.. i think that is what it is doing.... anyway the 3core cpu on server 2 is maxed out at 100% and this can cause delays in people connecting and even remore connecting to the server.

I am in Australia and once playing it is fine but if the cpu running at 100% it can cause warp or long delays for people connecting cause the messages are not getting sent to the network.

I play on server 1 all the time with ping of 240+ and never had a warping problem or anything. It is great.
