1st Multisquad Campaign Battle of Britain
 

5./JG27 & 9./ZG26 Presents:


Battle of Britain Multi squad Campaign STARTS 30th October and runs every sunday at 21:00 CET (15:00 Eastern) for four weeks.

Version will be latest beta patch 2 plus hotfix.

Introduction:

We are looking for Squadrons and Staffeln to take part in our proposed BoB MS Campaign. If you are not part of a Squadron try approaching one to fly with, passwords will only be given to Squadron commanders. We will start at Kanalkampf and run through Adlertag, Adlerangriff and Blitz. We aim to run this campaign over four weeks, one mission per week. We want a historical atmosphere not a bunch of lone wolfs trying to get as many kills as possible! If you don’t take enough fuel or waste your ammo there is no respawning, you land, the end!


Scope and Objective:

Aircraft, ground units and mission objectives will all have realistic historical feeling, for example pilots will only have one life per mission! Targets will be historical for example, Shipping, RADAR, Airfields and industrial facilities. Flights will be as long as necessary. Overall the objective is to have a realistic feel, with large scale engagements rather than just a few aircraft fighting... Its also important that we all have fun!


Realism Settings - Difficulties:

All difficulties will be on except Anthrophermofic.

The server will be scripted so after 15 minutes you will no longer be able to spawn. Hopefully you will have no problem spawning but if you do you will have 15 minutes to find a good spawn, after this period no one will be able to respawn. This will be 15 minutes after the server starts NOT 15 minutes after you join.


Custom Skins:

To improve the server and client performance only default skins will be used! Do not use custom skins or your unit will be expelled from the campaign!


Unit Placement:

Staffeln or Squadrons will be assigned a start position based on historical unit placement depending on map, those with the actual unit name will be placed there automatically and other units assigned at random. Its important you spawn in you designated airfield to avoid collisions and or griefing and generally bringing your unit into disrepute.

EDIT: If you placed as for example: Hurricane unit, you can use any hurricane listed for the map. If theres a guinine problem with spawn you can "overflow" to another base...


AI Aircraft:

Although we welcome bomber crews unfortunately they are a breed apart and fewer in number. Bomber crews are VERY welcome however we will have AI bombers to perform missions during the campaign.

Come on Reds! Dont be shy!

I'd approach 56RAF if you're looking for reds. They're good people and good pilots.

In the meantime I'd like to sign up JG13 but there are only 2 of us flying CLOD at the moment.

Is that too few?

from what i undersotrood, you may end up paired with other squads.

to OT: i psoted this on my squad forum, will try to get some in if interest arrises.

Alrighty then,

No! Doesn't matter how many guys you have! Thats the whole point of making it a multisquadron event. You might end up at the same spawn/airfield but each Squad is invited to interperet the brief as they see fit. Wether you stay with the bombers or go off ahead, its down to you. You squad might want to hang back and go in the fray a little later or sneak around and try and catch people landing afterwards! Its up to each squad to decide their own patrol on the mission. No one will have a unit forced on them.

P.S. Will post aircraft lists etc very soon! Theres no SpitIIa's at all due to flight model and no Bf109E4's till last mission which is Sept 1940.

Will there be anyone coordinating flights overall? Might be a good idea.

Well yes they can if they wish get together and do so. In fact that would be great!

However as 5./JG27Rudelmann and myself have put this together, 5./JG27 should'nt be allowed to plan or take part in planning so as it may remain fair.

If a Red and a Blue Squadron want to take that on themselves and have a discussion or forum thats cool.

I just remember an online war in il21946 where we had a guy designated as the Operations Officer and he handled coordinating all the flights.

For example if my flight spotted dots way off in the distance we'd call the OPO and ask who was where. If he didn't know (usually he did) he'd call other squadrons, find out, and then get back to us.

Similarly he'd call us periodically for position/situation updates which really helped bringing overwhelming numbers to bear.

But it sounds like this is a little more casual than that, so no sweat!

Sadly, 8pm GMT on a Sunday translates to 7am on a Monday morning for the Aussies, which will count most Australian/New Zealanders out :(

Or we get an Aussie with server Admin rights ? is that possible ?

So this would be 3pm my time I think? EST in Toronto?

EDIT: Would help if I read the opening post better :P Yes, 3pm.

Also, version says beta patch 2 with hot fix. Can I assume that this is going to change to the most recent official patch version?

EDIT 2:

Ahh, what the heck. Tally ho!

The reds dont seem to have the will to fight :( Except the Aussies! :)


I guess the Reds are just a bunch of glory boys who cant fight with the current aircraft! I suppose the campaigns off. How would they have won the Battle of Britain with that spirit!?

:)

COME ON YOU REDS!

I'm still willing to take all of you on! I might need more than one life tho...

Dont worry I spoke to a red squad tonite, they are signing up!

Hey, just 5 of us! We still need more reds. :)

This is our main Il2 SEOW campaign night but in the spirit developing the game we will try to be involved. Any other night and we could most probabily throw six to seven pilots into the fray

Change in commanders callsign. Numbers expected to be involved is increasing

I knew the GIAP would not dissapoint! :)

Just to clarify... if you assigned a hurricane Sqn, you can use any Hurri listed in the original post... Same goes for all other aircraft... All variants listed will be available per squadron!

COME BACK & FIGHT YOU BLUE COWARDS, IT'S ONLY A FLESH WOUND:)

There's enough Aussies with ClOD to cobble together a mottly crew, and there is certainly the will mate. :) Just not on a Monday morning.

How many is enough?! Are we talking quite a few here? A good time for one time zone is bad for some other... Its a tricky one.

Yes, timezones are very tricky. Aussie based squads would include Australian's United Squad - 2 with ClOD, Real Aussie Airforce (You'll have to ask Smouch), Southern Cross Fighter Guppe (You'll have to ask IvanK). I'd be happy in a bomber's gunner seat if I can make it.

Looking forward to this :)

Glad to have Syndicate on board!

Sorry, our squad is not up-to-date with hardware yet but we will join later.

Still one week left before we start. Would be nice to see a few more red side pilots.

Its not too late to join! Remember, its just a bit a fun!

Cheesehawk:

If you need a "quick and dirty" solution I could try writing a simple program in Python to parse the logs in an old-style manner similar to il2fb.

However this is assuming that the relevant info is printed to the logs. I've done absolutely no research into the matter of log files and online stats so I'm not sure what information goes out to the log files.

I say give it a go Doggles... I have a zipped copy of the old reader if you need it...

I think I read that thread on the ATAG forums. I'll do some digging when I get home on tuesday night. It's been a good while since I've fiddled with C# but my brother is a software engineer so I'll see if I can pick his brain.

Is this thing still scheduled for next weekend? Do we have enough red pilots?

Just idle curiosity re: the pilot numbers.

I'm out of the province until Tuesday afternoon so I won't have access to the FMB or game until then, but I have monodevelop on my laptop (fedora 15) so I can at least browse the code on the plane. Check PMs for my email address.

Passwords and Red/Blue Briefings will be PM'd tomorrow.

You will receive a password and brief for your side as an image link as well as your starting positions.
5./JG27 Teamspeak will be available for those that wish to join.

We are no longer accepting Blue Squadrons. We are accepting RED squadrons!

Squadron leaders standby!

THE LINE UP SO FAR:
(No Blues may join now until more Red Squadrons come forward.)

Hopefully I havent left anyone out, if I have sorry and would you please let me know.

PM's SENT, PM IF THERE IS A PROBLEM!

Where can I find the info for the teamspeak/vent server?

If needed, I can host people on my vent server, but it's a max 10 persons.

Wolverine you can use our server but the best bet is to ask one of the red Squadrons to come on there's. I partnered you up with Syndicate because I know they have a public TS(?). Send them a PM, Im sure they will be very welcoming, their a nice bunch :)

If your low on red numbers Farber, I will be willing to fly red.

P.S. Do we have a plane set list anywhere?

Check first post.

Join red if you want.

Good day!
Please indicate more specific time, 15:00 Eastern is what?
It would be nice if you had told me in Moscow nowadays.
Thank you!

It will be at 11:00 PM (23:00) Moscow time.

Right now, Eastern is GMT-4. On November 7th it will be GMT-5.

that sounds promising!!!

ok im in no squad yet, but maybe i get hired by one...

Thanks I will just need to confirm the change.

Thank you!
'll Be sure to partner.

I don't think they're accepting any more blue pilots until some more red ones join.

It's currently looking like 3 blues for every 1 red at the least.

Hopefully its more like 2:1.

Is there really this few red squads?

Most of the Red campaigning squadrons I know are participating in and committed to long running IL2 FB/46 campaigns (including my Squad). I think the lack of Red participation is just an issue of timing, there are a lot of IL2 squads that have not switched over.

I am glad to see someone getting a campaign going, good luck!

JD
AKA_MattE

Thanks for the support Jugdriver.

Yeah if it was run on a Saturday I could have doubled our numbers. :grin:
Unfortunately we are at a make or break point in our IL2 SEOW campaign as we launch a massive counter attack on the enemy front. We have prepped paratroop drops on airfields at our breakthrough point already. We will be fielding a near full Giap complement of active flyers, all 26 of us in Il2 so our numbers will be thin on the ground in the multi squad campaign this Sunday. The semi-active guys do not have Clod :(
Hopefully next Sunday we will pour six or so into the Clod multi squad campaign :)

26 of you? That must be a formidable sight.

:grin:It is but our enemy fields the same number although they are made up of smaller squadrons. Yeah Il2 SEOW is still alive and kicking. We are hoping this campaign starts Clod on the same path. I am hoping a few more of our squad gets the game soon.
We have doubled our presence in RoF and if all goes well we will do the same in Clod. :grin::grin:
And if the next expansion is Defense of Moscow and they have flyable I-16's then, well anyone who knows our squadrons history will know we will be out in force.

Hi fellas.

We're trying to organize some pilots for this. There's a posting on our forums asking for anyone who wants to fly (don't need to be in a squad).

How many more reds are needed?

Honestly, the more the merrier. Get as many as you can.

I ran into a red squadron today and sent them a link to this thread. Their tag is O_ which stands for (IIRC) Oceanic Task Force.

They had 5 guys on ATAG so hopefully they can bring that many!

Ok, Faber I see, we the 104th go RED for helping you out in this case. It is no wonder that soo many blues are around......;)

Thanks for the invite,

But alis that not a real south pacific friendly time zone..works out to be 2am monday morning New Zealand time..I work Monday.s as most of us do.

Maybe next time... But can you please think of a better time happy medium for all of us.

:( That's too bad.

Maybe we can find a more palatable time slot.

Hi guys,

sorry about the late call. I've stuck my neck out and put us into this. Sunday is one of our Squad nights so should be ok. We did try the JG27 server last week but there were many stutters so we left but I think the guys will turn out, scenarios are our thing, we used to do them (and some of our guys ran some) - in IL-2 and Aces High.

What is the login time (presumably on TS)?
It would help if we were all online at 8:30pm (CET)/7:30pm (UK) so we can get organised.

Is there a briefing opportunity and any commanders pre-discussion or do we just go at the 'Lets Go' on TS?

Can the RAF know the disposition of the British ships beforehand? (Presumably only ships are the target in round 1.)
Can we know the available RAF airfields beforehand?
Can the RAF know the disposition of the LW units beforehand?

Please could you have 56 Sqdn available on the Squadrons list at the field we are assigned to (or all units at all fields?)

I think the first one might be a little casual but I hope it goes in this direction. Online wars are the best part of il2.

Well if we can get the basics right it should turn out ok otherwise it might be a bit shambolic or at least no-one finds anyone :)

We really just need time to sort out and assign the spare guys and come up with a quick plan otherwise its just another server night of milling around.

I've seen the briefing, I don't think we'll have to worry about not finding each other.

Bloody hell!

Just saw this. Let me get squadron command on the r/t and I'll see if we can scramble.

[QUOTE=5./JG27.Farber;355862]Welcome aboard! Good job I checked the forums this morning!

Me too please :)

Thanks Farber. I just read the PM. I understand that we have to take on the 'persona' of a real event, in this case operating from Tangmere as 1, 43, 601. I have no problem with is but I notice that we only have 2 pitch Hurricanes available - is this historically correct because the rotol was available from the start of the BoB? Can you confirm this please?

thanks

Here are documents from the battle of France for No.1 squadron stating that they already have rotol Hurricanes:http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...-18april40.jpg
http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...-orb-may40.jpg

Couldn't we have the benefit of the doubt?

These may help...

From same wwiiaircraftperformance website:

F/Lt I. R. Gleed, 87 Squadron, 19 May 1940 Rotol constant-speed airscrew used in France.

1 Sqdn. Operations Record Book, 18 April 1940: "A new Hurricane was delivered to the Squadron, equipped with a constant speed airscrew and was flown by the C.O. and other pilots, all of whom were greatly pleased

1 Sqdn. Operations Record Book, 2 May 1940: "Five machines flew to Amiens and four were exchanged for the new constant speed airscrew Hurricanes."

F/O Paul Richey, 1 Squadron, 15 May 1940 France: "I was flying a new aeroplane with a Rotol constant-speed prop..."

32 Squadron, 19 May 1940: "No. 32 (F) Squadron, based at Biggin Hill and flying Hurricanes with Rotol propellers, went into action on 19th May over Cambrai…"

79 Squadron Operations Record Book, 9 June 1940: "Rotol airscrew"

242 Squadron, June 1940: "Rotol constant speed propellers had been fitted to the Hurricanes in early June, replacing the two-position propellers of earlier models."

Also:
56 Sqdn 20/07/1940 (can't vouch for the data but someone seems to have done their homework:
http://www.eskimo.com/~graham/bob/56...%207-20-40.pdf
12 of 16 Hurricanes Rotol by 20th July, 4 2-pitch.
Guess which would have been used by preference?
..6 Gloster 1st batch Hurris built with Rotols
..'Many' (5?) Hawker 2nd batch Hurris converted to Rotol 'by July'.
..1 Hawker third batch Hurri built with Rotol.

Obviously some were not Rotol but it looks heavily in favour of Rotols.

Many thanks, sorry to cause a fuss. I only went by the PM I received stating that DH Hurris were there and the rotol wasn't mentioned.

Look forward to giving Jerry a poke in the eye :D

Will there be a central comms for this? We have our own channel, any allied wishing to co-operate with No.501 please join, especially open to the SYN chaps who are also operating from Tangmere, or anyone else on the campaign.

Whiskey

found all these guys for sunday now what
 

:confused: i rounded up atleast 6 more reds so far

So how many hours will start the mission?

Vladivostok .. I now 15:55 the day ... Thank you!

We've got another 5 or 6 people for the red side.

Can I clarify a few things?

Is there a time limit for the scenario?

If we land due to low fuel or ammo you said "thats it". So we can't fly again?

There have been many freeze-ups/crashes following the last patch and it is keeping some of our guys away due to the 15min start cutoff. If crashes happens can you open a window for rejoining?

Some Reds seem to want to use their own TS instead of the JG27 TS. How do those Reds suggest we co-ordinate?

Oooo.... something I had not considered. Crashes will most definitely happen.

Yes 2 hours!

No, we want to give everyone a real sense of fear and caution rather than a wreckless abandon. So by only having 1 life, you will be more careful, aim better and behave more in a fashion to real life flying. At leaset thats the aim.

No sorry however as stated before there will be two main differences! The server will be started fresh and so therefore will not be cluttered with undestroyed objects and other glitches from have run for some time. Also CUSTOMS SKINS ARE NOT ALLOWED! Improving general performance for all.

You reds will have to sort that out on your own, send a few PM's.

OK thanks.

For the future it may be possible to tie in that Destroy coding if someone is killed or plane crashes and they re-spawn (aircraft parts fall off). I think I saw it on one of the Repka servers. That might release players to re-fuel/re-arm.

Farber can you send me the details/password via PM please, as our CO, Karaya, is MIA.

@cheesehawk - rearm would be excellent. What would be clever if the code simply checked if the aircraft had damage or not, if not allowed the respawn, if not........
Don't know if you have time to implement and test though.

Organising the Allies for tonight.

FIRST: Those lonewolves.......


No.501 would be delighted to take any squadless Hurricane driver as we are a Hurricane squadron (or anybody who will take a Hurricane even though they specified a Spitfire). No.501 are likely to operate from our own clan comms channel, Legio XIII. In preparation for this please download and install Ventrilo client 3.0.5 http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php

Point to:
Server: xiiilegio.killervent.com
Port: 9918
no password is required, don't be shy, just jump in and say hello.

No.501 are meeting at 1900GMT in order to prepare. I will pop my head into JG27 comms in order to make sure everything is all good and no stragglers are left squadless on Allied before we start but my own crew takes priority.

@No.56 Squadron
Klem, could you specify whether 56 are on Spits or Hurris for today please? And perhaps could you also please give me the address of the comms you are going to be using? Many thanks.

@SYN squadron
You appear to also be operating from Tangmere. No.501 will be taking '601' squadron tags leaving 1 & 43 free. Also, we should definately co-ordinate, could you please publish your comms or PM me and we can organise something? Thanks.

Any allied without a home or a clue please join our comms or any preferable comms from open crews published to you. If not gather on JG27 teamspeak 3 (IP: 68.231.88.193, no password) 1930GMT LATEST and please wait, I'll check in before starting.

56RAFwill be flying Rotol Hurricanes (our historical ride). We're happy to fly as 1 Sdn or 43 Sqdn.

We're also happy to take loose pilots and pair them off with a wingman.

We'll use the Jg27 server on the IP listed in your post and I'll be there at 7:30pm (UK time), possibly earlier. SYN and 69 GIAp already have channels assigned and I have asked for a 56RAF channel. I did wonder if we shouldn't all be on the same TS server and in 1, 43 and 601 channels but its probably too late to organise that. Anyway, if we're all on one server in our CoD Squad channels the unit COs can set up whisper keys so that they can co-ordinate. We could all cram onto one channel before the start to sort out a plan.

We now have six pilots confirmed and possibly eight.

See you all tonight.

I've pinged my guys to get TS3 installed if they haven't got it already and get them in there too.

@cheese - Klem makes a very good point. We should have channels not for our crews respectively but for 1, 43 and 601 (or any other in the historic mission) therefore all in the relative squadron are in the same channel.

Also, a mission question. Are we all operating from Tangmere because if so then we have no Spitfire squadrons operating in support, and of course these would need to be DH CSP........:shock: I don't know the history of this mission though, it's possible they were never there anyway.

Sounds like Tangmere is going to be a busy 'drome :D

Hello Gents,

I hope it is still in time. Thanks.
