Channel Command - Now live on ATAG Server 1

[hc_wolf]

Hi All,

Channel Command now live on ATAG Server 1



The Calling of missions is limited. AI are capped and at any one time Red or Blue teams can call up the following;
1 High level Bomber mission (60 min missions)
1 Low Level Bomber Mission (45 min missions)
1 Ground Bomber Mission (45 min missions)

Brand new Airfields and placement of flyable Aircraft. Designed for greater variety and defense of each country.

There are many new features in this mission. I have designed it so even if you are on your own or just a couple of people online. You can call dedicated missions or wait for the usual bomber attacks.

You can only run 1 High level & 1 Low level mission at a time. So discuss and choose, this is so the game does not overload. Or check in game menu to see what is running when you enter Tab-4-3

The overall mission Objective is for: (See images below).
English to protect Sittingbourne Factory Complex: Germans to Destroy 7 Sittingbourne Factory complexes (range from several to many buildings)
Germans to protect Calais Port Factory's: English to Destroy Calais Port Factory complexes (range from several to many buildings)

Limits on AI Aircraft, Ability to ban players from particular planes.
Heavy Flack....May be reduced during testing.

- Ground missions are for people who want to fly a dedicated bomber mission with dedicated objectives to that mission set aside from the overall mission objectives.
-Each Ground mission has its own Briefing and you can press escape to read details or use in-flight menu Tab-4-4-3 to see current status.
-Each Ground mission has objectives on both RAF and LWA sides. You have 45 mins to complete objectives to earn points and destroy partial or all the target.
- Try and evade the AI Random Intercept flights. These can be lethal to a loan bomber if you get spotted or chased down.
- Ground Mission objectives vary from destroying Factory complex's, Rail Yards, Ports or sections of Ports, Housing, Hangers & Airfields.
- Ground missions set objectives for the bombers. But bonus objectives are there for other team if they destroy 20% or 80% of bomber groups.
- Ground mission distances vary. But are all aimed at strategic points where you must navigate Flack.

Thanks Ataros and everyone else.

Great to have lots on the server. Made some additions today.



On the timed high, low and ground missions... If the planes groups are destroyed on way to target and you achieve 80% destruction of attacking bomber group.. The timer now resets and you can call a new mission up in the menu and not have to wait the full 59 minutes.

Same if u destroy the ground mission targets.
