Starts 3rd NOVEMBER 2012

9 Missions - 1 per week repeated sunday. 1 life/aircraft per mission, no reflies 20 mins after battle start! Server will be up 15 mins beofre for connecting.




Overview:

In the research we conducted trying to find red/blue attack/defend missions for our campaign we quickly realised that RAF Bomber Command played only a miniscule role in the whole battle. When RAF bomber Command did venture out it was often unescorted in daylight raids - which often proved deadly! So after much digging and deliberation we decided Blue would attack soley.

The missions selected are all based on historic actions in the Battle of Britain. To avoid people simply looking up the next mission and taking away the element of suprise, no dates will be used and they may or may not be in chronological order! So keep an open mind and your eyes peeled!

We are trying our best to create immersion and give the whole campaign a distinct BoB taste. For example we want to simulate the sense of urgency and desperation on the red side. We want the blue side to feel over streched and far from home - eyes on fuel guages!

Things sorted themselves out last time so it should this time, at least thats the theory...


Some new missions being added:

Between 1 and 3 missions will be added to the campaign and are being finalised now.


1 Life per Mission:

You may only have 1 life and 1 aircraft per sortie. So please practice your taxi-ing and take offs and be aware that sometimes your Squadron wont be the only Squadron on that airfield! Sometimes you will spawn in a hanger. If you have not taken off and do die respawn but please dont make a habbit of it.

Based on Percentile losses of 109s by subtype.


Mission 1 - July
Missions 2-6 - August
Mission 7 - September

Each squadron will be assigned so many of each fighter type depending on what each side agrees with its self. As a general rule therefore consider red mostly flying Hurricanes and blues flying E1's untill August/September where they will mostly be flying E4's.

Objectives:

Red teams sole aim is to stop the bombers and lose as few aircraft and pilots as possible!

Blue teams aim is to destroy RAF fighter Command and to lose as few Aircraft and pilots as possible!



The BoB campaign is planned to be run as follows:

Red side will organise themselves based on in game radar reports and briefings, under the direction of one of several Squadron leaders who will operate flights.

Blue side will have an organised brief and will generally be escorting bombers and conducting Frei-Jagd fighter sweeps to gain Air superiority.

It is upto Squadrons/Staffeln to coordinate between themselves and improve upon the effectiveness of their forces to gain victory through tactics and teamwork.

The campaign will have Statistics recorded. From these stats will be determined which side (if any) won the mission. Victory Conditions will loosely be decided by how many Bombers the reds managed to shoot down and how many fighters were lost trying to do this both in the air and on the ground.


Statistics and scoring:

A seperate database will be created for each mission so you can see the performance of yourself, your squadron and your team. It will look something like this:

USA Daylight Saving Time is the first Sunday in November.The 4th this year.

[JTDawg]

71st will be there in good numbers, sunday being there better day (more players) but we will also be there on sat. as to fly with some aussie "s we don't see much , SALUTE see you there

[5./JG27.Farber]

For those taking part, please make sure everyone in your squadron has read and understood the rules:

Apologise for all friendly fire and collision incidents clearly by voice or in-game text.

Shoulder shooting is forbidden.

Shooting parachutists is forbidden.

Team kills are forbidden.

Strafing/bombing grounded aircraft is allowed

All Targets maybe engaged. Including aircraft landing or taking off.

Hacking, glitching and cheating will result in a ban.

Essentially we would like to run "coop" stlye missions in our campaigns very much like in old IL2 1946 fb - one aircraft, one life and no refly. However this mode is not available to us at this time. Also spawns sometimes kill pilots who dont put their brakes on, some idiot crashes into you whilst taxiing, etc etc. - in this case then just refly! However once you are wheels up, if your game crashes, your engine blows up, you get shot down or for any reason you cannot continue to fly - then your flight is over; NO REFLY! We are using an "honour" system and players are expected to enforce this on themselves - if not bans will be used, possibly on the whole squadron if needed.

In game markings must be used!




Be warned if you do not follow the rules your whole squadron may be removed.

Another epic battle, large squadron sized scraps over the channel at altitude, historically balance planesets (2/3rds Hurricane and historical mix of 109 types) in historical battles. Plenty of RAF and Luftwaffe diving away to escape once they'd been pinged with live rounds

If you want to be involved then ACG are recruiting pilots for the RAF and Luftwaffe. Just drop in and say hello.

A bump for this epic campaign this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday 8pm GMT - we're getting big numbers because this is fantastic, unrivalled stuff. If you aren't involved, perhaps you are not in a squadron but fancy a crack at some really immersive? Historically accurate missions and mass group flying is here - none of this airquake made up stuff with low small scrapes mid channel or perchers over airfields!! Drop by our comms for the evening and we'll take you on board in an ACG squadron to test fly us.

Please arrive by 1930GMT.

...And we have something rather special and unique to COD being introduced for the first time, something not available on other servers which adds enormously to the realism factor

Re-modelled Merlins?

Sorry, couldn't resist. I seem to be in cynical mood this morning. I'll go for a walk.
