SoWC:BoB Multisquad Campaign Starting

[Osprey]

Strange. Perhaps you can confirm if I hit one of you then because I'm pretty sure I scored some decent hits on one of you but don't know for sure. As you know, sometimes and entire belt is not enough for a 109

It's very frustrating to bounce at speed, faster than the 109 and have the 109 go vertical and keep on going with the Hurricane stalling way before.

well, my plane definitely received some shots, but nothing serious...it didnt leak, and i couldnt find any visual damage....i think it was you.i cannot remember whether Pitti received shots as well or not...

Typical, you bounce him, give a good burst and he says 'nothing serious'.

That first mission did not 'happen' I guess, we will re-fly the scenario next week. Second attempt also had no bombers spawned, but it was good formation flying training and I guess it did not happen either. Why didn't you join the second session?

The encounter happened the way you describe it except for there were 4 Hurricanes all the time, you attacked one pair and the other just on our left warned as and we broke away. With the visibility as it is I don't wonder you missed the others. I escaped OK, then I tried to help Osprey, scored some hits on you, I thought you were going down for a split second but then you got vertical and it was business as usual. Obviously I didn't give up (although I was tempted to BO or belly-land to save my life) and gave you my best fight but it was not enough. I S!'d you afterwards and then luckily found out the mission will be reflown. I suggest you don't worry about the stats, they're adapted from 1946 and not everything works for CloD, like gun accuracy %ge etc. It's good though for you can see sortie details but that's it. Count them privately as macro suggests. I'd rather see the campaign working than stats - the missing bombers and broken radar are major drawback. I had some good fun anyway, I am sure these things will get sorted. Cheers for flying.

hey Robo my friend!

well, i have to admit, it was obvious that you have flown to your best...never had such a long fight against a hurri since the last two beta patches.very well done!!!
i know, that you got some good shots on me, and i was surprised by those, but fortunately, you seem to hit only surface and no vital parts...no engine, no oil or water rads, and no control surfaces either...so i assume that you got some hits on the fuselage...

well, we didnt join the second mission, cause it was a bit annoying to see the mission beeing quit suddenly, just when we were back on our way home...besides, Pitti had not only to fight you guys, but also a hangover from a 4day festival...and i didnt want to fly alone in the campaign...

falke couldnt join because of the timeout message...
i agree with the stats not beeing important....but somehow it puzzles me(although im normally not a stats whore)

Ah I see. I was afraid that you didn't know the mission was being reflown. I understand, we were also gutted and obviously LOL at Pitti.

I know you're not. I am also checking the stats to figure out what exactly has happened. I've seen you commenting on another pilot unable to join, I was quite sorry about that, you should bring more JG26 chaps in there...

Yeah the fight was alright, that itself made the mission worth flying...

Yeah, I really wasn't in flying condition that day.
I think, on the first encounter, I was on you Robo. But I totally screwed it up after you broke away.

[Osprey]

I'm not worried about stats, just about getting at the Hun.

The radar was replying to us but telling us it had found nothing each time. I checked Dunkirk rdf 3 times during the flight.

[klem]

Yes we circled and circled..... and relogged.....

and we circled and circled.... for over an hour...


My only complaint is that someone could have told us there were no bombers.....


.... so we circled and circled.....


but I accept their apologies and look forward the re-run

....and I have to remember that without guys like these we would have nothing to fly anyway, it ain't easy, so big S!

As all of You noticed stats are not working properly .... yet. That is why I put this thread up >>>

http://sowc.forumotion.co.uk/t38-server-stats

Source code of game is still not integrated in 100% with FBDJ and IL2 Commander from WildWillie. I am in touch with him but we can`t expect any update or fixes until official patches.

There is problem with OnBailOut class in the source of the game since the very release, that is why You guys cant get credit for Your kills sometimes. Please be patient and look through log files I am posting for Your name if You are not sure about Your stats.

On the other hand there will be, hopefully soon another stats software available from ATAG (Colander), but I don`t expect it before official patches as well.

Please do not rely 100% on stats page, and treat it as pictorial view.

P.S.

Excuse me for restarting server in the middle of mission it was just misunderstanding, as I was having maybe 10-15 steaks on the grill at this moment.

We had a test mission which we used to well... test the radar. This is it.



ok - this is the kind of positive report you should get from a radar:



I just tested this today on my own machine in FMB. Now we will take it to the server and test dedi there...

Can one of you red pilots tell me what angels 11 is please at least in feet if not in metres? 1100 feet?


ok so its 14 mi. = 22.5308 km

So you would then look on the map and figure out:



And the script:

    List<LocalHeadquarters> Headquarters = new List<LocalHeadquarters>{
        {new LocalHeadquarters("Luton(Eastbourne)", "CallSign24", 50000.0, 178852.52, 197246.94, 
             new ObserverStation( "Static1","A,4","B,4","C,4","D,4","E,4","A,3","B,3","C,3","D,3","E,3","A,2","B,2","C,2","D,2","E,2","A,1","B,1","C,1","D,1","E,1"))}, //Dover
 		{new LocalHeadquarters("RadPoe (Rye)", "CallSign23", 50000.0, 206102.81, 212379.97, 
            new ObserverStation( "Static37","F,6","G,6","H,6","I,6","F,5","G,5","H,5","I,5","J,5","F,4","G,4","H,4","I,4","J,4","K,4","F,3","G,3","H,3","I,3","J,3","K,3","L,3","F,2","G,2","H,2","I,2","J,2","K,2","L,2","F,1","G,1","H,1","I,1","J,1","K,1","L,1"))}, //Rye
 		{new LocalHeadquarters("Dover (Ash)", "CallSign22", 50000.0, 246758.98, 235779.38, 
            new ObserverStation( "Static38","I,7","J,7","K,8","L,8","M,11","N,11","O,11","J,6","K,7","L,7","M,10","N,10","O,10","L,5","L,6","K,6","K,5","L,6","L,5","L,4","L,3","L,2","M,9","M,8","M,7","M,6","N,9","N,8","L,10","L,11","L,12","O,9","O,8"))}, //Dover
 		{new LocalHeadquarters("Dunkirk (Woodchurch)", "CallSign32", 50000.0, 220622.50, 252385.53, 
            new ObserverStation( "Static3","A,12","B,12","C,12","D,12","E,12","F,12","G,12","H,12","I,12","J,12","K,12","A,11","B,11","C,11","D,11","E,11","F,11","G,11","H,11","I,11","J,11","A,10","B,10","C,10","D,10","E,10","F,10","G,10","H,10","I,10","J,10","A,9","B,9","C,9","D,9","E,9","F,9","G,9","H,9","I,9","J,9","A,8","B,8","C,8","D,8","E,8","F,8","G,8","A,7","B,7","C,7","D,7","E,7","F,7","G,7","A,6","B,6","C,6","D,6","E,6","B,5","C,5"))}, //Rye

So far so good. Will keep everyone updated.
