Cheers as always

I think I had screwed up on the submission. All the bombers are from 6000m-8000m. I think I can work some more in now that we've got a rotation going on. It should be, at the very least, back to what it's been running for the last couple weeks

Thanks for the feedback.

I could be wrong though and it won't be the first time, i just remember it being discussed at some point recently
Spot on

That was the theory anyway.

Sorry about that. Damn military time Fixed.

There's equal amounts of bomber flights for both reds and blues (12 groups in total in 1.5 hours - 6 on each side) The majority of them (both sides) run just north, south, or in line with the 2 shipping lanes to destroy the forward airfields.

Thanks as always Bliss, yeah the hi alt bombers are good for mixing it up, but in moderation please! Its awesome seeing a flight of stukas below you zooming in low over the cliffs then swooping down to bomb hawkinge! A good mix of altitudes is key i think.

Plus is it possible to script in flights of 109's to escort some of the bombers? Maybe once each rotation a large flight of say 12 bombers escorted by 2 or 3 AI 109'?

Cheers mate, as always your hard work is much appreciated!

Recon.

That sort of stuff should be really easy to do. No need to script them in, just adding their waypoints in FMB to the existing bomber sub-mission will suffice. The despawn eventhandler script will take care of them if/when they land.

I guess it's up to them if they want to do that though.

Please don't put in AI escorts.

It's up to the pilots online to escort those bombers, I feel. In the same way putting the bombers at altitude tries to get players to fly higher, no escorts kind of tries to get players to fly proper missions instead of just fighter sweeps and dog fights over airfields at 1000ft.

If you blue pilots are content to let your bombers come at us unescorted, don't go crying to Goering that they all got shot down

Not to mention the fighter ai routines are still pretty bad....

I quite the server last night after three attempts to take off were thwarted by a Blue Furball raking the spits before they could get off the ground.

I know this happened in history, fair enough, but if you've just spent a few minutues starting yer spit in full CEM then it does get a tad annoying having to repeat the procedure again and again cos some furball is 'base camping'.

So....I know Mr Bliss can't prevent this from happening on ATAG but would the pilots who fly there take endeavour to allow pilots to at least get off the ground before giving them a good spanking.....as a matter of honour?!!

i love it when a 109 comes flying over, but not time after time. im guilty of strafing 109 and 110's, but only the once then do a runner. after all, need more peeps on the server not good making people quit in frustration!

New TS3 server is up. I'm surprised at how good the voice quality is. I must admit, it sounds better than vent now. We are running it off our dedi machine (10gbps up/down) and have it set up for up to 500 clients.

Everyone is free to use it for w/e games you play. If any squads would like their own channels (passworded etc.) just let me know.

The new slimline approach you have taken in your missions has really paid off and improved performance on my end... Nice work guys, I can fly in ATAG server again!

TS3 worked great for me yesterday. I turned down my engine sound to about 25% in the Main Menu and that permitted me to hear other players as clearly as if they were in the next room. Teamed up with "tyxxxx" (both in Spit Ia's) over the Channel to mix it up with 2 109's. Noticed my Spit seemed a little sluggish - possibly due to two huge holes in my port wing.....or maybe it was the missing aileron. LOL Plus tyxxxx informed me I was trailing smoke -- a good time to withdraw. Heading back to Hawkinge with tyxxxx flying top cover I was jumped by a 109; possibly one of the Channel Luftwaffe crew that spotted my smoke trail. The beauty of Teamspeak came into play when tyxxxx called "Break NOW" and I watched cannon tracer streak by to starboard as I veered to port. Tyxxxx chased the 109 off my tail, paving the way clear for Hawkinge. Or so I thought. A 3rd Spitfire formed up on my tail......and riddled me with .303's!!!!!!

As I skillfully manoeuvred my stricken Spit into a smoking hole in the earth, I related this turn of events to tyxxxx still giving chase to the 109. The audio fidelity of TS3 once again proved itself as I could distinctly hear tyxxxx chuckling and saying "Well, that sucks!"
