1st Multisquad Campaign Battle of Britain

[ATAG_Bliss]

Had a good time ourselves. Don't know about the red side of the house, but us in blue bombers made it back safely. We did have some TS problems (kept getting disconnected etc.) on Jg27 server, but it did get better in the end.

Had no crashes or issues in game, only had lower FPS on the airfield, which seems normal for the amount of planes there.

It was nice to see another organized pairing by the reds in last minute fashion again

FPS was pretty low at TO due to the number of players (maybe the cause of several LE crashes?). I wonder if it would be possible to spread the groups over more airfields and associate them with a particular fighter type? It took a long time to get airborne which scuppered the plans for our Spits to form up and intercept at altitude ASAP.

I'm assuming reds did it like last time. Each flight group was assigned a leader, and all the leaders were setup in whisper. So you could either talk to your own channel, as a leader, or you could talk to all the flight leaders to relay info.

I don't need to know politics, I'm only interested in us having an organised defence against the Hun. The Hurricanes on taxi did indeed look marvellous and I know who the Spits were - next week I'll assign one of our senior chaps to take control of a Spitfire group by re-opening No.64 Squadron and dragging a few of them in. No.501 will take a hit on a couple of pilots in order to achieve this, it's a small gamble but we did get 10 in yesterday.

So for the mission chaps.....

There were just 2 of III./JG27 participating, due to the wide spread experience with the launcher.exe problem and we two were expecting to crash out any second, so it was hard to enjoy the flight or take it seriously (you don´t care so much anymore when you expect to crash any second). We were just two 109 so barely enough to contribute or achieve the objectiv of an advanced sweep over Dover. Anyhow, we took off and climbed to 6400m. On the way to Dover we were disctracted by some lonely LW planes flying around here and there. Over Dover it was all quiet and clear until it became appearant, that all the bombers were on a low level raid and no more will come on heights I thought they would. So we dived down, I scared a Spit of 3 Do17s and that seemed to be all. Later we went further down, to investigate was going on there around Dover. There I helped a bleeding 109 and scared off a Hurricane of his tail, when I was attacked by another Hurricane, I could evade and the Hurricane spun into the channel after a few (not serious) hits. Then a string of Hurricanes came down on me and there was no more getting away. My squadmate had an AAA hit and so I had to fight it out and ended in a collision, lost 0,5 wing but limped off closer to the coast, so I wouldn´t have to swim that far.

My experience is that more then 4 (6max) players on one comm-channel is more a nuisance than a help and it is hard to structure and organize groups (whisper keys to channel commanders etc) and we usaully communicate in our mother tongue, that`s why we stayed on our own TS.

Thanks for your work 5.JG27, it is a good start.

Ah, Osprey, just worked out who was in the spits myself

My apologies Untamo, I was talking total usage and I just rechecked. I'm sure I have seen 3.8Gb total in the past but of course there may havebeen other things running. Here's my breakdown as of now:

Windows only: 1.54Gb
Plus Teamspeak (+0.3Gb): 1.57Gb
Plus TS Notifier (+0.01Gb): 1.58Gb
Plus CoD...
in Menus (+0.3Gb): 1.88Gb
or
in Server Map Room (+1.37Gb) 2.95Gb
or
in spawned Hurricane MkI (1.54Gb) 3.12Gb and VRAM was 1.044Gb
That's with the channel map but I haven't looked while flying around.

I didn't crash to desktop in this round

my rig:

AMD Phenom II x6
ATI Radeon HD5770
6 GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 64bit.

All settings high except ground details. Unlike last time I did had some FPS trouble over Dover. But that might have been because I ran into 20 enemy aircraft

We organised Flight leaders to have a whisper key with all the Flight leaders on it. It worked fine, we all knew how to do it, but if there are flights on some other TS we are wasting our time. I didn't even realise the SYN guys were flying.

Sorry guys but if we can't even agree on a comms server then why are we bothering with these scenarios? The whole point is to work together with a plan oherwise you may as well jump onto any old server and play your own game. I really don't have time for 'I wont talk to him'. You're spoiling it for everyone else.

I understand there's some 'history' so why are we using the ATAG TS? Why not the Jg27 one provided? Or would you like me to try to find another one?

Again really enjoyed the mission.

The procession of Hurricanes taxiing at Hawkinge was great.

The combat also felt very realistic, getting from a sky full of planes to an empty one in a matter of few minutes.

The new sounds are amazing, hearing a Spit land just after me back at Hawkinge while sitting at the dispersal really sounded and looked lifelike.

Had a few stutters at take-off and when bouncing the Stukas.

No crashes in two sessions, my specs are below and I run the sim at med-high settings.
