Thanks. That was a Steam disconnect. In some cases it requires manual restart and than servers could be down for several hours. Now all 3 are up again.

Thank you for your comments and feedback.
Bomber groups are of cause balanced in terms of bomber quantities per side. Script selects sub-missions randomly and this is why you may see several red missions in a row sometimes but then several blue missions. Also if you fly mostly for one side you will usually meet bombers of the opposing side.

~S~ form 3GIAP and give our regards to 335th_GRTamel. We had a lot of great time with 335th in VEF2.

Please check out Repka #4 server tonight. It is our test server we put up from time to time.

It runs a script form a member of the dev team where tanks move frontline and airfields change their side accordingly.

To finetune the mission I need your feedback on the following:
- ground battle intensity: should in be reduced or increased
- what you like about the mission
- what can be added to make things better

AI aircraft temporally switched off to test ground war exclusively.

Do not take off close to frontline or you could be vulched by a tank. (like here :grin: ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exlofp86CoU
Probably you can not take off from a captured airfield till next patch anyway due to a game bug.

Its nice the REPKA server, I always enter there because I have a good ping there and there's a lot of people, but I would disable the external views and the automatic pilot.
A video of your server ;)

Thanks for sharing!

Repka #1 has externals and autopilot off.

Why do you think autopilot should be off? I think AI can not fly as good as humans anyway?

Autopilot will be off after next restart on #3 too.

A friend of mine told me that Autopilot helps you when you have a stall, for example. I havent tested it yet

So it would not be that god to ask for changes on things you have not tried yourself, right? ;)


Just on the autopilot thing, since I also have not tried it myself either, what does it do (or not do)?



Regarding external views, I like external views, they allow the magic of this game to come to realisation!
On the other side however, the "external view nearast enemy" gives an unfair advantage during dogfight.
IMHO "external view" is good, "enemy/friendly rotating view" (CTRL/SHIFT-F2) is good, "external view nearest enemy" is less good.

haha I was actually trying, and yes It helps you ;)
It helps you when you have a stall

There was never a stall I did not get out from with my own skill (unless I was in a flat spin P-39 or P-38 :( ) Anyway, autopilot is not my cup, not my problem...


31 pilots on the REPKA server tonight, running like a dream! Congrats!


~S~

PS. ehem... that cannon on those ships seems a bit low (just behind the ships' propeller...) or the torpedo tubes seem seriously overmodelled ;)

Last night I flew in your server, 30 pilots, wow :)
Thanks, Its a pity that the people fly in that server with external views but well it could be worse haha
