In the near future! Follow the news.

I welcome you gentlemen pilots!
Community Forum pilots sukhoi.ru invites you to participate in a friendly transaction "Evil Hedgehog 2"
Rough Sketch mission is:

1.Blue team attacked a convoy of ships, and red team it should protect. Or are likely to surface targets.
2. Number of participants 50 to 50. All in one lifetime! The estimated number of participants, as it all depends on your activity. Well if you have about 50 pilots.
3. The red fighters (30 Hurricane, 20 Spitfire) in blue 20 Ju-87 and 30 Bf-109 fighters of different modifications. The number of ships in the convoy 20, the destruction of which 15 are considered to be sufficient to win the mission. Once again it's all about the draft and the objectives to be refined as well as the number and type of aircraft parties.
4. Red or siniyu side by lot chosen captains of each team. You've got to be prepared to defend and defend. You can certainly fly and 2 times for each side, but I do not think it would be fun.

I need you to captain your team. Conditionally be called yellow_team.
Your captain has to collect and record the participants. It is desirable for a week, a maximum of two to determine the number of players on each side. This will determine the number of targets and the color of our teams.

I apologize for the terrible translation. Later will be a professional translation.

Cool idea. I read other details somewhere else and may I have a hurricane and a Stuka (or an Me 109/B if avaliable) slot for 1C please?

This kind of combat is going to be epic and large. Can't wait for it. Good luck trying to get all the pilots needed for it

Updated the first post. We are in for a great fight!)))

And how do those 50 RAF's will be implemented... 6 at a time ?...Big Wing?...Kamikaze?...How do the Fighter Command WILL know that BLUE'll go after the ships? HUH?

nynek

Im ready at 1C side :cool:

If is possible i will in Bf-109. Or if will few pilots - i can fly STuka too. But Bf is priority. Thnx for understanding.

The mission is designed for 1.5 - 2 hours. The time and date have not yet agreed.

Attachment 11371 Attachment 11372

Haven't you joined yet? C'mon guys!
It will be fun and awesome;)
Just imagine 50 vs 50:shock: Get on comms, choose your captain, divide all these people into small groups as you wish and so on.

I want to mention that the side will be chosen by drawing. That's why you need a capitain:grin:
So be ready to fight on every plane available!

Would need to know what day/time due to storm of war.

Czech and Slovak virtual pilots (from the ATAG server) are ready to join the party.

Count with some ten people i.e. one czecho-slovak unit please (JG1 Baron included but red side is okey for us as well ;-)

Approximately the storm will begin in 2 weeks. Don't worry, you will be informed when mission is ready.

Aloha gentleman,

I would fly aswell, on 1c.eu! Ole!
As long as i`m not on one of those boats....:-D

Saludos!

What i meant was sow is 8pm sat and sunday. So cant play at these times and we get 90 odd poeple so you'd be better off avoiding those times

Will 1C fly for Brits or Germans?

The event will take place in the evening or late afternoon presumably. Of what time zone? If Russians from Vladivostok will make an arrangement with Americans from the West Coast people from the EU might have a little problem. Most of us go to work at 7 UTC or CET ;-)

The plan is to have a couple rounds (don't know how many yet) with both sides alternating sides.

I have no honest idea on timing and the date but it can not be during the week for me unless it is Friday in the afternoon for me due to school (EST). I'm thinking the best solution to this would be a Saturaday with somewhere in Europe at noon so the Russians will be flying before bedtime essentially, Europeans at Midday, and Americans in the morning (I'm an American and I'm fine with getting up early even though I'm probably the youngest dedicated full real pilot here. :-P).

I think we should also create a sign up thread for people to join that I can create but I wish to know the specific number of each variant that we have and then we can draw up a course of action (sent by PM's of course so no Russian spies can get in on our plan ;))

S!
Eagle, Master of Stealth

What Twitch channel is this going to be Streamed on?
Dip78?

Thx Stealth Eagle

Yes, it is. Twitch and Dip78 are channels for streaming.

I think timing will be as you said. It should be convenient for the majority of people around the world:)
Also you, guys, need to create the list of participators with mentioning of their preferred time and side (blue or red).

AND http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...EGA-Battle!!!-))) look post #12

I'll create a sign up topic if you are able to give me the number and variants of the aircraft. I am personally wanting a Hurricane and Stuka Flight lead spots. Can't do it this weekend due to a different commitment and same with next one. Maybe early December will be good?

There will be all types of planes on the red side. Blue team has ju-87 and bf109. But the quantity of planes is in aspect as follows: ubers-little, middle-more, weak-the most (or more then little) :grin:

I think that this event will be taken on the last decade of November.

Do you think it could work to have it on the first of December since the last full week of November is Thanksgiving for Americans and some (including myself) may be out of town?

My personal suggestion for the aircraft thing would be the following:

Red:
20 Hurricane MK I (Rotal)
10 Hurricane MK I (100 octane)
10 Spitfire IA (100 octane)
10 Spitfire IIA

Blue:
20 Ju-87B-2 Stuka
10 Me-109E-4
20 Me-109E-1/3


Does anyone else have an idea for this as well? The reason the Me-109E-1/3 is split like that is because some people have personal preference between the two and they are fairly similar besides the weapon change. The amount of high performance Spits can be reduced through request and can you pass this on to sukhoi.ru and see if they like this since I can't speak russian (or at least fluently).

S!
Eagle

Yes, the list is about the aircraft.
The mission will be carried out one time in late November or early December. Time TBD. With a choice of hand for what will fly and yellow_tem sukhoi_tem will know when you push the captain. Our and your captain will hold a draw and then it becomes clear who is red and who is blue.

The event date will be agreed by organizers with counting of american holidays. I think we will cross in opinions of dating.
The aircraft list is quite good.
As for me all British planes are ubers :grin: Just joking. The best plane is the plane with best pilot. Anyway waiting for other suggestions here and on sukhoi forum.


And the most important thing is the list of participators as I mentioned above. We need to know exact amount of people for creating of the mission and putting targets on the map.
Sign up here or on ATAG forum.

Do you think you can see if Sukhoi is happy with that list or if they want some adjustments for it? If anyone here as well has a change selection, go ahead and post it please. As far as I know, I don't think we have a team captain yet but I'll probably create a sign up thread for it and ask somewhat for a vote on who to be leader that everyone will be able to listen to.

I'm going to create 2 new threads for sign ups with the original threads left for discussion so it isn't cluttered with sign ups. Another thing we'll need to do is assign a Team Captain for this forum whcih we can do on the sign ups thread. I'll try to keep track of it to the best of my ability for the sign ups. One last question for you guys: Do we need to form 2 teams for both sides or just 1 for one side? I'll let you guys see the sign up thread and correct any mistakes that I make.


Mods, can you please add (Discusions Only) to the thread title and sticky it please?

You can create list as it was done on sukhoi: who fly both sides, red only and blue only.
For example:

Yellow_team (universalists):
1. Stealth_Eagle
2. Valec
3. ATAG_Krupi
4. 310_Cibule
...

Reserve (Luftwaffe only):
1. ATAG_Colander
2. ATAG_Doc
...

Reserve (RAF only):
1. Pomidor
2. 71st_AH_Macro
... and so on

C'mon, yellow team, be more active! ;)

Me and Maler are from sukhoi forum and more or less agree with this list of planes. Anyway it was posted on sukhoi. We'll see what people say.

Any response from Sukhoi?

Come on Yellow Team, we don't want to just hand the Russians victory. :evil:
(Sorry if that offended anyone but if needed, I or a mod will edit it out)

So... I can not subscribe to the list, because the ATAG forum does not allow me to. :evil:

There is also a sign up thread here on 1C.

People just signing up. I think they agree with these planes.

Have you chosen a captain?
I think it will take too much time with that voting and democracy :grin:;)

Dear Friends,

Our squadron =Agulhas Negras= are interested in join this!
We can fly for RED side, basically Spitfires, ~9 pilots.

Do u already have a date?

Thx,

=AN=Bluesman

No but I asked for nomination for captains. I have a couple more people to add from ATAG but I haven't been on my PC yet. I personally think that I should have no right in choosing team captain since of the variety of people signed up and of my youth (I'm only 16 :-P). However, there should be only 1 requirement, they speak English so that most (if not all) understand who ever is leading.

No date is firmly set yet but I'll add you guys in the rooster. Is there a specific variant that you want to fly as?

S!

Eagle

Thx Eagle,

If Spit IIA is inside u planeset, we take it! But we fly all variants.

Att,

=AN=Bluesman

The list of the planes is confirmed.
The date of the event is confirmed. 01.12.2012


Come on Yellow team! Where are such pilots as Valec, Pomidor, ATAG, 6./JG26, 71st_AH_, AKA? :grin:

71st are playing storm of war. I said this earlier in the thread and need to know what time this is played at. If conflicts with sow then we cant play but if not then we may well play

Don't worry =vit_unit=, valec, people from the ATAG and some others are enlisted at the ATAG forum already.

More are welcomed.

Stealth Eagle is our captain (if he accepts the nominaton)

5./JG27, 6./JG26, 9./ZG26, No.64 and No.501 are all members of Air Combat Group. ACG are running the 3rd Multisquadron campaign right now on the ACG Storm of War server. It's been running for the past 3 weekends and will continue up to Xmas at least. Valec flies with No.501 in this. It's not just us but also 56RAF, 71st_AH, 91sqn, LLv34, 101 (RHAF, Tom's crew), No.401, JG4 and some others. So you aren't going to get any of those pilots from 1930 to 2100 on Saturday or Sunday nights at least. Macro has been trying to tell you guys this for the duration of this thread but it appears nobody has listened.

The campaign we are running is historical, chronological and very immersive since we are very organised with command. Any crew that doesn't want a random low alt furball and would like an objective should really be knocking on these doors:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=35351
http://sowc.forumotion.co.uk/

If you are a pilot who is not in a crew and is interested in getting involved in this sort of thing then ACG are recruiting for both our RAF and Luftwaffe factions. We even have a German speaking 109 squadron (6./JG26) and a Bf110 crew (9./ZG26). We are recruiting, we are friendly, we do take beginners and experience pilots alike, we have squadrons for all aircraft types, we do train.

ACG are at:
http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/
Just drop by our TS or forums, or PM me.

~S~ Osprey
CO No.501 ACG

Osprey, it is probably Saturday or Sunday nights CET or UTC, isn't it?

Angry Hedgehog will be flown by many Americans and Russians thus should be coordinated with good timing so that we all will be able to participate.

i.e. provided UTC is 0, USA is minus 5 to 8 hours and Russia plus 6 at least. The only possible chance to start is about 4 PM UTC I suppose.

Or the whole event might be postponed to the beginning of the next year (Operation Bodenplatte ;-))

OK cool, I didn't see a time so from what I understand this would all occur in the Russian evening rather than the UK evening, in which case there is no clash. SOWC has takeoff @ 2000GMT Saturday and Sunday nights.

thanks.

Would it be possible to move the date a week back since that is right in the middle of my exam schedule?

Maybe it's time to hold the draw? Determine who is which side will fly.

Maybe we need to keep intrigue till the end:grin:

Gratuated some 25 years ago though I support this request My family doesn't like the above mentioned date much.

Let's set up a concrete date of the event! Your suggestion was 01.12. Or you mean date of drawing?

I am an idiot. I read it like an American (I am an American) but in reality it was supposed to have been read like the rest of the world (oh how I love my country for not switching). That date will work for me but we may not have enough pilots. We have a squad and a small group of equal size for other flights. So we may need to push it back some as well due to that and I guess I'll accept the nomination for Team Captain. I think we have 18 pilots for red but less for blue. I'll try to find more people to do such.

So we have 24.11, 01.12 and 08.12 that is the last date we can set.
Make your chose;)
Is it suitable to begin operation at 08.12?

People began to worry about that.

Dear Friends,

Where and how can I subscribe my squadron (=AN=)?

=AN=Bluesman

http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...Sign-Up-Thread

or

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=35989

Do we know what time this is to be played at yet?

I think this may need to hold off due to a lack of yellow pilots. We have about half the needed pilots for Red and less so for Blue. I can see what I can do but I don't think it will be possible due to a lack of pilots. Maybe move to January? The weekend of 19/1/2013 will work for me best. This will give me time and able to set up a strategy for our forces. :( Just please sign up if you can and we may move the date.

S!

Eagle

It's too long to wait((
I suggest to meet each other in ATAG TS for drawing and choosing time and date of event. Let's meet on 01/12/2012 at ... What is your time zone? 9:00 a.m. (+4GMT) Is it good for you?

I think I'll be able to do that but are you guys fully signed up since we only have half the number of pilots to be able to do such for either side. We need more pilots but there is no present way that I am aware of to get a lot of pilots rapidly. I'll be able to add one if a friend of mine is available but I don't know. Time zone for me is EST so I think that is correct for it to be at 9 A.M. for me. I'll probably talk to some squad leads that I know and I'll see what I am capable of doing to raise us up in numbers. I really hate putting this off but I must remain focused with my studies. Also, I think it will be best if we continue chatting via PMs so it can be a little more quieter somewhat.

Peace,

Eagle

An update...
 

Sorry for not having time to update this but some updates have been made. I will be contacting everyone in the forum again that posted interest in this event that didn't formally sign up. If you do that, that will make my life a whole lot easier.

The event day is 22/12/12 and we are flying for the British RAF. I am needing Spitfire and Hurricane pilots to fill out some slots that are open and I presently have a workable plan for us to use. Just need to get more people to join in and then it will work. I will be updating the sign up thread to show squadron strength and formation. If you have any questions regarding it, please PM me.

Let's show that the end of the days is postponed on uncertain date :cool:

Just for resolving time zone misunderstanding...
You offered to compete at 10:00 AM EST...
Does that mean that, for example, New York time is 10:00 AM?

Yes, that is correct, Vit.

As Snapper has said, that would be correct. Time to go update the sign up thread and surprise a couple people. :grin:
