Full-scale airwar on REPKA server

[SEE]

I had another quick session (only player). The axis ground forces were moving from the beach head. I mistook allied ground units for axis but there was no message to say 'Player XXXXX destroyed friendly.......'.

When I realised my mistake and headed towards the Axis ground units they killed me virtually straight away...(they are pretty awesome!).

Does the player get awarded kills for enemy ground units destroyed (I couldn't get close enough to find out being the only target ) ?

I will have a better idea of how the mission works regards Radar messages and enemy AI when I have another session later with more players.

This mission certainly poses some tactical thinking regards dealing with enemy ground forces advancing on strategic airfields given the likelyhood of attack from enemy fighters above you. The Flak around Hawking was enemy not friendly so you have no idea what is above - only what is below.

Looking forward to another crack at this one and for anyone else.....take care when lifting off at one of the inland bases, there is a railway line on the airfield perimeter just waiting to rip your undercarraige off!

Server statistics will be implemented later.

Check a map often to see where a frontline is at the moment. Axis tanks have very good AAA cover. It is very hard to take them out when flying alone.

Guys, could you help with translation into British English from Russian English please?

Or maybe we display Axis briefing in German only for immersion?
Why not, please translate Axis part in German if you can.

We launch a surprise counter-offensive aimed to undermine the Axis' Operation Sea Lion. We must land our ground troops in France to force Axis turning their ships back to mainland. Do your best to help our ground forces taking enemy ground and protecting your own. Quantity of available Spitfire IIa and Bf-109E4 depends on number of airfields you control. Fight harder to deny enemy using superior aircraft.

* Fighters, escort your ships to France and intercept enemy bombers attacking your ships at all costs!
* Bombers, sink enemy ships approaching your coast.
---------------------------------------
The mission uses a resource management system. Destroy enemy supply chain to stop their attack. Eliminating bigger supply ships stops landing barges operations. Destroying landing barges slows ground units advancement. Play smart and have fun!

Congratulations! Operation Sea Lion has finally begun! We must land our ground troops in Britain and force the Allies to surrender. Do your best to help our ground forces taking enemy ground and protecting your own. Quantity of available Spitfire IIa and Bf-109E4 depends on number of airfields you control. Fight harder to deny enemy using superior aircraft.

* Fighters, escort your ships to Britain and intercept enemy bombers attacking your ships at all costs!
* Most recent intelligence reports say that enemy started a counter-offensive to undermine our attack but we are well prepared to it. Bombers, sink enemy ships approaching your coast quick and help our ground forces in Britain.

External views are set to OFF finally on Repka #1. (after next restart)

The mission is still in beta, will get a new version hopefully next week.

May we have a german speaking channel as well?

I really enjoy to fly on Repka#1, big THUMBS UP!

Ataros, please drop me a line if you still need help to translate anything english to german. Will be a pleasure to help.

TS channels are done, look in the end of the channel list. You are welcome to use it!

Thank you for your offer. R1 mission is done by Small_Bee and I do not think he will be able to include multi-language support at least before the mission is more or less finalised and fine-tuned (he is slowly but surely working on major revision to v.2.0 now).

It is possible to include a briefing in German however. I guess the filename must have a _de.briefing suffix to be shown in German but I am not sure. If you would like to try it here is a briefing text in English which you can translate into German (do not translate the tags in brackets [ ] or < >).

The role of the RAF is to protect and assist our ground forces. This includes ground forces that are en-route, those protecting strategic coastal locations (if under attack) and ground forces that have successfully landed in France.

An update on R1 mission scripts from Small_Bee. Translated with Prompt translator.

The small report on progress of work on statistics.

At present work on information gathering in a database and its interpretation is almost finished. There were small technical completions, and to make a website. The site skeleton is ready too, it is necessary to fill with tables and other.

That it is possible to expect from statistics in the first version.

1. The account of the general time spent by the player on the server - is broken into "sessions" - from connection before switching-off with indication of the reason of switching-off.

2. The account of flight-time . I.e. from occurrence in the plane to an exit and from launch till landing \wreck.

3. The statistics can be looked in general, and divided on sessions \departures, and as on the party (red \dark blue) or to the countries.

4. Statistics of a flight - it is painted on time that when have made - when have flied up, at whom have fired and than, what damages have put. Concerning the put \received damages to departure process stats there will be enough the general (a quantity of hits, than and the put damages), but on each plane after flight end it is possible to look in detail - which damages have been received. It is made what not to overload base - too much information.

5. Division of victories on personal and victories in group.

6. Addition of points both for planes, and for ground units. Points are divided into three groups - fighter (shooting on planes), ground attack and bombing (bombs on everything).

7. The quantity of the added points depends on type of the target and a condition of the player and its plane at the moment of flight end. Concerning planes also depends on a condition of a victim. For example for the plane which not received critical damages and has landed in the airdrome, points won't be added. But if the plane falls in the field in the territory, points will be added in a bit smaller volume. For compulsion to landing of the damaged plane in enemy territory on the contrary, will be extra points.

8. In addition points are added for the killed crewmen of the plane and if it there was a player, more points are given.

10. Victories can will be added both to pilots, and gunners if they have together put sufficient damages to the brought down plane.

11. Almost all logic of calculation of points and other is put into stored procedures database. I.e. is open and can be easily modified.

12. Possibility of localization of almost any data-texts which will be taken out on a site.

13. Simple connection of statistics to any existing mission. It is not necessary to modify own logic of missions practically.

Here and so in brief. It will be a little similar to FBDj Stats as this statistics very much is pleasant to me.

Good news especially for bombers
