Wolv, your idea has merits, but isn't exactly what we're trying to accomplish. We need something seperate from a public server to really get into squadron flights. Random elements (newbie pilots spawn crashing, people already in the air vulching, people jumping your flights, friendly killing) are just too many variables for systems like that to work on the highest pop server out there now!

We do not encourage lone wolves, but for sake of pulling the community together, allowed it this time. Next campaign will be more strict on squadrons only.

WOW IF I WANT TO PLAY JOIN A CLAN ! LONE WOLVES, VULCHING, JUMPINGING IN FIGHTS = BS MOST OF US TEAM PLAYERS DONT DO THIS .WE FLY WINGMAN TACTICS, AN IN GROUPS .I PERSONALLY NEVER VULCH!!! YOU WANT TO EXCLUDE CERTAIN PLAYERS FINE .BUT MAKING US JOIN A CLAN TO PLAY IS B.S-----SIGNED JUST A TEAM PLAYER!!!!

Not putting words in cheesehawks mouth but I wonder if he means that all players will have to form into Squads in the missions to play in them, even if they don't belong to a CoD Squad, and will not be allowed to fly alone doing just whatever they please (=lonewolf). Of course existing CoD Squads will want to fly as a complete unit in one of the mission Squads but most of them are willing to have lone players along to build effective numbers. No reason why say 10 lone players shouldn't form one of the mission Sqauds either as long as they follow 'the plan' and don't just bog off doing whatever they please.

I suspect he doesn't mean that individuals can't join, just that they must be prepared to join a mission Squad and follow the Squad commanders instructions. Otherwise, why bother to join in a campaign like this?

Basically you are aiming at a similar concept as I did, when I started working on a July-Campaign. You will not get large number of players on a regular base with shorter intervalls (I even think 1 week intervall is too short) in my opinion, therefore I decided to go for AI engagement to provide coordinated opposition. I currently put my work on hold due to missing spare-time, motivation and the RAF Radio bug fix, but I will put the files public the day the bug is fixed, so you can use the basic script if interested.

I'm hoping that's exactly what was meant, too. JT, flying with you on the ATAG server has been an education for me -- and I've been flying online since Air Warrior 2. Specifically: ammo loadouts, fuel loadouts, fighter tactics, and most recently the re-installation of Cliffs of Dover to reduce CTD's, stuttering, etc. You've generously shared your techniques -- reflected by your high kill ratios nightly -- with each of us flying with you. To top it off, we've shared some pretty poor jokes over Teamspeak to pass the time it takes to gain alt over the Channel.

From this Canuck "hoser" to this Indiana "Hoosier", I'd be proud to fly as your #2 anytime.

I agree completely with snapper,i have learned lots of needed info from JT and Sniper and fly with them when i can.I am not with any group per say but when i join up with a squad i try my best to follow their lead and not lone wolf my way around.I hope this is just a miss understanding as i enjoy my sunday flights.
