Operation "Blue Flag" - 24/7 PvP Campaign - ROUND 9 Agreed. I joined red because the numbers said red needed help. Tonight it was 8 red to 1 blue. I went to Open Conflict instead. TJ Edit: I wonder if we can get an active number of mins played per player ratio instead of the raw numbers. This would tell you the 299 red are way more active than the 4xx blue players and might show you that blue actually needs more help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can CTLD spawn (unhide) a group of units at an objective based upon numbers? I.E. if it's heavy 2:1 red, all blue objectives now have extra defenses (maybe a TOR or two?) As you get further into blue territory the defenses increase. So if you push to whatever base is south of Senanki you now have an sa3, sa10, couple of TORs, maybe even a ship to contend with? Only if numbers were unbalanced. Once numbers go back closer to 1:1 these units despawn (hide?) TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Operation "Blue Flag" - 24/7 PvP Campaign - ROUND 9 The capture zone is quite large if it's still the same from the previous version. I wonder if: a) they took the wrong troops (only standard troops can capture) or b) if enemy troops spawned when you closed the farp. The enemy troops must be killed before you can cap. I'll check it out later and see if we can move standard troops. But I'd bet one of the above reasons were why you couldn't cap the farp. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a bug that heatblur have acknowledged. You can drop it from this thread and discuss it on the HB forums. I'm positive that Hollywood and Aborted and myself are doing it correctly. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

West side doesn't suck. Blue just hasnt had any luck going north and taking Sochi back over. Figure your neutral zone was designed to be north of Sochi and the west now looks better. I wonder if we need some more farps north of gudata to help encourage action there? I can hear cribobs fingers groaning from the thought of creating more farps. :) I love how this map moved the farps southwest of Beslan and on down to Oni. There is a lot of good action there!

I concur this is an issue at roadbases for red. Did you have your video at an airbase? I can't watch it yet. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't played today but yesterday it was silky smooth. Even with DL on. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Remember, you can't move (or adjust settings of) anything that was spawned prior to you joining the server. Now that persistence units are a thing, this maybe what you are running into. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Operation "Blue Flag" - 24/7 PvP Campaign - ROUND 9 I'd love to give the mirage to Blue and try it. I still think after mulling it over for an hour or so that it would be a good idea. I do think something would then need to be done about the fuel imbalance but let's give it a whirl and see what happens. TJ Edit: and I agree on CAS. Nothing compares to the attack platform of the a10c. Not so sure on helos. I don't think the ten to fifteen knot difference in the Huey and mi8 make it worth it for both sides. I wish the gazelle could carry more ammo. Would be fun for Blue to have their own strike helo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't played since Cribob made the last updates. I assume the Mirage is still fully fueled and the su27 empty. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd be up for trying it. What do you do with fuel? TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Operation "Blue Flag" - 24/7 PvP Campaign - ROUND 9 Thanks for exactly making my point. Both have su25t. Both have hogs. Both have Huey's. both have gazelles. Both (agreed annoyingly) have Mirage. Why aren't the fc3 fighters mixed up to? TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The US has four su27s if you believe wiki... I'll take four slots in blue please. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure the cooperative play and lives system is what sets this server apart from others. If you think this is really an east v west server than you need to promote getting the mi8 back to red and getting rid of the Mirage and gazelle from red. Bring something with a little more substance to the fight next time. Thanks. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd be up to discussing Blue having ka50. Could they also get the su27? TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't disagree with this statement at all. It is getting a little too tough to take out the middle ground farps. I do agree this might be awesome in 2.x where you can't fly into trees, but right now it's painfully difficult to find these units. It was before too, but now there is added emphasis to place them. Red having the ka50 which shows them on the abris is also unfair but I'm not sure if we can do anything about it. Give blue ka50 maybe? TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you help me understand why you'd need a jtac up for that long? Typically you throw one up and close the base or farp within an hour or two. I was kind of thinking that they should be removed when you cap the objective. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. That's where persistence bites you. I like to drop iglas right outside of the enemy farp/base before we capture it. Then we cap it and it stays there forever. We've even been known to do this with sa6s. :) Makes it super easy to repair as they are typically right down the road. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lemoen called it. The jtac solves this problem and makes it pretty easy. I really enjoy the added difficulty in farp capture as it requires you to be strategic in what you carry in the helo. Jtac makes it easy but your gonna have to wait five to ten mins to then be able to spawn at the farp (it has to repair before you can spawn.) If you need immediate re spawn you take a repair crate but that means you better be good at wild weasels to find those dudes. Or you take a Huey with door gunners. I also really love the new repair timers as they prevent you from "taking everything out but a truck" and leaving the truck for the helo. Now that tactic no longer works which I think makes it that much harder as you really have to coordinate now. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've actually wondered if we could limit the crates you could carry via weight instead of "just one." For instance, you could bring a jtac and a stinger but you couldn't bring a launcher and a radar. You probably shouldn't be able to bring a jtac and a repair crate. You could carry two stingers. Etc etc. TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I gave up arguing with you yesterday. You clearly dont understand the deficiencies the SU27 has against the head on M2k. I also gave up arguing for DL as Cribob already made it clear he is working on it to address the deficiencies. I think we can put this one to bed for the time being. TJ

We need a way to clear out the persistent units... Maybe when you take over a whole PAK the enemy units are cleared? Or maybe when you take an objective anything within a 20km radius is cleared? I dont have a good answer but I've seen KUBs stay put now for days with no ammo.. Blue now owns all of PAK3 with the exception of Nalchick and MV but all the kub sites / iglas are cluttering up the map even though they have been out of ammo for ages (Im watching a10s and blue m2ks fly over without being engaged.)

Next discussion point: Random Failures to ON Thoughts? TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info and the hard work! I was actually planting a seed for a later round. Maybe for a later round, I'd look at that bomber script you use. Could it be modified to spawn an awacs when one is shot down? Other servers seem to utilize awacs without issue, but I know your server is unique... the 104th has a similar setup with moving vehicles as well. I wonder what they are doing differently and if there is something we could leverage at BF. All thoughts for another round! Thank you for your hard work on this round!
