=BURNING SKIES= WWII Server

[LeCuvier]

The problem that WWII flak units are not in the game yet, and nor Third Reich coalition neither

any Axis country have any AAA units. I'll try to hack the mission and add temporary add Germany just to have some modern AAA until WWII units come. There was a mod somewhere on the forum which allow you to do so via UI..

I'm sure there was flak at Utah Beach today! We were two and both of us were shot at

Hi eekz,

 

is it possible to make a automatic frindly fire kick from the server?

It is not funny to get shot down from own forces over and over again, only because some ....... dont whant to learn ID. And even new player of this or other flight sims can easy learn ID. We all had to learn this lesson, but as the numbers of the old generation simflyer go lower and the new generation warthunder pilots come over it is important to have something like this.

Maby than they will learn first ID than shoot.

 

In the moment i give the order to my squadmambers, that if some one of them get teamkilled the other guys have the permission to shot the frindly ....... down. Not the perfect solution but its better than do nothing.

 

Sorry but i am a little bit pissed, happent to often in the last time to my squadmambers and me.

 

regards

Don't assume it is a mistake. Last week we had someone in a spitfire straffing people as they spawned at Binniville. The problem with DCS is that you cannot see who is doing it unless you are close enough to read the code on his fuselage which is rarely feasible. OK, sometimes in the heat of the moment a person can accidentally hit a team mate while attacking an enemy but it would be nice if we had some code that says 'If he dies, you explode!' Accidently tag a friendly and you will be praying that he has mastered landings :-) At the very least it would be nice if there is a general message telling everyone when a pilot kills a friendly and who did it. Accidents happen and they happened in 1940(a) but if someone keeps doing it we can report him and see if he can be banned.

 

(a) Look up 'The Battle Of Barking Creek' or read 'Spitfire On My Tail'(or was it 'I flew For The Fuhrer' when the author was idly listening to someone instructing newbies how to attack a spit then realised it was him?)

You don't need to read the code on the fuselage, you only need to see the shape or skin, nothing more.

 

There can be mistakes yes, but don't tell me it is a mistake when someone flies so close on my six and shoots me and only notices it when I write it in the chat...

Hi Roblex,

 

you are right, there can be mistakes, happend also to me. Normaly when i try to make a high deflection shot and i dident saw the other plane that comes in from under my nose and fly thrue my gunfire.

 

But when i waggle my wings long before he is in fireposition to show him i saw him and to let him know that i know he is a frindly and he can come in formation without danger, as i will not make some hard manovers to shake him. Also i start to fly long S-turns to show him my plane and markings. But this damn ..... are following my boys and me in the long S-turns and they are comeing so close before open fire, that there is no way that they dont see it is a frindly plane. They do it on purpose to destroy the fun for others, same goes for the basecampers on both side. They have fun but ruine it for the other pilots on the server.

 

So if the server wants to be fun for all, there must be something to stop this kind of ........pilots.

Hi eekz!

The new mission is perfect I love it!!!!!

 

Saldy there are many guys that usually disconnect while in Dogfight and Vulch permamently over enemy fields....

Is there a place to report them?

 

ANyway, keep it going you did a great job!!!

 

I'm serious when I say that yours is the best server I've seen since the Il2-46 time with

Spit's vs 109's !!!

[Roblex]

You don't need to read the code on the fuselage, you only need to see the shape or skin, nothing more.at...

 

I think you misunderstood me. You cannot tell *who* is shooting friendlies just by looking at the shape of his plane :-)

Hi Guys i was shot by a friendly before too but it happens i shot a friendly by misstake myself.

I was diving on spit behind a FW190 i was sure i was on his tail and shot... err where is the FW190 the spit was pursing? Oh here it is using rude words in the chat :(

I'm no expert like you guys regarding ID i saw large propeller from behind and you know sometimes the brain see what it wants to see. I did not do it on purpose and apologized event after being called a fu... idiot!

 

I won't say TK is a common pratice on the burning skies server. The good thing with new players like me regarding WW2 is that their aim is as poor as their ID :p

 

Wanting to set up some sort of automation is overkill i think.

Hi man,

Have a little understanding, we've all been there at some point. If it's done on purpose then I agree with the kicking, even if it won't solve the TKing.. The real annoying stuff is the vulching.. I mean, how mentally disturbed one must be to do it, on an airquake server, with infinit lives..

[razo+r]

I think you misunderstood me. You cannot tell *who* is shooting friendlies just by looking at the shape of his plane :-)

 

No you can't, but that's why there are scripts and the option to enable the reporting of actions in chat

[OnlyforDCS]

I too have noticed disconnects from people who are not doing well in a dogfight.

 

Seriously?

 

This is for them that read these forums, the so called "Stat" warriors: You guys are the scum of the earth. Take your loss like men.

 

This is why I believe that statistics the dearth of semi-persistent multiplayer servers like this one. I think we would all have much more fun without them.

[FoxDelta]

+1

but i understand that stats are motivating too, this server wouldn´t have these numbers of players without stats.

 

especially when u are doing ground attacks , u get less interested in stats because of A/C loss due to FLAK.

 

every fight u fly till the end, yours or the others, gives u the chance to learn

 

first priority shall have AAAs at the home bases, my opinion

[eekz]

Disconnecting in the air does not actually save your stats by only ruins it, as it still counts as aircraft loss. Currently it's only steals a kill from your opponent, but it'll be fixed in next stat engine.

 

Sorry, that i'm not replying to each post, but currently I'm trying to concentrate on the way to improve the mission concept and all. Also we will launch new stats engine tests soon, the problem of friendly fire will have great solution in new stats system.

Hi eekz have you been able to work on the labels to make them more prominent like they were in 1.5

[eekz]

Hi eekz have you been able to work on the labels to make them more prominent like they were in 1.5

 

Yes I thinks it's possible to make labels bolder, but aren't they ok right now?

[eekz]

By the way I will post good news soon :)

[LeCuvier]

Yes I thinks it's possible to make labels bolder, but aren't they ok right now?

I agree that the labels should be more visible.

[razo+r]

Any chances of going back with the mission to 1.5? Feeling lonely from time to time...

If I can...many vulchers also on blue airfield and nearby, taking a lot of kills with an embarassing easy ..

Also, if I can, give a little tip: maybe on the stats could be improved if the survive ratio will have a more weight...many players, to take the kill, stealing or open fire in row on other same coalition players.

Also could help against the vulcher. Many of them taking many kills, but die a lot.

[Roblex]

I don't think I do. We can already take off from Binneville and immediately spot contacts over Cherbourg Harbour and Grandcamp Les Bains. How much further do you want to see? Perhaps some subtle indication at 400yds that you are about to shoot down a friendly might be needed though :smilewink:

i dont want to see further i just want them bolder like they were in 1.5. at higher resolution they are way harder to see then they were before

[PorcoRosso86]

Totally agree, indeed I think that we need to solving a common problem :thumbup:

I agree!
