skliff13 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Its worse probably. Airstarts 20 miles to the rear of each airfield at 10K would be a better solution. How about using Batumi as a backup airfield for Allies? It's additional ~30km away to the South from the main Allied base.

=475FG= Dawger Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 How about using Batumi as a backup airfield for Allies? It's additional ~30km away to the South from the main Allied base. If the goal is to remove the motivation for camping, you need to use an effective means. Airstarts a short distance back from the field where the camping will occur does that. The threat of a high enemy a few minutes from your low altitude spawn camping is very effective at doing that. And it is pretty easy to make sure folks only use the airstarts for field defense. Just load them up with minimal fuel and no ground attack weapons. They will be base defense only. If you want to do more than that, you will have to land to refuel/rearm or take a ground spawn aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirvi Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 For me, the long distance is not really a problem. The bigger issue is that the players get spread to thin. If 3 players are on the red side and 3 on the blue, it is possible that everyone is heading to another objective and never gets into a fight. Maybe it would be better to have only one active objective, the same for both sides. So the distances stay the same, but at least everyone is heading for the same objective.

eekz Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 There will be a reworked Caucasus mission in rotation. Also, for longer distance missions like Road to Evreux, I'm going to make the number of objectives dynamic system, depending on number of players on the server. For example if there are 4 player online there will be 1 objective for each side, if there are 8 players there will be 2 objectives per side, if 16 then 4 per side. I'm aware of the big map vs small number of players issues and trying to find proper solution. Куплю B-17, можно B-24. B-29 не предлагать!

You probably don't consider yourself a 'target' when you're flying, but you ARE. So, we're ALL aware about the bugs and if we accept this as a given fact, I want those distances to be much closer so that any of us can find airborne targets more quickly. Regarding the ground targets they are just fine. How many ground targets did you destroy so far..?

Campbell Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I have no problem finding air targets. Finding ground targets can be a challenge especially when they are bugged and can only been seen from certain views or distance. I focus more on Air to Air with the occasional ground pounding. I’ve had no issues finding air targets. Are you keeping your labels on by default? This really helps with finding them cause you can see them from long distance.

deyneko Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) For example if there are 4 player online there will be 1 objective for each side, if there are 8 players there will be 2 objectives per side, if 16 then 4 per side. I'm aware of the big map vs small number of players issues and trying to find proper solution. Yes, it would be great. The distance between opposite airfields at present time is normal. By decreasing the number of objectives you can create kind of "narrow corridor" between opposite airfields. So, it will be much easier for pilots to find each other. Is it possible to place objectives near clear recognizing objects (towns, rivers, bays etc)? In the same time, you can try to switch off magic GPS. This will lead to increasing flight's altitude for navigation. Some of experienced pilots hunt at the extremely low altitude all the time. They destroy "victims" very fast... I think a lot of new pilots leave the server after "rapid annihilation" because they even didn't have any chances. At least you can try it and we will see. But the way to objects and back should be not difficult for navigation. To everybody. Look at the video below and guess what most pilots want? keep in mind that some of us just dont fly because ... Some of us don't fly but some of us fly. For example they prefer to fly : Here we don't discuss how to NOT fly... Here we discuss how to make missions more interesting. Right?

dFlow Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 is there a time when there are more than 2 people on this server? I think the problem is that one would rather connect to another server where people are on, than connect onto an empty server - which is a problem again ... I don't know if the mission might be an issue, maybe its just because of the ww2 setting, I cannot tell ... I'd love to fly ww2 again ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
