Want a WW2 server offering 'point-blank' dogfighting?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone,

 

I'm wondering if there would be interest in a new WW2 server offfering low-altitude point-blank dogfighting, similar to the Lake map in Rise of Flight?

 

The intention would be to have opposing airfields very close together so you can just jump in for a 15min dogfight if you wish.

 

If there is sufficient interest I have a remotely hosted server not doing anything at the moment...

 

So, has this been tried/does it already exist?

Hi DavidRed,

 

Good timing! No plagiarism intended - I hadn't spotted that. I was on the DoW server yesterday but the mission was Loose Lips.

 

I'll look forward to giving it a try tonight if I see it.

 

Is this one of ~8 mission rotations? I was thinking of a server that always had the same air-quake mission.

I should also have stated the server would be located in England.

its still work in progress, and a proper mission briefing is about to be made today...

the airbases are fairly close to each other, but probably not as close as you would like them? Beslan-Axis, Nalchik-Allies.

 

all units placed on the map are destroyable and will give points.

 

for every fighter shot down, points will be given as well.

 

there is a "safe zone" around each airbase. meaning that if you crashland close to your airbase, and the pilot survives, the plane and the pilot will be considered as rescued.a message saying "glad to have you back" confirmes that you are now safe.this also goes for landing on the airbase.once you come to a full stop, this message will pop up, and then you can either repair/rearm or spawn in a new plane without giving the opposing side points.

 

also there is a constant bomber-raid going on, and allied players are supposed to escort them towards their target area, while the axis players are supposed to attack the bombers.

(for every bomber reaching the target area, points will be given to the allied side.for every bomber shot down, points will be given to the axis side)

 

if only one side is populated by players, enemy ai fighters will spawn in.

 

the side which reaches 100points first will win.

no, we dont run 8 different missions so far...we plan to add missions in a constant pace though.the server is in the UK.
