DOGS OF WAR - Server thread

[HeadHunter52]

Last night on Loose Lips, we worked over the cruiser. Saw a bit of flame, some hits. None of the other visual anomalies were present. The only wierd thing was all three of us getting blown to bits at the same time. Someone suggested an AAA artifact that will sometimes hammer everyone at the same time on the first burst.

 

Made for a cool video, though. :D

It sucks to see you have to do anything Dooom.

You guys have put so much into creating and maintaining your missions, it's painful to see anything adversely affect them.

 

I haven't made any official posts to ED/DCS about my findings. I wonder if I should ?

Maybe (and hopefully) it's something they can correct with another update. Certainly it seems directly related to me that the issues started (at least for me) immediate after updating.

[SnowTiger]

BTW - I think it was Frog of War I was in today that also has Cargo Ships for each side to kill (amongst other things). Except none of these ships move. They are in fixed positions.

 

Same Thing .... 3 Perfect Rocket Hits .. or should have been hits ... NOTHING. Not even smoke.

Then to top it off, I took the aileron off a 109 ... it out turned, out climbed and still got behind me and killed me.

Then I got a Golden BB {GBB} through the cockpit.

I took a screenshot to show a single bullet hole through the glass. Not one single bullet hole anywhere else in my plane.

 

A similar kill later this afternoon was all I could handle. I didn't hear ANY hits until I got the GBB through the same part of canopy. But this time my plane had a ton of holes all over. I didn't hear a single hit or see a single tracer. Just died when the GBB got me through the glass.

 

SUPER FRUSTRATING !!

 

Anyway, I don't think it has anything to do with your mission scripting.

It is 100% the result of the most recent Update.

[SnowTiger]

Oh.. I'm wrong.

Turns out there was a couple other holes in the first GBB incident today as can be seen in this screenshot.

 

Pretty Fluky IMO !!

[SnowTiger]

On further study ... it appears I got hit more than I thought as can be seen on the left elevator.

I still say that's some pretty fluky shooting. But a kill is a kill.

Now if only the P-51 could penetrate the 109/190 hides and actually do something without having to unload on it.

There might be an ammo change in the future based on this thread:

so I think that would help.

Excellent Thread Ultra

Thanks for that link.

[Ultra]

Yeah no problem, I always keep an eye out for any possible changes to our Mustang. It still needs some love.

Hey all ! Please note server 1 has been updated and now includes the new drainpipe mission in its rotation. There is also a new skin pack that has been updated and is available in the first post if this thread

[SnowTiger]

I hate to point it out, but the Server is stuck on "Itsy Bitsy" again.

[dooom]

Ok I just rotated it through my iPhone ... Let me know if it's still stuck

[SnowTiger]

Thanks Dooom. That did the job.

 

I just got done flying 3 hours (from start to finish) in "River Raiders / Killer Bees Edition" for the entire flight all by my lonesome ... until the last few minutes at least.

 

The mission ended as scripted.

[SnowTiger]

It's stuck on "Itsy Bitsy" again.

The Server Time Stamp says it has been running 11 hours 38 minutes (at 11:36 AM EST).

[Rapidfire]

another good night on DoW thanks D00m for the new mission.

 

:thumbup:

[HeadHunter52]

That group rocks. I love flying with them. Skilled, creative, professional and courteous. D0o0m even apologized once for shooting me down. Lol!

[SnowTiger]

I think Itsy Bitsy needs to be pulled from the line-up. Not only do I think it's stuck again (although I'm not sure how long it's supposed to be), but twice I have come in when the convoy should be about half way to the mouth of the valley and yet there is nothing to be found but a few burnt vehicles along the path (near where they start).

I have flown twice and not seen anything (except AI planes).

BTW - Why is it that we can shoot the crap out of an enemy plane but don't get any credit towards a kill when the AI comes up and finishes them off ? Especially when they shoot through me to do it !!!

I saw an AI P-51 nearly shoot down 3 friendlies while trying to hit an enemy !!

 

Anyway, until there is a Patch that actually fixes something, I think Itsy Bitsy is going to continue to be problematic. But that's only one man's opinion so far.

[dooom]

Probably just a hiccup in the triggers - I'll have a look

That's artificial intelligence for ya, bud. So rude.

[SnowTiger]

LOL No Kidding.

 

They don't even kiss you first !

Hello!

One little question, what is happening if somebody ram an enemy intentionally (To save his friend) in the server? :clown_2:

[dooom]

Children will sing songs of your selfless valour?

[Demon_]

It was you?

[dooom]

Ce n'etait pas mois... But I think I'm safe to say we probably wouldn't make a big deal out of a ram like that... It sounds pretty rare

[Demon_]

Ok! I agree. Thank you.
