Swedish Delivery. Two slots per type, after two hours 16 Mi 24s depleted. Same with Mi8s. Atleast increase amount of airframes, as you stated in your first reply, red coalition is useless and server is just furball now.....

 

I'll see what I can do.

 

Just on a side note, the numbers are quite often good enough. The hype around the Mi-24 is what's making players fly them constantly, regardless of any aerial threats out there or what the objective is, etc. I don't see UH-1's and Gazelles depleted that often, although I do remember Gazelles being depleted quickly back in the day when it was first released. Instead of flying singleplayer and actually learn the Hind properly they jump on any server they can find. Can't just raise the numbers and encourage that behaviour even more. It will pipe down eventually.

Server News:

 

- The briefings of all missions are now available in the second post of this thread.

- Check out the main post for all missions' names to see in what order their briefings appear in the second post.

- Briefing images and frequencies for comms are excluded. You get those on the server once a mission is online.

- As of now there are 15 missions online. Thanks to the warehouse's fix I can afford to keep that many missions active.

I just checked out the server and operation Swedish Delivery is still online. Currently 3.5 hours into the mission (1.5 hours left unless the objective is completed by either coalition) and 10 out of 16 x Mi-8's are still available. 5 out of 14 x Mi-24's are still available! So what in God's name were you talking about?! Good thing I always check things before doing something.

I told you the numbers are quite often good enough. I was right.

Then there is some bug either in 24 or in your mission, as it wont let me spawn. All i got was free camera upon hitting fly button. I suspected depleted airframes. It is not first time this happened.

Do you have any thoughts on allowing troop transport on the mi-24?

 

My apologies if this has been asked before, but i'm too lazy to actually quality control my question 🙂

 

At some point, yes, just not yet. Blue would be otherwise hopeless against so many Red gunships/transport helicopters. Wish the AH-1 would arrive any time soon but it'd be at least 2 years, I guess. Which is why the Kiowa Warrior will be allowed on the server, despite all the modern systems onboard. It's not an Apache due to the small number of weapons carried and it would give Blue helicopters a bit of hope against Red ones. Also, check out FAQ's 6 and 7 on the main post of this thread.

I got lucky on this one 😅
 

 

 

Good shots! That flying tank needed two hits to go down. Goodness me!

 

Were you flying solo or did you have a human pilot?

 

On a side note, I see Mi-24 pilots flying high quite often. Unlike Ka-50, Mi-8, UH-1 and SA342 pilots Mi-24 pilots seem more comfortable at higher altitudes. Interesting...

The script is still (at least when I tested it) reading ground speed, not airspeed. It means the Viggen can't get past about 1.3ish at any altitude, it should be around 1.7ish up high (I haven't seen a firm number, renhanxue probably has it though) as going past 2 with fixed intakes is generally not going to happen. In other news, the DM still seems a little inconsistent, but needs further testing. From what I've seen and heard it's at least better than it was before, but I still had to chase down a guy missing a wing and burning to finish him off. I don't know if he was just barely able to run as long as he kept his speed up (F-5, 21 can manage similar sometimes) or if he simply chose not to manoeuvre.

 

IMO the number of high-drag bombs for the Viggen needs increasing across the board. They're both a lot of fun to use, and also your best weapon against area targets like FARPs or the factory on Open Range. The last two times I've played the latter on blue, we ran out several hours before mission end.

 

Echoing Johny's request for more Mi-24 slots here, as well. One more helicopter, maybe. I agree it's mostly hype driving it right now, but once the hype dies down I plan on regularly flying it and ideally doing so in a pair. Having four slots on larger/longer missions would give us the ability to focus on more than one target at a time, or even having three would give us two on attack duty and one as an escort for the transport helicopters.

The airspeed limiting script is being removed. If a player is caught exploiting the bug and if evidence is provided that player is kick/banned.

 

You have 100 x drag bombs at each Blue airbase. In some missions you even have road bases. You don't want to bombard a whole country, do you? 😉

 

Operation Hold The Line has 4 x Mi-24 slots. Both Battle Over Sukhumi Unleashed and Prince of Persia (currently offline) have 6 and 4 slots. 4-6 x Mi-24 slots will also be added to operation Search & Destroy (currently offline). So yeah, and just like you said, if a mission is big enough there will be more than just 2 slots. Also, keep in mind Blue has nothing to counter the mighty Red helicopters with. Which is why the Ka-50 and even the Su-25T have been removed from so many missions and still Red has been winning missions continuously as of late. Red also seems to be outnumbering Blue due to the Hind and its hype. I've got to counter the hype doing what I'm doing to avoid even more imbalance in terms of players' numbers and slots as well.

Server News:

 

- The speed limiting script for the Viggen's bugged max speed has been removed from all missions.

- Players exploiting this bug will be kicked or banned from the server, but only if evidence is provided by those who report such players.

- Work on a new Syria mission has started.

- Upgrading the mission Sneaky Bastards (Persian Gulf map) has resumed. Limiting aircraft in numbers might not be possible due to severe restrictions at the envovled airbases.

- Work on a new project has started... Will talk more about it in time...

TY, I was flying solo. Last time I tried the multicrew with the Gazelle was more than a year ago and it didn't work very well (lots of desync issues) maybe I should try again, it may have improved.

This particular Mi-24 was busy attacking Al-Bateen on the Once Upon A Time In Abu Dhabi mission so I think he was flying high to spot targets for ATGMs and had tunnel vision so I managed to sneak those shots.

It's a mighty weapon to clean an objective.
On a side note, my gazelle was reduced to dust a short while later by a sniper shot from an AI BMP gun. This thing is really fragile, I miss the 24 in those cases 🤭

And chance of the new Syria mission being located in/around Cyprus? ‍😏
It would be especially cool if one coalition has all of Cyprus and the other has to attack the island or something similar to that

Hi all, newbie here. Got my f5 and mig 21….   Have been mostly into warbirds and SoW server. This seems to be a fantastic community too. Is there another meet and chat area than this thread? Like a discord?

Cyprus is included, yes.

A few more MiG-21 slots would be awesome, earlier all of them were occupied. What do you other players think?

Due to popular demand 😛

Apparently I killed the streamer 😄

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1068417721?t=3h53m49s

 

 and one more clean 21 kill

 

Got couple of maneuver kills too

 

@Alpenwolf

I did couple tests for EWR for P51, it works only with specific EWR names like Darknight, Warrior or Pointer. With names like Mantis it doesnt work. So simply change name of EWR to Warrior for example and it should work
