So far the changes I see regarding the Huey are:

Open Range; No Stingers, no troops

Once Upon a Time in Dubai; No Stingers, no troops

Into The Desert; No weapons (no rain? Too challenging for the pilots?)

Two Towns; No weapons, no troops

 

From my point of view, the previous poor weather in Into the Desert enticed the Red fighters to fly in or above the clouds in the hopes that  they could shoot people in the face with their radar missiles. In turn, the Blue fighters, knowing the above, stayed on the deck. After a few sorties of this, the mission becomes dull for the F-5 unless there is a JTAC to lase ground targets.

Open Range and Once Upon a Time in Abu Dhabi having no troops is deliberate.

Into The Desert having no weapons? I'll check it out.
Changing the weather is something I always do in all missions from time to time. The rain will be back at some point or added to a different mission.

Two Towns has been fixed, tested by rossmum and weapons are available. Now you're confusing me.

Not all MiG-21's fly above or in the clouds and sooner or later they come down when bored. Or, F-5's go up if bored before the MiG's are

Not my experience the last two times we flew this mission. Glad the clouds will be gone.

I think the hind can load atgms at the farp but not at the miltary base.

Hi ! Is the server running on openbeta or stable version ?  I cannot find it in the openbeta server list...

Thanks !

OB. If you can't find it, just connect via IP:

Server's Name: Cold War 1947 - 1991
Server IP: 193.70.81.86

Found it thank you very much ! Is there a document where I can find the rules, etc ?

On the first page of this thread and in the briefing images of every mission.

@Alpenwolf & @rossmum - can confirm, "Into the Desert", RED MilBase, for Shaitan-Arbas no AAMs, no ATGMSs, but UB Dumbfire Rocket Pods (HE, AP only, not HEAT,AP) in limited numbers.

Probably nothing more serious than a typo or a warehouse issue.

I just deleted the Mi-24's FARP's and added new ones with configured warehouses. Hope it fixes the issue. A very weird issue by the way, which seems to affect some FARP's, but not all in the very same mission. Go figure...

I would like to personally thx Alpenwolf for a server where stuff like this can happen...PVP gazelle kill with a truck.

I am very glad you managed to achieve something.

However, this sort of behavior is not something the server really needs at the moment.

The Gazelle pilot appears to have been enjoying his first experience on the server (from the questions he was asking in text)

He promptly disconnected immediately after you proudly announced your truck "kill".

I think it is unlikely he will be motivated to return.

 

Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should.

next orbat for REDfor - weaponize a ZIL-4104...

Also.. as someone who was there in the AO, 10 clicks north, and we were outnumbered.. 4:1? - this is MVP status forever, your callsign from now on should be "THATsplash 1-1"

And while of course we normally try to not kamikaze on things (which in A2G does not work anyway) - despite me not so lately getting rammed by a lot of things that then also disconnect or not... this one is not only valid and within the scope but also shows the potential of CA assets and that ground assets are not a shooting gallery when under human control, enriching the experience and making cognitive involvment necessary for the rotary loop.

How the hek im suppose to know whos new player?  Im sorry for the person leaving but lets not behave like this is against the rules. If I shot him with a tank then what? This is rare occurrence thats why I bragged. All we had was a frikin truck at the farp and mission was about to end. We needed farp to finish all objectives. You wiped everyhing we had there. Ill pause my playing I guess. You tell Red when we suppose to shoot with blanks.

Shooting someone is not an issue.

What you did gives every appearance of a friendly intentionally griefing at the FARP, which is what the second helicopter that you rammed with the truck thought you were doing.

The server is suffering from severe lack of population. 10 people in the server is about tops lately.

This sort of behavior, while entirely within the rules, is not exactly conducive to trying to support a waning server population.

However, you are correct. It is within the rules, we were kicking your butt up and down the map, and when you can't beat someone in a supersonic fighter, suicide runs in a truck has proven highly effective.

Carry on.

[Apok]

Oh please, we got 2 objectives. Also you lost your farp but reclaimed it before we got comm tower and stopped us from wining. I cant spawn stuff with mi8 , drive tanks, and GCI alone, as you say low pop. Btw not being able to kill in fighter and being butt kicked... plz watch tacview. 

I understand your emotions but toughen up a bit, its a game.

Also mission needs crate cap. Not sure it has it.

 

[MMI_Grim]

I guess if you have to play against 4 times the forces you get forced to asymmetric tactics. ^^

But I would also make it very clear that you are on a road rage trip so the other players dont suspect grieving.

Don't believe the "4 to 1" line too much. When I joined, Blue had 2 players who had just joined after the Reds had been busy for 2.5 hours with no opposition whatsoever. Blue was down to a very few ground forces and sides were even for the next 90 minutes or so. It wasn't until the last 45 minutes, when it was obvious the Reds were not going to close the deal, that the Reds began logging off and the side disparity developed.

Careful what you ask for. This is the only fixed wing sortie you flew while I was in the server yesterday. It was my first sortie.

What do you mean by crate cap?

He means that the number of crates should be limited.

It is limited in all the missions I've updated so far. Others will follow.

[Miccara]

This quest for "balance" or "fairness" is a bit ludicrous to me. Lets face it, it's a game and it's the GCI and ground war part that ticks off people the most. If one side has it going and the other doesn't, then you're in for a tough go. Air-to-air seem to enjoy themselves pretty much regardless of what's on the ground.

Choppers are different. From a "putting out creates" perspective I disagree with caps. I also disagree with with armament caps on the aircraft (quantity, not types). It's a game, let them do their part until the end. Keep them in the air, keep them productive and they'll stay in the game. Red should be out performing blue choppers by miles when it come to crate delivery. At When Mountains Cry a day or two ago, I put a Hawk site about 3 miles or so from one of the Blue lakes. By myself, climbing the mountain then down to the lake, I'm guessing maybe 15 miles at best, took me an hour a twenty minutes to complete in a Huey, not including ammo truck, Huey equipped with guns and half load of fuel. Don't believe me? You try it. SU25's or missile equipped Mi24's, or KA50's sweep in and take it all out without ever getting shot at by a piece of ground equipment.

It seems that Blue just works a little better together, more often. Add Mike-Delta to the mix and you've gotta really work to get past us. So instead of constantly asking for changes that will never end depending on who feels slighted today, Get in, get better, do the roles that are required at the moment rather than just the role you want to do, then it won't seem so one sided. I've never heard of the Blue side asking for crate caps.

Red fixed wing pilots have mostly left the server. Dobs and I are flying Red a lot more often just to have someone to shoot at. Occasionally, if we spend a few hours seeding the server some Red Air will show up but it cannot be relied upon. I have no clue what could possibly bring them back.
