Little_D Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hi gents, here something i wrote about a test on Storm of War with the gunners from the B-17, maby this helps the mapmakers to get the gunnersettings right. Of curse the gunnersettings depents on what the server wants, easy targets or need the pilot who is atacking his brain: Philstyle, Mauf and me did some testing on the gunners from the B-17 on a fast Mission from Philstyle. We tested two settings, at the first one the gunners where on exelent, the second setting was a mix of exelent in the leading planes of the formation and the rest where set to veteran. Even when there will be lots of wineing about how strong the gunners are, i would say from the view of a german pilot, they are better than expected and the make it not easy to atack them. How they react: 1) every atack from 4 - 8 a clock at the same level or in a slight dive at high speed, they will get you and kill your plane or the pilot. An atack from high six with a dive with about 60 - 70 degrees at high speed is possible. 2) atacking from 10 - 2 a clock or level from 12 a clock is the best way to atack the bombers. Also atacking from 9 or 3 a clock high, low or same level is the save way. 3) You can also survive to be complet in the formation, as long you dont fly for 1 second straigt and level, 1 second and you are death. 4) Looks like the gunners open fire at about 500m, so you could come in on the death six, open fire at 600m and try to kill a bomber. Yes you can try it , but this will happen: At 500m you hear the gunners start making hits on you, at 300m your plane is on fire and your pilot is death. 5) Also it looks like the gunners cant track the atacker if he comes in on a high angle and high speed, so the angle and the leed the gunner needs to hit, change to fast for him to calculate, or the gunturrets cant move so fast. Hopefully Phil can post something more about this test in better english, so all is right said. I personally would change a thing on the settings we testet, makes the pilot to use his brain if he want to atack the bombers and the noobs that try the easy way will be killed faster than they can say ....... . Even when the new DM is coming, i would not change the gunners. It was a dangerus thing to atack a B-17 combat box and hard to shot down a bomber. regards Little_D 1 1./JG2_Little_D Staffelkapitän 1./Jagdgeschwader 2 "Richthofen" "Go for the leader, if you can.

Reflected Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Can we please have the livery selection back? Also, I loved the missions with the 3 ground objectives a lot better than this capture the airfield thing. The former ones were much more immersive especially for ground attackers.

philstyle Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hi B-Skies team, Thanks for the updated mission (Airfields) However, it is impossible for the allies to destroy a Tiger Tank right now, so the mission objections cannot be achieved. Can you change the Tigers to a vehicle that we can destroy, please?

Just wait for the updated airfields. I'm working on airfield defense setup. They will look like a real ground target Then there will be optional ground targets too, not related to airfields, like train stations, field camps etc No plans for livery selection. Fictional and nonexistent liveries are not intended. Edited June 25, 2017 by eekz Куплю B-17, можно B-24. B-29 не предлагать!

PorcoRosso86 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Idk if just proposed before, could be helpful add more 5 - 10 mins after the end mission to permit all players to landing safe. If a player is far, with 5 mins haven't time enough to come back on base IndiaFoxtEcho Textures Artist My DCS liveries on UserFiles page here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekz Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Currently it's 5 minutes. Anyway if a pilot in the air when mission ends he gets a landing to stats. Куплю B-17, можно B-24.

dannyq8 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hi Eekz, In the current mission the 109 ground crew are not responding to run the starter command at either Axis base :( I think it might be related to all Axis bases being set at neutral, currently.

eekz Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) EDIT: Indeed. If airfield is unprotected (has no ground units) it will become neutral and thus unfunctional. I will update mission now to fix display in menu. Thank you danny, for the notice! Edited June 25, 2017 by eekz Куплю B-17, можно B-24. B-29 не предлагать!

eekz Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Ok, the core of AF capture mechanics is ready. Need to set everything up, and lovely tanks will be rolling the map capturing airfields. Will make my best to push it to the server asap. Куплю B-17, можно B-24. B-29 не предлагать! Burning Skies =Burning Skies= @ Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyq8 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 No, they are only displayed neutral, but actually they are axis if it's displayed such in airfield menu. Do you use Alt+/ radio menu or / menu with open canopy? The second option should work. I believe it matters as Bf109s radios are only tuned to respawn airfields but not capturable airfields. I tried both spawn airfields, both showing as axis (in your mission menu F10), using all types of radio menus, canopy open and closed. Everyone had the same issue this evening. 2100Z onwards, at least It was fine between 1500Z-1830Z for me. Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

Will fix it in an hour or two and drop updated mission to the server.:thumbup: It's good as even in current state the mission will get sense (and i'll have some extra time to make airfield captures). It'll be favorable to destroy units at enemy airfields and make them neutral, as they will not be usable for repairs and rearm. Edited June 26, 2017 by eekz Куплю B-17, можно B-24.
