104th Phoenix - Operation Longbow - Dynamic PvP Mission

I have a problem to join your server from long time ago (1.5.8) but didn't gave me any message until now

Says "desautorizado" (non authorized)

Yesterday Gudauta couldn't be captured by either side.

Are there ways to check if it was our fault overlooking units or if there might have been a problem with the triggers?

We checked and everything looked fine but we'll spend more time on it this weekend and see if we can work out why this is happening.

You should join our teamspeak and enter the Help Desk channel for an admin to help troubleshoot.

Yesterday I failed again with the AGM-88C shooting down allies of the blue side in Kobuleti, I apologize. = /

There is no need to apologise here sir, just take it as a lesson learned and try to be more careful next time ;)

At the moment its not a priority but if I get time I will get around to this :)

Good call to add some challenges for blue!

Observations:

- Hornets spawning at Tbilisi & Vaziani don't have the standard 104th SRS frequencies preset unlike those available later at Kutaisi (not sure about Harriers).

- Ingame mission briefing and trigger messages state SRS frequencies in contradiction to the new 104th frequency guarding table which was announced as to be "used across all our missions", e.g. 141 vs. 225 for A/G coordiantion.

- Would be nice to get a handfull of Hornet slots on the boat that are not reserved for 104th members, or a second Carrier group for that purpose down southwest, as in other missions.

Post number 2 updated

YES, finally, many thanks!

Today's updates....

• -Removed all units from Kobuleti Airbase, there are now 5 target bases instead of 6.
  
• -Created triggers to deploy Red and Blue smoke at each sides ground unit positions to help with IFF.
  

Radical idea: Fighter spawns in Sochi &Kutaisi/Senaki fighters are unspawnable if the enemy has capped the closest airbase/FARP. It turns into airquake at somepoint. We saw that a bit in front of Sochi and I think it would be same for red side if the situation were reverse. Alternatively maybe somekind of structure you could destroy on the airfield disabling spawn for a set amount of time? (Not sure how viable it is, if it has full sams, constant fighter spawn etc.)

And to be fair on this, I think we should think about somekind of restriction with the rearming in Sukhumi/Guduata area. Once you take Sukhumi. you can just bomb the shit out off Guduata/FARP (and the otherway around for red of course), which I think is not really in the spirit of the mission?*

I don't know what kind of restrictions/possibilities you have with warehouse/script, but if technical viable I am suggesting this:

For example Blue: ->Takes Sukhumi -> can only refuel, Fox1, Fox2, dumb bombs. -> Once Guduata is taken(or even Farp between Guduata->Sochi), open up normal (restricted like now) weapons options. Both reversed for red.

* As it is now, you can get a new set of GBU12/Mavericks so fast, you could clear everything out very quick(except SAMs, but even there it helps if you can take really light loadout with GBU12, not worry about fuel etc.). The FARP between those two is already very dumb bomb friendly, imho it could be a good compromise. But maybe that's just me, I can totally see how a lot of people have zero sympathy for this idea.

Edit: Also on old topic of mine, you have kept WP smoke rockets out of your warehouses for years, I have not checked if it is still the case. If yes, could we maybe look at that again with the weapon restriction script? I always loved them in the A-10C back in the day for AFAC work. Even if you only shoot rocket in CCRP roughly near a target, you can still use it to walk people in better. The reason was because of performance issues if I remember right, (which makes sense if somebody can crash the server or something with spamming smoke effect), but would be really cool if people are allowed to use it again in small doses.

For dirty old Caucasus map, this mission is not bad!

Wise words well spoken!

-Removed all A2G Weapons at Gudauta and Sukhumi.

-Removed AGM-62, no requirement for such a stand-off weapon in the current mission set up.

Keep atleast dumb bombs, people doing ccip runs on shilkas etc. Should be rewarded. :)

this need an update
