=BURNING SKIES= WWII Server

[OnlyforDCS]

eekz, is there any chance of you setting a turbulence setting for your mission? Just to mix things up a bit? :)

[imacken]

Can someone explain to me where I can see current month to date pilot stats on BS?

Also, why can I not see myself on the list of pilots here?

Check it out, and post feedback here. I will appreciate it!

thx for all the new stuff eekz:thumbup: but can we please have a ping limiter, was on the tail of a spit this afternoon but with his warping BS ended on mine and died as a result. I know it isnt the solution to all of the problem but it sure as hell is a start and 150-200 is more than generous

The main task of Spitfires becomes to acquire air superiority at low altitude over Gali, to provide a safe opportunity for P-51s to attack tanks with HVARs and bombs.

 

I guess it's something like it was in real life. Spitfires rarely were used as ground attack aircraft.

 

However I will populate the mission with some light vehicle convoys a bit later, so Spitfires will have some ground objectives if they want.

Additional information on the mission that I currently work on and hope to rlease 1st version before Spitfire release.

 

The mission name will be "Battle for Gali"

 

Today I'd like to introduce you situation descriptions for the mission.

 

Red situation

 

Enemy is preparing an assault on the city of Gali. Our reconnaissance reports that at least 3 Soviet tanks platoons preparing to attack the city from three directions after artillery preparation and close air support operation. Additionally they are going to reinforce the attack by additional tank platoons that have already started their movement from Kobuleti region. Enemy air bases are located at Senaki-Kolkhi, Kutaisi and Kobuleti airfield and USAF, RAF and VVS will likely perform their air operations from there.

 

We have 3 panzer platoons at the city outskirts at the moment as core of the city defence. They suffer artillery fire and eventual air strikes. Our command has sent additional tank forces to support the defenders. Also the supply of Gali defence was established lately by our ground convoys. Our air forces located at Gudauta and Sukhumi.

 

Blue situation

 

Our command is going to begin the assault operation on the city of Gali occupied by Axis forces. The main strike force is 6 Soviet tank platoons. After artillery preparation they will attack the city defences from 3 directions. Three tank platoon are located on the frontlines waiting for reinforcement and protecting artillery sites from a counter-attack. Another three tank platoons are currently on march to the frontline along with supply convoys.

 

Scout squads report that the city defences were lately reinforced with at least 3 tank platoons and 3 more tank platoons are moving to the city from the enemy's back areas. Using our air bases located at Senaki-Kolkhi, Kutaisi and Kobuleti we are able to provide air strikes on Gali defences. Enemy air bases are located at Gudauta and Sukhumi airfields. Opposition is expected.

 

Stay tuned!

 

PS: if any English native speakers could comment the situation description text here and point out style errors I would appreciate it much :)

 

 

Here you go! Feel free to use whatever you would like.

 

Red Situation

 

The enemy is preparing to assault the city of Gali. Reconnaissance reports that once artillery and close air support has prepared the area, that at least 3 Soviet Tank platoons are preparing to attack the city from three different directions. Additionally they are to reinforce the assault with additional tank platoons that are already enroute from the Kobuleti region.

The enemy (USAF, RAF & VVS) will likely perform their air operations from the air bases located at Senaki-Kolkhi, Kutaisi & Kobuleti.

 

The core of the cities defenses is three Panzer units currently located along the city outskirts. They suffer from artillery shelling and we expect eventual air strikes. Command has sent three additional take forces to reinforce the city defenses. Recently, the Gali defenses has been supplied by our ground convoys and air forces located at Gudauta and Sukhumi.

 

 

Blue Situation

 

Command has ordered to begin the assault operation on the city of Gali currently occupied by the Axis forces. The main strike force will be 6 Soviet Tank Platoons. We expect that after artillery has prepared the area, the 6 Soviet Tank Platoons will assault the city from three different directions. There are 3 Tank Platoons on the front lines protecting artillery sites from counter attack and currently waiting to be reinforced from the 3 additional Tank Platoons currently enroute via the supply convey.

 

Scout squads report that the cities defenses where recently reinforced with at least 3 Tank Platoons. There are also 3 additional Tank Platoons enroute from the rear to reinforce the current defenses. Our orders are to conduct air strikes on the Gali defenses using our airbases at Senaki-Kolkhi, Kutaisi & Kobuleti. The enemy airbases are located at Gudauta and Sukumi. Opposition is expected!

Thank you for the explanation. Some light vehicle convoys would be appreciated :thumbup:

Apparently the "NORMANDY ANTICIPATION" is no longer there. That's a pity.

So I tried the "Battle for Gali" on the red side.

My first issue: Finding the blue tank units. Having no intelligence whatsoever, I searched in and around Gali using the zoom extensively. I found one group of tanks southeast of Gali about half-way between Gali and the river. I tried to attack it with a heavy bomb. As soon as I released the bomb, everything froze and I was kicked out with a "disconnect". There had been some very short freezes before. I connected again and dropped a bomb on one of the tanks, but missed of course. Then I tried my 20mm gun which is useless of course against MBT's. And the game froze again just as I tried to regain altitude. Game over. My ping value when I connected to the game was about 130. I have the impression that there is a problem in the Gali setup. I played Normandy Anticipation a lot and never had such problems. Or was I kicked because I attacked friendly units? Normally that should be indicated by a "Kicked" message I think.

From what I just read in the ealier posts and the fact that nobody fired at me I conclude that I was harassing one of the German tank groups. I'm afraid it will take me forever to find the allied ground forces, and even if I find them it will be very difficult to make any kill. Hitting a tank with an unguided bomb from a Bf-109 or a FW-190 takes a lot of luck at least for me. These are not tank killers and we don't have any JU-87 which could be effective with sufficient escort.

At the very least, please provide some more specific briefing info as to where the enemy units are supposed to be. In real life I'm sure the pilots had some pretty good information before they took off.

With the release of Normandy map closing how soon wil it be running on the multiplayer?

[eekz]

As soon as possible. I really hope that it will be day one, but no promise

Good news, next weekend will be a blast :thumbup:

And a SRS Server for Burning skies would make it perfect.

A very nice tip that I got from another forum. You can search the forum with this:

 

any keywords you choose site:https://forums.eagle.ru/

 

The purple part has to come before the main URL.

The orange part is the site at hand (can be any site, but in general does not work for subsections, just the main URL. But you can experiment).

 

So you can search for:

 

P-51D damage model site:https://forums.eagle.ru/

 

Changing the keywords a bit will give you other results. It is an easy way to search and it seems to give you way better results than the usual search engine in every site. You can also add quotation marks to a keyword so it will be highlighted. Or a group of keywords like "damage model", then it will search the two combined. The results may come out more specific.

What I would like to know is will the server run Normandy missions 24/7 or will it switch between Normandy and Caucus?

[imacken]

So, I guess no-one wants to sum up the issues with the damage model. I'll try SeaW0lf's advice then.

I won't say much because I'm a newbie here and I could get ahead of myself :thumbup: but the topics that came out with the search will give you a general idea. It is basically it and you can research further on.

Since the DCS build where Normandy will be availiable will not have Caucasus, I'm afraid it will be tricky to rotate. So it will be Normandy 24/7 or possibly 24/5 if Caucasus will be still demanded by players.
