Hi.
First -I want to say "hello" to all pilots here ;)
Rammjager here.
Maybe some of You knows me from online fronts - my nick on HL is JG300_Rammjager.
I wish to thanks creators of IL2 ONLINE WAR - great map and fine online war.
But I have some suggestion to improve it.
Pls cancel rule about minimum players in game.
Some ppl don't have right mod instaled - sometimes we restart from HL two or more times. I understand that some of pilots hate to fly against AI. But if some of us won't to fly mission without waiting 1 or more hours waiting on HL - we don't have such chance. Let ppl decide if they want to fly.
Simply we don't need that rule. Moreover - tha trule sometimes made a strange bug - parser sometimes says that we need 6 human ppl to report - but in mission we were 7 !!
Another thing - mission time is too long. Mission are short sometimes - too short to send raport. I think 20 minutes are enough.
Wit Best Regards.

Ciao Ramm [wellcome]
Your suggestions are always useful and welcome...
Soon we will try to make some changes.
Thx Ramm

Hello.
I wanted to ask what will be next map on Il2 War and when can it be expected?
S!

Hi guys
the next map, i suppose, will be Greece!
-
yes it's rigth the next map will be a greece( HELLAS )

Hi.
Is there any chance to change resolution of picture of map in a front site ???
Right know planning mission is more like quesing which town or sector to atack.
On this picture we have - doesn't see anything at all....

Ramm.

Great idea with that zoommap !!
Thank You very much :)

Hi.
Yesterday we had strange bug.
I had it, 302_Frankol had it too. Today the same thing happen to 335th_GRIkarus.
Making mission is ok.
User nickmane and password works.
When mission is finished and You try to dl it - it works fine too.
But when You try to save mission file on Your hard drive clicking on it and try to "save as ..." apear screen with Your nick name and password.
When You click "ok" password dissaper . When You rewrite Your password - page says that "password is incorrect" and after that says that file "mission_badc ..." isn't on serwer.
When You will go back to generate page - You will see that your mission is running ...
Strange.
I'm using IE 7.0
Ramm.
-
the strange bug is solved now
I think that the problem was the machine host server is now without any change everything works

Sorry, but it isn't solved.
I've tried to fly mission today -and had the same problem as yesterday.
Ramm.
-
the server still has problems, but perhaps I solved by changing some features. Try now.
-
ok served problem solved. password request work.

Hello guys.
Have there been any changes in parser? I saw few times people getting badly shot and landing after it somewhere on the map - often behind enemy lines. After they bailed and exited the game the player who shot them and made them emergency land got no credit for the kill (the attacked plane didn't crash and explode - just emergency land).
I remember that always when u shoot someone and he landed - but not near his base and bail out - u get a kill.
S!
-
hello kuba
no change in parser.
if enemy plane landed and after pilot bailed you dont have kill
you have kill when plane crash=explode only
-
OK - my mistake then .
Thnx for reply S!

So the next map is Afrika 1942?
Guys if I can suggest anything- before u think about planeset for next map - if it will be Afrika 1942 make a planeset which will not look obsolete for year '42.
I mean many players are bored to fly old planes. For example Emils, G50's and CR42's aren't a good idea in '42 map, but F4 and some G2's are ;) Reds can get SpitV's etc.
This is just a suggestion - pls pass it to anyone who is making planesets.

And most important thing : when next map will be loaded ?
Regrads.
Rammjager

Seems map is loaded but...why B25J in planeset? It's hard to shoot down in F4 and in G2 not talking about MC's. Why not the B25 C version from mod or A20's ?
-

Yep. Maybe some A-20 instead. And earlier version of B-25 like Kuba said.

who works as quickly forgets something :)
I don't remember b25c was flyable with mod :)
fix it now

Guys - parser down! Pls help.
Parser went down after those 2 reports:
Look at them - they have strange end with ground action.
http://www.il2war.com/rep/rep_01633.html
http://www.il2war.com/rep/rep_01633.html
-
So guys - what's up with generator and parser? Any chance they get up today?
-
Parser down again guys :((((
-
Hi.
Guys - something is wrong with parser.
Look at this :
http://www.il2war.com/rep/rep_01808.html#reports
Almost all players were captured ...
I don't think ALL of them landed in enemy teritorry.
Second thing.
When we tried to fly mission just after that one - host (EAF_Classic) ge tsome strange message trying download mission.
Generator says that is NO RED AIRFILEDS in operational status.
Strange isn't it ?
But Generator and Parser status were up ...
Can You look at this ?
Regards.

Hi.
As I understand -You have problem with server.
You can do two (three) things.
1. Restart North Africa map again with current planeset.
2. Launch another map - maybe Tunisia 1943 ? With new planeset. Call last map draw or red won (they took Sirte)
3. Close Il2WAR.
I think option number 3 will not be welcome by most players :-))
If problem with server will repeat - just restart map and allow us play.
The most important thing is TO HAVE PLACE to fly.
I will fly here no mater what planeset will be :-)
Everything here is better than flying AW under BY controll :P
Regrads.

Hello guys. Can u give Sirte to Reds pls. We have small number of ppl playing this front lately and I'm afraid that some reds who fly here to win the map at all cost (yes there are such ppl - we fly for fun , some fly for stats others for map) will just leave the project.
Anyways flying here is great fun. Just keep up the good work

hello from 335th sqn.
i am typhoon,one of the newest pilots of 335.
i can speak only for myself but i think that most other pilots from 335 and other red teams would agree with me when i say that we all wish to continue il 2 war but not with a clean restart.it was so difficult for us to make progress and take sector sirte and the surrounding sectors and now a third start?most of us simply dont have the urge to play this map from the begining.wouldnt it be more fair to simply manually assign sector sirte and the surrounding sectors to red side and assigning 80% damage to airfields AK05(misurata) and AG06(Tipoli)?is this possible?this would simulate the conditions by the time of the restart.
i think that most blue pilots would agree also.
this way the intrest is kept up and the fun is not spoiled.
otherwise declare red as winners and lets move to another map...
thank you and please help us to stay in this otherwise wonderfull campaign.
-
P.S:to JG300_Hpt_Kuba
with all the respect kuba but isnt that the mission on every map?to win?
of course fun is a very important factor but if it wasnt for the ultimate goal of winning a map we could also play on dogfight servers or play only one single map...
that does not mean as you suggested that reds will win "at every cost".but these restarts simply spoil the fun.we fly for weeks to take over blue airfields and then suddenly one day it was all for nothing?i think you would feel also this way if this would happen to blue side...
S!
-
By writing "at every cost " i mean its just important too. No offence of course.
I understand that 3rd restart and loosing Sirte is frustrating and this may mean some reds will leave. That's all. Thats why Sirte should be made Red now.
S!

Server got pb to generate a good map, we are trying to make the best 4 all !
-
Hi.
I have an idea to improve il war.
Semms that You have sometimes problem with main server.
Maybe we should play map only for a two week ?
Current map is Africa 42.
Let's switch to Tunisia 43 -and play only two weeks. After that time admins announce their decision - who win who loose. (more or less cities).
In that way we will avoid problem with server.
I hope server can handle with it in two weeks.
After each map - erase old database - saving only pilots stat.
What do You think guys about it ?
Regards.
Ramm.
-
Ybor we are with you, do not get it personal. We love you all [love] [mrgreen]! We know those problems weren't on purpose although some might think that even the worst server can keep backup files. As for the idea Rammjager offered i dont think we can conquer a city in 2 weeks. Remember how long took us to take Sirte.Just give us a new map. But i have to say that Ramm and his company shows their greatness by saying that continuing from the start this map is wrong! My appriciation to Jg300 and some other blue SQDs that understand this and my frustration to those who found the opportunity to open their mouth more than they sould be.
-
[funny]
I have read: Ybor we are with you, do not get it personal. We love you all
... [lol] [lol] [lol]
Mh....what's really happened?
[funny]
I miss understood something in HL chat?
Anyway.....
Sirte or not, this is a little problem, not a problem at all, the il2 war staff is going to resolve something else, more important then restart or not too; maybe if it will not resolve the problem admin can quiet the game...
and pleaze to remember that I 'M NOT admin or something like that in IL 2 War project....
I made only templates , like u know... or like u can see ....in www.il2war.com
Regards..

Hello all, first of all thankyou to all involved for bringing us this modded war, its fantastic and has breathed new air into our game, for that thankyou.
Now the reason I am here is always a sticky subject and it concerns planesets [shock] but do not worry I am not here to moan or whine. To be precise I am here to make suggestions to planesets for the next maps. I have an issue with the current planeset concerning the number of Hurricane IIbs on ET missions but as already stated I am not here to moan about that. I am here to ask a question.
For the next maps would you consider releasing a new mod 'IL2 War Mod Pack 1.3' ? The main reason is I think it would be very interesting to include the recently modified Spitfire Vc and Spitfire VIII that can now correctly carry bombs on the Mk.Vc and bombs or droptanks on the Mk.VIII its link is here - http://www.allaircraftarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7959
Also we have available in the latest mods the Beaufighter Mk.X which I think will fit in very well with Tunisia maps and Sicilly/Italy. Its mod is here -
http://www.allaircraftarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4388
Lastly how about the Hurricane IID? that would be a great new toy to play with in Tunisia, particularly well suited to BD missions, what do you think? Its link is here -
http://www.allaircraftarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5661
And the C47, its an absolute pig to fly and puts off many red pilots from making a SUM mission. The Li2 is actually a lot easier to fly and can be flown well with much less practice, it also has machine guns to defend itself so its a better match for the Ju52, what do you think would the Li2 be suitable to replace the C47 and get more willing red SUM pilots? and can we include the latest flyable mods to correct the B17s which I presume will see action in Italy 43?
Lastly I am sure there are some new blue mods out that would fit well into IL2 war but as I am a red pilot at heart I do not follow the blue developments with such interest. I am sure there are many here who do though and can put forward a few suggestions, how about the tropical 109F4? and did someone make bomb racks for the 109F4? both of those would fit in well.
My suggestions are here to make the game more interesting and always to promote balance, I know how hard planesets are to produce and implement fairly because I have made two templates in my past for online wars and both were used and neither received many if any complaints regarding the balance of the planeset, so I am not here just to moan/whine but here to make serious suggestions.
Please let me know what you think, and thanks again for IL2 war.

If the project continues as surely has happened will be made a new modpack, about planeset instead, you have to be lucky, all planes have same probability but it can happen that always comes out the same because the generator does not consider the previous choices!
enjoy yourself :)
-
Good news I think :) Please do consider the new flyables, they would add a lot to the coming campaigns.
How about 6DOF? Has that been discussed as possible to include in the modpack?
-
BTW who is the person who makes the planeset?
It would be nice to know if the above recomendations will be included or dismissed, that way my squad mates and I can practice bombing with the Spitfire and Beaufighter or using the cannon on the Hurricane. Thanks
For that matter it would be nice to know in advance what the future planeset will be, it would allow squads to do some practice off line. I presume at some point we will have B17s and B24s to play with, I doubt many people can fly one of those big birds so some advance warning on planesets would be very beneficial. Anything I can do to help?
-
Hey :-)
Happy New Year :-)
Guys whats wrong with generator ?
A few last missions were atacking sectros - and ... no tanks in missions.
We spot a planes in water, trucks in a middle of nowhere ...
If You didn't noticed - nobody flied il2war since week ...
Please do something or just close server.
It would be pity to lost that interesting war ....
Ramm.

Hi guys.... in those days we are testing new map and developing planeset...we are thinking also to the possibility to insert new skins and choosing other game set..
At moment good guys are developing the SM79...and in a couple of days we hope this job going to end....
We are working to provide a new interesting version of IL2 war..and we can say that at moment another map is on working... for battle of 1944 8)
Il2 war coming soon...take the engine hot ;)

Ciao all friends from Finland....
Like many times we said in HL too, we are near to finish the testing time on next IL2 war BoI,( battle of Italy) we need time, like you can image, to give you all the best we can....
We are waiting 2 new planes too, full new planes, these planes seems to be under test too....
So we have to wait..... [lol]
See you soon in the BoI and HL!!!
Ciao

I have checked last BOB raports and it seem that the main bomber for blue side is Bf-110. Can you change it?
-
don't is so, the bomber can be choose ;)
-
Luigi, non sembra che abbia chiesto se si puo scegliere, ma se si puo cambiare.
Secondo la mia traduzione dice:
Ho controllato l'ultimo (o gli ultimi) report e sembra che il bombardiere principale per la parte blue è il bf-110. Potete cambiarlo?
Shoki, in this message I have translated yours in italian, because it seems it was misunderstood (If I'm not wrong). :)
-
Thanks for the answer [clap]. I have not occasion to use generator because we are still waiting for our squadron registration code [grrr]
-
Il 2 war cooming soon....
In il 2 war test is not important to enjoy squad; the stats can be turn off and on anytimes by the Admin as he need it. 8)
Test page was only to test map, generator, planes, videocards, version & mods etc......
It is a mistake some people doesn't understand it, as a mistake is in wich way you got access to host too. [shock] ....ok it was enough the link....!? [grrr]
Anyway... the demage done...

Is the planeset we are using just for testing? I do hope so...
Before I get flamed for 'whining' about the planeset how about you hear me out and see my reasons for the following suggestions. I am not hear to moan or to gain advantage. In every planeset we should have balance and fair play as the governing factor, the next most important factor is of course historical accuracy.
The first issue that I think needs balancing is the drastically different bombing capabilities of each side.
The SB2-M103 is being used as a stand in Wellington leaving the RAF with Blenheims and 'Wellingtons' to use as bombers. The only trouble with that is that the Blenheim was a RAF light bomber and the Wellington was a RAF medium bomber. The Blenhiem could carry 1000lb (450kg) of bombs and the Wellington could carry 4500lbs (2000kgs) of bombs. The SB2-M103 can only be described as a light bomber, its bombload is only 2200lbs (1000kg) yet its speed is the same as that of the real Wellington. So the use of a medium bomber like the 'Wellington' in this planeset is not worthwhile as it has the major drawback of a medium bomber with the loss of speed but it does not make up for it with an effective payload to attack with. A far more suitable stand in would be the DB3F which closely matches the Wellington in speed and offensive load. The DB3F is actually a little slower than the SB2-M103 but has a more usefull maximum bomb load of 2000kg or 4400lbs which is close to the wellington.
I think introducing the above change would make each sides bombers a much better matched contest and would ultimately lead to a fairer and more balanced fight.
I also note that the planeset makes extensive use of 'Jabo' 109s and 110s on the EBA role. I see and appreciate that you have already made one change to the planeset and that was to remove the 109E from the BA role which it was able to do in the first planeset. But now we still have a situation where the BA type is selectable and every time an attack is planned by blue the escorting fighters will also have the ability to carry bombs, this is very unbalanced. I doubt we will see many He111's or Ju87's when the planner can select the very effective BF110C-4/B or the Ju88 which has the most effective bomb load. In my opinion the best thing to do here would be to remove the E7B and the 110C-4B from the EBA role all together leaving only the 109E4/B and the 109E4 to act as bomber escorts, that would mean that in only 50% of all attack missions could the fighters also carry bombs, that would also match the reds capability as currently we use the Hurricane IIb and the Spitfire which also leaves a 50% chance of the fighters carrying bombs on EBA missions. Perhaps some of the EBA aircraft could become the standard BF110C4 if the blue players want to use the 110 on escort missions, the standard model is fairer but using the BF110C4/B is not so fair because of its offensive bombload.
A fight of 4xHurricane Mk.I(INT) against 4xBF110C4/B(BA) and 4xBF110C4/B(EBA) is a very unbalanced fight.
My final point is why is the 'BA' type selectable by planner? it just means that most bombing missions for Blue will use the excellent BF110C4/B which is completely unfair, a Hurricane cannot even catch the primary blue bomber. So the 110s can dive towards the target drop bombs and then use boom and zoom tactics to knock the fighters out of the sky, its very unfair. My only suggestion here is to remove the planners ability to choose the BA aircraft, instead it should be down to the generator choosing, make it equal percentages for all BA types and let the generator choose.
Well thats my lot, please dont take my words the wrong way I am here to voice my opinions and try to add more balance to the planeset I am keen to hear constructive conversation and views from others on this subject particularly prominent blue flyers such as Rammjager, Cymao, LG965 and Hpt_Kuba what are your thoughts on the current planeset?
To all involved with the creation and administration of IL2 war thankyou, HL is not the same without this war.
-
Il2 war BoB is started like u can see!!
Anyway I'm going to join in ts with the admin and speack with him...
I suggest to explain your point of view BEFORE the Il 2 war is started...
Why so late u discuss about it?
You know us before BoB...So why didn't u contact us before?
You were welcome to make planeset too with us, np!!
So, have fun and thx for ur suggestion.
Regards
-
Thanks for the reply Ybor, I would of posted my idea sooner but I did not know what the planeset was going to be until the map started, only after seeing it could I offer an opinion.
I would happily join you to offer my opinion on future planesets. I have actually made two of the 'bellum' war templates in the past well one actually but it had 3 planesets, I created a Crimea template for EIF war, I had 3 seperate planesets for that map to emulate the three periods of battle in the Crimea, so you see I have a fair amount of experience when we talk about planesets.
I like to start with a historical planeset and then tweak it for balance, sometimes it is even necesary to add aircraft that historically were not present to provide a balanced planeset, ie. early war russian is very hard because so few bombers were available but with the new mods thats no longer an issue and we now have many aircraft types to call upon to create a balanced planeset as you have done in this planeset the allies need another bomber type so the SB2 has been included, the mods have lifted the boundaries of this game.
I would be happy to join you on TS to discuss planesets but I feel my Italian skills would let me down :)
In the meantime see you in the skies gentlemen
-
Sorry Ybor, I can see you are on TS but I cannot join you, your server is password protected, no problem perhaps you can suggest my opinions.
EDIT:
How do I PM in these forums ?
-
Thx for suggestion Classic,
The planeset has been changed, but that's not the first reason to win.
To win, to stay alive, because your dead or destroyed aircraft, cause damage at your takeoff airfield.
I would not like that it will finish always as a dogfight.
As well as in the real life.
Regards
-
...How do I PM in these forums ?
Hi Classic.
Just click on the nick of the pilot you want to send a PM to, then you'll see his/her personal details page, with 3 different vertical menu-boxes named "Info Profilo", "Modifica Profilo" and "Azioni". In the last box "Azioni", click on "Invia messaggio personale".
Or you can click on "Invia un messaggio personale a questo utente" in the bottom-most box.
-
I'm glad you liked the suggestions, so often in previous wars anyone daring to mention the planeset must surely be whining and is flamed immediately.
Very refreshing to see such administration S!
Have you considered a Battle of France campaign? I would be interested in producing a template for you if you would use it, do your templates use the same style as the original Bellum templates?
See you in the skies
@Ripley, thankyou for the instructions but when I click on a name for example your name in this thread I get the following message
"Molto spiacente, ma non puoi vedere alcun profilo."

Ooops ! Didn't know that, sorry.
It means "Sorry, but you can't see any profile".
I'll talk with our Commander In Chief about it.
Hopefully he'll sort it out.

Thanks Ripley.
