I thought it only paused in singleplayer. The action keeps going when you press the PS button online. :confused:

Pauses the position of the buttons, so if you were banking and pulling to turf then you will keep doinb it.

I need practice!!

Any places available?

oh, i misread his post. need more coffee!

I was wondering what we're gonna call our flight?

I'm working on a signature and wondered?

I used 54 sqn as a test...

There is no limit on the amount of players for this one. Just send Edal86 a message and you're in.

Cheers dude... you just gave me a great idea. I've been trying to think of a name for the flight I'm in, and I think I've got it: 666 Squadron :D

Of course, the other guys have to approve, but I'm putting dibs on it for now.

I'm cool with whatever. :cool:

Wow.. Some serious typo's! I think I need the coffee!

we're waiting on a couple of prospects to take over sgt pappy's spot, other than that new players can be drafted every week

1. u only need to take screenshots, if u are landed, and stand still. works fine.(+stats at the beginning and ending)

2. ive asked tommykocher, he would fly with the russians. but he has biiig problems with the english speech. (me to ^^)
so he wouldnt join this forum.

This looks like its gonna be great fun. Looks detailed - edal you worked HARD on this! If we need to push the start date back just to make sure we all understand properly, we should.

Macademic ist Östreicher, er kannt vielleicht helfen besser als mich... I can't translate the rules, maybe he can

Tell tommykocher he's welcome to join the tournament later, though he may end up on either team. Wir haben ein ander Flieger gefinden (gefunden? Ich vergesse...)

.

Yes, as long as it took you to write all that, it will also take all of us a while to read and comprehend it... and translate it into French and German. Which probably only Macademic and philabong can do.

Just read through the rules.....Edal you have been busy, awesome stuff.

One question though regarding the team list in post #3, I assume they are PSN ID's

cos if they are I will be adding them all to my friend list, as per your suggestion, except for filthyprick who's ID I believe is Lance1721

i agree


i'll do the french translation, should be ready by tomorow evening

i think, i understand now everything. if there is a question from a german comrade i will help him.

Thanks To All
 

Thank You guys,

Rhah,
Thanks for answering some of the players questions, I think you understand the rules pretty well.

Winny,
That signature of Squadron 54 looks amazing. What program do you guys use? You are not using Paint right? lol

Philabong,
You are a live saver once more. Thanks for doing the French Translation (again) :D. If Macademic could translate to German it would be great.

To All,
Since the rules are pretty juicy and "intense" as you guys say, Would any of you mind Delaying the Official Start until Monday, January 18? The Pre-Openning would Start Tuesday, January 12.

Fangface666,
Yes, the players names on the Team's Post are the PSN ID's (except for Filthyprick)

Kozzmo,
Zatoichi, Sanjuro can be on your team if you like since you will have a man less until March. Let me Know so I can add him to the team list.

* Your availability, kozzmo, will not affect the tournament, as long as you are able to visit this forum on Mondays

* I-153, this plane I dont mind prohibiting it, its USSR's choice, I did want to limit its use though (no officers may use it). If you are an officer I will just subtract the kills that a player had with it from the deaths of the enemy. (I will count the deaths of the I-153 officer as punishment. (believe me, I will have updated data of everything.)

* Bombing a landing or landed enemy in CTA is ok (This is directly from Il2 1946 Hyperlobby server rules "Grounded Planes can be attacked by bombs and rockets only". It may be frustrating to explode while trying to capture an Airfield but that is where organization and team work comes in. (15 second respawn will help a little) Maps with 2 airfields must be priority option settings.

* Bombers (1/3) they are easy to kill without proper fighter support. I may change this to 1 bomber per every 2 players. However, the number of bombers used will be the team's decision.

* "Hangar E" Example: If the UK controls the UK, Ardennes, Italy, and Germany for 1 week that adds to 4500 Income that week (assuming a team Resource providers are 0% damaged. A team can save resources by purchasing Hangar A most of the time. Hangar E is meant to make it possible to fly Jets, but really limit the times they are used.

* Glitchy Strike, it takes about 2 successful bombing runs by a big bomber to destroy 1 target. Crashing into the Ground Target (kamikaze) to damage it will result in 2 week suspension (this will need to be reported)

* Translations. Philabong posted that he will translate to French, Maybe Macademic can tranlate to German. (You dont have to translate everything just what is inportant for gameplay. Tournament may be delayed until Monday, January 18.

* Arado will be impossible to reach in VIP Escort, but if a team has sacrified so much to save up 5000 resources then it is only fair to allow them to use this plane, besides; its the VIP :). Anyway, it is very unlikely that a team will happen to have 5000 resources to spare at the same time that a Air Commodore is Promoted to the VIP Rank.

* 3 briefings a week = unknown number of matches. matches may take place any time, and any day as long as it is within the date limit or until a team reaches the Briefing's Cummulative Objective. Example: I am online a wednesday and irrelevant, silence and rhah are online playing COD, then I also see Varcus2 and Olife- (as always :)) online. After that, Mirgervin and Macademic suddenly log in. Now it will be 4 vs 4. As long as one player on each team have the appropriate Rank, then we can play any of the 3 Game modes. We can play as many matches as we like until we get bored or decide that is better for the team to stop playing (or a player needs to leave "whatever reason"). Then, the screenshots will be sent and the data will be gathered and added. Updated data of the result of matches will be posted 2 or 3 times a week (or when a team completes a Briefing's Objective.

next question ...

u decide what mission we have to play?

Photoshop.

http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/z...gnaturewin.jpg

I might have a go at doing some rank insignia for you.. If you want?

Players must decide (attacking team players must decide)

Example: If I am Wing Commander and I got to choose the Settings for that week's Air Superiority Briefing, then I will be attacking side. Remember, in order to get promoted my team needs to have mission successful at the end of the week for Air Superiority Mission. If my interest is to get promoted, then, you will most likely find me online all day everyday, hosting Air Superiority Matches (team death match in strike). Understand? Or since I am Wing Commander, I will be able to accept any CTA or any other challenge matches from the attacking team. I can also host CTA or STRIKE (bombing) matches to help out my team. I am using myself as in general, it could be you in this situation

I will let you know thanks for the offer. Photoshop is expensive software?

* its dihno28 not 48

A signature must have all 4 players on it please, this way it will be easier for me to edit.

*** Can you please make me a signature with all players of my squadron/flight:
edal86, infinitestates, haitch40, hrok81
- name it 201st Fighter Squadron, please
- same concept of the RAF insignia, but can you have the P-47D instead of the spitfire?

THANKS in advance

I have to go to work now.

Please, those who understand the rules fell free to answer any question that a participants has so that their question does not get lost in my absence.

* Rhah can help

I'll have a go.. have you got a squadron badge/logo? Oops about Dihno.. removed it.

It can be ;) lol.

if it weren't for philabong, varcus and olife would have no idea what was going on

macademic is on vacation for the next few days

that is a good idea, though weekdays depend heavily on time of day. The 18th is far enough away that I can schedule a day off, but tuesday's not. I gotta work at 9:30gmt


beat you to it, check your inbox

what about the i-153's, and dropping bombs on runways

I was thinking, if I could copy those rules (text form) I would be able to put it in some translator (google or..?). So it maybe would be easier to me get the big picture of what's going on. I think you can't copy text on that rules pic. Or am I wrong? * I'm browsing with my mobilephone now, so I can't try it*

You dont need to go as far as to ask for the day off, The tournament starts on the 18th, but matches can be played throughout the week. I bet the first day will be slow, then as players know that it has started, it will pick up participation (hopefully) :)

I did answer all of your questions, check the post # 321

I have the text document for the rules, you wont be able to copy paste the text on the posted document because it is an image.

Yeah, like edal said its an Image. And putting it through a translator on google will not translate it anywhere close to what the original said.

i tried translating something for that Stiinger guy and it turned out terrible, however it was funny to see when he translated it back to me.

edal buddy you have created something special here, i understand most of it but its nothing reading it afew times over wont solve. Besides once we all play afew matches first we should all get the hang of things :grin:

Couldn't have been more thorough with the rules. You really have gone over everything twice haven't you ;)

Thanks :D, it is what I was aiming for.
Yes, as soon as people get the hang of things it will be better. first week may be chaos, I hope I will be wrong

I've done one for 201st..
i used the real 201st logo, let me know if you'd prefer something else (I can easily change anything on here)

http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/z...01squadron.jpg

Wow mate! Luv it! :D

wow, it looks amazing :D

can you use this insignia instead?
http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/t...l86/logo-1.jpg

Sorry, one last thing, can you make it all a little bigger?

Thanks winny

That's very impressive, you have quite a knack for doing these. Regarding the emblem though I think edal has the Mexican 201st in mind, they flew P-47s during the Second World War. I'm not entirely sure what their emblem looked like though, but here's the wiki page on them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/201_Squadron_%28Mexico%29

EDIT: Beaten to it by the man himself, I thought you had gone to sleep edal lol.

Still here buddy lol,

Im editing the Map right now

I wasn't gonna mention, but if you're making other changes, can you change the spelling of my name? :)

Cheers - awesome effort. Thanks. I hope you're not on the OpFor cos I'll feel bad shooting you down now lol

He is on our side :D

have you not checked the first page of this thread? It has all the players and what team they belong to. Also, check the rules if you have not already done so. Thanks :D

I've enlarged it and added the proper emblem...

If you want it any bigger it'll take a little longer but is still fairly easy.

http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/z...01squadron.jpg

If there's anything else you'd like just ask.

I just want to mention that the background on this is a picture of the sky over london during the Battle of britain..

Impressive work My friend, I could have not imagined it better :)

oh, yeah. You typed Infinitestates wrong, but other than that it is perfect.

* could not tell it is Battle of Britain, nice detail :D

wow, Winny really is an artist when it come to these. Im extremely excited to see if he will do me and my flight a signature. But im sure he realises hes going to have to do all flights in the squadron as anything else just isn't as good as Winny's designs :grin:

ok the question remains what are we doing about korsun or are we not playing that map
also the rules still look a little confusing but i will wait tilll we start to ask any questions incase they are answered in game

Im sure Edal will want so well deserved sleep soon, so if you have any questions buddy, i will try my best to answer ;)

Ok. Let me know the name of the Squadron/Flight, type of aircraft and what logo/emblem you'd like.

Here's the correct one.. Just for InfiniteStates

http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/z...squadron-1.jpg

I cleaned the P47 up a bit too.

nice work, winny! i'm impressed. :cool:

If the rest of my flight dont mind i would quite like Flight No:617 with a lancaster maybe?? that sound ok?

Awesome, thanks man :)

Someone could call their flight United 93 or U93, or is that a bit too controversial? :confused:

You mean as in respect for the hijacked airline? if so i like it

Yeah - the one's that successfully caused target denial. R.I.P (Awesome film as well, although some don't like it).

I still haven't got around to watching that film, i know some of the story already. if its on the PS store then i will definately rent it. its sad what happened that day but atleast they prevented those extremists from hitting their target.

R.I.P.

I've done one.. I'm not sure I like the Lancaster pic, it's hard to find a good side on pic...

If you see a better one let me know.
http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/z...17squadron.jpg

yea i see what you mean, still looks nice though. Would it be possible to change the avro to this
Sorry for the change in mind

http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/a...tfire/p-40.png

nice work winny

Yeah they're really well done, I just attemped to one for myself but needless to say it didn't turn out well haha, Publisher, paint and Illustrator are about as much as I can manage.

That's more like it.. Should be done by tomorrow, unless I get bored tonight.

Thanks to all who've left me comments about the sigs..

And if anyone else wants a sig just let me know.. Except you ruskies ;)

(you can if you want!)

I have come across an online editor which doesn't require download. Can come in pretty handy if you dont want to download any software

- Généralissimus de l’Union Soviétique : Ceci est le plus haut rang pour les membres de l’équipe URSS. Les mêmes règles que celles du Maréchale de la R.A.F. s’applique à ce rang.


2.1 Ressources et Manpower
- Ressources : chaque territoire sous occupation fournira des ressources à chaque semaine à l’équipe occupante
UK(1500), USSR(1500), Allemagne(1000), Ardenne(1000), Italie(1000)

Qu’est-ce qui affecte les ressources?
- les ressources fournies par un territoire seront affectés en détruisant des cibles dans les missions de bombardement stratégique (chaque cible détruite= -50 des ressources fournies par le territoire dans la semaine)
- les territoires seront « réparés » pour redonner leur maximum de ressources toutes les deux semaines ou à chaque fois qu’elle change d’occupant
À quoi servent les ressources?
- Une équipe doit fournir 300 points de ressources pour franchir un territoire inoccupé afin d’attaquer un territoire qui ne borde pas ses frontières. Par exemple, si l’URSS ne contrôle pas l’Allemagne et veut attaquer Ardenne, ils devront utiliser 300 ressources. Si l’URSS ne contrôle pas l’Allemagne ni Ardenne et veux attaquer l’UK, ils devront utiliser 600 ressources
- Les équipes peuvent « acheter » des avions avec leurs ressources. Les avions achetées serviront pour la semaine

(voir tableau des hangars dans la version anglaise)

* le I-153 peut seulement être utilisé par des airmen ayant obtenu leurs rangs (aucun officier ne peut utiliser cette avion)
** vous ne pouvez utiliser que les avions produites par les territoires sous votre contrôle
***seul les bombardier on le droit de se ravitailler en munition et carburant (voir la section sur ce qui affecte le Manpower)

- Manpower (pilotes) : chaque territoire sous contrôle fournira de nouveau pilote recrus chaque semaine
UK(300), USSR(300), Allemagne(100), Ardenne(100), Italie(100)

Qu’est-ce qui affecte le Manpower?
- chaque avion descendue déduira 1 point de Manpower pour l’équipe et ajoutera 1 mort pour le total cumulatif pour le groupe/escadron
- chaque bombardier descendu déduira 5 point de Manpower pour l’équipe et ajoutera 5 mort pour le total cumulatif pour le groupe/escadron
- si un bombardier largue toutes ses bombes et réussi à revenir à son coté de la map et atterrit (il n’a pas à atterrir sur une base), alors il aura le droit de respawn (en s’éjectant une fois au sol) sans pénalité afin de se ravitailler. Un screenshot montrant le bombardier au sol, carte ouverte, vitesse et bombes à zéro, devra être fournit et envoyé à Edal. (Dans le cas d’une carte au bord de la mer(Britain et la Côte de Sicile) il pourra atterrir n’importe où)
** tricher avec les screenshot vaudra une suspension de 2 semaines du tournoi

À quoi sert le Manpower?
- Le Manpower disponible sera divisé en trois pourcentage (le briefing de capture du territoire devra avoir 50% du Manpower, les deux autre(supériorité aérienne et bombardement stratégique) recevront 25% chaque). Avant de soumettre son briefing, un commandant de vol ou capitaine de groupe peut demander un plus grand pourcentage que le 50%. Par contre l’officier commandant aura la décision finale. Aussi, pour des raisons stratégiques, l’officier commandant peut décider de ne pas utiliser tout son Manpower disponible (un minimum de 75% du Manpower doit être utilisé chaque semaine)
**Edal s’occupe des calculs

- le Wing Commander de l’équipe à l’attaque choisira le territoire à attaquer, le temps de la journée et peut-être aussi le Manpower disponible
- ne pas avoir la supériorité aérienne sur un territoire causera à votre équipe de ne pouvoir envoyer que 75% du Manpower originalement prévu dans le briefing
- seulement les chasseurs peuvent être utilisés. BF-110 est ok
- l’objectifs de la mission pour chaque équipe sera décrite dans les briefing hebdomadaires
- le seul moyen d’obtenir la victoire est de tuer tous le Manpower envoyé par l’ennemi

Bombardement stratégique (match strike) respawn de 15 secondes
- matches de 20 minutes (vérifier les briefing chaque semaine pour info)

Capture de territoire (match capture de base) respawn de 15 secondes
- matches de 20 minutes (vérifier les briefing chaque semaine pour info)

- le Commodore de l’air de l’équipe à l’attaque choisira le territoire à attaquer, le temps de la journée, le Manpower disponible et peut-être aussi les avions disponibles
- chasseurs seulement. BF-110 est ok
- les kamikazes seront punit (dégradé/suspendus). Aussi, aussitôt que vous avez atterrit et capturé la base, vous devez re-décoller immédiatement (violation à cette règle entraînera la même punition)
- l’objectifs de la mission pour chaque équipe sera décrite dans les briefing hebdomadaires
- ne pas avoir la supériorité aérienne sur un territoire causera à votre équipe de ne pouvoir envoyer que 75% du Manpower originalement prévu dans le briefing
- si le territoire à capturé a été bombardé avec succès (10 cibles détruites durant un bombardement stratégique sur ce même territoire), alors l’équipe à l’attaque n’aura qu’a gagner 4 matches (sinon ils auraient à en gagner 8 ) pour obtenir la victoire. L’équipe à l’attaque peut également obtenir la victoire en détruisant la totalité du Manpower envoyé par l’ennemi
- l’équipe défensive peut obtenir la victoire en détruisant la totalité du Manpower envoyé par l’ennemi ou en remportant 6 matches dans la semaine
- échouer cette mission vaudra au Commodore de l’air d’être rétro-gradé au rang de chef d’escadron, ou tué (si son groupe de vol atteint 200 morts cumulatives)

- l’équipe défensive doit descendre le VIP 3 fois pour avoir la victoire (l’emboutissage est illégal)
- le VIP doit prendre un screenshot de la map pour confirmé qu’il a atteint sa destination. Le plus haut gradé de l’équipe à la défense doit prendre un screenshot des game stats aussitôt que le VIP montre 3 morts
- tous les participant de l’équipe gagnante seront promus d’un rang
- si l’équipe escortant le VIP obtient la victoire, ils gagneront automatiquement le contrôle du territoire. L’échec de la mission entraînera la mort du VIP


2.3 Briefings
- 3 briefings par saisons (semaines) seront affichés. Ils décriront les objectifs de missions pour chaque équipe
- la plupart des settings seront choisis par les Officiers du Big 3

Vert : soumettre
Jaune : organisez et préparer à soumettre
Rouge : session en cours

- ensuite l’équipe qui choisira les setting pour 1/3 missions devra soumettre son plan avant lundi 11 :59 pm heure du pacifique
* À tous les joueurs : si vous êtes un des top 3 officiers rankés et que vous savez que vous ne pourrez pas, ou ne voulez pas, décider du sort de votre équipe, SVP faite le savoir à Edal ou Kozzmo pour qu’ils décident à votre place

(voir les exemples de plans dans la version anglaise)


2.4 Info additionnelle importante
- pour tous les matches, 2 screenshots devront être envoyés à Edal (1 avant le match avec tous les joueurs avec le crochet vert « ready » sauf l’hôte, le second montrant le resultats du match). Recommande qu’un joueur (ou deux) par équipe prennent le cliché avant le match, et que deux joueurs de l’équipe gagnante prennent le cliché après le match
- en envoyant les screenshots à Edal, indiquez si c’est le 1er ou 2e et le numéro du briefing. Exemple du titre du message, utiliser B pour briefing : B USSR (001) 1st
- vous êtes responsable de vous assurer que vous êtes crédités pour vos matches
- setting du temps de la journée peuvent seulement être matin, jour et soir (pas la nuit)


2.5 Façon d’être suspendu/dégradé

- les chasseurs peuvent utiliser des bombes dans tous les matches. Seuls les bombardiers peuvent se ravitailler
- les kamikazes seront punis (pas de crash sur un avion au sol ou sur les cibles terrestres)
- pas le droit de garder une piste, aussitôt atterrit et la piste conquise, vous devez décoller
- c’est pas mal tout, les traîtres et espions seront exécutés sans procès… pour le reste amusez-vous!!

this is quite big so i'll delete this post once edal and kozzmo both have it and place it where they think will b best, unless they decide it should remain there
couldnt send it as pm cause its way too big

cheers guys

PS: 2 questions :
- whats that "called by desperate times" thing? - this is only mentionned in the big 3 ranking and doesnt refers to anything in the rest of the text
- what happens if u get to Wing commander or better and ur group gets to 200 cumulative deats? - again nothing in the text refers to that event but u do say something along the lines of "will respawn at air cadet rank UNLESS reached Wing commander rank or better"

French Translation Ready on First Post
 

Thanks again for your translation philabong :D (French Translation is already on the first post)

(can any one highlight philabong's french translation post and use google translation to translate the text to another language (example, German). Read it and please post if it is a good translation. (I did this already but I dont understand a thing in German so I could not tell, I have saved it as a document though just in case)

Answers to Your 2 Questions:
1. "Desperate Times": A team must always have 1 of each of the top 3 ranks so that they can manage the weekly briefings. So, even if a player does not have the appropriate medal they still may be promoted to one of these ranks. Example: The Air Commodore's team failed to complete the objective for that week's Territory Capture Briefing (he gets demoted to squadron leader or dies). The same week, the Group Captain of the same team completes the objectives for that week's Strategic Bombing Briefing (he gets medal and promoted to Air Commodore). Then, The Wing Commander fails the mission objectives for Air Superiority (he gets promoted to Group captain but no medal, unless there are 2 or more players that have achieved the requirements for Wing Commander, in this case the Wing Commander will get demoted to squadron leader or will die) Finally, The new Wing Commander's rank will be filled by a Squadron Leader that has all requirements to get the rank (or if requirements not met, it will be squadron leader with more sorties)

2. What happens if you get wing commander or better and your flight reached 200 deaths?
- If you reached the Wing Commander rank's requirements before your team reaches 200 deaths, then, your survival will now depend on your success in completing a week's mission objectives. Wether you die or get demoted to Squadron Leader depends on wether your Flight has reached 200 deaths or not (most likely they will have because it is a week's worth of deaths :)) Another thing, wether you are promoted to the next Big 3 Rank without a medal or get demoted to squadron leader depends on wether the mission objectives you failed happened during a week where you selected the settings (you were the attacking Officer)

* this system allows a constant refreshment of players managing a team, this way no one becomes dictator for a long time :)

if there is a game today or tomorow message me il be most likely playing mag

----------------------------------

Hallo zusammen,

Ich werde die Regeln auf Deutsch übersetzen, kann es aber erst kommende Woche angehen (vermutlich Dienstag). Bitte solange um etwas Geduld.

Thank you for doing this Macademic :D

** Can anyone explain to me, help me, how to create a signature with animation? like Haitch40's?

Thanks, I tried using photobucket by creating a 2 image slideshow. It turned out to be what I wanted but I could not post it or edit my signature so that It would do the 2 image slideshow

vielen dank. das erspart mir kopfschmerzen ... ^^

ask p51
he did mine if i remember right

create a multiple-layer image where each layer is a complete frame (not a transparency or an overlay) then save it as a .gif file.

When you save a .gif, there is an option to mark it as an animation, then it will play back as an animation on most browsers.

Or mail me the stuff and ill do it for you :D (i did my sig, haitch40's and most of the VAS ones i think. - ones that look like mine)

couple more, better to be a lawyer now than later:

) if you wipe out all the opponent's manpower during the middle of a match, do you play the match through to the end, or stop, or take a screenshot, or what...

it's possible that both teams manpower might be exhausted before the end of a match, if so there has to be some kind of evidence of which one died first.

) in territorial capture, do you have to take off if there's an opponent already landed on the runway? Maybe you finish the capture right before they get below 40kph, then as soon as you're above 40kph on the way to taking off, you see the message that opponent is capturing the airfield.

Use anything that can create/edit GIF animations. I use PaintshopPro myself - it comes with a separate animation editor.

Actually, while that's still a question, would anyone know how to get this ( http://img709.imageshack.us/i/p51.swf/ ) As a signature? I wanted it around X-mas time but obviously that didn't work... lol

1) I will do my best to keep the each mission's progress updated. Once the mission objective for a team is completed I will post it so that players stop playing that game mode. There will be no guarantee, though, that players will know that they are playing the last decisive match. I will add all screenshots results by date and time that I receive them. To answer your question, you will always finish matches (I must receive screenshots of the End Match Results) except for the VIP Escort mission. If it is the case where both teams need only 10 (just as an example) deaths to fail the mission and on a decisive match the end results are 13 deaths to 11 deaths, then it will be mission success for the team with the least deaths (All of the deaths and kills of that match will count for a player's flight and team stats). I am not saying that this situation wont happen but keep in mind that most of the time a team will be at a disadvantage regarding the deaths they can afford in any given game mode (reasons: what team has air superiority over territory, # of manpower sent, and perhaps the enemy's planes are better :)

2) Since most Territory Capture will take place in maps with 2 airfields, there wont be as much vultures vulching. In any case, yes, if you capture an airfield and the game reads "Team A has Capture an Airfield" you must take off even if there is an enemy landing. (you will have plenty of time to get on his six and drop a bomb on him or machine gun him). I mean, what is the purpose in having a plane from both teams landed on same airfield waiting for the other to die, so they will be able to capture it? Hopefully, team work and communication will help these situations not to happen (like 2 guys clear the airfield and watch over the skies while another captures the airfield) Remember its about helping your team get mission success now, it is no longer about you and getting the most points in a match to go up the game's leaderboards. This Is why I created this tournament

Aren't the only 2-airfield maps in UK and USSR? Gumrak/Stalingrad City and those two in the UK. Maybe in Korsun/Schevchevinskiy

If you don't mind giving that to the Russian's RED REAPERS that would be cool with me!

Winny thats perfect, i love it! Thanks alot buddy :grin:

Iwill take a look at it, I thought there were more. I may just assign the korsun map to germany or italy then, and one of the UK maps to the ardennes, I will tell you guys when I figure it out. I really dont want CTA matches to happen on 1 airfield maps, what do you guys suggest?

How about use the native 2 airfields for whichever side controls the territory; if no side controls it, the side with air superiority; if no air superiority, flip a coin or use stalingrad for ussr-controlled zones and korsun for neutral. I'm not sure korsun even has 2 airfields.

requiring takeoff after completing a capture isn't enough to prevent 2 planes on the ground. There's also landing to stop a capture in progress.

... sorry but more details to hammer out: when a bomber returns to its side of the map, what exactly is its side? Past its own bunkers?

I just checked and there are only 2 maps with 2 airfields (Britain and USSR (stalingrad)). A side will always control a territory, a side will always have air superiority over a territory (Italy is Neutral because It would be unfair to give it to a team (it would be 3 territories to 2)

* How about: if the territory of interest for capture is badly damaged (10 targets were previously destroyed in Strategic Bombing) then, the CTA matches will take place in a single airfield map. If the territory was not successfully bombed, then, CTA matches will take place in 2 airfield maps. Wether the map is from Britain or the USSR will depends on who is defending the territory. It will either be like this example I just mentioned or just play each match according to the territory to capture no matter if there is only 1 airfield or two.

* Bomber return to base: yes, the bomber icon has to be behind friendly lines, that is near or behind the blue markers which represent your teams ground targets. That is why I ask for a screenshot of the landed bomber with the map open (the map is transparent and I will be able to see the plane and its speed and bombs.

* Capturing Airfields: If you are capturing an airfield and the percentage progress stops that means the enemy has landed. I guess you can stay there and wait for your enemy to be destroyed, but I dont want to see a plane landed after the airfield has been captured and when the closest enemy is not even near the airfield or is busy engaging your team mate in a dogfight. Understand? Of course we can go on with what if situations but I think that I am clear in what I mean. My main problem has been solved by not allowing bombers because I remember playing CTA and bombers would just rest on an airfield and shoot down any enemy getting near the airfield.

[edit] dont worry about questions, ask all the details necessary. I at least want you to understand all rules because USSR is now your responsibility. Any questions that may arise on your private website I will be happy to answer. If you understand these rules, then, I will assume USSR team understands them. Also, you can supervise that I am not bending the rules so USSR knows I am not favoring UK team

most of the contingencies will happen eventually. So if I understand it right, parking after capture is forbidden but landing to interrupt a capture is not.

Successful bombing already gives an advantage to the attacker via rules, but a single runway handicaps both sides. With 8 players it's like an air show by the 3 stooges, the marx brothers and laurel and hardy. The runway disappears in a haze of smoke

I hope the penalty for ramming bombers is for deliberate collision as opposed to accidents, if you attack a bomber intelligently with a weave pattern there's bound to be occasional collisions.

* What I dont want is for a player to remain landed and impede the enemy from capturing the airfield. Dont worry about this matter anymore, I will bring it up to you guys if I see happening what I dont want to see happening.

* I dont believe in accidents in this tournament, either you ram an enemy bomber or you dont. You guys will just have to be extra careful when attacking bombers. Of course, it may happen without intention but you can always prevent this. Only if the bomber player reports this as intentional then I will punish the rammer as I stated. Remember bombers are worth 5 deaths for a reason (so they want to stay alive). In the case that the bomber player reports this but does not find that you did it intentionally I will still have to demote the rammer at least 1 rank

* CTA matter: I have to find a way for this. yes its true, a successful strategic bomber already helps the attacker in CTA. I will let you know or mention it on the actual Briefing objective

Finally, I was able to create an animated signature with GIMP (it appears to be free a very simple to use) hehe

All members of my flight please use my animated signature this way I can update your rank (I sent you a PM with the image URL)

* I know the orange advertisement may not be very appealing but since you guys are in my flight you will help me advertise this tournament LOL, sorry
