Team Balancing Discussion

Yes, I guess those are the most probable reasons.

1. AA can't hit a barn door 5 meters away

2. Too much AA will bring ANY PC to it's knees and it still won't hit anything

We'll just have to wait for improvements in upcoming patches.

Sorry Krupi, Im not really with you on this one although I do sympathise you. As some one else said it does swing both ways. I actually prefer it when there are more reds, it means no out of the blue 109 is going to steal my kill and when I go to ID an aircraft its more than likely hostile


During the Multisquad Battle of Britain Campaign 5./JG27 ran reds out numbered blue 2:1! So it would be interesting to know how many pilots who would allie themselves red are actually flying blue because they currently prefer some aspects of blue aircraft over there usual kites. For example: Only blenhiem for bombing, prop pitch in hurri spit, no cannons etc... Whereas blue has a wider range currently in the game.

I also agree with SNAFU. If the objectives where much more about the bombers and the targets say "won the map" and made it rotate. This would focus the fighter elements in attack and defence of the bombers...

I do not think forcing team balance by script is a good idea. Placing more AA to deter vulchers is obviously not working and I for one have fell victim to this AA whilst dogfighting near an enemy airfield on several occasions when I have been pilot killed by Bofors 40mm AA... You can ban vulching with guns and just leave bombs but you take away the historical element. Although I do agree some people take vulching far to far and its just silly...

S!

As an admin, i would ban him for a lifetime!!!!

Vulching is allowed on that server. Classic moment last night watching a 109 vulching Manston as I warmed up: he came screaming in, ripped the spit next to me apart with his cannon, couldn't pull up in time and plastered himself all over the hanger. I actually laughed out loud!

No spit2 on the new mission...

Ha 2 spittys did that to me last week at Calais Marck. No big deal. Just select another place to join.

Attacking airfield assets was a valid/historical strategy for both sides, its just a matter of teamwork and picking another base if an individual does not want to be straffed consecutively. It takes a minute to respawn at another field or teamwork to get a wingman on coms and fly base cap but I find it interesting how much energy people put into typing about getting attacked while there airspeed is zero when Im sure the solution is simple Besides after 20 minutes flying in my Ju88 its nice to see a bandit looking at his checklist once in a while

Who wants a fair fight anyway.

I want a 2 to 1 more advantage in favor of the other side. That way you see a contact you can immediately assume it is not your friend. Hate having to watch and watch and look around seeing if I can see the bullseye on the side of the plane or not. You get 30 red and 10 blue that is perfect. LETS DANCE!!!

I want to be productive, busy, not bored. Otherwise I feel I am wasting time, bandwidth and virtual fuel.
