1st Multisquad Campaign Battle of Britain

[JG52Uther]

Bliss would you be happy making up seperate channels on the aTAG TS for the different squads participating in this event as a temporary measure?

I made an error but you learn from these mistakes and make sure you don't repeat them. By the time I did get airborne having waited patiently behind the Hurris our mission objective was pretty well scupperred.

I would have thought that having fighter groups spread over more airfileds would allow them to get airborne and form up quicker. They could also form a 'big wing' if necessary far quicker.

As I said, this was my first experience and OK, only 1.4 kills but I would certainly like to join up with a Spit squadron and hone my group co-operation skills - flying solo is one thing but flying as part of a much bigger plan is wholly different. I will definitely be logging into next weeks match for sure and look forward to being part of Gromics group.

I think its new concept for quite a few guys. We should have thought of the time factor to get the Spits up and away and given them room to do that but hindsight's a wonderful thing.

Its really important that we get the detail right in the leader briefings so don't be shy to put your point. To be honest with such a large map compared with the numbers available something is always going to slip through the net.

I know plans only survive up to the point of engagement with the enemy but we can try to get engaged on our terms.

Yes, Ulrich Steinhilper was the man given the job of driving RT comms through and he even had problems with Galland (and the other 'Spaniards' as he called them) not wanting to know during the early period.
In the RAF the Squadrons may have heard eachother but control and direction mainly came from the ground from a Sector controller. We don't have that so we arrange for the leaders to talk to eachother, cutting out the middle man.

Of course. I've already told Rudelmann that their leaders could have admin control to a particular section so they could add/setup/edit channels for their own event however they liked.

Rubbish eh? So what's your excuse for not joining where the red were last week. I'd wager a guess it's holding a grudge or your pride. There is no overdramatizing at all. The drama started when you couldn't even join a TS.

Please do fill the rest of the red in.

What drama?. Yet again you feel the need to stir up something that isnt there. We just dont want anything to do with you. Thats our prerogative. We spoke to Farber about it and it was explained to us that not being on your TS channel was fine by them. Its their server mission and their rules. If you dont like it then so what?.

We are more than happy to use the Teamspeak that was allocated by Farber on the first week. Thankfully Im not on your Team for this so Ive no need to speak or listen to you any way.

Like you said, Bickering is ridiculous so lets just leave this out, ok?...

As I explained to Farber its because we didnt want to use your TS channel. Its no secret that we dont get along. Why on earth would we want to be associated with you in any way?. Like I said tho...we checked with the organisers and they said no probs. I can see that you are trying to suggest that we are not team players here. Fair enough if that is your intention. Im pretty sure tho that people can see through that.

[ATAG_Bliss]

I have yet to bicker. There's 2 pages in this thread simply because you couldnt join a ts. The drama belongs to you. Unlike you we don't care if we have to fly with syn or not. We are here to try and enjoy a big teamwork event.

This is why we can't have nice things

Organizers, maybe just make sure the briefing places Syndicate pilots on an airfield to their own, that way they can be on their own comms and not have to worry about coordinating ground movement.

If they require contacting other red pilots, the in game friendly only chat box will work. Simple phrases. Require assist. H14. 8k ft.

Solved.

Moving on!

Mind you, if the Reds want to make use of our entire teamspeak for this weekly event they are more than welcome. We cant however hold more than 35 people so both teams isnt an option for us.

The offer is there if you want it, guys

Sounds good bliss.


So has anyone worked out the correlation between the CTD and hardware/settings? Is there a quick and dirty fix?
