[Dichotomy]

   I knew that was coming eventually. Possible other permutations are Dyke-o, Ditch-o, and the list goes on..

oops ... back on topic..

[captain1ma]

Were they trying to take the base?

no they were ho'ing and vulching for no reason, or i should say, because they could!

[captain1ma]

Ok heres my proposal for Tuesday Night if you guys are up for it!

Settings to consider for this battle:
***friendly's at D800 (split the difference)
***killshooter OFF
***turn ack up for this event? <edit>
it will be all about knowing or identifying the bad guys! yes i know check 6's are more difficult, but thats the fun of it!
also it will make BNZ more difficult!

Battle of the bridges:

V9 and V13  ---winner is the guy that captures the other base!

base support
V9 will have A21 for air support and A3 for gv support(planes will be disabled at that base)
V13 will have V14 for gv support and A4 for air support.

all bases not in this setup will have planes and GV's disabled to make sure it stays fair. this means ill have to reset the arena a couple of times, once beforehand, once later.

Vbase has to be taken by Gv troops. no air drops. c47 will be removed or troops(in the c47) will be disabled for resupplying. (ill have to see what the setup will let me do)

bombers will only be able to bomb target base and supporting Air base, and area gv's. supporting Vbases will be off limits.

channel 200 will be off limits for the duration of the event except for salutes! violators will be muted. you will be able to PM me if you have a problem but no conversations on 200, they usually lead to something we don't want.

The Battle Area: 9 and 13 will be the battle area. you can blow up bridges, blow up GV's and dog fight. you may bomb the crap out of the town and vehicles in it. the support bases are off limits to both sides. this means you can wipe out the target base, but you cant touch any other bases. this way the target bases will still be defendable.

aircraft and vehicles:

USAAF (Bishops)
P-38J
P-47D11
P-47D25
P-51B
B-17
B-24
C-47

GVs
Jeep
The Ms
M4A3 (75mm)


Luftwaffe (Knights)

FW-190A8
BF-109G6
BF-109G14
BF-110G
Ju-88
C-47


GVs
Jeep
Panzer IV
SdKfz 251
Ostwind
Wirbelwind


ARENA SETTINGS:

Bombsight: AvA standard (try it, it's fun)
Killshooter: ***OFF***
Visibility: 14.0 miles
Fuel burn rate: 1.0
Ack settings: .50
Base capture: 10 (map room .0015)
Radar (1943):
  Sector 316,800
  Tower 132,000
Icons:  Enemy off, Friendly short(D800)

Axis radio 123
allies radio 126

200 off limits except for side switching announcements and salutes

Rules of Engagement:
1. no taunting, flaming etc. violators will be ejected. Zero Tolerance rule.
2. Ho'ing-- to be kept to a minimum. obvious violators will be sternly notified, but nothing more then that. We know its gonna happen, we just prefer that it doesn't.

ok look at the proposal above. changes are in red. see if this setup is acceptable to all of you?

[Dichotomy]

i'm very close to moving my 40" tv over to my computer, and using that for a monitor. 

I played on a HD 120" prejector screen in my theater room for about a year...  Size helps but can also be a problem if you go to big....

[JC67]

sounds good to me

niiiiice


something i was kind of curious about.

 there's been threads before where some people have used those virtual goggles......they in themselves are monitors, and they have motion trackers built in. i wonder how they'd work in this environment?

[grumpy37]

no clue but i know a fw times i felt queezy looking at the screen when moving around a lot...

[Puma44]

Pull the trigger, Cap!  . Let's get on with it!   . Sounds like more great fun to be had.  

 The issue of vulchers.....well it seems the ones that just can't resist it are either not capable or hesitant to get it on in a wide open dog fight.  But, would rather troll around tagging airplanes on the ground.  Basically, very little skill level demonstrated.  My offer still stands.  Whoever has the burning urge to vulce, let me know on 200 and I'll up on the runway, engine off, and make it so there is little skill or effort required to get that "vulch O ram a" fix.   I'll even up the largest aircraft available.....just to make it reeeeeeal easy.

I have a pair of those vuzix vr920.

I was just never happy with the resolution. I didn't spend enough trying to tweak em and then when I finally thought I'd drag em out and try em again, I found that a rodent of some kind had chewed through the wires.

I'll have to send them back to the company for repair and just haven't done that yet.

would i be too nosey to ask how much they cost? and how was the depth perceptoin with em?

Lessee, I think I paid about 250-300? on Ebay. New they are about 400.

I don't remember what they were like depth perception wise. That was a couple of AH versions ago.

Kind of shows you what I thought of them that I just stuck em in a cabinet for the last year or two.

I think it's a technology that has potential, but the resolution really needs to improve, I remember having a lot of trouble reading the text buffer with them on.

If I ever get them repaired, I'll do some more testing and write up a review.
