Re: New patch?

[doc1kelley]

Hmmm... I just logged into game and was auto-rapedated to patch 3 but no info anywhere on the website or the BBS of this patch.  Inquiring minds wanna know...hehehe

Sorry for the delay, hitech always get me to approve any changes and I have been at work. Here is what I have given the go ahead on:

Version 2.21 Patch 3 Changes
======================

This patch changes the host data architecture and structure.  There should be no change to the exterior workings of the game.  This change is part of the development of hosted user spawned arenas of limited capacity.

In game pop-up messages now show up in the upper left hand corner in a cascading fashion.

Fixed a bug with the gunsights in the B-25's waist gunner position.

Fixed a sorting issue with squad art on the Ar 234.

Fixed propeller and blood issues on the Mosquito XVI.

The in cockpit propeller controls on both Mosquitos are now mated to the correct engines.

Il-2 cockpit landing gear indicators now mate up with the correct landing gear.

Yes I know, but apparently we had no advanced warning.  The ones in the arena advised that we were going to be reset and all were on patch 2 but I was there with patch 3 when it all reset.  Normally we have some notice of some sort but nothing.  I was just being lazy and didn't want to search the directory as I thought somebody would have announced something.

All the Best...

In other words... nevermind the patch as there is nothing to see here... move along!
Except that it has broken a bunch of stuff that will require another patch or two or three!

Probably just all in the timing. Release the patch and you went in before he could finish inputting info on the Website as it is there now.

Also made everything invulnerable, ie ack, town, fields...  Ack can still kill YOU all the same.

Big time.  Can't kill any strats.  'Structure destroyed' message; non specific.  Structure still standing.

No .sr command.  More to follow.

[Ack-Ack]

Ack can still kill YOU all the same.

As if there was any doubt.

ok so time to avoid logging in to the game till the next fixer patch? or is it still worth flying in? because i love blowing planes up, not buildings...

No carrier based Georges. In fact, the Sam "Reppu" A7M was intended to replace the A6M as the principle carrier-borne fighter.

With the game the way it is, ppl using 47s with 1000lbers and a 500lber centerline to kill CVs and CAs, I wonder how much use D4Y and B6N would actually get. Probably the same reason why no one really complains about not having an SB2C.

I do agree, however, that there are gaps in the IJN, Russian, and Italian planesets.

However - since the Brewster broke some ground - there's a slew of aircraft that could be considered that came from smaller countries, or for whatever reason, have been neglected by history...IAR 80s, Dewotine D.520, Moraine Ms.406, Boomerang, Wirraway, etc., that fit the criteria for combat as well as some aircraft we currently have. Yes, its true, most would be FSO or AvA aircraft, would be hangar queens in the LW, but so are a bunch of planes we have now.

all these planes here would get the "dedicateds". like every plane in the game, pilots dedicate themselves to one or two different planes. i myself dedicate my flying time to the P51B and the A6M5b....Ive seen dedicated pilots to the Brewbrew and Ju87 even, and I-16. there would be the same for these planes you listed...
