Come play in the Snow: New Setup tommorrow
« on: January 17, 2002, 02:23:44 PM »
S!

There will be a new setup in the CT tommorrow, should be ready to fly at 2pm EST.

It`s the `Cauldron of Fire` Sixth Army surrounded at Stalingrad, setup we wanted to have 2 weeks ago until the gremlins popped up...   :rolleyes:

It will use the revised Stalingrad Terrain.  This terrain has winter tiles and has never been used in the main arenas.  Wait to enter the arena to load it.   The version on the HTC `Downloads` page may not be the correct version.

This is the aircraft lineup:

Axis

German

109F4
109G2
109G6 (2 point perk)
190A5
190F
Ju88
C-47 (limited bases)

Italian

MC202

GV`s

MkIV
M8 (subbing for German armoured car)
M3 (subbing for German halftrack)
Ostwind


Soviet:

Yak9T
La5FN (1 point perk)
IL-2
B-26 (2 point perk)
C-47  (limited bases)

Lendlease

Hurricane IIC
Hurricane IID

GV`s

Mk IV (subbing for T-34)
M8  (subbing for Soviet light tank)
M3
M16

The situation would start with Stalingrad mostly in the hands of the Germans, but surrounded after the Soviet Winter Counteroffensive of November `42.

Each side will have defined objectives which they must capture. Victory will be determined by a CT Staff member every night at 12 midnight EST. If a side has achieved their victory conditions, then a victory will be declared and the Arena will be reset.

Base capture will most often require the use of M3`s.  There are outlying spawn points on most of the fields which allow quick movement to neighbouring fields and Vehicle bases.  C-47`s will be restricted in the fields they may fly from.  We are trying to simulate the fact most of the terrain capture in this scenario was by ground forces.

The German Objectives would be to break the ring encircling Stalingrad and drive the Soviets back. The Soviet objective would be to eliminate the pocket and drive West to take Rostov.

More details on the exact fields controlled, fields required to be captured for victory and aircraft basing in the `Message of the Day` popup when you log in.

We may leave this up for only 1 week depending on the availability of other terrain and setups.

Sounds good...but here's my question: Why is the G6 a perk? It performs worse in every way to the 190A5 and 109G2. And why is the La5 a 1 point perk and the G6 a 2 point perk? The La5 will kick the snot out of a 109G6 everytime.

Not trying to be an ass, just wondering what the logic was to it.

Looking forward to checking it out!

La5 will kick the snot out of a G6 any time??? Really? Wow, You seem to know the G6 very well, Raub.

Although the G6 is my fav ride, I don't mind the (low) perk.

Edit: oops sorry I got jumpy on this one... :o

the g6 is a fun plane but i would choose a g2 over it to fight la5s

remember we have an la-5fn and we have an early g6 while i have no opinion on whether they should be perked I certainly dont think an la5 should be cheaper then a the g6 we currently have..............

S!

The reason the G6 is a perk is simply history:

The G6 was introduced in late `42.  It didn`t begin to equip Staffels on the East Front until Spring `43.  So I could have disallowed it completely, but I`m allowing it but making it relatively rare.

In any case, most guys tell me the G2 is a better plane... ;)

I am actually beginning to have second thoughts on perking the La5FN.

Historically the La-5FN wasn`t introduced till summer/fall `43.  Before that the La-5 and La-5F were in service, beginning in late `42 at the time of Stalingrad.   Both were not as good performers as La-5FN.  So I am perking the La-5FN.  But now I`m wondering whether the balance is going to be in the Axis favour since the F4 and G2 will kick Hurri II and Yak 9T butt.

Your comments welcome...    You have until 12 midnight EST today... ;)

S!

Rgr on the F8.  But in performance terms, the F8 isn`t a quantum jump over the early F models.

I can drop it if you prefer and just have the A5.

The La5 certainly does need to be perked...or else that's all there will be. And at a cost of only 1 point, thats probably all there will be anyways....what we really need is a plain old La5 or a LaGG3...

Perk the G6, I don't care...would rather fly a G2 anyways.

The problem comparing the 2 is that the G6 we have is not from the same time period as the La5 we have.

Oh, and the Yak9T competes very well with the 109F and G2....
