Hurri1
Terrain: Karelia, settings: capture 20 troops, ack at .25.
Let me know if there are any problems, since I was a bit busy while doing the setup...
-
Effusive praise be to Panzzer for figuring a way to get this setup in place today; lord knows, I was helpless enough.
A couple of questions to throw out:
Slash has suggested running this for two weeks, with the late-war plane set in the second week. Yea or nay?
In the past there has been discussion about replacing the FM2 with the F4F. Worth a try, or no?

Did finland fight along side the germans against Stalin?
I thought finland fought the germans and stalin.
-
yes. two weeks of karelia is a bare minimum. why not a few days with early war only, Boston,P40B, 109E and 110C? just saying.

Two weeks minimum, all feasible and useful planesets absolutely, and why no B-17s? How are we supposed to divebomb without one?
Just kidding on that last.
Heaven... I'm in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the dogfights that I seek,
When we're flying Finland's lowlands for two weeks.
Heaven... I'm in heaven,
And the cares that hung around me through the week,
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak,
When we're out there and dog-fighting every week.
Oh, I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak.
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As Finland for two weeks!
Oh, I love to go out fishing
Or to date amongst the sheep.
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As Stukas strafing jeeps.
Fly with me! I want my your six to shoot at.
The flames all about you
Will carry me through to...
Heaven... I'm in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
When flying over Finland for two weeks.

I agree. P40 vs 109E is not a bad matchup. It would be nice to do the RPS theme here like we have with other setups. I know we are missing alot of planes but ...........
I vote a definite YES on using the F4F instead of the FM2 as well.

The FM2 doe sseem to be a bit much plane . . .
But I like to save the 109 P-40 matchups for desert/Greece scenarios.
-
Umm.. I'll leave as it is for today. We'll see about the changes later.
FM2 might be a too-über Brewster, but then the Russian Hurris didn't have quad-Hispanoes and the La5's weren't FN's...

Yeah, if there is one plane I find too uber for that setup it has always been the Hurri IIC. The FM2 is a decent plane but not really dominant, the IIC can turn with FM2 and out guns everything but some 110s.
I always thought the IIB was a better surrogate. 8 .303s make up some for not having a single Shvak per side.

Map’s pretty cool in some respects, but it is a real frame rate killer, eye candy trumps playability I guess. I have no problem with any other map, but even with short vis it’s unplayable up in the main section for me.
This isn’t meant to be a whine. You see, there are a few bases down in the southwest where there is mostly water. Was hoping a few others with weaker systems will join me down there. I get lonely when nobody’s shootin’ at me.

I have to agree, this map is a real fps killer. I will just turn down the visual settings closer to minimum to keep up, but its the only map I have to do that for. Still, I think its worth it for this map. It is a reeeally cool map. :)
-
ya the frame rates for me were in the teens. maybe we should move the front lines back over the water for the sake of game play.

Yes. 1941-44.

That's also true. Finland fought against Germany after Oct. 1944 in the Northern Finland.
edit: if frame rates are a problem, A14 (IIRC) should have all axis planes enabled, with 2-3 allied bases (with all allied planes) nearby over the Gulf of Finland.
-
Not being able to see friendlys outside dar circle, combined with very short dar made it hard to find the fight at times. Wasn’t too bad cause the fight was usually between 13 and 14 (So was the ack wagon). Fields are so close, got auto puffied twice in a row while climbing over my own base. What’s that set on? Did WWII pilots really have to deal with hostile ack over their own airfields? The map ‘looks’ really cool, just has too much......well......too much.
-
I'll see about the radar settings at some point today.
-
just a couple of thoughts and commentaries. good set up and most of the fighting occurred at low altitudes most of the times. what is the purpose of the allied fleet? are planes enabled or is it a capturing tool? If indeed the fleet serves no purpose in the actual game it would be good if the allied fleet were set off to some far corner as it doesn't add anything to the set up and conversely just serves as a detraction. some of the timid players utilized the fleet as a waystation to run to as soon as they lost the advantage in a fight by parking it squarely at the halfway point between A14 and A12. or enable an axis fleet which could be utilized to sink the allied fleet. while the axis probably didn't have a surface fleet in these waters the Uboat fleet certainly did pose a threat and thereby a deterent to any allied surface fleet in the theater.
-
Submarines:aok
-
Not only that But the fleet is annoying especially with the 5 inch gun aces we have these days that all they do is camp in a 5 inch gun..
-
Panzzer, keep the Russian fleet away and sink the carrier, because they didn't had carriers as you know.
Maybe the fleet can stay somewhere near Kronstadt or Leningrad. Historically the Russian fleet were there almost the whole Continuation War 1941 - 1944 because of the Finnish-Geman submarine nets and large mine-fields.
-
The arena was reset today for new tour, if there are any problems please do tell.
I also added some planes to the setup (Yak-9U, La7, Dora, 109G-14, K-4) for the rest of the week...
-
panzzer add a spit fire as well

Spitfire Mk. Vb could be used for defence of Leningrad... But the later models don't really belong here on this map.

I believe he was kidding, Panzzer. There's a thread over in the general discussion forum about AvA; Kev is complaining that we discriminate against the Spit 16.
- oldman
-
Yes, I've been reading that, Oldman... But the Soviet Union had some SpitV's we could use on this map. :)
-
Yepp add the SpitV...
-
WAT another SpiT?!?!?!?!?:mad: :furious :mad: :furious :mad:
-
I'm not kidding. Please add the spitV. it was there, as an added benefit Kev367th will have another reason to play in the AvA. enable it around St. Petersburg where it actually served.
-
Okay then, Spitfire Mk. V is now available from fields A2, A3, A6 and A16.
-
Kev sound like a puffy chested spit ace
I guess wat I am to 109's kev is to the spit16.. :lol
-
Thanks Panzzer. now there you should more and less whining simultaneously :D
-
Looks like the AvA staff needs to fix our Rus/Finn setup...I think the update may have changed a couple fields around... And also there are no 109K4 or G14 or the 190's as stated on the MOTD...Will someone from the AvA staff please fix this problem before the night time rush hour flying we have each night starts??
Thankyou
-
Oh, darn. A new version as well as the new tour reboot, both in a day. Thanks, Skuzzy! ;)
I'll go see about the setup now...
edit: should be fixed now.
Oh and sorry, Skuzzy! Didn't mean to blame the new patch on you! :) Thanks anyway.

will you be leaving this setup featured for another week? I think it will be fun to experiment with a little longer.

Yes, it's slated to run through next week.

Have we modeled the ambulances yet? I need to strafe some. Mitsu has a soundpack of screams from the dying wounded that will really "flesh out" the setup.
And churches, if the Stuka's in, I need some churches to bomb . . .
