Next monday will do another tank battle. Throw out your criticisms about the last one and ideas for upcoming ones. Keep it civil. If you arent intrested in it, no need to post or incite anyone.
Keep in mind what limitations we have at this point as far as vehicles available,and maps we have to use. We can not change spawn points and such. We will start at a ceratin time and end when ever people want. Right now we wont be shutting the arena off to aircraft. That doesnt help our shaky numbers to not let others enjoy the AvA.
Lets hear it.:aok

I will gleefully join that fight. I love to jabo tanks and flaks.

The whole basis behind this idea was to have an area where tanks only could fight.The AvA is a perfect place to start seeing as how no one is hardly ever in there.I speak for the majority of GV'ers that attended in saying that we don't want any planes at all.We just want a Tank Battle.There are 6 other nights that the AvA sits empty and those wishing to be in a plane could be on those other 6 days.
Now i could see a problem with turning off the planes if there was a usual gathering in there for plane fights but there isn't.
& most of the folks who came in for HMM , i saw back in the AvA on another nite fighting in planes, so the idea is working.
I say we have no planes from 8 PM till 8 AM the next day.

Thats what folks who can't fight worth a crap in a tank usually say.
Nice to see you paid attention to what slash typed.

Planes will not be allowed in the small space we will be using. We used RV8s as spotters but I didnt get much positive feedback on that.

yea the Rv8's kinda ruined it, not in the spotter sense but more in the Historical sense.
-
I missed the last one to to a horrendous work schedule of late. I hope it keeps up so I can get in on a couple! :aok
-
historicaly it was stuckas spotting so be glad its only Rv8s
-
Slash i got it up in the genral forums
-
ya well it should be stukas again. another question is it panzer v panzer?
-
T-34's vs Panzers for the first "frame" Then its open to suggestion. Last time it was just a FFA after the first battle.
-
do you think anyone will play russian team? the russians will need the IL-2 aside from the fact that it was an integral part of their anti armor strategy.
if this will be played to AvA standards then the rus get neither the panzers or the flaks.
you should allow dive bombers for both teams. the IL-2 vs the stuka will offset each other very nicely.
-
no planes at all :furious

Its a tank fight. Its not Axis vs Allies. Yes people will fight in T-34s. Its not meant to reenact anything. Its so people can fight in GVs without treetop dweebs in bombers racking up easy mode kills. Its for fun.
If people have a good time they may come to like the AvA and visit more often for the air battles. An example is some of the LTARs showing up quite a few times after the first time we did this.

This sounds like a good idea to me, but maybe outside of "heavy metal Monday." We've run Filth missions and other various mini-scenarios in the past. This one sounds fun.
Although there would have to be a couple ground rules, like only one aircraft life per player, or only a certain percentage of planes allowed per side, or something.
As a sub for the tank-busting version of the Stuka, might want to allow the Hurrie IID. Would have a better chance against the IL2 in air-to-air fight than the Stuka. 2 of the 7 - odd mm mgs on the Stuka vs. the armor of the IL2 may be a bit too challenging . . . then again allowing Ostis on the German side may offset . . . not sure.

Good idea.
-
the IL-2 must fear the stuka. be afraid little red ones, be very afraid.
-
I would rather have a T-34 than a Panzer, and no planes, this idea is based around an ALL GV battle, if they want to bomb tanks then they can head to the MA.
The majority of people i get to show up to this event is based soley on the fact that there's no planes.

Personally, I think the idea of the unarmed RV8's for spotter planes (you know they each side had those) is a good idea. At one time I did a lot of GV'n and got half way proficient at them, but since I'm not now, I'd gladly fly a spotter plane for the guys on the ground if they wanted them. I think our VOX is a very close approximation of the way they would have had to spot "no, its behind the other hill" at the time.
If the GV guys think they would rather not have spotters I'm OK with that too, its their deal, give them what they want I say.

which joy stick and which wire?

Microsoft sidewinder, the brown wire.

can you splice/resolder?

I did and the Z rotation is bunk now.Makes flyin my favorite plane useless and i can't keep my main gunsight still.It's a struggle i know , thats why i GV only now.
-
in some electronic components the impedence range is critical to proper operation. try replacing the wire with one of exactly the same length and guage. try to solder the connection really cleanly and no big old blobs. clean the contacts with a mild acid first.

HMM hapening tonight?
-
Teh TT's are all dressed up but have no place to play. it seems the staff must be otherwise engaged.
-
just a sudgestion if we back the airforce off far enough that it takes a fair amount of time for them to fly to target and return to re-arm it reduces the aircraft influence on the battle.
