The German counter-offensive in the Ardennes in December 1944 diverted them from the gathering storm in the east. In spite of attempts by some of the higher command, Hitler refused to believe that the Russians were capable of launching another massive offensive. German intelligence predicted a large offensive in the middle of January 1945. The offensive was expected to be a drive by the Russians to break German will and ability to carry on the war. The attack was to take the straightest route to Berlin. This was through Warsaw and the 1st Byelorussian Front under Marshal Zukov, and the1st Ukrainian Front under Marshal Koniev were to lead the assault. Their two fronts alone comprised 2.2 million men, 33,500 guns, 7,000 tanks and assault guns, and 5,000 aircraft.
Their mission was the destruction of Army Group A under Field Marshal Harpe.and the conquest of Poland. Harpe’s Army Group comprised 400,000 men, 1136 tanks and assault guns with 270 aircraft. Their aircraft stretched from the Vistula north of Warsaw to the Carpathian Mountains. To the north of Army Group A was Army Group Center command by Field Marshal Reinhardt with 380,000 men, 700 tanks and assault guns and 515 aircraft.
The attack began on January 12. The odds were distinctly against the Germans and the initial attacks punched holes in their lines all over the front. The Russians broke through along 300 miles of front to a depth of 60 to 100 miles, shattering Army Group A. The first phase ended on January 17, 1945 with the fall of Warsaw.
The weather initially was bad with low clouds, fog and poor visibility grounding aircraft on both sides. When this changed the massive number of VVS aircraft launched horrific attacks on the retreating German armies. Faced with the effects of this and the continuing offensive the German high command had no choice but to commit virtually all of the Home Defence Jagdgeschewader which had been operating against the American 8th Air Force to the battle in the east. Several Geschwader of the Luftwaffe day fighter force were transferred to the Eastern Front. These included JG 1, JG 3, JG 4, JG 6, JG 11 and JG 77. This was to more than double the available aircraft from 800 to 1,800. These reinforcements included 1,500 Bf 109s and Fw-190s many of which were the newer models that had seen little use on the eastern front. These reinforcements are to set the stage for some of the largest air battles of the Eastern Front.
Meanwhile the Russian offensive continues and the red wave is approaching the Oder River, the eastern border of Germany. The Germans are desperate to stabilize the front and stop the onrushing armies which have advanced hundreds of miles in two weeks. The only thing which stands between the Red Storm and the homes of German forces was Krupp Steel.
The Russian offensive rolls on westward approaching the Oder River. The Germans are on the defensive and attempting to reconstruct their lines. This is a offensive/defensive battle involving ground attack supported by tactical aviation which is striking deep behind German lines at infrastructure and bases. The Germans are known for their brutal counterattacks and there will be opportunities for the German defender to counterattack on the ground at points of the Russian offensive as the battle ebbs and flows. Two or more ground battles will occur at any one time. These both may be defensive for one side or a combination of defense and offense.
Tactical air attacks will occur on airfields, ground battles, factories and cities along the front.
There are deadly tank battles to be fought. There are ground bases to fight over. It will be a gritty, desperate fight in the cold, the mud, and the cloud-streaked skies -- time to do or die. Germany will have the Bf 109K-4, FW 190D-9, Bf 109G-14, Bf 109G-6, FW 190A-8, FW 190F-8, Bf 110G-2, Ju 88A-4, Tiger I, Panzer IV H, Ostwind, Wirblewind, and SdKfz 251. The Soviet Union will have the La-7, Yak-9U, La-5FN, P-39Q, A-20G, Il-2, B-25C, T-34/76, T-34/85, Sherman, Ostwind, Wirblewind, and M3.

In,
As JU88 Pilot and going to bring it to the Russian Front. :salute
Lock n load.
-
There are still lots of positions open, don't hesitate to join this great event even if you are new to special events :salute
Especially tankers are needed and the rules have special air-to-ground restrictions, which will guarantee good tank vs. tank action.

if you could only make this icon range decrease down to 1k then this would be more real than already is :)

<---setting convergence on a 190F8 as we speak :D

any excuse to practice with the "dweeb" plane LA7 :D
I've always had a terrible time with those crappy guns, i'm going to have to spend extra time in it.

Joke? What joke? Oh, you withdrawing from a fight before it begins? :rofl Oh the irony!
(I couldn't resist after seeing your location Straffo. :P )
Seriously though, care to elaborate so we may move forward and improve rules if necessary?

If there are any 109g-6 pilots looking to fly in the scenario send me a pm.
-
Straffo....after knowing you these many years in aces high the comment you made is not like what you'd normally say.
Is there something in the rules that bothers you?
If so point them out! We may be able then to know what your statement is pointed at and make corrections if need be.
And gentlemen please do not make this a flame war.....let's hear what bothers Straffo and discuss this intelligently.
-
I didn't read all of the rules but the thing that immediately jumped out at me is that you guys are going to require the Russian players to be offensive with even force numbers. That pretty much means the Germans win, period.
-
I didn't read all of the rules
Well I suggest you do, or at least read the writeup at the top of the thread. At the time of this fight, the Luftwaffe had commited almost everything available in Germany to the eastern front. Numbers were more even than you might think and with ANY real fight there are times where the numbers are even, or lopsided for one side or another. If it bothers you that much, please consider this a section of the front where the numbers are therefore even due to the importance of the Germans stopping the oncoming Russians.
People tend to not want an event where it's 300 to 50, hence the problem with recreating Bodenplatte.
I hope you sign up and enjoy it.
Cheers
-
I can't find it in the rules...just took a quick scan though.
Where will we find our group assignments?
-
i mean the enemy icon naturally
So did I.
Your real-world eyeballs can see SO MUCH MORE than the tiny pixellated BLOBS in-game will ever represent. Hitech mentioned once that max zoom was about the level of detail the human eye normally sees (but try flying around on max zoom all the time!).
icons are a much-needed part of this game. Turning them off does not (in any way) simulate "realism" -- it just simulates you (the player) being blind and unable to see something 10 yards away that normal pilots can see at 40 yards.
-
nevermind just saw I have access to the forum
-
84 fighter on the russian side
116 on the german side
Nothing even at start add to this the little details and the outcome of the event will be : German side victory
Russian side should be on offensive without having the mean to do it.
That's stupid.

I hope you find a future scenario more to your liking.
Everyone else please check the write up for the numbers and types of aircraft and the targets which are present each frame.

Need more 109G14 Pilots....
If interested please send me a PM. In need of an experienced FL as well!

I did read the writeup at the start of the thread before I read any other post. It listed historical numbers of 5000 Russian aircraft and 1800 German aircraft, yet in the scenario you turned that into German numeric equality or even superiority.
Why sign up for something that has a scripted outcome? Where is the fun in that?

Karnak,
I am not going to debate you here on this. Terrain, plane sets and playability all come into any scenario design. You have an opinion. right or wrong, and you are welcome to it.
I can guarantee you that not signing up will result in a 100% chance of not having fun.
Have a great day.

Edited:
Germany will Triumph not because of some skewed rules in the scenario, but rather due to the Will of the people who fly on the German side.

Bruv, you are going down. No mercy will be shown to Bolsheviks! You will be made an example of soon enough. All the European AH players can not help you. For you comrade, death will be slow. We will defeat you, then we will end you. Our grandchildren will tell stories of our glory and the end of Bolshevism! Victory over your RED army will come at last!
-
Where's the Yak3?
Ask Hitech! :aok :devil
-
9GIAP or 813 IAP sounds like fun
-
WTG Bruv, you started Kermit off again!
-
Each side has 7 fighter squadrons of 12 planes each.
Each side has 3 attack squadrons (2 IL2s, 1 A20G for allies, 2 190f8, 1 110G for axis) and allies have 2 squads of b25s to the axis 1 squad of ju88s, but the ju88s carry 2x the ord, so the payloads even out overall.
It's quite balanced. I fail to see this "scripted victory" and most other folks that have looked at it seem to think it's quite interesting.
I just wanted to provide a "different" (*cough*fair?*cough*) opinion for any others reading this thread. Definitely check out the rules and make up your own mind!
As for GV vs GV, it's not the end-all, be-all of scoring. There are limited GV players and they have limited objectives. Heck, Stalin's Fourth had 20x harder GV objectives than this! And it turned out okay!
-
WTG Bruv, you started Kermit off again!
Kazaa, if you flew against the Luftwaffe, you wouldn't last 1 frame. This scenario takes more than individual skill to succeed, a lesson your squadmates will be taught. It takes more than a "few" to achieve victory.
:P
:salute

Registered.
Luftwaffe is in thy blood so thy fuhrer is who thy shall fly for.

Darn good question. I would love the PE-2 as well. They have been working on quite a lot creating a solid base. I hope we will see a bunch of new planes one of these days. I know we are running out of skins to do!
-
Curious, i know its a total noob question, but why no I16s??
-
I think it's in the later days of the war.

January 1945. Even the Russians had retired it by then.. at least on the front line.

F8 or 110 without bombs == fighter
IL2 or A20G without bombs == bomber
IL2 vs F8 who will survive ? ,same question for 110 vs A20
According to the oob there is one single B25 squad with 8 pilots vs 1 squad of ju88 with 12 pilots ?
-

That's the spirit :aok
Sorry to see you go straffo, I would have much liked to have you in our team. Please reconsider your decision. As for the bomber numbers, we have 16 x B-25s and 8x A-20s while the Krauts have 8x Ju88s.
I know the overall force ratios are about 1:1 and it makes the attackers job a bit hard, but what it means is that ultimately it is the piloting skill which will decide who is victorious. 1:1 force ratio also means that there will be plenty of german iron to shoot at! What fun would it be if we would have 500 players against their 150 or so? Only few people would ever see the enemy and the rest none.
I play this game to fight against human opponents, not to fly alone in the skies or bombing some undefended ground targets. Plenty of other sims around to do that.
Everyone, we have plenty of player spots still available in the Soviet side, please don't hesitate to register! All rides are still available - that means T-34s, Sherman VCs, La-7s, La-5s, Yak9s, P-39s, IL-2s, A-20s, B-25c and so on.
:aok
edit: lol, i counted the b-25s wrong :)
-
There are 16 B-25s and 8 Ju88s.
Also both sides have almost equal offensive air objectives each phase. The ground war has a perponderance of Russian offensive objectives.
-
@Have
I'll fly anyway just because I'll possibly fly with my squad (9 Giap).
Still I don't understand how the soviet side can be on offensive with less fighter and fighter of less quality (read 39q) and useless strat bomber (read b25).

Hmmm, with all the concern about a German rout, would you like a JU88 Slot as a pilot. I CAN arrange it. :) We are limited in numbers but quality still counts for something, IMHO.
Should I get you fitted for your uniform, Herr straffo?
-
worried about equality in fighters?
Hm...lemme see....weather will be a deciding factor....there will be low clouds.
Even in a K4, G14, and FW.....I'd really be concerned about the La7, La5 and the Yak.
the russian planes are far superior then the LW planes at low alts.
<hint> <hint> weather.....clouds.....low deck.
If I wanted to fly a LW fighter I surely wouldn't have chosen the 190F8 which is the slowest 190
and most vulnerable.
I just wish to have fun! :O
-
Hajo if the german HQ is able top screw up with 32 more fighter than the Russian side ,Brooke will have to make a very very special badge for them :p
I just wish to have fun! :O
Me too but after seeing the setup I'm very unsure

A20G without bombs == bomber
Tell snaphook or widewing this :O

Hope this first scenario is a really good experience for you. We need more regulars! Welcome to the Axis Team. :salute
-
Calling A20Gs a bomber is a joke. They're used as fighters 99% of the time (INCLUDING in FSOs, where they dogfight with, and usually WIN against, axis fighters). Calling 110Gs fighters is also a joke, as with such heavy guns they are 99% used for ground attack, and avoiding the first initial HO are dead meat to any other fighter in the game.
On top of that, 190F8s make good ground attack (and they won't be tasked with escort duties, they won't be assigned 35k alt CAPs, they will be given targets that NEED to be hit). Also, say what you will about IL2s, but they soak up ungodly amounts of ammo, and with the 23mm ammo option (their only choice, per the rules) they can out turn and shoot down their attacks as much as the attackers can shoot them down. This I have also seen in countless FSOs. Hell I've done it myself! In Stalin's Fourth us IL2s were damned good at covering ourselves. I, as a mediocre IL2 pilot, was able to down several "superior" fighters as were many of my squadmates in the same frame.
You may be wearing blinders as to what planes can (or should) be called fighters, vs those called bombers. It's about as fair and even as you can get! Not historically accurate, no, but no scenario really is. The issue isn't "do we have 50,000 AH players to simulate the real war", it's "will folks feel like they're in the historic event?"
I like it when things stick to historical accuracy as well, but in this particular case, I think the gameplay issues taking precedent is perfectly fine. Same as when the FSO runs late war 8th AF sweeps with more fighters than bombers, instead of 10x as many bombers and 1/4th as many escorts. You have to tweak things because it is a game.
-
ya can nitpick as long you like it won't change the initial design of the 190 and 110, I'll use bold so you can get it clearly : fighter
I notice you dodged with ease the number delta.
-
Initial design of an aircraft has no precedence on its use or abilities in a pixel world.
-
Certainly and we all know how the IL2 and B25 out perform the 190F8 and 110G2.
-
In respective areas, yes.
-
It depends on the style of fight. In a mixed-plane, low-alt, scrappy fight, I very much like the A-20 and Il-2. Both are very, very sturdy, turn decently (maybe better than the FW 190), and have strong firepower that enables kills with a snapshot. In that style of fight, I probably would feel more comfortable in an A-20 or Il-2 than a FW 190. For example, when I take off from an airfield that is getting swarmed by enemy fighters, I choose the A-20 and Il-2 over any other planes. That's just my opinion, though. I'm not saying everyone has to feel that way.
Anyway, if you think the German plane set is better -- no problem -- just join the German side. Nothing wrong with that. There are two sides and planes for every preference.

Check your spam/junk folder in your email or try another email. Sometimes AHevents.org gets listed as "junk" or completely rejected by some email hosting companies. It's been a long time since I've registered, but I think it needs to send you an activation email. "forhim" is the guy on this forum to contact when having issues with ahevents.org website. Get it done oso. :salute
Good luck.

i am interested but not sure i could make all the frames, i am usually on a every other weekend availability for saturday afternoons ...
i love the events, i don't want to take a ride from someone who can be there every frame, otoh i do want to fly ...
is there a way you guys handle these situations?
thanks,
T
-
Thorsim, you can fly as a walkon - where you will (generally) be assigned a ride, then every time you make it back for scenario frame, you get to fly with the same people.
Hope this helps,
Wurzel
-
can i request a walk on for a type, i am new to the game and far more proficient at some aircraft than i am at say a tank or other GV.
is it possible to request a walk on slot for a specific plane or side? or is it pot luck ??
do we announce our intentions in advance or just show up ??
-
Pretty much pot luck to be honest - tho you can make your preference known. Mostly depends on how many show up etc, as to what spaces are available.
You can make your intentions know beforehand also, but that doesn't guarantee you a specific ride. Most walkon's just show up and get assigned a side (you can make your preference for sides known as well) and are then assigned a plane/tank/whatever.
Wurzel
-
just go through the registration process and state the availability problem or is there a walk on waiting list or something ???
for giving advance notice of my preferred assignment?
-
If you register, you have more chance of getting what you want to fly, there is a box at the bottom of the registration form on ahevents.org where you can put your timing issue. If you want to fly as a walkon, just turn up and request which side you want to fly on.
(sorry if I'm not being very clear, at work and a tiny bit brain fried)
Wurzel
-
no problem wurzel thanks for the help ...
i just can't nail down my saturdays that far in advance.
i will just try walking on with a preference, thanks

Thorsim -
Generally, if you're sure you'll make 3 out of 4 frames, do register in advance. Some CO's are even happy with 2 our of 4, just let your Group Leader know well in advance. Further, if you can find a personal replacement, say a squaddie, who is willing to fly that frame(s) you'll be absent, that's even better. Numbers fluctuate a good bit each frame anyway, so it's much better (and more fun) to register and join in the pre-Scenario discussions and strategizing, which you don't get to do as a walkon.

Further, if you can find a personal replacement, say a squaddie, who is willing to fly that frame(s) you'll be absent, that's even better. Numbers fluctuate a good bit each frame anyway, so it's much better (and more fun) to register and join in the pre-Scenario discussions and strategizing, which you don't get to do as a walkon.
This is true. Also it is better if we can register -too many- then the numbers will get bumped, maybe Some Tom guy can Fly Frame 1 and 3 and some Harry guy can fly 2 and 4. That fills a slot for the whole time and 2 folks get to be a part of the event.
It's important to get the word out in the arenas as there are many specialized folks who may not even be aware of these happenings. We want folks to enjoy this time.
Scenarios are a great part of this community and helps us all get to know folks we may shoot down at other times. Sometimes the person give you a whole other side of how they are and it's very cool.
-
Registering in advance will give you the best chance to get a preferred ride.
No guarantees tho....
-
Registering for the event also allows you to gain additional information on your dedicated role. You'll get the chance to learn about specific tactics at group and individual levels. You also get access to historical information provided by other players, such as stories of people, battle plans, lingo, political and cultural events of the actual battle that the scenario represents. You'll meet new people from around the world. Some groups spend more time in practice than they do in the actual scenario, which can be very rewarding, and this is all coordinated on the private forum available to registered players. Your depth of immersion is endless and ultimately up to you to decide.

Beware the dark side! The dark side is easier and more seductive, but not more powerful. Do not be tempted by this evil trickery or by these seemingly innocent gifts from Darth Kermit and his evil apprentice Darth Fudgums. They are only there to lure you to take the first step in a great downward spiral of evil and selfishness, which will only end up in great pain and your own demise.
If you ask how can you know the good side from the bad? The answer is that you will know, when you are at peace and calm. May the force be with you during these troubled times :aok
:)

I heard that Kermit was sending Piggy out to seduce new recruits!
Sounds like they are getting desperate to me.
:D

The VVS will definitely be applying some finish to LW aircraft. We have special polishing compounds, from 20 mm fine grain to 37 mm coarse.
-
wow that is an advantage of Sovet aircraft i had never considered ...
they look just as bad all shot up as they do new ...
;)
-
They won't be able to use them because they shoot forward

With such lop sided registration numbers do you think this has anything to do with the cold war?
Sure as hell can't be the planes.

It Reads "Glory to the heroes of the patriotic war! Glory to Stalin's Falcons!"

"Fight like this: put every shell into the German tanks!"

And my favorite "Head-on deliberate midair collision is a weapon of heroes! Glory to Stalin's Falcons threat to the fascists predators!"

I'm curious, why can't it be the planes?
The way I would analyze it:
VVS
Type # K/D n*K/D
La7 24 1.04 24.96
La5 12 0.88 10.56
P39 24 0.63 15.12
Yak9 24 1.00 24
sum 74.6
LW
190* 48 1.17 56.16
109* 60 1.07 64.2
110 8 0.55 4.4
sum 124.8
LW advantage 1.67 i.e. 5 to 3 advantage
*since breakout of types isn't given, K/D is average of the types in use

If you are scared now, I can only imagine how frighten you willl be once the fighting begins! The team work shown by our German leaders towards us men is incredible. I really don't think you and your soviet leaders have a chance. You and your side show little creativeness, no team work and quite frankly, offer nothing!
We Germans offer training, teamwork, leadership, history, and most of all camaraderie. The amount of free cookies is just a plus. Our rewards will be your women and your land. :) Our leaders are already working together to ensure victory, and many pilots have already begun their part to ensure our leaders victory. For you my Soviet misguided comrade, the scenario is only 5 frames long, but for us Germans, we live, eat, breathe and sleep Deutschland from now and to the very end. At the great celebration after the event, our bellies will be filled with fierce battle stories, and our cups will overflow with victory. We shall drink to our health with your blood.
Cheers Bruv
:lol

:rofl kermit!
and 715 since when did Late War K/D ratios indicate anything?
I've had a good look at the quality of the LA7 under 10k it can out run, out turn and decimate Luft iron.
Their only strength is in numbers and no doubt we will have ourselves a big furball of fighter groups. If Kermit's fighters wish to fight like men then i'm confident in a VVS victory. I look forward to hearing your battle stories. Watching paint dry will be more enjoyable.
"I dived from a great height to make a pass at a lavochkin, he started to turn in and I rolled out in fear of blacking out and zoomed back towards the stars. It got really fierce for a second" :lol

Flying Back to berlin won't help any when the Red Army has control of all their bases.

I am encouraged by the Allied numbers rising. Maybe we can eventually get to the original numbers!!
The AXIS numbers were dropped and frozen. It will be a hoot!!!
As of now:
Allies: 100 players registered out of 134 available positions.
Axis: 127 players registered out of 127 available positions.

Comrade Broovski was out on patrol in his state of the art Lavochkin fighter, when he came across what looked like two persons making out in a red barn. As he flew closer to get a better view (as most curious types would) he saw that it was none other than Herr Kermit and his secret mistress Betty Boop. :O
Strafing them down like the no good fascists they are would have been rather merciless. He wanted to see the whites of their eyes and to make sure they were stone dead, he bailed out nearby.
Hearing the roar of a Russian engine Herr Kermit quickly pulled up his trousers and ran headlong towards the parachute with luger in hand. Comrade Broovski was far too quick for him on the draw and put many rounds into his chest. He fell like a sack of potatoes and murmured "heil hitler!" with his dying breath. Betty was now alone and afraid. To make sure there wasn't any illegitimate offspring Comrade Broovski had to finish the job. Using the cover of the forest he edged closer to his target and finished her off with his remaining rounds.
Let the Iron curtain Begin........
