Xwatt

Ahoy,
 
I thought now would be a suitable time for a community update, as the title suggests I have a major announcement to make, and the last community update was in March, so I think the time is right to give the community an update about the current situation at AW.
 
Xwatt Leaves Core Staff
As the title of this community update suggests, I will be stepping down from CS. The main reason for this is that my own personal schedule has been getting increasingly busy and with that, I feel that I cannot the devote the time to AW that it deserves, therefore the sensible decision would be to step down. @Ryko always puts it best, real life comes first and must be given priority. I'd like to thank @Mark T for giving me the opportunity to become a Core Staff member, and I would like to thank the current CS team, and the staff team for the support they have given me over the years. But most importantly, I would like to thank you, the community, for backing me and supporting the decisions I have made in the past few years in an effort to positively move this community forward.
 
On a brighter note, I would like to congratulate @MidnightRunner and @Norris, our new members to the Core Staff team. I have no doubt that these two will be able to make a positive impact to AW for years to come, and they have my full backing for any decision they will make. Midnight will be taking over the role of AWE manager, and Norris will be taking over the role of Public manager. I would like you all the congratulate these two, and I want you to support them wholly as you have supported myself.
 
I&A4
The development of I&A4 is now back into full swing, and masses of progress has been made in priming it for public release. Just under a week ago, we completed a full 100% run of the mission, highlighting the progress in stability and allowing for persistent mission progress over the span of a few days. Please continue to leave your feedback in the dedicated I&A4 feedback thread, it is immense help in aiding Ryko to develop the mission. Feedback can be anything from bugs and missing items, to your feedback in how you think mission should be played. All feedback is welcome, and ultimately will shape the end product for the mission.
 
 
AWE and Gamenights:
AWE has had a ton of progress since the last community update in March, and we will continue to support the growth and development of the server for the foreseeable future. Currently, the server is rotating maps and factions after every one run of Liberation, and this method is aiding in keeping player retention, compared to the two runs that we did in the past. Support has been mostly positive for the switch back to CUP and ACRE, and we will continue to listen to community feedback about how we can better improve the server. Be sure to attend our Liberation Sunday events, in which you can find information for that in the events section of the forum.
 
As for Midnights campaigns, we are currently in a transition period between moving towards a new campaign in both the Tuesday, and Friday operations. For the Tuesday campaign, this will be moving towards a zombie orientated mission, and the Friday campaign will be moving back to the PMC series, and more information about that can be found here:
 
 
Alongside Midnights missions, we have two gamenights from @BenjaminHL planned, keep an eye out on the events section of the forum for the dates of those missions.
 
Final Note:
As always I want to thank the community for helping us to move forward in a positive direction. I want to thank the donators for their continued support in keeping AW financially stable, even during a pandemic where peoples income may be reduced. Being a community powered by your donations is a portrayal of the support you have for our community, and we will continue to make the suggestions and needs of our community the focal point before any major decisions are made.
 
On a more personal note, I would like to thank all of you for the support you have given me as Core Staff for the past few years. I have absolutely loved it, and it is with regret that I have to step down, but I am in no doubt that this community will continue to live on and prosper, as it has done since it has been founded. I would like to give my personal congratulations to @MidnightRunner and @Norris, both of you have my full backing, and I am excited to see the progression of AW a few years down the line from now.
 
Thank you all,
Xwatt & The CoreStaff Team.

I have no idea if this is would be difficult to implement, but it would be nice if players could set a preference that when they log out of I&A4 their murder coins are distributed equally to the side.  I tend to forget, and have to log back in to give them away in the instances when I actually remember to log back in.
 
I'd say if it's easy, do it, if it's difficult, ignore this request.

TEAMSPEAK MISSION BRIEFING FOR ALL PLAYERS WILL BEGIN AT 18:00 UTC
Expected Mission Length: 120+ minutes (may go over or under expected mission length)
 
Player Slots: 36 (2 Squads of 12, an 8 man weapons team and 4 man command element)
 
 
Situation
With Allied forces now moving quickly through France, we have swapped aircraft for trucks and have been charged with aiding in the advance towards the Rhine. Along the way we must deal with any German resistance.
 
 
Assets:
A small supply of ground vehicles delivered by the gliders.
 
Friendly Forces:
US army 
 
Enemy Forces:
German Wehrmacht
 
Civilians:
Sparse civilian presence to be expected.
 
Mission
We have come to an area which is believed to be a German defensive point, aimed at slowing our advance. From what we know there is a sizeable garrison in the area as well as a vehicle repair facility.  
 
 
Execution
Objectives:
1. Punch through the German defensive lines and capture the area
2. Secure the MSR for the following allied units
3. Locate and disable the vehicle repair depot in the area.
 
Movement Plan:
At Commanders discretion
 
Rules of Engagement:
Enemies may be engaged on sight based on current squad orders
Civilians are present in the area so collateral damage is to be kept to a minimum.
 
 
Admin & Logistics
 
Equipment & Resupply:
At the commander’s control, assets are available at base to facilitate this.
 
Reinforcements:
Unlimited
At commanders discretion, transport assets are available.
 
 
Command & Control
 
Command:
Overall command lays with codename "Overlord" who will set objectives and ROE.
Operational control on the ground lies with the Platoon Commander.
 
Communication:
Radios are only available to a select few. Lead elements have limited scope to move these around to maintain the command structure and organisation.

Zombies would be cool sometime. But all the other sci-fi stuff doesn't interest me, I would have a hard time understanding the lore.

I tried a few of the HALO ops, but just didn't enjoy it that much.

Honestly I think adding these rifles to most roles takes away from what makes the marksman role important/different.
To be fair to bohemia I think they structured it to have distinctive roles in the game.
Graying the lines between these roles dilutes what makes them important and takes us one step towards the one man army loadout that we want to avoid

I’ll be setting it up before it goes live so if the selection is silly I’ll do some magic.

Nooooooo silly stuff is also good. It gives some variety xD

I’ll be setting it up before it goes live so if the selection is silly I’ll do some magic.

Welcome, in this guide I will explain my thoughts and advice on what are the fundamentals of being a Squad Leader in SQUAD.
 
Firstly, SQUAD is a team game. Teamwork and communication is key, and a team that does not adhere to these two basic principles, is not a good one. All teams need one thing to uphold this and maintain the balance; this is where the Squad Leader comes in.
 
I will split this guide up into seperate chunks for easy reference and reading. These will be:

I don't get to play Midnight's ops very often because of the time difference where I live but I think it's kind of crazy how much effort he puts into providing Ahoy peeps fun ops to play and I have no idea how he finds the time to do it.  Cheers Midnight, you're a big asset for Ahoy. 

Alpha already did D-Day this year: https://forums.ahoyworld.net/topic/14780-war-for-altis-act-2-mission-8-modded-zeus-ops-190420-1630-utc/?do=findComment&comment=131344
 

As the title suggests, we have been working on a WW2 campaign which will begin on the 11th of September.

This campaign will involve two story lines from two different Zeus's.
@SiegeSix and myself will be alternating Fridays and story lines.

The first story line, my missions, will follow an airbourne division from their D-Day drop into France.
The second story line, Siege's missions, starting on the 18th, will follow an Infantry division from landing at the beaches of Normandy.

The plan is to run these campaigns for approx 8-10 weeks. 
 
Modset:
Arma 3 Preset IFA Ahoy.html
 
Points to note:
We will be alternating week to week between airbourne and infantry units Based on the recent pole carried out the modset uses Acre instead of TFAR, however for the standard rifleman this will have no impact as you will not have a radio anyway Modset is a little larger than normal but the mods required to make this work add a lot of assets and more than a few maps, we have tried to limit it as much as we can  
 
As usual if you have any questions or comment please let me know.

Ahoy all,
 
With the return of AWE, the Staff team have been formulating ideas about how to better make use of the roles we have available. With this, we looked into how to better make use of the current Field Ambassador program, and how to reintroduce the AWE Veteran scheme, to identify and recognise players we see as ideal role models for the atmosphere we are trying to establish across our modded server. As always, I stress that these roles are not being reintroduced to create a sense of hierarchy, but to instead recognise players that go the extra mile to help newer players, enforce the ruleset and provide an enjoyable experience to their peers. As Field Ambassadors are a greater bar of entry then Veterans, they will have added benefits that the veteran programme does not provide. The benefits of being in both programmes are as followed:
 
Field Ambassadors
A Field Ambassador, is a player who is recognised by Staff, as being an role model who contributes frequently to the community.
 
-  Selected By Staff
- Exclusive Teamspeak Tags
- Exclusive XML
- Access to a discord channel with Field Ambassadors and Veterans (where both will get access to mission testing and feedback discussion with Staff)
- Access to the "mission makers" discord chat, used directly between Staff and Devs in communicating the current and future development of AW
- Acces to AW Gitlab, to report issues and give feedback on opinions on "to be delayed" features that will/won't get added to our missions
 
AWE Veteran
An AWE Veteran, is an exemplary and experienced player who is recognised by Staff.
 
-  Selected By Staff
- Exclusive Teamspeak Tags
- Exclusive XML
- Access to a discord channel with Field Ambassadors and Veterans (where both will get access to mission testing and feedback discussion with Staff)
 
We hope that by overhauling these schemes that it would both reward players that Staff believe to be making a positive impact on our servers, but also giving us a direct line in incorporating non-staff roles into the future development decisions we make at AW.

Honestly, I wouldn't start your message by saying *Your callsign - to ....*

In the heat of battle, if someone just hears command first on the radio, they might assume its someone calling for command. First call the elements that you are trying to call, then say who you are. That way it will immediately get their attention. I feel that's a better way to do it generally.
 
So rather than "Command to all elements" just say "All elements, this is command" or start off with a respective unit name.
 
Shit happens on comms and its something we're all constantly learning and getting better with, at least the op was for the most part a success.

Mission Summary
Every Wednesday This Sunday, we turn a regular bout of Liberation around to show off what we can do when we put our minds to it.
Expect a solid experience with high emphasis on teamwork and structure, with an established Chain of Command formed before the mission. Staff will support it all.
These are the days when we push for harder objectives or complex operations in combined arms, or try things we normally would not.

What is Liberation Wednesday?
Liberation Wednesday will be an event ran weekly, in a gamenight format, with a formal, established chain of command and greater player numbers. For the fossils in our community, you may remember Stilleto Wednesdays, and here we are replicating that experience, but instead in the liberation format and following our gamenight etiquette. AWE will still remain open 24/7, but you can expect a more serious, teamwork focused, command orientated experience every Wednesday. We will be kicking off the first week of Liberation Wednesday with the introduction of Lythium.

The following is a framework that are we releasing to aid future gamenight creators for Ahoyworld. These incorporate tools and features that are a standard across our missions, that you can incorporate into your own gamenight to align it with our standards. Credits to @Stanhope
 
The Features Of The Framework Include:
- TFAR Comptability (included but not required - sets default radio channels)
- Includes Admin Tools and Gamenight tools functionality
- Reapplies loadouts units had in the editor upon every spawn
- Contains 2 headless client slots
- Contains logging for friendly fire incidents, grenade throws and launchers being fired
- Readme compatibility, allowing staff/spartans to have zeus access  
 
How To Use:
Replace the ".VR" at the end to the map of your choice. The framework can be used on any map. 
(e.g change ".VR" to ".altis" and it will be compatible to use on Altis.

Ahoy all,
 
With the return of AWE, the Staff team have been formulating ideas about how to better make use of the roles we have available. With this, we looked into how to better make use of the current Field Ambassador program, and how to reintroduce the AWE Veteran scheme, to identify and recognise players we see as ideal role models for the atmosphere we are trying to establish across our modded server. As always, I stress that these roles are not being reintroduced to create a sense of hierarchy, but to instead recognise players that go the extra mile to help newer players, enforce the ruleset and provide an enjoyable experience to their peers. As Field Ambassadors are a greater bar of entry then Veterans, they will have added benefits that the veteran programme does not provide. The benefits of being in both programmes are as followed:
 
Field Ambassadors
A Field Ambassador, is a player who is recognised by Staff, as being an role model who contributes frequently to the community.
 
-  Selected By Staff
- Exclusive Teamspeak Tags
- Exclusive XML
- Access to a discord channel with Field Ambassadors and Veterans (where both will get access to mission testing and feedback discussion with Staff)
- Access to the "mission makers" discord chat, used directly between Staff and Devs in communicating the current and future development of AW
- Acces to AW Gitlab, to report issues and give feedback on opinions on "to be delayed" features that will/won't get added to our missions
 
AWE Veteran
An AWE Veteran, is an exemplary and experienced player who is recognised by Staff.
 
-  Selected By Staff
- Exclusive Teamspeak Tags
- Exclusive XML
- Access to a discord channel with Field Ambassadors and Veterans (where both will get access to mission testing and feedback discussion with Staff)
 
We hope that by overhauling these schemes that it would both reward players that Staff believe to be making a positive impact on our servers, but also giving us a direct line in incorporating non-staff roles into the future development decisions we make at AW.
