AW saddest anime betrayal.

Xwatt

AW worst at their first language

Hi,
 
I recently (4 years ago) found this community and I thought of making an introduction, but found myself long overdue.
 
So hi. See you on AWE, primarily.
 
Love,
SiegeSix

Pretty sure that means that he lost his immunity and can be charged for warcrimes commited as part of Alpha now🤔

Jokes aside, good job! Back to jokes: Even that good that they had to replace you with two people!

The CS team of the time inherited a ship in rather choppy waters, but I'm glad you took the helm when you did, @Xwatt. The grey hairs you got from it certainly befit the patience you had with us, as you steadily reminded AW of what it is: just some mates playing games together.
 
Cheers mate. Best of days and we'd better see you around.

Thank you for everything you've done for us @Xwatt , I know you've put in a lot of effort and countless hours. It has been a pleasure to play and work with you.

Xwatt leaves some big shoes to fill but who better to do it than @MidnightRunner and @Norris? Congrats guys!

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.
 

It'll be refreshing to hear from the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth and him not be a complete prat.

CHADS Deployment Announcement
 
Map: Isla Duala
Modset: Liberation modset
Location: Newly formed Western African Republic a former French colony
 
Following 5 years of civil war between Republicans, who fought for a democratic government, and the former government of Joseph Lumumba, the now deposed dictator.
Loyalist forces are continuing to wage a semi-guerrilla style campaign against the newly formed government. The loyalists hold much territory as the forces of the new government have not been able to muster the strength to take and hold these areas. 
 
The UN has recognised the new government and deployed to the area to protect civilian life and oversee the democratic elections scheduled for later in the year.
UN peacekeepers are present in the area. Their primary role being the protection of civilian life.  
Mission des Nations Unies dans la République d'Afrique de l'Ouest (MINURAO) was established by Security Council resolution to support political processes in that country and carry out a number of security-related tasks.  The Mission was asked to support the transitional authorities of the Western African Republic in the stabilization of the country and implementation of the transitional roadmap.
 
A small CHAD force has been contracted to train and command the local army until they are ready to operate independently. While the numbers of trained personnel are still low the Combat Hounds have proposed a to run a mechanised unit consisting of both CHAD operators and local soldiers. This would allow for local soldiers to gain experience while the leadership and experience of the CHADS can be leveraged. 
 
The platoon will consist of a number of APCs with dedicated crews. These amphibious vehicles will be the main source of transport and resupply for the men in the field.
 
All CHADS are required to have their vaccinations up to date prior to deployment, and have their claim for their Combat zone advisory bonus submitted before leaving their home country.
 
More details to be revealed soon.

Situation
Operation Varsity was part of Operation Plunder the allied plan to cross the Rhine. As part of Varsity, with the final airbourne assault of the war. Allied forces dropped East of the Rhine and its distributaries in order to secure vital crossing points for the ground troops.  A single intact bridge is known to span the IJssel in the Netherlands. It is vital that this bridge be captured so that allied armour can roll freely into Germany.

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.

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.

Ideally it's should not happen more than one time per pilot though. 😆
 
This is still the best solution which has been put in place to at least mitigate the amount of noise in base. Turning off the chopper engine at base or FOB is a thing for me, but alas not all pilots. IF the chopper noise gets a little too much at base you can always politely ask the pilots to power down if waiting for an extended period of time.
 
Also if you want to test weapons and recoil, penetration and what not I suggest you use the editor. You can test any weapon AND you get more accurate data, like trajectories and damage indicators that you would not get firing your gun at base.

Good Point, However the warning is in place to remind these trolls that trolling in fob by any means is against the rules. It can be annoying for pilots to take out jets that buzz over I myself have died to this happening. In my opinion it should stay as it gives people a warning and stops them from just straight spraying everywhere.

I enjoy playing with you guys. The discovery of bumper cars in the game was a huge one for me. Hope you enjoy my Hollywood-level editing skills.

Tell your mom Karen that I love her anyways. There's no such thing like herd immunity for a (modded) virus that just popped up 4 months ago. Still not sure about you being sarcastic...
