Miczils Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I love this map, finally, thanks Ryko. I hope that we will be able to choose people as co-pilots or tank crew, - therefore making the possibly best pilot & co-pilot teams and best coordinated tank crews. Also, a little better overview - terrain map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkod Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Quote First person lock: No First person lock changes the dynamic of playing in a tank drastically. The inability to quickly scan your surroundings with a single mouse movement makes it a little bit more stressful and more interesting in my opinion. Quote US ASSETS: 4x M1A1 Abrams 2x M2A2 Bradley 2x 6-man infantry fire teams 4x AH-64A Apache 1x Logistics team 1x Command team Will all of those assets be used? That's a total of 6 armour pieces and 4 apaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 this looks like a uphill battle may i sugest giving bluefor a dedicated mine laying team to dellay the russian advace and block them from doing some epic flanks. the reason i am asking for the mine team is that it looks like the combat zone is gone be rather large and adding no respawns its gone be a war of atrision and a wel placed mine feald wil hold the flanks for some time.

To be honest i expect that at least two of the Apache's are gonna be lost in the first 30 min of the game-night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D34TH Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thank you @Ryko for your work in making this operation! Is there going to be a Zeus? I hope the stated facts about the operation remain fixed or if changed everybody will get a notice in advance. I see some already act like they have reserved slots and even more would already like to reserve slots for "friends" ... if so, i think is fair to know the already reserved slots.... direct or indirect bullying for the "cool" assets is becoming a habit and i don't think it is in the spirit of Arma or AWE... and should abruptly and for good stop.

Ryko Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yes, I will be zeusing, if we have a ton of people I might ask another admin to co-zeus with me. Slots will be assigned on the day. - R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryko Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'm generally fine with 3rd person for non TvT game nights, but personally I'm strictly first person. If the majority of the server wants 1st person and there is no hue and cry against it, I'm perfectly happy to run it locked to 1st person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if there is an option, lets lock it to 1st person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryko Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 So - thanks all that attended. 42 in the channel is a new record I think! Apologies that respawns didn't work for pre-game connections, will take a look at that for the next time. Post-start respawns weren't supposed to do more than put you into spectator mode anyway.
