ATAG Bomber Campaign

http://i.imgur.com/DzD9z8u.png


British spies have gathered information on top secret shipments entering the port at Boulogne-sur-Mer. British intelligence suspects these shipments to be weapons and fuel supplies to support a possible invasionary force. The RAF is sending in 30 of its bravest Bristol Blenheim pilots, escorted by 25 Spitfire/Hurricanes to destroy all targets, ensuring these shipments will not be used against Britain's mainland.

German Freya radar is detecting a build up along the English coast, and fear an attack on this precious cargo. 20 Bf-109 interceptors are ready to scramble, and supply ships are being evacuated after unloading cargo at the port. German Command has ordered the Luftwaffe to defend the harbor, the city, and its airfield.

When I worked the night shift out of Perth I had a solution so I could sleep.

Tinfoil and water. Wet the glass stick the shiny side on and no more Australian sunshine killing your sleep or for you flying.

109 for me, please. I get giddy when I think about all those Blenheim's coming for a visit! :devilish:

*As I have flown in the previous Bomber Campaign event's I will give up my mount if the Blue slots fill up and someone is left out. Everyone needs to experience one of these events :thumbsup:

[farley]

Looks great!

Spitfire please.

[DRock]

British spies have identified key targets across Boulogne-sur-Mer which would cause the maximum amount of disruption and confusion to the enemy. To minimize civilian casualties, the RAF has been limited to 250lb bombs. 500lb bombs have been disabled.

Know your targets, Bombers. It's your job to study the intel.:thumbsup:

[Decay]

Tinfoil and water. Wet the glass stick the shiny side on and no more Australian sunshine killing your sleep or for you flying.

That's an old theatre trick.
You can light seal windows with tinfoil and water.

But Darwin open plan living - Arches and wide doors. Louvres everywhere.
Very annoying.

Now also need to fix the V on my keyboard.

Found it - Track IR set to trap the 'center' key. Which was - 'V'

[DRock]

A good technique to practice, and very useful for our bomber campaigns.

After much negotiation I have reached a somewhat peaceful agreement that lets me fly some airplanes with you guy's. lol Still a slight chance I could be a bit late. but it looks like there is still some room in a spitfire so if you could put me with "Goose" :salute:aka Moose that would be Rad.:thumbsup:

NOOOO! I've been on your wing the last two events in 109's and now you're the enemy? :faceslap: Not sure who THAT peaceful agreement was with, but it certainly wasn't me!

Be on TS 1/2 an hour before mission start time, and from there everyone will be told exactly when to connect to the server, after the briefing and 'sorting'. However you prefer to do that, from the forum or in the server list in-game.

Happy to fly where needed blue or red but flying a Blennie would be my preference. Slot me in wherever and thx to Zim and the others who are organising this.
Am on-call so if I don't show it will mean I'm stuck in an operating theatre but hopefully will be there.
For us AUssies 2100 Saturday GMT is 0700 Sunday morning Sydney time.

110s will be introduced very soon, Skylon. I'm sorry if you were hoping for them on this campaign. In the future missions, we will be trading 109 slots for 110s. We are also hosting a campaign featuring the 110s. Behind the scenes, we have 8 campaigns in the works, with more to come. Featuring all of your favorite planes, and exciting match ups. New targets and objectives never used before in CoD are also being implemented and researched. Some of these campaigns are even based on actual bomber missions carried out during the Battle of Britain. The next campaign is, actually.

The next campaign isn't for another month, so now is your chance to fly with some of the largest formations ever seen in CoD.

This is going to be fun, I woke up with butterflies in my stomach.

Hi DRock,

thanks for setting this up and your answer. One question remains unanswered, why this time we have different numbers of fighter slots for blue and red.
Stuka night saw even fighter numbers, while there have been 5 more slots for Stukas but they are comparably slow against the Blenheims.
Adding that blue has only rudimentary radar compared to reds i see this setup pretty unbalanced.

Thank you.

Ill present i answer if you dont mind.

The purpose of bomber night is not to present a "balanced" map. We do want more bombers than fighters. Thats the purpose of it. Its not the "hunt the bomber down night", which you can get on the regular missions.

[ATAG_Monkeynut]

I would guess it's so reds have a slight chance of success!

This mission appears to be set up to approximate a circus type operation as carried out by the RAF over northern France from late 40, early 41 onwards.

In reality these missions often had only six bombers (it was usually a small number of bombers, but on occasion larger forces were used), escorted by up to 12 squadrons of Spitfires!

They were engaged by much smaller numbers of fighters from the Luftwaffe, in much the same way the RAF had intercepted the German raids in squadron/section strength the previous summer.

It doesn't take huge numbers of defending fighters to break up a raid if the attacking fighter cover are tied to the bombers.

Maybe I've over thought it, but this would be my reason for having less blue fighters than red.

Lolsav and MN pretty much nailed it. We test these maps thouroughly, and select the numbers very carefully, and thoughtfully. Obviously this can only go so far, as some things are better left out of control. Another major reason why fewer 109's are available is because of cannons. I've never seen a spit rip the wing off of anything in one burst! A well handled small bunch of 109's can have a feeding frenzy on blennies, escort or not, the cannons will rip. It'll all boil down to man behind the gun sight.

Great evening, just wish I could do the formation flying, in the grand traditions of the RAF we were definitely more of a bomber stream!

[ATAG_Freya]

Strange! me and my Kameraden saw the Blue victory message come up ?

Yeah, my bad. I saw it too. I have some sorting out to do with that. It's supposed to work so that if the attacking team doesn't complete the targets and time runs out, victory message goes to the defenders, then still allows 20min RTB time. I may have to replace that with the generic "mission over message" or the like. Then kill the process 1 minute after. Live and learn! Thanks Meyer!

That whole thing was awesome - from Clodstreamer's whiskey-laden Wing-Killer, using the Force, getting rammed, Zim's beautiful landing (it really is fun to see a nose-over from the rear-gunner seat), to the final bridge going.

Wait till you guys see what next time will bring . . . :-P

I have a track as well.
Can someone point me at the thread to collect these?

It should have my collision with the clown taking off on the crosswind runway.
Who does that?

I was a bit cross.

There'd been a bit of taxiing SNAFU and I had ended up sitting on the runway on Rebel's 7 O'Clock.
Woot! in the lead element and looking tidy.
VERY happy.

Admittedly I got a warning that there was crosswind traffic, but I was rolling - and an abort with traffic behind me was going to cause as much trouble.

I hope whoever that was, has learned a valuable lesson.
- Cos it sure made a mess of the Eastchurch active runway.
If there's lots of traffic - Active Runway only. ESPECIALLY if you have to wait.
Cutting corners does not save time.
Maybe I should change my sig to "If we didn't have time to do it right - how come we have time to do it again?"

(I think I'm still a bit cross).


Oh yeah - FANTASTIC sorties - I had HEAPS of fun thanks to everyone who organised, flew, or gunned.

[InvaderZim]

Still a bit worried about the balance. Looking at the trak there was only 10, 109 fighters left by round 2. Blue was there a concern about lopsidedness that caused half of blue folks to leave? Here is a screen shot from round 2. Only 9 - 109s in the fight:

If so, let us know about this kind of stuff so we can fix it.

We didn't all leave on Red side last time in Stuka Storm.

If nobody volunteers, you can send it to me and I will process it. You will need a free file sharing service because the track files are big. Usually a real bugger to trade.

[Decay]

Here's my tracks.
Haven't reviewed yet.

I was near the back on the first sortie so you should be able to get some long camera angles of the whole group.

I don´t know the reason why blue players left, but i know the reason why i did not come to this event.
And i mentioned my concerns already in this thread....

[ATAG_Monkeynut]

Looking back at the track of the first raid. We were initially bounced by just Berserker and JG26 Badger, followed swiftly by another 4-5 109s that I could see. This broke the raid up and a lot of aircraft went down.

Less than half the attacking bomber force landed back at Littlestone.

The balance can't have been far off, the reds turned the map in the end with 7 minutes to go, there would not have been time left for another flight if those last aircraft had been intercepted, in which case blues would have won, it was very close.

If there had been 5-10 more 109s in this map I think it would have been impossible for reds to win in the hour and a half allocated, with the target numbers as long as blues made the interception.

If you want a map with large numbers of fighters then its going to be a Turkey shoot if both sides know the target area and pretty much the only viable routes to and from target in the time allowed.

[Combat Wombat]

"This broke the raid up and a lot of aircraft went down".

This was planed in the brief and worked well I believe as with the first raid we took out One section (green ) and almost all of the airfield plus a couple of other targets in orange sector. A fun night or morning depending on ones location.

[DRock]

I don´t know the reason why blue players left, but i know the reason why i did not come to this event.

What, no 110s?

Uneven teams? (doesn't help when you sign up, but don't show)

If you are not involved with the planning of campaigns of this size, let me explain a few things to you.

-this is the second campaign we have released, and we are still working out numbers.

-what happens if 15 newbs join the 109s, instead of JG4 members? Is there a difference in that outcome?

-if 20 109s can attack the bigwing, crash or die, then respawn and attack again, is that even numbers?

-escorts get one chance to defend, attackers can respawn and engage a second time. is that still 20 vs. 20?



These missions are not necessarily designed to be even. The advantage will often go to the bombers, to help maximize the potential for a massive conflict. What good would it do if we could sneak the bombers by the enemy without being spotted?

Because of the freedom we allow in these campaigns, the outcome will be hard to judge.

Skylon, if you are not going to join us, because it's not set up as 20 vs. 20, then these campaigns are not for you.

These campaigns are designed for teamwork, and leaving early is a terrible way to let your team down.



Most people are having a lot of fun with this, so we are going to keep up the good work.

[Wozaworld]

Wow. That was a great night! well worth being in trouble with the wife for (supposed to of gone to her sisters for a family meal hehe)

whens the next one?

Right.. I've to clean the house tip to toe in my boxer shorts now, her majesty wants lunch too...

also, how do you guys record tracks through the game? I've tried before but it records as a file I can't find a program for?

[Wozaworld]

Ah! also.. I don't know if you have heard from others.. but over the target area things started to go a bit crazy with the graphics, our gun sights kept disappearing and frame rates dropped like crazy!

[DRock]

I can explain this.

The destruction of fuel storage is programmed into the map.

During testing, we realized the the lag produced from the smoke was just too great, so we put the targets away from these containers.

These fuel containers were not part of Bravo or Alpha target, and they weren't suppose to go up. A stray bomb must have bounced into that zone causing the plume. Or someone thought it was a target.

We will be adjusting this for the future.

Sorry about that.

[farley]

Well, it turns out I have the choice of either flying with you guys or spending an evening with a hot and fierce redheaded chick...

Sorry guys. My basics instincts have spoken.

You guys have fun!

I'm sure we had more fun than you did Chuck!: :-P

Well okay, maybe not quite as much fun..... ;;)

[Wozaworld]

it was a small glitch Drock on a really well organised night. You guys did amazing, thank you.

Not at all Zim...if that screenie taken from the .trk file (like I know it was) then it will possibly, only show the available aircraft in the vicinity (or perhaps airbourne?) rather than all in the server, me thinks.

We had 8 dedicated to hitting the Blennie`s with 9./JG52`s 109`s engaging the escorts, no one left from my flight until mission end (thx Randale, Riff and Groove) and Berserker can confirm his flight`s status from within the second element.

I was in contact with 9./JG52 Meyer until mission end, unsure of their numbers but I need to take this opportunity to thank them on a job well done. Meyer`s professional mannerism serves his staffel well and that we hold 9./JG52, as with all organized squads within the community, in the highest regard. S!

[farley]

Many thanks to Zim, and DRock and any others who set this up.:thumbsup:

It was my first group flight, and i enjoyed the evening, even though i flew high and ended up not being involved in any combat.
Since i always fly solo, and have been PK'd several times, i'm always leary now and try to fly at altitude and check my six so i can stay alive.
Next time though, I'm going to just get in there and mix it up.

Just a quick apology to my flight mates as i was tardy returning to the base after he first sweep, and kept everyone waiting on the tarmac.
I was ignorant to the way things work and so took my time RTB.
Thanks for your patience!

I'll enjoy watching the vids from this mission, and look forward to the next one.

[ATAG_Freya]

I think we hit the balance point pretty good. It came down to 1 Blenheim being able to take out the last bridge. 1. If Torian had not made it over, after the rest of us were out of ordinance, no victory would've happened. It was a nail biter the second time over target. Blue had some empty slots available, and had they been filled the outcome could have been very different. I think everyone did their jobs to a 'T', both veteran and "noob", red and blue. Nice work fellas! :thumbsup:

[DoubleStandards]

I Think a lot of people had their time zone conversion wrong. There were a lot of pilots that showed up on TS at 2000UTC (a hour early) looking to get started that I did not see return for the actual game start at 2100UTC.

I will look into putting the timezones into our sign ups. There should be some easy way for us to do that , so we can end the whole timezone confusion issue.

To be honest, I still get confused with Daylight Savings and all...

Let's all switch to ZULU TIME.:smash:

anyway, it was a lot of fun...the moment i spotted blennies mid channel was like...omg!!!
good job spitfires...you were so annoying and i always had at least 2 spits on my 6...luckily my parachute opened after i got rekted over smoke...landed just next to the pub :D

On behalf of my Kameraden in 9./JG52 i would like to thank the organizers of the event run last night.
We had a great time and we look forward to many more well run missions like this.
We too had small graphical glitches every now and then but this did not detract from the fun we had (the main point is it not)

Here is a tutorial for track editor, files need to be converted using the ATAG software. You already figured out how to request permission to use it.:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_EZlcaTpc

[ATAG_Jerry]

Once again, Thanks to the organisers for putting this together. It was the most fun I've had in a virtual aeroplane. Awesome work Zim, Drock, Freya, Flare and others. As far as the time confusion goes, my game has two red clocks in the top centre of the screen. One displays GMT, the other local time in brackets. Don't know if this is so for everyone, or whether it needs to be set like that. See screenshot below. Hope that helps.
