Hi.You are great guys. But we this player.http://www.il2hq.com/Stats/playerdetails.php?id=173We are trying now to take off. We often crash VIf we take off then maybe u will have time to kill us.

The propaganda war has now gone to phase two. . .reverse psychology proaganda. . .hehe. . .S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

YOU WILL BURN OR ME :)Sorry i want kill u. Im not a part of team.I dont see how u guys burn :(

That's handy to know where you will be in the first five minutes. . .:-DS!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

.....Um Kaster, if Ya'll have trouble taking off do the friendlies killed on Take-off count towards your targets destroyed in the first 5 minutes tally?TX-CudaMinister of Information

I said we try to take off in 5 min.Now we have problem , no one want to be a bomber, so we must cover our units and blow your planes up.After 3 weeks we are able to take off :) but i always go to hangar.Becouse nothing works good i think we will have problem with your sever. U WILL BURN HA HA HAi HOPE SO :)

Hi TX guys just to let you know that we are currently practising for this match at least once a month, we have no hope of winning, we would be glad if you would let us suffer a little to make us appreciate how bad we are, at the moment the synchronised spitfire take-off is looking like a destruction derby, fortunately as soon as we get to high altitude we should have plenty of room to parachute out and save a few pilots.Anyhoo, getting back to the crux of this post, as can be seen from our name we are based in the UK, and there is obviously going to be a time differnce when we would like to fly. I'm sorry for guessing right now, but I presume you are 5 hours behind our timezone (but US is huge so it could be more!). Could you let us know what sort of time difference there is and what time you would be looking to fly?Cheers and please have sympathy on us......you've seen what Kaster is like!

Do we have any idea how long until this match takes place?Seems like we have been waiting for several months now....TX-Deck out.

not before the 6th please  ;-)S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

Yes it seems like a couple of months, crap our beer supply is getting low.TX-Rex

Are you free for the 10 th April?The UK have been training real hard for the up coming match vs TX.They put  together a good team, now fly in cockpit and hard icons.Would you like to spar the 10 th  for the real coming Match?-GOZR

Can we get a list of the pilots that will be representing UK Squad?? They know who we are.....we don't have any idea who they are.White 6

Hi!Current pilot roster is as follows:Player Names:1. [BFs]Scrappy_D2. Yum Yum3. MysticPuma4. Kaster aka Eagle4_Team5. Raven~Daedallus6. Schillig7. [BFs]Yorgus8. LeVola9. Ripa10. [BFs]Anadin11. [BFs]JtD12. [BFs]Xenomorph13. Kernow114. Skinny15. SpideyBackup Players1. [BFs]Bonehead2. [BFs]KaiserB_uk3. bokatar4. Reno15. SgtNathanUK-Dedicated has/is no squad. [BFs] is just a tag for some but not all of the people who help to finance the UK-D server. Our pilots were recruited from server regulars, active community members and actually anyone we could find who was willing to fly for us. This might be a reason we needed a while to get going. ;) We also had to get used to fly without externals, but I think we are slowly getting a hang on it. So we might prove a little more than an easy prey...We also have a homepage:www.battle-fields.combut I think some of you might know this already. Go to the forums to find one or the other thread about the upcoming event, where you can probably find more than the current pilot roster.Looking forward to the match, hope to see you soon (in front of me, if I have a choice). :DBye. JtD.

You guys flew excellently, and were very competitive last Sunday.  I was very impressed, and I don't think the "cockpit off" means anything where UK-Dedicated pilots are concerned.  S!Very Respectfully,GunBlack 2 TX Flight Leader"In a match, the pilot who kills only one enemy and lands safely is priceless beyond measure, while the pilot who kills two and dies once is almost worthless, as he has lost a plane, a pilot and forsaken his wingman"

So guys is the 10th ok? If so we need a GMT for the event. Please go to the link that JTD posted to let us know. Cheers, Puma.

My DSL is screwed up I guess, I was told it would be up and running on the 6th, but still no joy. . . my fingers are crossed. . .S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

DSL is up. . .second level support saved the day. . .too bad I didnt get them on the phone yesterday. . . I had the pee-ons who would continually try to get me to cycle the power on my modem. . .sheesh. . .S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

....a question Eco, Who is your DSL provider? If it was Verizon you should have PM'd me as I am now a ""TAA-DAA" second level tech for DSL and a second tier tech for fiber to the premise. Tell me your troubles and I can get into your switch out there in Cali-Fornia and refer you to the proper number if I can't do it from here.. AAAhhhh, the wonders of modern technology!But....did I get a raise? Heck NO!! If ya have any questions or issues just let me know and I might be able to get ya fixed up in the future......TX-CudaMinister of Information

Missed out on all the fighten words.....>:)

Apparently we took it way more serious than you did. Sorry for the confusion over the time and thanks for showing up.We have been training very hard over the last couple of weeks. I was very afraid Gunslingers presence in last Sundays practice could prove fatal, as we were counting a lot on surprise.Nonetheless, a big fat Salute! to you and feel free to visit us - forum or server, be our guest. :)

~S~ TX squad !thank you all for a wonderful evening, even though it was quite a bit shorter than expected :). Your sportmansship before and throughout this event is well appreciated though and I look forward to continue flying with or against you guys on UK-D server.A huge thanks also to Pepper and Gozr for making this event possible, and their incredible support. S!I'd just like to say, like JtD said, we did practice a fair bit, even though we never managed anything near a full squad during practice, and the strategy was still being discussed until right before take off. But the one we thing we did learn during practice, and I assume you learned now, is that its really hard to defend.To Pepper/Gozr: is it possible to change the maps for the next server wars ? I honestly feel its too easy to take out the ground targets. We had something like 6 corsairs and we still had plenty of bombs  and rockets left after everything was destroyed. If another team uses a similar tactic, it will just become a race who destroys them first, and I think we've proven it can be done (too) quickly. In fact, with just 3 planes, its in theory possible to wipe out *all* targets in a single sortie.Maybe you could consider adding some more ground targets, or putting some AAA around the tanks or something ? Or put the targets further appart so a defending team will have better chances of intercepting the Jabo's ? Just a thought, even if it goes against our own strategy. Cheers,Skinny

I agree with skinny. It also seems that at an actual combat altitude that if the opposition fly at tree level there is no way to see them from even 3 K on that particular map. And in the sim, we don't have ground based recon, or any ground based radio. I never saw a single con from 3K of altitude (less than half the usual), this suggests that deckfighting is needed, which is not what we (or any "blue" type squads) would normally do. This slants the victory objectives in the favor of one type of flying style.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

Basically you are facing the dilemma every air force was facing during the war - except for the US Amerircan and British strategic bombing campaings.You either fly low like the Soviets did and hope not to be found by the enemies aircraft, and you are very effective against ground targets and other low flying aircraft. However, almost all enemy aircraft will come in with superior E.Or you go up like the Germans did and will do well against lower aircraft, but will only have a marginal impact on anything happening at tree top level.And, of course, what if you fly at 1000 meters to intercept all ground pounders, but suddenly escorts show up at 2k? Defense is just one big mess. ;)

Yes, only differences are: in the real world I can see planes below me from 9000 feet, it doesn't take 5 minutes from wheels up to the enemy installation, and there is no recon/comminucation/coordination that can be done when these things aren't in place save for aerial recon, which in the current version of the game, has loopholes. As you said though, some practice on that particular map and scenario (and planeset) would have demonstrated most of those issues pretty clearly. S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

One solution is to get very good in max zoomed views ( more like reality view size ) Special Button on joystic is requier for optimum usability. More i fly better are my settings and an endless tweaking. Same when you doing a motorcycle or car race on a new tarck. at first the lap are slower even if you think you did good after some time and many laps you will find your way for optimum trajectories, braking and speeds, you'll go much much faster and smoother.. same thing when your train and train ..-GOZR

> Yes, only differences are: in the real world I can see planes below me from 9000> feet,Have you ever tried it ? A camouflaged plane ? I have a hard time spotting 25m span gliders with bright white wings and fluo orange decals from half that altitude..

"Have you ever tried it ? A camouflaged plane ? I have a hard time spotting 25m span gliders with bright white wings and fluo orange decals from half that altitude.."Yes, practically daily. Over a cityscape it can be tough, over countryside as we have in the sim it's far less challenging, still a challenge, but a challenge that I for one can meet. The greatest challenge I find is spotting aircraft at the level of the horizon or co-alt. . .those on the deck usually present a lesser difficulty. In the sim I feel it is reversed, this changes from patch to patch however.In any case, the best tactic is the one that works against your adversary . . . and you guys nailed it. . .
