ALL EAF PILOTS - Storm of War trailer - sign up for event

I wish to use EAF nights to record a trailer for Storm of War! Please sign up!

Please also sign up in this SoW forum thread, to help build interest: http://www.stormofwar.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2329

PLANNED DATES: Thursday 3rd September + Monday 7th September + Thursday 10th September.
MEETING & BRIEFING 21.00 CET / 20.00 BST / 19.00 GMT.
MISSION START: 21.30 CET / 20.30 BST / 19.30 GMT.
TEAMSPEAK: Storm of War
SERVER: Storm of War

1. Anyone can join, though I need organized squadrons most of all! I especially need Axis squadrons!

2. EAF and I prefer to fly Monday and Thursday. If you cannot fly on these two days, post it!

3. Are you willing to spend at least 2 hours for this event? It will take some time to form up, loiter and wait in the right place, before going into the big bomber formation and battle.

If all those points work for you, please sign up! If you are interested but can’t on Monday or Thursday, tell me so!

THE PLAN - recreate a huge interception mission with escorts, over the cliffs of Dover:
A: Each side has two groups of many aircraft: 3-4 Wings/Schwarms.
B: An AI bomber raid will fly west across the white cliffs of dover. All the fighting will happen around the bombers. THe raid is the center of attention. Follow it if you are lost or have disengaged.
C: A specific area to fight over: Dover and its cliffs. Easy landmark to aim for.
D: Air spawn: both sides spawn in the air and all the different squadrons close together.
E: Mission can be restarted multiple times to get everything back into position.

The event will have three chapters:

1. Interception: First contact with bombers and escorts. Allies chase down the bombers.
2. Attacking/Defending bonbers; Bombers are attacked, escort defends them
3. Reinforcements: More Allied and Axis fighters arrive to engage at will.

Summary:

1. Axis 109 escort large AI bomber raid at high altitude (first group).
2. Allied Hurricanes attack AI bomber formation (first group)
3. Axis 109 escort attack Allied Hurricanes going for bombers (first group).
4. Newly arriving Allied Spitfire reinforcements attack Axis 109 escort (second group)
5. Newly arriving Axis 109 reinforcements attack Spitfires (second group)

Result: a massive battle, lots of shooting, lots of smokers, fires and damage.

I hope you are interested! This is for the best of SoW - a trailer to draw more people!

Ambitious mate we’ll give it a try!!

Signing up.

I don’t expect many to join tomorrow, so I aim high and hope for the best out of three attempts.

The two extra days next week are to cover up the lack of pilots for tomorrow.

I hope EAF are OK with me organizing these events on three EAF nights - we have no official campaign until 15th sept. Let’s use that meantime well.

i’m in, i hope that 51 mates join it…

Dependant on numbers signed up, we may only focus on ONE chapter per night.

Thursday 3rd: Interception and first attacks on bombers.
Monday 7th: Attacking/Defending bombers, Hurricanes vs 109 dogfights.
Thursday 10th: Large Spit vs 109 dogfights.

Very nice plan Stuntman, but i’ll be available for sure only monday 7th. Lets see for the next week thursday.

On for Thursday!

~S~ All,

I’m back! I can’t do Thursday but I will be online for the Monday event. I have posted this onto the 79vRAF Facebook page to, hopefully we can get plenty online.

I should be getting back to normal service from Monday

OD

i can only on Thursday 10th September

Thanks for your support guys!

To every else, just sign up for the day you can fly. You don’t have to fly them all.

I can be there

I’m not sure I can make it tonight or even monday, but (unless I get sent to Spain, unlikely) I will fly next thursday.

Thanks guys!

Please let me know how many will join tonight? I need to setup teams.

We will be Hurricane pilots attacking bombers. If we are less than 8, we will need others to join us. If we are more than 8, some should go Axis, they have few players too.

It all depends on the final number count.

yes i sign up for this probably will be part of the smoker group… eventually

Thanks a lot everyone from EAF who joined. It was an epic but bloody fight. Looked very good. Lots of bombers and lots of smoking (Hurricanes and bombers).

Did you chaps record tracks? Send them to my mail please!

Hi Stuntman, what’s your plan for tonight trailer?

Sry gents. I only updated the event topic on SoW forums. For Thursday just in case I forget again, have a look there.

Is this still happening tonight? I’m all set up for Ground Control

Most likely not. I’m just finishing the trailer now.

Who knows I might need voice actors.

First draft of trailer.

Feedback welcome. Please comment anything you felt was negative or can be improved.

Please do not share outside EAF or SoW yet. When final version is done, then we can share.
