Storm of War WW2 Mission test: Friday 22nd June (Tomorrow)

Hi all,
Phil intends to have is SoW server back online tomorrow night with a WW2 mission in Normandy. All WW2 aircraft will be included, so a good chance to get up in the Spitfire! I think it is unlikely that I will be able to attend; all depends on Laura as we’ve not got the girls.

FRIDAY JUNE 22 - 1930 UK LOCAL TIME

I plan to throw up the SoW server with a ww2 test mission at the above time/ date.
Slots are availble for both Allied and Axis pilots (Spit IX, P51, FW190, BF109)

The mission is set approximately June 15 1944, immedaitely prior to the fall of Cherbourg to US forces.

Allied Pilots have P51s and Spit IXs available in France at three ALGs in the Bocage area, either side of the Duvre (without A.I. wingman)
Allied pilots can also spawn at very limited slots at 3 bases in southern england, these spawns will provide you with an AI wingman who will spawn with you and follow you in to battle.

Axis Pilots can spawn at Lessay, Cherbourg or Caen Carpiquet (without A.I. wingmen)
Axis also have a very limited number of spawns at Evreux which will provide you with an AI wingman who will spawn with you and follow you in to battle.

Allied ground units and ships can be found between St Vaast (near cherbourg) and along the normandy coast to Courseulles-sur-Mer.
Axis ground units are concentrated around Cherbourg and at Caen-Carpiquet airfield.

All active airfields have flak at them. Flak guns can, of course be destroyed.

A.I. aircraft from both sides will be present.
A couple of B17 formations will fly in from England at unsepcified times during the mission.

Very basic mappy thing:

On midsummers eve no less (about the biggest holiday in Sweden after Christmas)!

I might actually make it on tomorrow! :banana:

That was proper good fun! Reminded me a bit of flying CoD Storm of War, although quite different time of the war, this time it was our bombers coming in to bomb the germans. :slight_smile:

Sorry I couldn’t make it. We went out for the evening. I’m really hoping to get back online next week. I want to try out the Spitfire with a payload.

Must admit really enjoyed it, even though I got kicked once the rest of the flight was good, apart from my shooting, but more practice and I will get there, Phil is going to tweak the mission a few times, that means we can have the same mission running, but slightly different versions of it, which sounds good to me, and a blast to fly along side 6 B17’s with th cockpit open

I wonder if it’s something to do with phil’s connection? You only seem to have that with him hosting - plus people mentioned the lag-spikes again. I might offer to host one night, see if there is a difference.

No, I think Red have had problems with me hosting as well IIRC.

I heard others complaining about lag, but at that time I didn’t notice any lag (but I didn’t have any other planes in visual range, so…).
