Wings~of~War: Midway 1942

Unread post by Warren »

Wings~of~War is a continuous 24 hour, 7 day dynamic campaign for IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 4.09b1m, on a bundled T-1 connection using the AAA Unified Installer v1.1.1, FB Daemon II (FBD2) and Lowengrin's Dynamic Campaign Generator (DCG). The Wings~of~War Server will go online at 0001 hours; 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Monday, 14 September 2009 and will go offline at 0001 hours; 12:01 p.m. Eastern Standard Time the following Monday, 21 September 2009. The server will reset every two hours to keep the Wings~of~War generated mission objectives current and up to date. A two hour session will equal one campaign day. At the end of the one week period we will tally the scores to determine the victor.

The victory conditions and objectives for each battle are determined by the mission generator. The briefing will contain reports of conflicts in various areas of the map. You will need to fly in defense of your ground units as they will be attacked by enemy on the ground and in the air. Reports of the previous day’s activity will be displayed along with the mission briefing.

Rules

1.) Each participant must be registered for the event. You can find the link to the registration form on the main page of the web site. The link is entitled Event Registration.
2.) All participants must be listed as an active squadron member on their website’s roster.
3.) There will be a limit of 30 pilots per side in the server at any one time.
4.) All pilots will fly with the appropriate markings
5.) Any pilot found to be cheating (flying hacked, exiting the server to avoid a death, etc.) will be banned for the remainder of the campaign.

Scoring

Points are awarded depending upon what happens to the plane that you shoot at in each combat. Points are awarded differently based on what happens to the enemy aircraft that you targeted and whether it is destroyed in the air, force-lands, crash lands at a friendly base or another aircraft intercepts it on its return journey to base. The last plane to shoot into the enemy aircraft will be awarded the kill points. If ground units also hit the target and no air hits were achieved the ground unit is regarded as the killing unit. If the targeted plane does not disintegrate but lands successfully the score is ignored. Pressing "Re-Fly" adds the points achieved in the last sortie to the score.

Scoring is based on the default values for targets. A list of target values can be found here; Target Values. You must survive and return to base to get 100% of your score. If you are forced to land outside of the boundaries of an allied airbase you will be awarded 70% of your score. You will be awarded 50% of your score if you bail out over friendly territory. You will not be awarded any of your score if you are captured or die in combat.

Sit Out Times

The Wings~of~War Server is set up to govern itself meaning that the sit out times, aircraft ordnance load outs, etc., are handled by the Dynamic Campaign Generator and FB Daemon II. If you bail out over friendly territory you can re-fly immediately. If you bail out over enemy lines you have a 1 in 10 chance of escape.

Death/Capture Penalty: 15 minutes (approximately)

Salute!

Thanks for inviting the WW to this event! We are discussing this topic at this time, and there appears to be some interest in the format. At this time I'm unsure what kind of attendance we can guarantee (pending a decision), but we should probably be able to field several members at varying times throughout the week.

If we decide to commit, We'll be sure to sign-up in the registration page.

Nice site, BTW; really cool color scheme and imagery!!!
Fly Well,

S!~ Sir,

Thank you for stopping by. We'd love to have you, so I do hope that you and the rest of the WW can make it. I think this will be an exciting campaign, perhaps even better than North Africa.

S!

Some pilots from AKA would like to fly this campaign - do we need to pick one side or the other based on balancing, or can we pick either side?

Thanks for putting this together.

S!~ Relent,

You can choose either side and we'll try to accommodate you, but you may end up on the opposite side for balancing. However, we typically run the campaigns twice and switch sides the second time, so you'll get a chance to fly both.

Thanks Tiger - I think some of us who've registered have chosen red, with others not choosing yet. Since it will be replayed with everyone reversing the roles it doesn't really matter then. We can probably go with whatever side needs more pilots.
