CobaltUK 138 Report post Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Ok fresh start to day1 as no sign of an official win for the team and that seems to be the norm since a long time. Was day 26 and while up to that point there had been plenty of red ground tgts there was little if any sign of blue movement. As an experiment I saved current situation and ran in x32 offline for 18 hrs but no real advance. Also did the same with all squadrons reverted to HQ but no difference. Perhaps not surprising as the air war HAD been won already. If there were an obvious group of regular users then it might be reasonable to poll for what majority wanted max campaign length to be but since that's not current situation I think an arbitrary number of 22 days might be the norm in future though I was still having fun at day 26. New arrivals to the server might be put off by overly `quiet` state of play but to totally avoid that maybe a max of day 5 would be needed. (which would not be MY preference). Edited August 19, 2017 by CobaltUK final comment added. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=VG= SemlerPDX 2,495 Report post Posted August 19, 2017 Thank you. I like the campaign going for several weeks. I'd like to continue in this fashion, and we'll take it as it comes. If there are issues or it's completely dry and dull, there is no reason we can't just restart to Day 1, though. Feel free to use your best judgement. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schmidtrock 38 Report post Posted August 21, 2017 I think running them for a few weeks is preferable. A new guy's .02 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltUK 138 Report post Posted August 21, 2017 Well 3 weeks + 1 day was my choice so sounds like that fits with comments so far 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltUK 138 Report post Posted August 27, 2017 Found server had crashed during my off watch rest period. Last auto save was around 1am but 4 hrs or so passed so re started to approx what it would have been to keep the daylight where expected. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltUK 138 Report post Posted November 2, 2017 Server re started to last save. Now day 25 but blue forces seem to be moving west so worth some more time/effort in hope of a win. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=VG= SemlerPDX 2,495 Report post Posted November 2, 2017 Definitely would like to see how this plays out. Jeffu and I hit some tank battalions in East Pyongyang and some A-10C's were also dropping bombs in the area. Static said he's been hoping to see this one to the end as well, so let's keep up the pressure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltUK 138 Report post Posted November 4, 2017 War seems to be over despite as often no satisfying announcement. The usual `bad timing` and A.I flying only Tarcaps etc. No strikes. So restarted Day 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=VG= SemlerPDX 2,495 Report post Posted November 5, 2017 Thank you very much, Cobalt! I thought I was gonna be flying today, and my body was all "I don't think so, bucko!" - it's 6pm and I'm finally feeling better, so I'm hoping and praying I'll be there tomorrow. I LOVE the first days of the war!! Dodging SAM's and chucking spears at MiG's -- a little piece of heaven! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltUK 138 Report post Posted February 3 Day 1 re-start............. Just because Seriously though its a fine line between playing the war out and putting off visitors with a quiet situation. For some reason the wars end is never properly revealed so thats another reason to abandon. Last save has been kept if anyone voices wish to continue. Its not a problem to load it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltUK 138 Report post Posted February 10 Serious failure to thrive. Only start of day 8 and red forces 60 miles south of Seoul base. Seosan down and only kunsan launching f16`s so yet again restart. Lets do better 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltUK 138 Report post Posted March 3 More human players of late results in a quicker attrition of red forces. Not an official victory but requires a day 1 restart to give players a reason to join. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
