Hello PR overlords,

the time between rounds is way too long. I am not sure what the deployment std is but it's short enough to have a quick banter and then load into the next mission.

It's been like this since the last update.

Cheers

I will make a vote about the timezone. We'll use Jitsi, as it offers the most convenient way of having multiple peeps in a chatroom with VOIP [ and Video].

Unfortunately another epic store exclusive.

I think it's the same in many other nations. Here in GER if you say you are in the Bund then you will be looked at a bit weirdly. Not neccararily hostile. Soldiers in uniform are a rare sight and there are next to no official military parades. If anything there is only negative press about it. Right wing extremism in KSK, responsiveness of Luftwaffe is very slow, increased budget because of NATO membership (BTW our plastic rifle is fine, just used outside its specific parameters!!). I personally have nothing against people who are in the military in general. I might even be very interested in first hand accounts of stories.

the only thing the military does is infantry stuff and killing and that just scared the shit out of some people, like there are alot of trades and jobs in the military then just fighting.

In a way every trade is meant to support the infantry stuff and killing... The disconnect lies deeper in the mind of citicens that never experienced indirect or direct thread of conventional war. Generations like mine are used to the idea of constant peace. Maybe it's like with IT in companies: "Why do we need them? All systems are working fine."

Hey guys,

yeah I am still down. But we have to change the topic from "=VG= Social Meeting" to Community Night or smth. Judging by the feedback it would be great to include regulars who are not technically "VG" but are active just as much.

On the topic of anonymity:

I've dicided the best way is to let each and everyone opt in if they would like to show their beautiful mug. Video Feed should not be required.

We are familiar with each others voices so a microphone is acceptable to be required. If you feel differently about this please let me know.

List of things that have to be decided:

• Software: Skype, Teams, BigBlueButton, Zoom (please not), Jitsi Meet, ...
• Format:
  • Show and Tell (Some people can apply to prepare something and show some stuff related to gaming in general like PR Modders or BMS Simpits.)
  • Online crowd games (drawing stuff)
  • ...
• Time: Timzone neutral as much as possible. I think the best would be on weekends at our usual event timing.
• Date: During summer preferably, in the next three weeks.

I am looking forward to hear from you guys about this post.

Cheers

Yes, this time @=VG= Melon Muncher was lightning fast. One of the first servers online after the first update dropped.

Please update the server

Today we are releasing the second update for v1.6. With it we bring you further gameplay improvements as well as some new assets for the Russian faction. This includes the 2B14-1 Podnos mortar and 9K135 Kornet ATGM deployables. Along with those new weapons we also introduce a brand new map to the BETA program by community mapper Rabbit called Masirah. A beautiful 4x4km map featuring a large peninsula, you can read the highlight on it here.

Included with the gameplay changes is the ability to see the supply points remaining in supply crates. Supply points were always used to determine if a crate is depleted or not. Now we provide this information to the player as well. We have updated the manual to give you more information on the cost of kits, rearming and others. Read it here.
Another big change is the improvements to the back-up sights. To learn more about these changes and new content in v1.6.2 you can read our highlight here.

This update can now be downloaded through the PR Launcher. Enjoy!

Hi there,

I would like to know if some of you are interested in a big not mandatory VG social meeting with skype/jitsy or bigbluebutton?

Since the member list grew I thought it might be cool to meet and greet.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Which formats are you looking for?

PNG with at least 600dpi

Aspect ratio 1:1

Thanks!

Hi there,

this is primarily directed @=VG= SemlerPDX but might be interesting for others too.

Is there a download page or section for all VG brand pictures, logos, signatures, info material, etc.?

I would like to design periphials for myself with some logos and stuff.

Cheers in advance!

This topic is as old as the game lol.

The first memberable moment I had in PR was when I played on a Vietnam map as a newb while Hueys flew along blasting CCR over local chat. I was instantly immersed into the moment. If done correctly it is possible to understand both the pilot and the surrounding. @FoeHammer had a viable method of feeding his mumble PPT into the music stream (via Virtual Audio Cable). The volume of the music wasn't louder than the engine sound for effect volume at 10% so every word was understood.

But since he was really the only one I ever met to bother making it as least as annoying we discourage playing music over mumble.

In the end I can understand both sides - but the side that is potentionally being disruptive or annoying always loses.

TLDR: Melon please add CCR to the huyes via left mouse button /S

You can do WW2 and more in Arma with mods. We also run events in Arma 3 which are very fun. @=VG= Sausag3 and @=VG= .Blizzard. are working one some currently afaik.

Good choice.

Hey conner welcome back, I remember you.

Fools Road looks amazing @=VG= Melon Muncher.

Could we playtest these maps before release?

PR has lots of new features, great time to return!

Great mission, thanks blizz 

I own and play it. Excellent game with hardcoded squads. There are INF, Logi and Armour squads. Players can only use the asset from the squad their assigned to which is a very good system and works beautifully (something SQUAD is missing!!!!).

Playerbase is growing because of the recent updates. I reccomend UK servers. They have the most communicative playerbase imho. (Ze Germans are too shy ^^)

The game originated as a WW2 total conversion mod for SQUAD. The devs founded a studio called Periscope Games and commercialized it. Because of this the engine is the same used in SQUAD: Unreal Engine with a little hunger for VRAM.

I if you liked PR:WW2 PVP you will like this game. The tanks handle realistically and you get to shoot the infamous Chauchat squad automatic weapon as the french. Quite cool.

Can we do a training before the mission? Especially the radio handling needs practice (like I learned yesterday). Choosing the correct radio + Long range short range interaction.

Put me down for CAS flight leader, please.

• What's the max view distance set up server side?
• The Super Hornet Mod provides the single seat F/A-18 E and the tandem seat F/A-18 F, which one did you implement? (Tandem seat is more interesting and limits our ability to kill everything and make it boring for INF)
• Akin to unresricted arsenal, do we have control over our pylons/munitions via script? (Like the vanilla "hold space" thing.)
• I assume we conduct ops from the carrier, correct?

Sorry guys I have to surrender my spot. Can't make it tonight.

@=VG= SemlerPDX Thanks for your input! I understand that space is a limitation and yeah DCS is freaking huge.

Yes please. Since it's notoriously unstable. If ppl want even though it crashes 101% they can still set it via setnext, right?

I am wondering if we could host a dedicated DCS server. There is a number of PVE missions available online.

Is it possible? I fear that the hardware specs might be off-putting: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/downloads/world/server_beta/

Thanks for your input guys!
