Hard Sarge -> Some screen shots (2/24/2008 6:25:10 PM)

We don't really have a AAR area yet, so will post some screen shots

this is with the 2.07 patch and the muiltskin kit

I had a nice set of shots of a fight with a Staffel of 109s, but I was hitting the wrong key

so, went with the next battle, 266 Squadron hitting a undefended Stuka Gruppen (the battle before, took out most of the 109s in the area)

off in the distances, you can see the enemy planes coming in

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/24/2008 6:26:37 PM)

first pass, close in fire and pull up for the come around, damaged two Stukas, the rest of the Squadron is making there run in

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/24/2008 6:29:12 PM)

break some planes away from the group, and close in for the kill

first kill

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/24/2008 6:34:19 PM)

Snap around and begin the hunt again, find another loner, close in, get about a 30% deflection shot, and flame the engine

good pass, 2nd kill

good mission, I get 6 kills the squadron gets 10, the Gruppen breaks up and breaks off before the rest of the chaps can get into action

a good morning so far, 10 Stukas and 9 109s, but one of my Cane Squadrons was eaten up pretty badly

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/24/2008 9:00:36 PM)

of course, it is not all good or easy kills, these guys got mad at me or something

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/24/2008 9:07:03 PM)

of course, that is a bad thing, that is a whole staffel coming after me, if I don't screw up, they are in trouble, there were 4 English Squadrons in the battle, against 48 110s, and I got at least 12 chaseing me, all in a bunch

keep the Spit on the knife edge and they will never close the circle, and call for help, they are sitting ducks, but don't make a mistake

break to the left and you are dead, take off pressure on the stick, and you are dead, don't pay attention to the alt, and you are fish bait, tricky, but a bad move, we slaughtered them and I flew home

then another battle with 110s, I looking over my shoulder at what is chasing me, I am already closeing the circle, and my help is starting to show up

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/24/2008 9:10:15 PM)

my mates close in and break up the horde, I cut the corner, level and pick off a 110 that tries to break away, then snap back into the tight turn, I got 4 of the guys chasing me, and 2 others that crossed my path while I was keeping my tail clean

but as this shot shows, it wasn't with out some pain

ravinhood -> RE: Some screen shots (2/25/2008 12:39:50 AM)

Is this a flight simulator? I thought this was a hex based game of the Battle of Britian??



Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/25/2008 2:20:16 AM)

it is a flight sim, that you can control the planning of the air war (as the LW you can plan the raids, and the GB you can move and control the Defending squadrons) if you want to fly, you can join in and help out, or you can let the game play out the battles






Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/25/2008 4:09:06 AM)

Ahhh this one is sweet, get a report of 72 110s and 30 Stukas coming into one of my convoys, lots of GB planes respond

19 Squadron are first on the line, and we got the alt this time around, there are tons of 110s in the air

we hit them HARD, and from above, my boys are on the show today, the 110s keep my spits away from the Stukas that are about 10 K below the battle, but the early boys are there to wear out the fighters

now to go clear the skies of the stukas

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/25/2008 4:10:17 AM)

just in case, I didn't any snaps of that battle, all of the planes in the air, with the tags on, they hide all the other planes, with the tags off, you don't get a chance to see how many planes are really there

the game is really impressive with the number of planes can be in the air, in the battle at the same time

I would really love to see this engine/improved engine down the road in a few years, being able to do the Allied bombing of Germany




kaybayray -> RE: Some screen shots (2/25/2008 6:07:34 AM)

Wow Sarge you took the words right outa my mouth. [8D]

When you get done with BTR I would like to see you guys at Matrix build just that. The main draw for me to this game was my play with the old classic SWOTLW way back in the days of the 386 with 5.25 floppies [:D]

However this is light years ahead of that in every respect. I would like to see you guys build something like this with respect to the BTR format. [8D]

You guys just keep making work for yourselves. [8D]

Later,
KayBay



Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/25/2008 6:49:45 AM)

well, just remember, I am "not" with Matrix, I am just a fan of games like everyone else around here, but I am working on the BTR game :)

ahhhh, now that would be a game, BTR with the option to jump into the action, Tiffies on ground strikes, P-47s doing gun runs on a airfield, FWs diving on a formation of B-17s, ahhhhhhh






freeboy -> RE: Some screen shots (2/25/2008 3:29:40 PM)

ok, now just stop that, u got me a drullin'



Lewis Shockwave -> RE: Some screen shots (2/25/2008 9:40:20 PM)

from a code point of view sarge thats exactly what bob does you know, and so I suppose in theory  with a larger planeset is indeed possible. [:D]



Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/25/2008 10:13:13 PM)

Roger, but getting it to work with the deeper raids and all will be alot of work

and I think, most people are going to need a much better computer then most of us got right now (mine is a month old, and I don't think it could handle it yet :)

and, you got a much larger team then I do, so the ball will be on your court for a game of this size

(I can play and win flight sims, I can't code them)

but, again, it would be a heck of a game, a real monster





Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/26/2008 6:11:06 PM)

Still don't think it can keep count, think something is wrong with the 110s, I slaughter them, and the numbers stay the same, I shot down one recon 17, and it shows up as soon as the mission is over, I shot down 20 110s, and the numbers stay the same

had a heck of a morning, 155 LW losses reported (newsreel) (loss page shows 155 losses added to the total, but no 110s were lost, I got at least 20 (or at least claimed 20, i got 7 of them)





Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/26/2008 6:17:28 PM)

this one was pretty, my Squadron got there too low, so took some time to get to alt to attack, but while climbing, was able to watch another squadron go to work

we slaughtered these 111's, by the time I got close, one Staffel was already shot down, with the other two badly hurt, I was able to close in and pick off some cripples, while the squadron went to town

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/26/2008 6:19:39 PM)

of course, intell was bad and those were really 88s

(hey, flew alot of mission between snapshots)

this is one of the pages about the 110s not showing up on the loss page

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/26/2008 6:20:48 PM)

Some Stukas took off to hit a Convoy, by the time my boys got there, they were gone, but I had lots of gas, so we went hunting

payback time

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/26/2008 6:21:59 PM)

still a shame, the snapshots don't show what the game can really look like, but


I missed the big boom when it happened, alittle slower on the camera button then I am on the trigger

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/26/2008 6:22:38 PM)

Which Green Leader got the bang, I was closing in





kaybayray -> RE: Some screen shots (2/27/2008 2:44:05 AM)

Sarge,
I think I know why the reports seem inaccurate. All the LW intell go through Goebels desk. [8D]

I am workin on my first RAF campaign, doing the Convoys. Seemed like a likely place to start to learn the system without threat of overload.[8D]

I have noticed that when fighter raids are detected they are listed as 109's but so far I have intercepted about 6 fighter sweeps and all but the last one have been 110's. I have also noted some discrepancies in reporting from both sides. I figure it is just FOW in the game. [8D]

Later,
KayBay



Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/27/2008 4:00:24 AM)

Don't you start on me [:D]

FOW is one thing and I don't worry about FOW, I am saying the game is not counting losses, depending on what the player does, I am getting close to being able to force the game to not count losses when I want it to

(as a tester, I detect a pattern, then work on what and why that pattern happens, and then work to be able to make it happen, right now, I am 80-90% there)

I have not seen any 110s for 109s, but I have seen some Do 17s turn into 109s (trick there is the numbers, you see a raid with 13 planes, it is a recon with a staffel of fighters with it)





kaybayray -> RE: Some screen shots (2/27/2008 6:38:34 AM)



I hear ya [:D]

That first raid that had 109's was showing on the marker as Ju87's. I found them and swooped in from high 4 oclock... RUH ROH... one lone Junkers sitting on top of about 12 109's. [X(]

Ouch!! I am a bit more carful now[8D]

After that I just figured what I was seeing was just FOW in the game. Have not really monitored it like I know you are.

I am just havin a blast learning the game, runnin my favorite BOB pilot, Lester Kowsnovski (Polish) ..... Repeat Please !!! [X(] (Recall that from the film BOB?)

I like how the Flight Leader keeps track of you... "Red 3, What are you doing over there?" [:D]

I will try to pay closer attention and see if I can add any clues for you.

BTW, how do you clip screenshots on this forum? I might like to add one or two if I get some that are pretty interesting.

KayBay



Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (2/27/2008 8:26:47 AM)

click on post reply (not fast) at the bottom of the box is a check mark, check that, and then hit upload pic, a brose button will show up, you got to load a picture that is supported and is of the size limit, lot of people don't know how to do it, but once you do, it is easy


screenshots from with in the game, are the wrong type, but you can resave the screenshot into Jpeg and it will upload



Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (3/8/2008 11:47:40 AM)

some shots from the other side

1st Staffel of I/JG52 is assigned to escourt some bomber pukes to bomb Tangmare, we go along for the ride

soon the scream is heard, Englanders, break, and away we go, diving and turning, trying to keep the English fighters away from our pukes (they may be pukes, but they are our pukes)

soon the regroup call is made, we have chased them from the skies, my blood on fire, I have shot down 6 of the tommies, soon my throat rash will be cured, as i watch the bombers turn for home, I notice that most of missed the target, it is plain as day down there, and no smoke, no fire, well, I will see about that

and down I go

I catch the field by surprise, the black men are working on there machines, looks like a bomber field, twins parked all over the place

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (3/8/2008 11:51:49 AM)

opps uploaded the wrong shot :(

the CO will have a fix when he hears about this, a single plane making a raid on a English Airfield, but he is a old man, he should be back home in his rocking chair, this is a young mans war

young Eagles and young Lions are what the Fatherland needs

Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (3/8/2008 11:54:01 AM)

but even the best, the bravest, know when it is time to run away, make a last pass and waggle my wings as I fly away

Tangmare is a mess, well, I think it was Tangmare

ahhh, my throat is feeling better already, soon it will be cured

[image]local://upfiles/1438/8C2A17F3EA3F4DB48BC4AE64265E8A0F.jpg[/image]



Hard Sarge -> RE: Some screen shots (3/9/2008 1:39:28 PM)

flying with some Stukas, engage a squadron of Canes that try to stop the Stukas

the boys are in good form and break up the attack before the stukas get hit

turn my head and get a strange feeling, and head off to see what it is

oh my, this is gonna be fun
