1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted March 31, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted March 31, 2015 Shame Pook, but understood and thanks for the heads up. We have two more highly likely attendees but they aren't 100% sure yet - if so they can slot in on the vacant slots in Yellow & Green or become a two ship Blue Section. The idea behind this segregation is as follows; it allows me quickly to designate Sections to different tasks if we end up in a multi-type target engagement, so for example if we meet escorted bombers I can task Yellow for bombers whilst I take Red Section in to engage & distract the escort fighters (or at least part of their number) and direct Green to cover Yellow as they attack; once Yellow have broken off, Green can engage the bombers as Yellow cover their attack. My hope is that we could keep up this cycle as long as possible until either the bombers are all downed or the very least minimise our losses if some escorts slip passed Red Section (or whoever was detailed to engage the escorts). Alternatively, if we meet an unescorted bomber formation I can direct Sections quickly to attack particular parts of the formation so we can try to avoid getting in each others way - and mitigate the number of collisions that can occur during such attacks. A further benefit of this is that in enables us to inflict as much damage to as many bombers as possible in the first pass. The formation will break up quicker as more damaged bombers slip out of formation, reducing their effective cross fire. This, combined with a good chance of eliminating a proportion of their rear gunners on the first pass, should make a second further attack a far less hairy endeavour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted March 31, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted March 31, 2015 Great news chaps! Confirmed we should have a live Ground Controller for this event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slicker55 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Fenrir... thanks for confirming my application to the DD squad. Please count me in... As the newbie, this is all quite bewildering but I have been very fortunate to have Snacko as my personal trainer... We have covered sooo much in a relatively short space of time - I am truly indebted to him for his time and patience. Any chance of me taking position GREEN 3 in the above chart so that I can try to follow him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted April 1, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ok Slicker, you are 'Green 3' with Snacko & Eshark as 'Green 2' and 'Green 1' respectively. Have you registered your Steam ID? You must have done this else you won't have access to our 'home' airfield (see this post: http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/11924-cliffs-of-dover-storm-of-war-server/page-3#entry121736 ) Chet: you take Pooks place as 'Yellow 3'. If you have to abort, then so be it. FT and BluBear are big boys and can look after themselves if necessary! Just try to land the aircraft, even on a friendly airfield that is not home base. Jabo & Fruitbat: You'll make up Blue Section with space for one more straggler who turns up.... Any further latecomers will have to take Hurricanes as we will be out of our quota of Spitfire Mk.1a 100oct by this time - please do NOT use the Mk.II Spits as they are our recon birds. And remember gents if you do come in late don't just jump in a kite and go screaming off into the wild blue yonder; there are opportunities for 2+ sorties depending on enemy air activity and I'd rather us go up in Section strength at the very least - otherwise it's too bloody easy to get ten bells knocked out of you stooging about on your own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluBear Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Also chaps, just to re-iterate the obvious; please make sure you are carrying your correct markings as Fen illustrated on the section plan. Remember it's 'full switch', so we'll need them to ID each other. I know it's perhaps an obvious post and most of us regular CLoDers have our markings pre-set, but for those new/returning/forgetful pilots... just a nudge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted April 1, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just a reminder of how can adjust your markings: When you select our home airfield (I do not wish to broadcast its location on a publicly viewed forum - just ask on TS tomorrow night if you are unsure) on the map lobby screen prior to flying, a picture of an aircraft will appear on the upper right hand side, in our case it's a Spit Mk.IIa - we don't want to be flying the Mk.II unless were flying recon, so in order to change the plane double click that pic which will take you to the plane option screen.On the top left hand side of the screen is a bar describing the currently selected aircraft (it'll be the Spitfire Mk.IIa in this case) - double click that box and it will show you all the aircraft currently available to us at our home airfield the Hurricane Mk.Ia (Rotol) 100 octane, Spitfire Mk.Ia 100 Octane and the Blenheim. Select the Hurri or Spitfire Mk.Ia by clicking on the relevant image.The aircraft displayed in the lower left hand side window should now become that which you selected. On the right hand side is a list of options you can use to edit various details.In the 'Type' drop down, change to (or leave as) 'Fighter (early)'In the 'Regiment' drop down, change to (or leave as) '66 Squadron' for Spitfire Mk.Ia or '32 Squadron' for Hurricane Mk.IaIn the 'Squadron' drop down, change to (or leave as) '1'In the 'Callsign' drop down, change to (or leave as) 'Fibius' for Spitfire Mk.Ia or 'Jacko' for Hurricane Mk.IaIn the 'Paintscheme' drop down, change to (or leave as) 'default''Noseart' left/right leave as 'none''Tailnumber' - this is the individual large alpha/numeric aircraft code letter - I present a proposal of whom should wear what (as in the other SoW thread) so we can ID each other quickly. If you don't like what I've suggested and would prefer a different one then please discuss: DD_APHill - ADD_Artie - TDD_Arthur - HDD_BluBear - BCaptJackG - GDD_Crash - CDD_Eshark - EDD_Fenrir - Q DD_Fruitbat - KDD_FT - F DD_Funflak - UDD_Jabo - JDD_OverDhill - O DD_Painless - MDD_Pooka - PDD_ROX - RDD_Snacko - S Slicker55 - L You can type numbers or letters in this field just remember that numbers will be displayed as letters, with 1=A, 2=B, 3=C ... etc. 'Serial number' - whatever you like (these are the small black aircraft serials just forward of the empennage) Ignore the 'colour' optionsEnsure the 'Markings' selection box is ticked/filled.'Weathering' is entirely at your discretion.Hope this helps. Finally, we will all need to be on the SoW's own Teamspeak server to communicate with Ground Control if they are available: IP = 85.236.101.5:10427 password = stormofwar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted April 2, 2015 2. Administrators Share Posted April 2, 2015 Another reminder about comms. Bear in mind that we are not alone on ts, so please do not discuss mission details or base locations in the main room as there could well be members of the blue team present. The DDz have their own channel/room so that's the place for discussions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
