For me il2 is still the king- it offers the diversity of planesets and gameplay that the others simply do not. However how long can it still reign ? If it is coming to its end then obviously we must look at alternatives. So here are my thoughts on the pretenders to the crown CloD - this is a hobbiest development, cant see where its going or how fast DCS - too complicated for the more casual type of flyer which I think is the majority BoX- looks to be the best option, but still frustrated by cost of getting into it and lack of some game modes such as co-op. If they can fix this then Id be willing to move to it Where does that leave the Dogz , well firstly unless we sort out the finances and support the site then at one point we will be even more casual. I also dont believe we will recruit many more younger players to join us as the WW2 sim base was always smallish and generally appeals to older folk with the likes of battlefield more suited to the younger generation. For the established players the variaty of sims has split even this small base,with mod versions and other sims. We are known in the IL2 community and have a server for CLod so that leaves the alternatives and why would anyone established in BoX leave their squad for us? So in summery to keep the Dogz going I think we sort out the finances and wait developments. Once BoX has co-ops then we can have a further discussion on hosting these, however this would split the group further as we already host il2, CloD and DCS.

Here is how they launched a walrus from a ship https://youtu.be/6dmNyts7f1w. Bet they had fun doing all that under fire in the pissing rain in the north Atlantic

Id appreciate your feedback on the mission fundimentals for future planning , here are some subheadings you may like to consider icons ok or not minimap ok off or prefer white plane time too long/ too short map ok to keep as secret or prefer to see before to help plan teams ok to draw on night or prefer longer time to meet to discuss and plan targets - ok or not enough brief , mayby wasnt clear enough or would you prefer more details any other issues Please remember that its the first one Iv really put together so happy for positive feedback to help with other ideas I have My aim is to have these challenging but fun, S Delta

fix for viewing photobucket images https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fix-embedded-photobucket/cdngpnpgjighldbibdgpddaieidknhlf

Photobucket are massive cocks, I used them for britmoddler to post images but now changed to this https://postimg.org

here are some pics, I only have a compact camera which of course decided to act up , but this should give a flavour; Reprobates that kindly took care of me 5 hurricanes (not four candles) First time Id seen hurricane fly One of the mustangs The one I would have taken home if I could Flying highlight Nothing compaires to the gracefullness of a spitfire in flight or the sound of the merlins and griphons

Home after a very good weekend, great to meet up with some of the gang, have checked and the photos came out fine despite the camera acting up, will sort them out and post them soon. Highlights were 5 hurricanes together then hurricanes, early spitfires and blenhem flight

On Choo Choo anxiously looking skyward for straffers

ok seem to have the hang of it now - whats important is to follow the video and do the pretarget selection and start automation- adjust speed until the sight is steady on point - turn off automation - raise sight and align on true target then start automation again- continue to adjust true air speed to keep sight locked on and it hits. I wasnt believing that tas would be significantly higher so that caused the bombs to drop long

thanks FT !!!!!

I used to be ok at bombing using the bombsight, havnt done it in a while but started practicing and find I am dropping long. I use the automatic bombsight as in this video. I have read thors bombing guide and one or two others but the one I use seemed the easiest and used to work is it still ok with mods or do you chaps use a different method that works for you? do I just need more practice?

Ill be on TS at 19:30 in case anyone wishes to join the fun.... see missions thread for ip http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/12853-hosting-test/

Thanks , here are my thoughts from the thread about missions I like the missions to be roughly balanced , it annoys me when I get bounced by vast numbers of enemies in superior planes while I have to make do with an underrated model although I moan about russian shite and biplanes , I really dont mind them once in a while but like Pooka I prefer later war planes. I dislike long missions cause if anyone gets shot down early then its a loooooooooonnnnngggggggggg wait untill others finish and land. The best are SEOW type missions where we team up and take off together with a definate plan.........but then again .I suppose we could always read the breif tho on co-ops Ill look into the ip thingy once I get everything settled

Id like to try out some hosting, on Tuesday it was quiet and FT kindly hosted even tho he was not flying but I would be willing to act as backup. I have a few ideas id like to do but first id like some testing done so that I know I can host and pings are ok. If anyone would like to volunteer for testing then let me know what times you are available and if we can get 2 or 3 together than ill give it a go. Its many many years since I hosted so it is likely to be troublesome until I get it sorted out but hopefully we can work it out

Thanks chaps
