| Quote (Mr_J) I decided to do an experiment with vehicle wrecks. So wreck living time was raised from default 10 seconds to 3,5-4min, at the moment on the following maps only:
- Kharkov Outskirts
- A day of Zitadelle
- Prokhorovka
I'm not really a fan of the increased wreck/body time but I can live with it if the players want it.

Nice idea! Good locations to take cover behind!

Why? Does your game lags? Actually the vehicles wrecks are low detailed version of their base so they wouldn't affect the performance as much as the soldier bodies.

| The mod can be laggy at times, especially on sea maps. But also on inf maps with tons of dead bodies lying everywhere. Disconnects are also very frequent. If anything we should lower the stress on the server not further increase it.
I liked the increased time for bodies first but it's more of an annoyance now especially inside of buildings.
But it's just a minor complain and of course we can try it.

| One thing I noticed but always forgot to mention: On Bizerte it's almost impossible for Axis to win, the devs also noticed that and did some ssm. Not sure what they exactly changed but let's try it: ftp://princeumeboshi2.servegame.com/modfile....943.rfa
Thanks

| Quote Omaha: Keep the current bunkers unrecapable (if that's a word) but Allies
should bleed until they cap the flag after the 2 bunkers. Axis bleed
when Allies cap all but the last flag.
How about
beach - 0
bunker east- 20
bunker west - 20
middle flag - 30
north bunker - 30
german base - 40
?
Looks like it meets your wish. Do you think we should disable the cliff ladder at one go?
Quote Warsaw Uprising: Flag count is good, but no ticket bleed even when Germany has
all flags. Suggestion: Poland only bleeds when Germany holds all flags,
but Germany should bleed as long as Poland holds two flags. Just as a
test, it should be difficult for Germany to get control over the city
(like in RL).
ok i trust you so I uploaded this file but I don't like Umeboshi ssm, since as you said, I never know what actually I'm uploading

I don't know, has there been a problem with it? If you think so do it, I don't have an opinion there.
The Prince Umeboshi ssm is endorsed by FHSWman & Co, because they post the changes on the FHSWdev twitter account. They are usually bug fixes and small balance changes (adding or removing a tank, increasing/decreasing spawn time) from what I can gather via translator. I looked into the Bizerte.rfa and in ObjectSpawns.con at the end is a section called
Code rem -----------------------------------------
rem --- 0.51 SSM add ---
rem -----------------------------------------
under which you can see the changes. Not sure if that's the case for every map though.

| In my opinion we should increase the respawn time of bombers on El Alamein. Anyone agrees?

| Yes.
And I also suggest to make some changes to Moscow Outskirts, the amount and quality of Russian armor is a bit extreme (2 x T-34, 2 x T-34/57, KV-1, KV-3, KV-8). Maybe use the PrinceUmeboshi ssm again? They removed 2 T-34 and added a Stuka kit.

| Even though I won't be there I think maybe removing the kv3 and 1 t34 would be fine. kv3 is a bit overkill for that map and yeah way too many russian tanks that kick ass.

Btw. lets please switch the thread. This one is for events...

I wouldn't go from one extreme to the other, start with a small adjustment, e. g. add 30 s.

| We got one problem on two maps so far:
German tanks still keep respawning at a flag even when the allies got that flag.
It concerns the maps "Reichsbahn" (last flag) and "Liberation of Caen" (flag "German Hauptquartiere").

Sorry about the late answer. The problem is that these tanks do spawn as result of certain flags being
captured by allies, so in fact they are axis reinforcement. If I assigned the
Panzers spawner to the flag held by Germans, then the tanks will stop
spawning, but their 'reinforcementing role' will be gone, as Germans get
them available from begining. Dunno If expressed myself enough.

On first thought it sounds like a nice idea. Your intention to have more realism is good, however in this case there is a huge difference between intentions and actual effects. I don't think you did sufficient testing (indeed, there are some problems that emerge only when testing with many players).
First, the wrecks block spawns. When a vehicle is destroyed where it spawns, as it happens often, the new vehicle can't respawn. You are forced to wait more than the normal spawn time, because the wreck has to disappear first. This is completely senseless.
Second, they block the way of other vehicles. Sometimes they block the only way to some flags, hangars, bridges, etc. and there is no practical way to get the wreck out of the way. Maybe you could argue that this is a legitimate tactic. However, when players start purposefully using it, I think you will quickly see that nothing good comes out of it.
Third, they lead to more game crashes. I've noticed that many times when a collision or a series of collisions involve 3 or more vehicles and some of the vehicles explode, at least one of the players involved gets a crash to desktop. When wrecks stay longer, the chance of this happening increases.
Those are things that only lead to less actual playing and more waiting, putting up with strange arcade (i.e. non-realistic) elements of the game and generally limiting gameplay.
I propose that the mod be removed from Prokhorovka. For Kharkov Outskirts, A day of Zitadelle and any other maps that might be considered for adding this mod to, a careful study should be made (such as what are the spawn times for vehicles, are there any strategic bottlenecks such as bridges, are there aircraft for both teams on the map, etc.) before running this mod.
Quote (marduk) What about seven mins. respawn time for each plane?
This is also something that can only limit the players' chance to actually play the game. It encourages the enemy to simply destroy the unoccupied planes on the ground to deny the enemy's ability to use them for about a quarter of the entire round. It can change the whole balance of the map completely to one side for long periods of time. I hope you meant each of the two sides' medium bombers (He 111, Wellington) and not all planes, because that would completely ruin the balance. When one team achieves air superiority once, the other team wouldn't even have the ability to challenge them, simply because they wouldn't have any aircraft, and as a result that team would not be able to get out of their main for at least seven minutes (because all aircraft will attack anything on the ground).
This is again something that limits players' options and doesn't achieve anything good. If you see something bad to be fixed, lets identify the problem correctly and think of something better. Maybe we can find an actual solution, not just compromises.
I, for one, see it this way on El Alamein: the Wellington, when occupied with multiple airmen is too tough to shoot down (mainly because it repairs too fast). Almost impossible for one aircraft alone. My proposal: a better fighter for Axis. The two Bf 109 modifications there (don't remember exactly) both have poor maneuverability and not enough firepower (I think it even survived direct hits with 250kg bombs, which is ridiculous) to shoot the Wellington down. One of the better Bf 109 modifications or any of the Fw 190 modifications should make it fairer. Then let them respawn normally (restore the original spawn time) and fight again.

| Interesting posting and I agree with most of it.
I very rarely fly fighters on El Al so I don't know how the balance is there. My only request is to add planes which fit in the time frame, so no Bf109 K-10 please.
