688i or seawolf ONLY.

Blacklight 08-14-11 04:42 PM

I'm best with the American subs and can adapt to the other subs pretty easily. I don't have much experience with the aircraft or the FFG yet. I should take the time to learn them.
I always make sure that my crews wear their water wings with ducks on them in case of an accident. The ducks are important because they make the water wings float better.

Quick question for everyone. What platforms do you feel comfortable with?

Same here. And I'm ok without autocrew.

Imamar 08-14-11 05:54 PM

BTW is there respawns?

Blacklight 08-14-11 07:43 PM

Is it even possible to do player respawns ???

Not in game, but if you are "killed" in a match I don't think we will not allow you to play. I think there are too few players for stuff like that.

Ok. Then my platform choice is 688i or seawolf ONLY.
Can someone pLease explain how respawns in campaign work? If I get killed in my mission, can I attend to another mission? This is very complex...
Ps. Im not native english speaker

Kaitsu 08-15-11 08:05 AM

The campaign consists of matches. You cannot respawn within a match but you can continue the campaign on the next match even though you did not survive on the previous match, right? :)

You made me say Kaitsu, im not native english speaker. Thanks dude. Now everyone will see how stupid we finnish ppl really are. :yeah: :har:
And some more info. If there is only 1 life in campaign as a whole, Im gonna take only 688i or seawolf cause I know them best, and wanna stand a change against you guys. BUT if there is possibility to attend several missions, I can take any platform, Im that bad ass. :arrgh!:

That's the way I understand it.

For example -

HMS Subkiller a Perry class frigate with Cmdr Tarrasque in charge goes on a mission.

It gets sunk by the submarine USS Sneaky.

Cmdr Tarrasque survives automatically and gets reassigned to the HMS Depth Charge (or any other platform) ready for his nex deployment.

AdamMil 08-15-11 09:59 AM

Yeah, there should be respawns. Realistically, the limiting factor should be platforms, not manpower, since they would already have crews for whatever platforms they have deployed. :-)

Imamar 08-15-11 11:22 AM

For me it would be better to have multiple missions per skipper, cause these kind of multiplayer campaigns in our dear loved Dangerous Waters are so few.
I wouldnt mind to have this campaing going for ever. :D

Proposed Team Assignments

This isn't final yet. Right now, my thinking is that it would be easiest to keep DW.pl and Betasom together on separate teams. I'm also trying to divide US and European players evenly to help with match scheduling and time zones, and dividing up experience evenly. Unfortunately I don't know everyone's skill level, but I'm hoping that using DW.pl and Betasom as blocks will have the effect of dividing experience and time zones evenly.

Rebel Faction
1. TLAM (US, all platforms)
2. Sertore
3-7. Betasom members (don't have their names yet, Sertore is organizing them)
8. Tarrasque (UK, Subs and FFG)
9. AdmBleeAnnoyed (Canada)

Loyalist Faction
1 ML (US, all platforms)
2 Imamar (Eur, all platforms)
3 Kaitsu (Eur)
4 Roni_PL (Eur)
5 szwagier (Eur)
6 Grindler (Eur, FFG)
7 Achtachtel (Eur, FFG)
8 Blacklight (US, Subs)
9 AdamMil (Eur, Subs and Aircraft)


Wow, not a lot of people on my side of the pond.
Sertore, to help know if these teams are balanced, what platforms are the Betasom players comfortable with? I'm hoping at least one more Rebel player is good with aircraft.

Once we make it official, we'll send out the passwords for the private briefing rooms.

AdamMil 08-15-11 12:39 PM

I just peeked at the thread on betasom.it. It seems Sertore actually has 10 people interested now (including himself), and they're considering rotating because they told you they'd only provide 6. So I guess you have the possibility to add 4 more guys somewhere if you want, but then it'd become Betasom vs. the world. ;-)

Molon Labe 08-15-11 01:01 PM

Also, let's make this the Last Call for new platforms to be added to the price list. TLAM and I do not want to make changes once this gets underway, so if there is a platform you want on your side that isn't there, now is the time to speak up.

They can provide as many as they want, but if the rosters get too lopsided I would want some players to go Loyalist. We can add during the campaign, too, just as long as no one switches sides. I may have to do some IP tracking...hmmmm.

We need rowboats! With frickin' laser beams on the front! And lifeboats in case the rowboats sink! And, and, luxury yachts to celebrate on after we win!

Molon Labe 08-15-11 01:27 PM

The capability brought by rowboats with lasers would be about the same as the IRCG Speedboats with rockets and 23mm guns, already on the price list. :O:

AdamMil 08-15-11 01:36 PM

But rowing builds character.

And I was wondering if it'd be worthwhile to forego one Seawolf and spam 40 PCFGs. Or 1400 small patrol craft. ;-)

Seriously, though, I think you could get a lot more bang out of 11 Kilos than 1 Seawolf. But I guess morale would drop. ;-P
