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

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.
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.

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.

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. :-)

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.

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.
