Need some Guidance-dev or something

Well.. what we did was took a map and modified the GPO (i think whats it called) and made a map where it was an all vehicle war on Kashan.

The idea was to have something engaging for the community due to well.. playing PR every day for 6hours (doing this for 7 months straight)as a clan can and will get boring.
Don't get me wrong, this mod is near PERFECT but at times it does get repetitive.

Anyways, out of respect to the PR community, we wanted to know if its ok to host private matches with all clans (wont be open to pubs) every Friday night involving just tanks and jets. Consider it a "training" night if you will.. Like a scrimmage with all vehicles only.

Here's the quick Brief:

***********Operation: Iron Fist*************


Now after a couple of hours of work by some talented people.

We are a go! Testing as been done multiple times on each and every single vehicle.

Server: CIA Short Bus Big Game Battles-T&P (tanks and planes)
Map: Kashan (modified)
Date/Time: 10/01/2009 - 8:00pm EST
Whats in it per side:
(Air)
4 Fighter Jets
2 Ground Attack Helos
1 Light Bird (with weapons)

(Ground)
Enough tanks/apcs to field a whole team!!!!!
4 AA Trucks
2 Tows or spandels
2 logistics trucks

Thats about all folks

The idea is to have a vehicle heavy battle with drastically low respawns of vehicle assets and lives.

There will be multiple clans involved!

If your interested in testing it any time soon go to this link for the download (2.2mb for the custom map and 2.1mb to change it back to normal)
both in 1 download.
EVENTS DAY: Big Battle Tanks and Jets - Covert Infiltrate Assault Forums

***Notice, the server side files are kept by us so it will only work with our server***
Inorder for me to pass out the server password, please private message me so I can send it to you.

*********************End Brief********************


We did test it all out and ran scenarios, found it was VERY balanced.

The dynamics are enough to keep the game engaging from beginning to end.

Usually the light chopper would scout infront of the armored convoy with attack helos loitering not too far off. APC's would create a screen to not only probe for enemies, but at the same time mask the actual location of the main assault force.

I can add a lot more but anyways, back to point, I want to know how the community feels about us doing this..

Thanks,

Btw the pics of the vehicles-the vehicles do not spwn in that order we just took 30min to drive them in position :p

This sounds fun.

I'd like to give it a go.

But eh, why not just have a separate Kashan.

Would allow us to play without having to go through the trouble of reverting it.

Or you could just play Combined Arms :P (although I heard you guys probably will do that for next weeks match)

Quite the uh... low number of attack helos and attack LBs.

Mind increasing them? :P

What we can do, is set you up as a guest- just register on our website and then and put in an application as a "guest" All guests can where the =Agent= Tags.

You do not have to join the clan, but as a person we know, your allowed to join in our specialized servers and join in scenario games we are hosting(a very nice one is in the works)

That's one of the competitions or scenarios. Operation: Apache Storm IS a scenario we are developing involving a squadron of Apaches of 5 apaches and 2 light choppers
against a group of tanks supported with some AA. Right now that is a WIP scenario.. hush hush ;)

Besides we want ARMOR BATTLES !

Ah.

If the AA is there, helos are done for.

If tanks keep a tight formation with no AA support, I will laugh hard when 3 Apaches fly in, firing off 24 hellfires and 114 Hydras, then finishing up escaping crewmembers with 30mm.

Thats why you want to use the armor to try and counter the AA's yet counter armor with Attk helos. Its all tactics-clans are the main ones who can organize these formations and attempt to formulate strategies.

yes, afaik you can but you are required to password your server.

I was planning to audit kashan and other maps like this myself down the road but I have more pressing projects and other things to do IRL. There is plenty of scope for modified GPOs of existing maps.

Yeap you may run completely new maps or edited maps as long as the server is passworded.

Sounds interesting, Good luck guys!

Apaches still have the issue of having any sudden movements making the missiles veer off course. So tanks vs Apaches is going to be hard for the side using Apaches. Going to have to ambush em, pop out and smoke em.

Now now Hunter this is not the thread for "fixing" gameplay issues :p

Lets keep it on topic. Anyways, we have the guest application setup, if any clans are interested to join in, please PM me or register for our forums at "ciagamingclan.com"
Please 1 person per clan representing. Don't want a jumble of communications.
