Persian Gulf Nightmare. MP Multistation Challenge (Match)

[Furia]

This time we aim for higher. Saturday 17th December 2200 GMT we will make the most of this sim on MP.
Scenario would be Persian Gulf, Allied Forces try to keep free navigation and prevent a blockade of sea traffic by Iranian Forces.

Allied Task Force:

1 P-3 (multistation) Assigned to Oneshot and crew
1 FFG (Singlestation) : Furia
1FFG (Multistation) Seawolves Surface Divission: Labo, Bud, JoGary

Iranian Blokade Forces:

1Kilo (Multistation) Lutwolf, TLAM_Strike and SKeet
1Kilo (Multistation) Xabbarus, Kapitain, Kiwi Zero Six

This makes a nice combat of 13 to 14 players

On this scenario every platform would have different goals and missions while the overall outcome would be a team effort.
The map will have minefields, fighters, arms smuglers, SAM, SSM, patrol boats ect.
Coordination, team effort and skill would be really needed. We aim for the most realistic combat so we estimate it last between 2 and 3 hours.
Of course we will be using Beta patch 1.03 + LWAMI realism patch for maximum realism.
At this moment we have avalaible for this match a capable Iranian Kilo Class submarine. We are offering this possition to a crew of people (minimum3) that can work as a team on it.
Any crew that want to take this sub and are ready to challenge some skilled players contact us here.

[LuftWolf]

You can count me in. :cool: :arms:

[OneShot]

Since I'm allready mentioned I'm of course in. But since I love to play Multistation my Orion is opend for whomever wants to share it with me. Just post on this thread and/or let me know.

[TLAM Strike]

5 PM in New York eh? I think I can make it. Mind if I join you OneShot? I can handle any system on the P-3 and have a Mic for voice comms.

[LuftWolf]

No, TLAM, I need you on the second Kilo. :gdamnit: :arms:

PLEASE!!! We're both New Yorkers... you can't sink me...

[TLAM Strike]

But I’m from Rochester killing fellow New Yorkers is what we do best! ( :attack:Murder Capital of New York :attack:)

:tongue:

I guess I can dive a kilo on this one. :wink:

Will I have one by my self or do I share?

[XabbaRus]

Can I take the other Kilo?

I'll see if I can get someone else to join me, but at the mo I'd prefer to skipper it alone.

I have a mic and was wondering what voice commsn you are using?

[LuftWolf]

You'll have to use the Mod Xabba... :smile:

I'll be on TS. I have a couple servers or we can use the Orion Warrior Server, I would imagine, if OS can get us permission.

[JoGary]

I can make that. Think someone asked me to help in mutisatation on the frigate though so i think i may already be booked for it :)

[SKeeM]

Hey can you guys use a third New Yorker on those Kilos? Im a bit of a noob but i can work any station.

[TLAM Strike]

Luftwolf how about a Kilo with a crew of just New Yorkers?

[OneShot]

Using the OW TS is of course no problem. Just look over at the OW Homepage for IP, password and other needed stuff in that regard.

Cheers
OS

[XabbaRus]

Yes luft I have installed the mod.

I want to Pm you about some stuff on subsim later

[LuftWolf]

Sure, we can have New York Kilo. :arms:

We'll bust some wakehoming caps in their ass... :attack:

[Furia]

Attention all hands!!
One Iranian Kilo would be fully manned by New Yorkers!
Luftwolf, TLAM_Strike and SKeet.
I feel the free traffic on the Persian Gul is compromised :hijacked:

So far we will be about 13 to 14 players on this combat. This promises to be interesant :cool:

Crew assignements would be posted on the first post if this thread.

[SKeeM]

Cool guys:cool: I just need the team speak info and a confirmed time. EST.

[XabbaRus]

So if you Yarkers are a crew can I be the lone wolf?

[LuftWolf]

I vote for Xabba in the second kilo! :2ct: :smile:

[swimsalot]

Im in for the 17th, I'll fly wiith Oneshot on the P3, if it's open.
I have mic and Teamspeak/Ventrillo.
If you need a US sub I can drive the Seawolf fairly well ;)

[Caseck]

No MH60s for the FFGs?

[Furia]

Gentlemen.
Since we have had so many requests, stay tunned on this forum and we will soon post if we can accomodate more players and wich platforms.
Main problem is that I have to modify the map, each platform have to have proper spacing, and so far blockade forces are just 2 Kilos wich have to fight their way on shallow water and to keep it balanced we can not drop on them the whole 6th Fleet. :tongue:

Let me see what we can do with this scenario.
We are still reserving the second kilo for a MS crew (minumum 2) however if no capable crew shows up we will asign it for one single skkiper.

One note about the game set up.
Based on our previous experiences about game set up, we would like that people show up sharp in time, so if the game is supposed to begun at 2200GMT, that by that time people is already connected to the host and with TS running those who want to be connected with that.
We all value our time and unless we get organized properly and in time, we could waste about 30 minutes to set up the game.
I will post on this forum the multiplayer settings that we are using but if somebody likes it different for his platfform, he just have to ask here. This way we will also save the time while seting up the game to review the MP settings one by one and your game time would be just game time and fun :arms:
Stay tunned to this forum for updats on the scenario.
:biggrin:

[Furia]

Gentlemen for future matches and to accommodate for the best times for scheduling, not this one of Saturday 17th wich stays as already scheduled, would be really good to have your oppinion about your preferred times for matches voting on this poll (http://www.orionwarrior.com/forum/showthread.php?t=729)
This way we will try to accomodate better our real life schedules and the matches.

[Kapitan]

im availible for this mission :feedback:

[Kiwi Zero Six]

I'm keen if there's space.

ICQ on 17907570 if anyone wants to chat about it.

[XabbaRus]

I'll take Kapitain as my crew member, and Kiwi too.

[Furia]

Roger Xabba. You got it. The seccond Kilo gets assigned for you as Captain with Kapitan and Kiwi as Crew.
The map is almost ready and I can tell you all it would be
"intense" :tongue:

[Kiwi Zero Six]

Hot damn. I can do weapons. I can't do sonar or TMA (only have very very basic sonar skills and no TMA).

[Oyashio]

Hi guys. I needa know what time zone is 22:00 GMT? I'm on GMT +8hrs.

[Kiwi Zero Six]

0600 your time mate.

[Furia]

Hi guys. I needa know what time zone is 22:00 GMT? I'm on GMT +8hrs.

You can use thisWorld Time Link (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/) to locate any time zone and most capital cities in the world

[Oyashio]

0600 your time mate.

Ok that was easy. I am interested to join in. Is there anymore space for me?

[Furia]

Sorry Gents, this game is already full, however we may have another one like this next week if we have enough players interested on so post your availability on the next week match and we will put you into a plattform:wink:

[SKeeM]

When MP games are being set up here could we use ZULU hours as the time zone instead of saying GMT. ZULU=GMT and i like the way it sounds better:biggrin: And considering what we are playing here it kind of makes sence. I belive all Navys in the world use ZULU hours.

[OneShot]

Nope, the US Navy uses ZULU as a common point for their clocks, while the german navy uses a different one. Same goes for Russian and probably some other navies. Generally speaking (USN seems to be the exception) do Navys use the timezone that is prevalent in their capital to set their clocks.

[SKeeM]

Yea the US military uses ZULU and as far as i know its really GMT time.

[Kiwi Zero Six]

So how do we get the IP of the host? Will it be posted here?

I am sorry for the noobish question; I've only played one multi game before and that was via ICQ.

[Furia]

I will pass the host IP on ICQ about 15 minutes before game start.
My ICQ number is 119714069
From there we will move to server.
Thos of you on multistation, if you want to be on a voice comms program, try to have this set before the game so we get no delays.
Once again let me remind you that for this game we will be using 1.03 Beta + LWAMI 3.0
See you soon

[Kiwi Zero Six]

Cheers, Furia.

[LuftWolf]

It just occured to me that we are going to need a teamspeak server.

Could you pass that around as well. :-)

I hope everyone on mulitstation has microphones...?

[Kiwi Zero Six]

Well I sure as hell enjoyed myself!

[soundken]

both games rocked :biggrin: way intense loads of fun thanks for letting this nub jump in last second, for all my fellow nubs out there if you havent played mp yet DO my icq and msn are on my profile feel free to contact me anytime you wanna play

[Kiwi Zero Six]

This was our view just before the first game crashed.

He was about 8k (roughly) away when it crashed. He was at about 10 I think in the photo.

[gunner]

hey yo how you guys doin. Can i join never played online before and i am really interested.

[LuftWolf]

Hey guys, sorry about the microphone issue. My soundcard input gave up the ghost... I ran out and grabbed a USB upgrade so next time I'll be good.

I wish I could have joined the second game, but I had to run out.

How did it go??? :cool:

[Kiwi Zero Six]

Death from above! AAAAAARRRRRHHHHHH!

That's how it went for me anyway :D

[TLAM Strike]

The second mission was a clean sweap for me LW. I nailed the mission objective (an AOR) with a salvo of 6 Klub ASMs then I dived under the layer and sneaked away with the blue side chasing their own tales (and Kiwi).

[LuftWolf]

Good to hear!!! :biggrin:

Are you going to write up an AAR? :wink: :cool:

[TLAM Strike]

I think Furia is going to do it today, we finished late for them I guess and they (Furia & OS) ran off to bed.
