Hi. We had minor problem with maps again, and apparently some people may be missing map for todays mission.  We solved problem by embedding map to scenario file. So if you are testing mission and missing map, no worries, it is now embedded to server scenario that you will download from server upon joining.  And servers already open too.

Allright - I will place you in A14-16, I THINK that is the section, but TBH I am not sure. If not we will change it tonight so it is, no problem.

 Checked...  section leader is  A14,   First detached from section is  A13   and last that was together with  A14  was A16

So give me A14

A13 to @Falcon

and lets reserve A16 to @Maic   if he cannot make it I can have it on my section.

Though I really don't know how call signs really go.. so in the end I would leave last call to   @Higgs as our platoon leader.   Well go as section to those call signs where he wants us.   

Im coming and @Maic (intends to come but may not be able)   We would like to have tanks,  we work well as a team.   (will multicrew together if other one gets disabled)  

Also I am looking for third guy, that we could have half platoon / section

Well to put it short.  I think vehicles in question are  RCL  and DF90     I am definitely going to do lot more testing with these two.   

Also..  on list is T-72m1   and  Challenger 2...  and as follows rest of the MBTs but on those since there is no way to measure elevation  things are complicated.

 Uh oh..  CV9040 is on list too!  That actually is a beast, it would just need vehicle to observe its fires.   It can actually fire like 5k indirect fire with HE-T  8 round salvos.  

☝️   You seem truly interested about SB, and there is so much content in Steelbeast and possibilities.  That it is very good idea to have little bit of extra time to learn how to do things that you don't have to make hasty judgement.   

Also because getting started can sometimes be troublesome.

It would be interesting to see a platoon of player controlled M60s firing HEP at a target 3 - 4 km away under the direction of an observer.

 It would!  I would love to experiment with that sometime. 

That's what I am afraid. SB is not like WT where map size is abusmally small (in comparison) and rounds probably  won't have significant dispersion either.  That's why I was actually wondering if we have any other weapons with high trajectory. 

Reqoilles riffle comes to mind... 

Would be interesting although not currently possible to try this with Scorpion, BMP-1, BMP-3, PT-76... Was there any other low recoil guns in the game?  

Though I do remember how horrible inaccurate BMP-1 and Scorpion are... So I suspect the idea of it being useful beyond being area weapon is simply not possible.

And the other thing is..  as i recently read from Finnish Armor magazine that  with indirect fires the most essential thing is effectiveness. One must get enough guns to fire small enough area to achieve "Stopping / destructive) effect.  With just few inaccurate guns.. it has Virtually no effect and it's just waste.  (Abuse of AI that hasn't been scripted to react)

However... I can imagine couple of situations where this could be useful.  Problem is that these situations are so rare and unlikely that to train for such especially alone (with very little possibility for actual effect) is laughable. And change to get say.. full platoon of players able to do this... And not having better things to do with time or ammo.  

Yeaa... 

I'll give it a go!  Any tips to make it more successful? 

Just wondering here.. weapon that player can reliably aim has highest trajectory on 1-4 (up to 6) km distance?

(Mortar and missiles excluded) 

We don't have any low recoil guns yet as crew able? Like on BMP-1 / Scorpion? 

I suppose T-72 may actually be good choice here...  Also wondering Challenger 2 with HESH (i already feel at limit of my masochism when mentioning that ) 

Also thinking that the dispersion and effect of wind will start to effect so much... That it will be plain ineffective and near impossible to hit anything firing indirectly. Even if one would have drone spotting and helping to aim. 

And what i am thinking is indirect firing ability guided by drone. 

But i suspect it just wouldn't work or would be so difficult that it wouldn't be worth it.

Atleast it wouldn't work like this.

Still it is something i have tried few times to get work... But so far without luck. And perhaps for good riddance.

I can take A66.

This was last weeks mission.   Next one will hopefully be posted earlier. If you have mission on mind youd like to CO on coming sunday just let Nike know, he was asking for suggestions.  

C32 for me and @Maic please   

Ill be there so I can host if needed.  I don't yet know what I will pick. I possibly have crew for 1 tank (possibly)  

o.o  no session today? 

Apparently there is!  

Okay. Another question. 

Recently, last two games i have hosted. When starting loading the session i have head people comment on the voice "Who didn't feed hamster" and last Sunday I realized that it was my PC that was the slowest loading in the scenario. 

Should that be a concern when hosting multiplayer session?

When I played alone...  I used to have most things maxed out...  however since about 2 years go because others seemed to struggle I started to use default settings. And recently even I have noticed that my pc sometimes struggles these days, especially if I try to dial things up.

Greetings. On last sundays Kanium mission I experienced momentary exremely low FPS below 10, and I got concerned about my settings. Especially since other players noticed similar thing happening. And If I am not mistaken it was in different times.

So here I am asking opinion / recommendation of what to tune down and to what I shouldn't touch.  On last few sessions I haven't had any problems what'so ever so I am not sure what the problem is, but as I very much do not want others non visual game experience  to suffer  I am thinking of setting some values down.  Also..  I suppose some players on Kanium sessions have even lower settings than I do..  so if so could you please share your settings to me, so that I could improve your game experience in MP games.  TY.  

Here are my current settings.

And here is my current connection

Session is up.  You guys can try to join already.  Were on TS ready to help anyone who has problems.

Go for it!  Give it a go!     ❤️

Apologies.  No gaming for me this weekend.  I just don’t think I can be comfortable in a chair long enough to game this weekend.  Hopefully it’ll be better next weekend.    Good hunting guys!

Get well soon!

That is STRONG shit ... respect 😀👍

 

 

 

Well see how it goes   xP

I will have two FINNISH crews tomorrow    So I will take also B34       @Maic will command second one

@Grenny could we get some kind of translations for those few terms you're using.

I barely have idea what those could mean. 

LOC

a.R.

IOT:

If possible, wingman Leopard for my full Finnish crew.

I'll command,

@Maic is my gunner

and Evilfox will drive.a

I'm getting lessons on how to properly command a tank and i may be bit... Overwhelmed if i need to do platoon leading in English and tank commanding in Finnish. xP 

Not saying i couldn't but i certainly wouldn't prefer that. 

It's so dark here even at day times. Especially shadowy areas and dark green woods I'm background... Makes me wonder how they did it back then and before. Perhaps they painted gross hair on red or Something else.  Whatever they did.. that i wish for centurion. Just to be able to see reticle would be nice.
