Problems with praccy tonight

[WildThing]

Might not make the practice tonight since i have social event to go to. Will make tommo tho hopefully. Please could i have advance warnings of praccys since im using someone elses ADSL connection and he may not always be there or willing to let me in without warning.

Cheers
Also any update on release dates? Some ppl have been on about pre-ordered copies and recieving their copies like in 4 days.

We're thinking we want to run a practise on Thursday night.

We need volunteers from the current squad to run various training sessions (bombing, artillery), and to evaluate people who want to play (we have 2-3 people left after accepting Gifted and 10acious in addition to the current players, welcome chaps).

If you haven't already (and you have broadband), go to www.teamspeak.org. If you want to use it at any time to talk in game, it's up on www.atdot.at. If some of the clan members want an admin password, please let me know.

I think the best thing would be to have individual groups go off to seperate servers (which broadband users could host for 3-4 people) to practise things like flying and artillery, then come back together for an evaluation game.

Comments?

/me still trying to get in, but been having a few connection probs since I share my connection atm... played for a bit tonight, then hit 1000 ping and it all went wrong :(

Hopefully I can get a stable ping for thursday and try again :D

[RK[CLL]]

[Eskimo]

would the weekend not be better? you might cathch more people in?

Oh and on another note im making the long needed upgrade to ISDN, cos basically, 56k sucks and im tired of having to think 3 chess moves ahead... (you might get that joke) so ive allreaddy DLed TS and hopefully ill have ISDN before the end of the month.

its just to laggy playing the new games online, yesterday when i came on for 10 minutes i had a 1 on 1 with afty at one point, I had the advantage of firing first, i shot off most of my medics clip at afty and hit him possibly once or twice, its then lagged like ****e! seriously about 3 fps so i dived into a little whole and tried to heal but then afty ran at me with teh knife!!!! ahhhh im not going down like this i had to swap back to my gun with 5 shots left and somehow managed to get a couple of the shots to kill afty and i was getting 4 fps at this point in time. f**cking annoying, im sure if it had been smoother i would have had him with the first few shots cos it was fairly close range,...

[rant over]

lol and afty when you ran at meh with your knife i shouted out "OH F**K" and my mum told me off lol :)...

you got me in trouble :D !

[afty]

The blade is your daddy, but only on stationary targets.

I've had shedloads of knife kills, but never *ANY* on moving targets yet, it's far too hard to use.

Knife vs Pistol at 3 foot distance in a buiding, knife wins 90% of the time. But not in BF1942, grrr..

I'd love to practice some with artillery - problem is when I was last playing with it, once I was lined up on the planes at the allied airfield, repeated shots were not hugely accurate, sometimes landing a good few metres away from each other and subsequently missing the planes. Also the tank at the airfield is fairly tricky to hit, but I managed to fluke a shot onto the building roof which 'bounced' the tank into an open space. Still couldn't hit it particuarly well, it seems I keep getting inaccurate shots to judge my next one off and then the shots go wild again.

[afty]

Put the brakes on the destroyer.

But more seriously, the shots are slightly random, but not a great deal.

A few salvoes peppered around a target usually does the job despite the randomness.

afty, if you want to try artilliary, i would be more than happy to try scouting for you, just for practise, see if i can manage to spy things without gettin shot in the head, repeatedly.

I will be on the server virtually every night from about 11-1 trying to improve my (lack of) skills, PM me if theres any specific time you would like me to be on and ill see what i can do.
