1-1 please. (I hope.)

I'd be interested to hear if you manage to make your joystick work again. I also use a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and I am looking into purchasing my old and outdated computer sooner or later. I really like my joystick and the control set-up I use makes my life very easy in Steel Beasts. It would be a shame to lose it.

Will take a tank.

Put me down as 50/50.

Low chances I will show up. I got work to do.

We had a player who crashed last night, I believe it to be Chrisreb, and it took him a solid 5 minutes and about 15 call-outs in the command net to get his units back. In Kanium we often hand out spare vehicles to players. Those spare vehicles aren’t necessarily handed out to players in the same platoon. Instead the lead vehicle might get handed to a player somewhere else in another TeamSpeak channel who might not even be listening to command net. Now if that person doesn’t realize that they received a vehicle, getting them back can be a bit of a hassle. Especially if it’s more than one vehicle. If I start out in say first platoon and drop that’s not a problem. But if my first tank gets, say immobilized, and I get a replacement tank, possibly from another company, things aren’t as straightforward anymore. Then the platoon leader of that vehicle might be in another platoon and in another TeamSpeak channel. With Kanium we often have replacement vehicles and hand them out when a player’s vehicle is destroyed or damaged. If I start out in A12 and that vehicle is out of commission for any number of reasons, I get a spare vehicle. Say E22. But there’s no guarantee that my platoon leader (who started out in A11) received E21. In fact, that vehicle being also a replacement vehicle, might have been handed to anyone in the game and my platoon leader might have been better than me and not gotten himself killed. Therefore he wouldn’t control the vehicle when I fall out of the game. If that player who does get control handed to them is new, or busy fighting or stressed out for other reasons or simply doesn’t get the call to check the map, it can take a while until I get control of E22 back. Alright apologies from me also then. I took that message with more ill meaning than it was written with.

You still don’t understand me. The issue isn’t what units the player had. The issue is who owns them *after the crash*. When you have 20 players and 3 different channels on TeamSpeak and 5 differen companies with replacement and reserves and what not it’s suddenly not so straightforward as you make it seem. Then it can happen that I get a vehicle because someone from a different platoon crashed. Especially newer player sometimes don’t know how to check and if the message needs to be relayed 5 times it just takes a while and is rather annoying and tedious. Yeah that’s also not the situation I am describing. What’s that supposed to mean? No need to get snarky about it. Especially not before understanding the issue.

I think you missunderstood me. It's not about who gets what in the start. It's when technical issues happen and we lose a player. The callsigns under that players control get assinged to other players. Sometimes they don't notice that. In some extreme cases they don't notice for a while. It would be a lot easier if we had a list that shows what player "owns" what units.

So today we had another case of a player who dropped because of internet connection and needed his units back when he rejoined. Everytime that happens it takes us a few minutes to figure out who owns his units, simply because not everyone is on the same channel and newer players sometimes don't know how to check. So a simply list, showing what player owns what unit, viewable during the game would neat.

Ah yes the Rosa for the tanks. Leftover from the cavallery isn't it?

Put me in with Sky4K please.

Those Australians appear to be good shots. That was about 6.7km. Maybe a bit less.

Will be there. Will take what needed. If possible an M1 but I'll take whatever.

Please put him in A14. I‘ll take A11.

Well I had hoped letting the loader finish his job would be easier but I understand that such a niche issue isn’t worth a massive fix.

I understand. Well thank you for the explanation.

I understand that but even when a crewman is already executing a task that I ordered? Is it not poss to do something about that?

I had an issue today where I wanted to reload a different type of round (from SABOTto HESH). So I jumped into my commanders seat and initiated the reload. When I switched back to the gunner, the loader stopped reloading and kept the SABOT inside the breach. This is rather annoying. I switched back, did the reload again and waited for my loader to finish. As soon as he did, my AI gunner wasted the HESH on a single infantrymen while there were about 15 of them just a 100m next to the single man. (It wasn't an ATGM team either. Just a normal infantrymen.) This is rather annoying. When I switch to the commander's seat and reload a new round, I really expect it to reload without me having to stay in the spot the entire time.

Sky will also honor us. Please put ud in the same platoon.

Will be taking a tank.

Will probably be there but not 100% certain yet. Should I show up, I will take whatever is left, preferably tank but I will see.

Being a gunner would be option. I can do both, German and English tank commander so you‘d be welcome to join in my tank. Nike-Ajax might advice you to some setting up stuff for Teamspeak etc. He will let you know what to do once he reads your comment.

I should be home from service on time but I am not certain. So please put me down as a maybe.

Will take a tank.
