Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear FrontLine ! Thanks for having us, thanks for present and Cheers to you guys! ваше здоровье! It is somehow easier to survive, Monday to Friday with you guys. I can enjoy my hour in the sky of Frontline with my son and my mates, after a day of work. I thank you for that.

Oh I completely understand. It's a complicated even to explain. There is no rush, and thanks for answering so fast. Just short summary, because it's such a mess... 5355 - mission where I my status "missing" is unexpüected (I got a gunner on that mission if it helps) 5358 - mission completely missing in my stats , where I lost connection / or got kicked from unknown reason. I am visible however on 5358 mission page: https://il2-fl.ru/en/stats/missions/5358

I'm totally lost. Honestly. There was one mission where I did nothing - 16:43 on my stats. On your page there is a different time 22:43, but mission number is the same. 5355. I did 2 missions: one in 5355 - I did nothing there. I scored nothing, and did no damage to my vehicle. and another mission on 5358 - where I killed 8 ground targets. also in tank. There I got kicked for no reason. ( Vehicle was not damaged, not repaired, not crashed into a tree or building). I stopped vehicle to look at the map and lost connection with server / or got kicked.

also - I do not have those mission in my stats at all.

I took no damage. please track carefully my route. I was kicked when vehicle was stationary. I looked at the map, and after that i got kicked for no clear reason. I wasn't shot, I didn't hit anything.

so all in all there is a problem with 2 missions. - First, that went uneventful just sitting in Tank waiting in ambush. -> for that mission I got "missing" - Second -> where I rode a tank and made a successful ride on enemy Possition, but lost connection and there's no trace about that mission in my stats.

edit: It's even more mysterious. the mission I found in statistics https://il2-fl.ru/en/stats/sortie/248905/1?gamerId=3156&nickname=%3DCrow%3DKermit7heFrog&tab=flight-log looks strange. Status missing, and it was a mission I spend uneventful. Literally nothing happened. I didn't crossed the border or anything like that. Also I finished a mission quite norma -> by pressing "finish mission". In spite of that I am somehow missing But now it's even more strange. I just now in that mission rode a tank: https://il2-fl.ru/en/stats/missions/5358 Here I am clearly visible in mission. I hit even some targets. Good for me, but There is no trace of these mission in my statistics, also I lost connection (got kicked?) after 2 hours of riding a tank. It looks like terrible mess. My best regards.

https://il2-fl.ru/en/stats/sortie/248905/1?gamerId=3156&nickname=%3DCrow%3DKermit7heFrog&tab=statistics I suspect I lost connection or was kicked somehow during a mission. I was driving a tank, and was disengaging after successful raid. Nobody shoot me. I entered map and possibly too quick bak into a tank. Game froze and then i got Disconnected. What's worse, I got massive penalty after that. Spending 2 hours in tank and finishing like that is pretty disourageing. Can you change that? With my best regards. Kermit

Serious connection problems whole day. Several Players same problem. We can't pass further than "mission download" screen. My best regards Kermit

Sounds very interesting. Especially that one: " Reward for defenders. Repelling an attack on a main target now earns team points (15 points each) — target defense is finally rewarded as it deserves. Fixed attack-repulsion bonus awarding. Previously, the bonus could go to the wrong players (for example, those destroying defenders instead of attackers). Now the reward goes exactly to those who repelled the attack on the main target (on the defense)." How do you decide if plane I attacked was a repulsion of attack or not? Is there any proximity to target important?

Congratulations Everyone!

"The reward no longer counts toward group points and is not distributed among players in the group." No no noooooooo....... How can we share points now? Every success is a result of a group effort. Points shall be still shared in group. How can we have it back?

As I mentioned on another topic; balance shouldn't be a main priority in such case. In every PvP online campaign balance spoils the immersion and makes whole project dead. I switch sides on frontline repeatedly. Once German and on the other occasion Russian. The more I play the more I think, that result depends on how you play, not what you fly. I hunted Pe-2's as Bf-109 Pilot and I hunted He-111 as MiG-3 Pilot. I flew Bombing missions on He-111 and on IL-2 on the other side (Pe-2 isn't bad or useless, it's just I love to fly that legendary plane) on all sorts of missions. For me it's like playing a game of chess after "big exchange". You have one sort of figures and other side has others. In the end it all depends on how you use your advantages. I mean... Neither He-111 nor Pe-2 fight alone. They both are a part of the system. He-111 alone is easy prey. Pe-2 - same situation. If you play the game like that you make a mistake. Aerial warfare and aerial warfare simulation games are TEAM GAMES. If you try to play football alone without support of your team, you'll lose. In "Frontline" campaign it's the same. A team composed out of Pe-2 and La-5 is just as dangerous and effective as team of He-111 and Bf-109. They are not the same, and they shouldn't be. They both have their weak and strong points. A different ones. And that makes it all ... fun. Balance it all, and you'll ruin immersion, you spoil the fun, and ... kill the game. Don't try to adjust the rules to your point of view. Adjust your tactic.

Trying to maintain balance planeset ruins every PvP Campaign IMO. Best thing about Frontline is, that planeset seem to recreate real plane amount on Eastern front... Maybe with few exceptions , like Me262, which never appeared there. Russian planes fighters are bit worse (not very much though) but they're cheaper to buy. Bf-109G2 is more expensive than G6 because the latter one was produced in much bigger number. I love it. On the other hand attack planes of VVS and bombers seem to offer much bigger survival chances. Pe-2 and IL-2 which I personally prefer are better than Ju-87 and Ju-88 duo. And it's alright. If I get tired of one side I play another on next campaign. And I think it's mentally healthy. Sticking to one side only causes... Let's call it... "social difficulties". PS. Playing blue side is different. Many players Including myself try to make some decent streak. Nothing wrong about it, but it's unfair if later on after battle like last Odessa '44 where blue side was represented by one STG flying mostly Bf-109 / FW-190 and JG flying mostly FW-190D9 no ground progress was made. Hard to expect such thing if you're just dogfighting. Nothing wrong about it, but ... just be honest.
