I will be checking this out for sure!

Over the past 4 months the Storm of War server and website have undergone a number of important changes.

We are now ready to open the server back up to the Cliffs of Dover community. Firstly, please note that we have a new website and forums here; [url=www.stormofwar.org]www.stormofwar.org[/url] The old website is now going to be re-directed to the new URL. The server itself has undergone a large number of important changes too, including;
  • Improved Player Stats, including "pilot career" tracking
  • Improved Bomber Stats
  • Squadron v Squadron stats
  • New realism features and target types within the missions
  • Downloadable / printable mission pdf briefing files for all Missions with target photos and maps
  • Player controlled mission rotation
  • New RADAR and aircraft tracking systems (both in-game and on the website)
  • Friendly aircraft tracking system to assist bomber/fighter escorting
  • Missions that provide safe spawns for Bomber pilots
  • Luftwaffe Directional Beacons
  • AI aircraft with scaling features
  • And more...


To explain most of the changes we have made, please watch these two YouTube videos . Video one : http://youtu.be/_56JhIdbG7Q AND video two : http://youtu.be/WjvKC2SaGlw

We welcome all Cliffs of Dover players to the server and the new website, particularly those players who are members of online Squadrons. We would also love to welcome back players who have not played Cliffs of Dover for a while, and who might be looking for something new in the multi-player environment. A new campaign is also being planned. More news on this will follow in time. Salute, Storm of War .

Checked out the video. It sounds like the good old D.I.D. days of 2002 with the first game although back then you had to actually type out a report after each mission and send it in to admins, then the front would be moved this way or that. Also old 2001 IL-2 had no front markers so you had to be very mindful of the towns etc. that were yours and witch were theirs. You can remember your old pals from back then and I wish they all would have hung around. Lots of fun cheers

no mention of team fusion patches???...I was under the impression that this was now a standard for the il cod community?? So is it stock?

Yes, the server is set for CloD +TF patchs - that is standard for "99%" of CloD players. smile

Hope DiD functions as planned. Should not be further diluted down. The feature is unique amongst CloD servers.

DiD will not be relaxed in any way. We are still refining how a player's "career" responds to things like bailing-out (capture) and some other minor features - but all of this is intended to be as realistic as possible within the confines of the game's coding potential (which, incidentally is quite vast!)

In fact we have plans to consider more possibilities such as tying aircraft supply (or even fuel and ammunition supply) to airfields, squads or players.
