Or set a date for our own TWB operation, we could invite other groups if need be..

If you mean a TWB led operation great.

If you mean a private TWB operation well, it's obvious who has the authority to run the server and do that but you will never grow the player base with private events.

I also have been checking the server and never find anyone online so I am a bit let down but maybe Ill get around to setting upt he stick for War Thunder :/

Why isn't there a weekly Wednesday night fight event on TEN where the server is given a fresh reset at a specific time and everyone is encouraged to brawl?

Don't know?

Well I don't either, let's ask those guys why they aren't breaking up everyone's work week.

Aborted was recording one from when he, Hooves, myself, and one other person level bombed from like 6.5 k. Are you talking about that one?

Thanks for clarifying who should be on my hitlist.

Nope.  I know it exists so someone is holding it hostage.  When I find this person they better have the video in hand or Im going to be handing out teabags.

To start off with, I have a suggestion that you could create a suggestion forum or edit the title of the Frontline one to say its not just for development its for development and suggestions :P

Ok hard mode in a sim game, really? Yes really, I already spoke to Aborted about this but give me a minute to pitch this idea but not like how Bubba pitches, I'll be a little more subtle here because it always hurts when Bubba is doing the pitching.

Aborted specifically said that the amount of tanks for the Germans were increased since TWB often ends up piling into the allied team and needs more of a challenge. Now I know what you are thinking, those two-bit hacks in TWB are going to make it harder for themselves? I know I know, I even have to fly a Stuka just to keep things competitive with these guys but hear me out.

There should be hidden triggers in the map for both sides to create an action which makes the mission more difficult. For example, a trigger if you land at a specific airfield 50-60km east of Lenink, or destroy a truck along a river way the hell out of the way, a message comes across the screen that says Panzer Corps IX (whatever it is) reinforcements have arrived. You could add XXX number of tanks or trucks to the battlefield at that time.

Here's the point of this, when the server is just a bunch of pubs playing the difficulty is balanced and when TWB joins up if they want to make it harder on themselves for a bit of balance they can activate the hidden trigger to change the difficulty but players on the server will not know any different. It will be a change in difficulty but players will only see the message keeping the simulation feel alive.

The locations and actions of all of the hidden triggers would simply be confidential information posted on whatever internal forums TWB uses that way public players will either not know where they are or never be able to find it.

Obviously the communists were used as an example here but the Germans would also be able to have the same thing. Also there could be multiple hidden triggers at different grids with different consequences for activating each. This would not only allow a harder difficulty but the option to have varying levels of it or triggers that make the mission more interesting than simply spawning more tanks each time.

So in short to sum this up the additions if this idea is implemented are:
Scaling difficulty to help balance out the teams if TWB joins up together on one side
Ability to add variety in triggers (such as a hidden depot deep in German territory that comes up as a new objective or tank reinforcements)
A better experience for pubbies who may feel outnumbered via the imbalance of familiar pilots with a history vs unfamiliar pilots
- and last of all an added workload for Aborted, because he obviously doesn't do enough and someone has to put his ass to the fire.
