Rolling Thunder 16 - Event - Please read topic then vote

[Lumituisku]

I have seen some member's from Dogs of war VU have shown some interest towards Rolling Thunder 16
So Yesterday before Dow mission I asked:

What would people think if we "Dogs of war" would instead of DOW mission participate on Rolling Thunder 16 event as VU.

I was advised to make a poll that we would see what members think and rise up discussion of this question of my.
Also. This would likely eventually become true if clear majority of those who play DOW missions will agree, and if no major negative questions are brought up.


In case if majority support this idea, then we will discus about it more.




What is Rolling Thunder 16



Gibson on Steelbeast.com

Overview
 
For those unfamiliar / recent arrivals. "Rolling Thunder" is an annual event which comprises of three or four missions played back to back in one sitting with a common theme. To date it has alternated between a European theme and an Australian one.
 
You do not need to attend all the missions.
 
You can attend the first and then say the 3rd. You need to be aware though that mission start timings tend to be flexible (post briefings, people dropping, etc.) so if you can stay for the duration you wont turn up halfway through a mission or whatever.
 
We have selected 1800 GMT on a Saturday as the least worse time for most people. Europeans can play into Saturday night, we start at 0400 (get up at approx 0200, setup, etc.) and play into Sunday.
 
To an extent it complements PzBtl 911's "Long Night of Tanks" as they have a similar approach and are offset through the year.
 
The downside of June is that we tend to coincide with the SB upgrade cycle. Currently the missions are built in 3.028 and we are planning on using 3.028 (since everyone has that, we know the graphic limitations, we have the server executable, etc.). If 4.x comes out say 2 weeks prior to the event we may consider migrating to 4.x but it depends on take up rate, possible performance issues, etc.

To add to lumi. We are looking for your thoughts on participating in some of these large events, and other VU events. If they are on the same day, that if there is enough support for it, that missions like this would replace the normal DOW mission for that day.

The event should not be an esims directed/sanctioned event, due to our core values as a group, and that we do not believe we should compromise on them by attending esims events as a VU.

I personally think it is a good idea to open up or group to different experiences, and to take part in something at a larger level. Maybe one day or group will be that larger level all on its own.

Please give us your thoughts on your interest, concerns, questions, and your ideas with this.

Thank you.

As long as this doesn't interfere with our Team Iron campaign mission, then I was planning to attend this Rolling Thunder series.  I like these kinds of missions every now and then (especially when I'm in a position to be able to attend them). I had a lot of fun at the last Long Night of Tanks that I was able to attend. I am pretty sure that Gibson is fine with a VU playing together, as long as it doesn't leave the rest of the units in the mission under-staffed.

I will be attending and have no issues with it.
