and "H-11 keypad 1" should be said ...
"Hotel one-one reference one"
but who's complaining?
DNEPROPETROVSK is pronounced Neep-pro-pet-whatever
it's chief exports are steel and eager women
and is spelled any of thirty-three ways depending on which way the Dniepr is flowing that week.
The Dniepr river in turn can be spelled any of a dozen ways
and come to think of it ...
pronounced that many too
so it really doesn't matter HOW you pronounce ANYTHING in Russian
cuz no one actually knows.
So stop bring all this stuff up!
geez!

That will be hard Napier. That information is not captured in log files, but is written to the debriefings only. I can obtain the information from the Pilot Log in DCG. I'll see what I can do mate. Also, I would suggest rank too then?:FI:napier wrote:Also, im going to put awards on the stats page. I know quite a few ppl got some, so pls let me know what they were and the date. Maybe tact can dig up that info?
S!
Be back in a few.

Ok get off my back man - now I have 2 wives!
Everyone is at the base rank of Mladshiy Leitenant except for the following:
TacticalS! and Napier have gained a Leitenant ranking.
-
With regards to awards note the following:
Sixxpak! - Order of the Red Banner, Order of the Red Star and Hero of the Soviet Union
Ardmore - Order of the Red Banner
SnoopBaron - Order of the Red Banner and Order of the Red Star
Heloego - Order of the Red Banner
TacticalS! - Order of the Red Banner, Order of the Red Star and Hero of the Soviet Union
Napier - Order of the Red Banner and Order of the Red Star
-
Can't accurately tell you when these promotions and awards occurred. Would that be the "Kursk" date or our time? I could take an educated guess in our time, but maybe this isn't important?
Could we include graphics of the awards? If so I'll post them for you to grab (and add additional ones when needed).
TactS!

Ok I have the awards posted Napier.
Could you design the page so that a picture of what awads folks have received to date are next to their name please? Thinking of this being underneath the main table. I believe this would be better then tracking when they received their medal.
Also, don't forget to re-calculate the K/D ratios mate - mine is now 7.5!

I really like the way you did the awards mate.:FI:napier wrote:thanks tact,
all updated i believe, hows it look?
Couple of things -
(a) You say Awards and Promotions but there are no promotions mentioned. You and I should be listed.
(b) To be consistent I would drop the prefix ":FI:" in the Awards table and list the folks in alpha order (to avoid arguments from these Rogues .
(c) "SixxPak!" still misspelled in the main table as "SixxPak"?
(d) And, finally, do you still have the first Kursk map? I thought we were going to post all of them so we could get a feel for the progression of the conflict? I would make them small enough so two could fit side-by-side. If not that's not a big issue.
(e) I think it would be helpful to put another solid line across the page in order to separate this campaign from Normandy - maybe even some spacing Nap?
Look forward to these improvements. The page is looking good Napier!
Oh what about a reprimand section. I know we joked about it but maybe this would be cool. I would say just an alpha list of those pilots, and, well, as we all know there's only 1 to date - Heloego .
-------------
In case you were wondering Genosse, the missions you were involved with had no action and have not be included. In that last one you left early as I suspect you were real tired mate. Next time we'll get some awesome stats from you!
