4YA Project Overlord WW2 Server BEGINNER'S GUIDE | DCS 

Thank you for your guides to servers and tutorials. I'm returning to DCS after a few years absent. Some servers have really upped their game - however a bit more complex than the old days. These really help to get started on them. I will say the absence of D9 and inclusion of K4 seems a bit silly to me. With such a narrow selection of warbirds in DCS - all generally representative of late war - bias might be assumed. If you desire historical “fine tuning” to narrow windows in time - the plane set isn’t expansive enough yet. Not Il2

Prepare for the usual newby experience: Take Off Roam around Find nobody Die suddenly and unexpected XD

thank you so much for this guide......used to ECW guide to get into that server and just wanted to start playing project overlord perfect timing.

Thankyou for this, i recently got into dcs and decided to buy my first warbird. This server has been great to test my metal and has been loads of fun.

I love this server. Fyling there almost every day, mostly on german side.

It’s a good server and well popular, but just like the time period that the mission is set in, it’s not particularly much fun to fly on the German side. I totally get and understand the attempt at historical accuracy, however this accuracy really detracts from fun game play, if like me you always as a moral thing, always join the side with the fewest players. So you’re always massively outnumbered on red, and I know that the Dora wasn’t available then and MW50 was hard to get hold of in reality, but for the sake of quality of life, allowing unlimited MW50 and the Dora would draw more people to the red faction

Project Overloard is my favorite server lately. I hope this brings some more players. Warbirds in dcs are a niche segment of a niche game. I know they aren't for everyone. I do think if more people see videos, more will give it a try. Itl be good for server population.

wow 3:45 very nice use of the Jug's durability lol

Its so fun!!!

Thank you!

Hi and many thanks for the video, very helpful. Pretty new to the 4YA server and to DCS multiplayer in general. I mostly fly the Mustang, but I can't get the rearming panel to work properly. It works ok for fuel, but if I wanna load rockets, it says 'rearming complete' but I don't have any rockets loaded. Plus the fact that you don't have external view to visually check, I found myself several times trying to launch non existing rockets on trucks. Any hint on what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks in advance 👍

I have the thunderbolt and the dora. It's quite annoying to take our the Dora. I feel bullied. Bf 109 k4 was even introduced after the dora and was built in even lesser numbers. 😡

For the P-47 i am missing an Rocket-Tutorial included to the module... Maybe you can do one? :)

In the video you say you drop a link to the stats website but I cant find it in the description. Can you post thst link here?

Why did you leave out the Mosquito?

Oh my wallet

I got into DCS because of the WWII warbirds. Alas, the 4YA implementation is as un-fun as flying as you can get. Exactly, as you mention, the asymmetry is such that, if you fly axis, you are much further away… instead of a 5 minute jump from your airfield you need to fly 15 or 20 minutes just to get into action, with no MW50 on the 109, which makes it un matched against the Allied airframes. So, flying Axis is frustrating, to say the least. “So, fly Ally!º, yeah, but since it’s so uneven, and no one wants to fly Axis, then you have very little to do. So, in this case, the decision to favor Historic Authenticity is, there’s no other adjective for it, idiotic (well, moronic would fit also). It’s clear that in real life the Axis lost, they were outnumbered, outmaneuvered, outspeced. All true. That makes for a great history lesson. It does not make for an interesting setup for a competitive match. If you know you ARE going to lose, no matter what, playing the game is half as fun. Imagine a FIFA game based on historic results, where the match you play, no matter what, will have the historic winner winning. Do you think the game would sell a lot of copies? And I guess I am not alone with this feeling, because, from having around 30 to 50 online players, you now usually see 2 or 3 in the 4YA server. And since it’s the most “recognized” server around, the entire WWII scenario hast all but disappeared from the DCS radar. It’s a pity. A balanced game, with equally capable sides, as close as historic as possible but keeping that balance, would have been a much better approach, and would see dozens of players every day. I have tried to the death to reason with them, to no avail. It’s a shame.

Please close the cowling flaps of the P-47 while in combat 🤣

And mw50 for every german plane because ego stats > history 😆

WRONG! ...... SRS is REQUIRED!! .... I repeat REQUIRED .....to use on Project Overlord. If you want to live you better use it ...or you WILL be shot down as an enemy for not answering your radio.......by me .............. and others. ... And no one will feel sorry for you! You WILL get SRS and you WILL declare your intentions when taking off and before landings. SRS is REQUIRED ... it says so on the server rules. .. Use it!
