Dynamic Campaign System
  powerful, fast and stable DCS engine in Rust

  Fowl Engine is a Rust-powered persistent war for DCS — the same strategic depth you want from a campaign, with the stability and persistence you expect from a serious multiplayer server.

  Most DCS campaigns rely heavily on complex Lua scripting engines. They work well enough—until the dynamic campaign runs for days, player counts spike, and something quietly breaks under the hood. Fowl Engine is built differently.

  The heavy lifting is handled in Rust—a modern, compiled language engineered from the ground up for absolute reliability and raw speed. You don't need to be a programmer to appreciate the tech; you’ll feel it in how the server performs.Where standard Lua scripts inevitably tangle into a fragile web of global tables, timers, and hidden dependencies, the Fowl Engine maintains the entire campaign state within a strictly typed, persistent architecture. Logistics, slot management, player lives, queues, and objectives no longer rely on the hope that a script doesn't crash mid-session; instead, they run seamlessly inside a native DLL designed for grueling, multi-day operations. Furthermore, Rust's compiler eliminates an entire class of bugs before the mission even boots—catching type mismatches, invalid states, and typos that interpreted Lua would only expose at runtime, usually right in the middle of a massive weekend event. When the server is packed on a Saturday night, the difference isn't just a marketing claim—it means zero silent failures, no more random "why did spawning stop?" bugs, and rock-solid predictability.

  In DCS, Lua is single-threaded and interpreted, meaning all script logic fights for the exact same CPU time slice as the core mission. Under heavy load, this translates directly to bloated server ticks, delayed event triggers, and micro-stutters exactly when player activity peaks. Fowl operates as a compiled, native DLL. Because it bypasses runtime interpretation, the exact same campaign logic executes over 100 times faster. Crucially, it can offload intensive computations across multiple CPU cores, keeping the main DCS thread highly responsive. Memory management is equally vital: instead of uncontrolled Lua table bloat and unpredictable garbage-collection spikes, Rust enforces strict allocation control. This results in stable, predictable RAM usage over long server uptimes and eliminates those mysterious, mid-session frame-rate drops.

  Fowl is engineered for what a multiplayer dynamic campaign actually demands: compile-time bug prevention before it affects players, native DLL velocities, unyielding performance under load, multi-core processing that escapes the single-thread bottleneck, and an architecture that scales with player count and session length—not against them. You don't need to understand Rust. You will feel it in the snappiness of the server, the stability across days of continuous uptime, and a campaign that stays lightning-fast even when the map is entirely full.

Server Rules
  These server rules apply to all of our DCS game servers. If you encounter someone who repeatedly violates them, please send a Discord DM to Robo76 with evidence. Do not discuss rule violations in public channels.

1) Combined Arms Operations

  Control units only in first person through Combined Arms or via the relevant -action move command. Any actions designed to disrupt server mechanics are forbidden.

2) Exploit & Bug Policy

  Do not abuse any exploits or bugs, whether related to the server or DCS itself. If you find a bug, post it in the #bugs or #development channel. Continuous use of an obvious exploit before a fix will lead to a retroactive ban.

3) Friendly Fire & Teamkilling

  Do not teamkill deliberately. Accidental teamkills happen and will not be punished, but we will ban pilots who deliberately or continuously kill friendlies. Always identify your target via IFF or SRS before engaging. Cease fire immediately if you hit a friendly or get warned in the game chat.

4) Airfield Etiquette

  No taxiway or apron takeoffs. Runways are there for a reason. Saving 15 seconds is not worth risking a collision with taxiing pilots or AI aircraft.

5) Multi-Accounting Policy

  We do not allow more than one account per person on The Attrition to prevent system exploits. Using multiple accounts will lead to a permanent ban. Second DCS client for map/intel while flying is multi-accounting / exploit.

  Playing from the same household or LAN is allowed if each person uses their own DCS account and Discord link. Sharing a public IP by itself is not a violation.

6) Combat Denial

  If your aircraft is undamaged and you have fuel, do not eject just to deny your opponent points for a kill. The server will issue an automatic penalty for doing so.

7) No In-Game Self-Promotion

  Do not use the in-game chat to promote, link, or advertise your own social media, streams, Discord channels, or other DCS multiplayer servers.

8) Intentional Ramming

  Intentional ramming of aircraft, ground vehicles, or structures is forbidden and may result in a ban.

Streaming Rules
  We welcome streamers and love seeing you share your gameplay. However, to keep matches fair and prevent tactical data leaks, you must follow these two rules:

1) Streaming GCI & F10 Map

  If you stream your GCI gameplay—whether using the F10 map or other tactical tools—you must set a 10-minute stream delay.

• This prevents active pilots from using your stream for live intel.
• This delay does not apply to standard pilot gameplay streams.
•   You can still check the GCI slot before your sortie to get situational awareness, but streaming the F10 map for an extended period requires the 10-minute delay.

2) Raw Map & Comms Streaming

  Do not stream only the F10 map or radio comms without any personal interaction or commentary (for example, to provide a live tactical feed to your squadron or team).

Code of Conduct

• Don't be a jerk or malicious.
• Don't try to break the spirit of the server.
• Don't be racist, sexist, or xenophobic.
• Don't jam comms.
• Don't re-slot to avoid death.
• Don't waste staff time.

Campaign Administration

  If one coalition gains clear dominance, the winning team is expected to push and finish the campaign. If the winning coalition shows no meaningful offensive activity (for example no ground pushes or airbase assaults) for 72 consecutive hours, server administration may end the campaign early.

  When running on a mission server, its engine generates an interactive HTML campaign map that updates automatically.
(If there are players connected to the server, the map is refreshed every 90 seconds; if the server is empty, it is refreshed every 60 minutes.)

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

  The "ATTRITION" guide is under active development and is continuously updated. Information is subject to change as development moves quickly and bugs are patched. This draft has not been proofread; please excuse any typos or phrasing errors.

last edit: September 18, 2026

  Are you new to the server, learning how the battlefield flows, or unsure where to start? Use these fundamental strategies:

1. The Campaign Goal: Win the campaign by destroying all enemy bases and aircraft carriers. Capitalize on windows when no opposing players are online to block your progress. If enemies do join, shift your focus to the opposite side of the map; they cannot defend every sector simultaneously. Opponents will be forced to choose between a stalemate or splitting up to secure their own sectors. When heavy fighting stalls the map for hours, you will appreciate taking a quiet slot or working with a small group of allies to capture bases easier.

2. Target Low-Defense Logistics: Begin by striking faintly defended logistical outposts (LOG FOBs or standard FOBs). Focus on neutralizing all defensive and logistical structures; zeroing them out drops the base into a neutral state, stripping ownership from the enemy. Even if you cannot immediately deploy capture troops, neutralizing the sector forces the enemy to spend time recapturing it without earning any offensive points.

3. Suppressing Enemy Repairs: As long as an enemy base remains unthreatened, active logistics units will repair any destroyed units there, with their repair speed scaling directly with their Logistics value. However, deploying a ground unit within 10 km of the base triggers a threatened state, drastically slowing down these repairs. This gives you a larger window for follow-up attacks and prevents the rapid restoration of destroyed defenses.

4. Maintain Safe Altitude over Unexplored Sectors: When entering unreconned territory, maintain a radar altitude of at least 8 km (approx. 26,000 ft) to stay clear of hidden, secretly deployed low-altitude ground threats. At this altitude, your primary focus is checking for long-range SAM tracks or incoming enemy interceptors. If you are operating a helicopter without scout intel, avoid taking the most direct line to an enemy base. Experienced opponents place ambush assets along obvious ingress routes to catch impatient pilots.

5. Disrupt Production Zones: Target industrial factories in enemy production zones. At the start of a campaign, these areas are undefended unless opposing players manually purchase and deploy security units. Every destroyed factory requires several hours of real-time repairs. If the enemy leaves them broken, the automatic logistical flow of weapons, pods, and fuel to their connected Logistics HUB warehouses drops significantly. Destroying all production assets completely halts the generation of new equipment, forcing the enemy to rely solely on whatever remaining supplies and airframes are left in local warehouses.

6. Avoid Careless Attrition: Flying blindly into active enemy air defenses yields quick deaths. Furthermore, if you are shot down by a player or an asset purchased by the enemy team, you hand them a 30-point reward, allowing them to fund even more defenses.

7. Progress from Small to Large Targets: Only after you have mastered attacking and capturing minor outposts should you move on to Road FOBs and major Air Bases. Learn the engagement envelopes of specific air defense systems to counter them with correct tactics and weapon loadouts.

8. The Survival Workflow (SEAD/DEAD): Eliminate enemy air defenses systematically based on threat range and danger level. First, neutralize long-range SAM radars using anti-radiation missiles (SEAD). Next, remain at a safe altitude and utilize GBU precision-guided bombs to destroy medium-range SAM launchers (DEAD). Before descending into low-to-medium altitude blocks, utilize a JTAC drone to scan and tag threats. The drone automatically flags targets starting with the highest threat priority, saving you from searching visually and overlooking a deadly asset.

9. The Cleanup Phase: Once a base’s integrated air defense network is completely down, close in to destroy remaining generic ground units and logistical structures. This phase is generally safe, though certain hardened bunkers feature high damage resistance. Practice using optimal fuse settings and heavy ordnance in the mission editor to handle them efficiently.

10. Component Elimination: If you destroy a long-range SAM radar that is explicitly owned by an enemy player, make a concerted effort to wipe out its secondary launcher components as well. If components survive, the owner can repair the radar array at half price—destroying everything denies them this economic discount.

11. Target Early Warning Radars (EWR): When a ground-based EWR asset is exposed on the map, prioritize its destruction. Blinding the enemy's long-range radar track strips them of situational awareness in that sector and forces them to redirect resources to replace it.

12. Coordinate with Team Elements: Coordinate closely with your coalition teammates to focus your combined sorties onto a single base. Splitting your forces across multiple targets usually results in superficial damage; the bases will automatically repair over time, forcing your team to start over from scratch.

13. Logistics Win Wars: Never underestimate the impact of helicopter and transport aircraft logistics flights. Strategic supply runs often provide the coalition with a decisive edge. Use transport assets to deploy EWR radar networks, tactical SAM sites, and AAA rings in optimal choke points. Utilize Combined Arms to direct ground assault columns, initiate artillery barrages, and call in AI close air support (CAS).

14. Review and Adapt: The only path to mastery is perseverance, critical analysis, and tactical experimentation. Joining forces with veteran server regulars will accelerate your learning curve significantly. Always audit your Tacview files after a loss. Often, what you think killed you was merely a distraction from the actual threat you overlooked.

15. Beyond the Basics: These are just basic rules of thumb to get you started. Over time, you’ll find that when facing experienced players, some of these rules fly out the window. But by then, you’ll have the experience to adapt without them. That’s when the real tactical and strategic mind games begin!

  The radio frequencies are tailored specifically for the Caucasus map. To avoid interfering with "Flaming Cliffs" modules, they do not overlap with any active airport ATC frequencies. Additionally, all airframes included in the mission have these frequencies pre-configured into their radio presets, and all relevant AI flight units will transmit on these channels. While these settings are optimized to support as many aircraft within each coalition as possible, some exceptions exist—particularly for Western airframes operated by the Red coalition.

  Just like in real life, Eastern and Western air forces utilize distinct frequency bands based on their hardware limitations. Consequently, requests for frequency modifications will not be accepted. Changing a frequency to accommodate a single aircraft would break communication compatibility for the rest of the coalition's fleet.

  Each aircraft is assigned a category such as standard, ground attack, interceptor, recon, logistics and combined arms. Once slotted, one life is deducted from the selected airframe category. This life can only be returned once you land at a friendly base. If you do not return this life a 6 hour timer will begin, at the end of the 6 hour timer your lives will be restored for the specific category. You can use the chat command -lives in chat to get info on when your lives will restore.

⚠️ After landing at a base, wait for the confirmation message stating that you can safely unslot. This will appear shortly after you come to a complete stop on the ground. If you unslot earlier, you will lose your current airframe life!

📌 NOTE: Respawn timers are tracked individually per pilot and per life type, rather than on a global scale. Each life-type cooldown runs independently and begins the exact moment a life of that specific category is expended. If you are airborne when the server restarts, your current life will not be deducted.

COMING SOON: This feature is unavailable in the current Beta and will be added in a future updates.

  At the end of the list are the downed pilots of the player currently active in the campaign. On the F10 map, they are marked with a green icon and a label showing the player's name and life class. If a downed pilot is rescued by a CSAR mission and transported back to a coalition base, that life is returned to the player and points are awarded. When a life class is reset, all of that player's downed pilots from the same class are removed from the map.

_____________________________________________________________________

  Every action costs points. Luckily, you can earn more by doing almost anything—from destroying ground and air targets to capturing bases and hauling supplies. Type -balance in Allied chat to check your current stash. If multiple players take down a target, the point reward is split evenly among them.

📌 NOTE: Notifications during the mission will show the points you earn for destroying targets. However, these kill points only hit your account once you land at a coalition airbase. Points for any other actions are credited instantly.

Objective Points

  Players can contribute directly to a shared pool of points tied to specific objectives. To donate, simply use the chat command. Once pooled, these points become a public resource for the entire coalition. When deploying a crate, the system can split the cost between your personal balance and the points stored at the objective where the crate was originally loaded.

Contributing to the pool

Use the transfer command with the objective: prefix:

(for example)

-transfer 200 objective:Sochi

This moves 200 of your personal points into Sochi's reserve.

How costs are split at unpack time

  Every crate records the objective it was loaded from (the origin objective). When you unpack, the engine verifies that your personal balance plus the origin objective's pool together cover the deployable cost. Your own points are always spent first; the objective pool covers whatever remains.

Rules to keep in mind

  • No range limit. Crates can be flown anywhere on the map — the origin objective still contributes its points at unpack, regardless of distance.

• Proximity restrictions. Some servers block unpacking within a set distance of friendly objectives. This is a placement rule only and has no bearing on how the cost is calculated.

• Logistics repairs. On servers that charge for repairs, objective points are drawn against repair costs using the same logic.

⚠️ Capture transfers the pool. If the origin objective is captured, its accumulated points pass to the new owner. The enemy coalition can then draw on them for their own deployments. If the pool is simply empty, you cover the full cost from your personal balance.

Periodic award

  We know that when players stack one team, people who want to play for the opposing side often avoid joining because fighting against a massive numbers advantage feels pointless. We choose not to force players away from their preferred faction—balance is handled through points, not join limits.

  That is why the "Periodic Award Balancing" system was introduced in Fowl Engine 2.0. This system rewards players for joining the weaker team. Thanks to passive award balancing, you will have more resources available for defense, so you don't have to wait for more teammates to log on. The amount of balancing points is recalculated at the start of each interval based on the current number of online players.

• If your team has fewer players online, you will earn more points per tick.

• If your team has more players online, you still receive the standard amount—you are not penalized.

• If the opposing team has no players online, no one receives passive points for that interval (no fight, no free income).

• When receiving a boosted payout, the system message will display: "periodic award (balancing)".

📌 NOTE: The periodic award is only given to players who are currently airborne (flying an aircraft or helicopter)!

Examples of the base passive award (5 points per 10 minute tick):

  20 Red vs 10 Blue online

Red players get the standard 5. Blue players get 10 (balancing boost).

  20 Red vs 5 Blue online

Red players get the standard 5. Blue players get 20 (balancing boost).

  2 Red vs 10 Blue online

  Red players get 25 (balancing boost). Blue players get the standard 5.

  1 Red vs 20 Blue online

  The lone Red player gets 100 (balancing boost). Blue players get the standard 5.

  0 Red vs 10 Blue online

Blue players receive nothing for that tick—no system message, no passive points.

  5 Red vs 0 Blue online

Red players receive nothing for that tick—no system message, no passive points.

📌 NOTE: Only strategic, long-range SAM sites tied to mission objectives are marked on the map. Player-deployed SAMs may be active in other areas!

  Objectives are military bases that must be destroyed or captured to win the campaign. Land bases come in several types based on size and purpose. Naval objectives are aircraft carriers that have military units that can neutralize and occupy enemy targets. Although aircraft carriers cannot be occupied (they cannot change ownership), they must also be destroyed to win the campaign. All of the listed objectives are distinguished on the F10 map by a colored background in their name.

  (There are also industrial zones on the map, which have their names written with a white background because they are not objectives (they cannot change ownership / cannot be occupied), and do not need to be destroyed to win the campaign.)

  An example showing the objectives of the red and blue coalitions. Industrial zones are not objectives, which is why their names have a white background.

📌 NOTE: Just as you cannot view the contents of enemy warehouses, enemy objectives will not display their Supply and Fuel values ​​in their data. Similarly, their Points and Repair indicators are not visible. All information is only available for objectives of the player's coalition.

💡 TIP: If you are using a higher screen resolution and the infobar labels are small and unreadable, you can try setting a higher GUI magnification in DCS. However, experiment with the magnification value, as it may affect the overall smoothness of 3D rendering / FPS (some combinations of screen resolutions vs. GUI multipliers do not give "integer results" and are therefore more computationally demanding).

  With the ability to place units on bases comes the need to limit when you can place them, so that units don't essentially appear underneath enemies. This feature also allows players to have a visual in-game indication of which bases are under threat. The threat mechanic addresses this issue by adding a state in which bases are "threatened", represented on the F10 map by a yellow circle around the base.

  The threat state is activated if there is an enemy ground unit within 10 km of the center of the base, or an enemy aircraft or helicopter is approaching the base. The faster enemy air units approach the base, the sooner/further the threat state is activated. A base is no longer under threat if there are no enemy units within range for a campaign-defined period of time (5 minutes).

You can find the threat timeout value in the Live campaign map in the bottom bar.

While the base is threatened:

• No air AI units can be sent from it (they will take off from the nearest suitable neighboring base that is not in threaten)

• Deployable units from crates can be unpacked outside the yellow circle, i.e. at least 10 km from the center of the base

• Deployable infantry units cannot be dropped in the base perimeter (dashed blue / red circle), but must be unloaded outside it

• The base cannot receive new supplies from the automatic supply into its warehouse! In this state, supplies can only be delivered to the base by player transport flights.

• If the base is undergoing repairs of logistical or defensive units, this happens very slowly.

  Even when the base is threatened, players can slot into planes and helicopters on it. However, it is important to remember that they can be destroyed by enemy action while still on the ground and life is deducted even without taking off!

  Due to the negative effects of threatened, it is necessary to detect and destroy enemy units in the yellow circle around the base as soon as possible! To do this, it is necessary to place your own JTAC units in suitable places around the base so that they have a view not obscured by the terrain. Or send a drone to the base, which from above will better detect ground units hidden behind the terrain. Similarly, a Recon plane piloted by the player can be used.

  Example: Even if there are no enemy aircraft or helicopters in the air, a single enemy coalition unit (such as this SPH 2S3 Akatsia 152 mm) will keep Senaki Airbase under threat.

📌 NOTE: If the blue team does not have a JTAC unit or drone nearby, they will not see the enemy unit on the F10 map!

  To capture an airbase, its logistics bar must first be completely depleted. Once zeroed out, a white circle will appear around the base to signal it is ready for capture. Note that other health bars do not need to be at zero to trigger this. With logistics down, a logistics helicopter can drop infantry at the objective to secure the base. Alternatively, infantry can be deployed or repositioned prior to neutralization, triggering an instant, automatic capture the moment the base goes neutral. Only Standard, Anti-Tank, and Mortar infantry squads are capable of capturing a neutralized base. The logistics health bar directly reflects the status of specific logistics units and static objectives located at each site.

  To prevent exploit loops, no points are awarded if a coalition simply re-captures a base they previously allowed the enemy to neutralize; point rewards are strictly tied to a genuine change in base ownership. Deployable dynamic FARPs, Industrial Production Zones, and Naval dynamic FARPs (such as aircraft carriers and flight-deck-equipped vessels) cannot be captured—they can only be destroyed.

  Upon capturing an airbase, any weapons and fuel common to both coalitions are transferred directly to the new owner's warehouse as war trophies, keeping their current quantities intact. Coalition-specific items, however, will only seed in small quantities. The remaining inventory will gradually replenish via automated logistics, provided the airbase is not actively under threat, until reaching 100% warehouse capacity. Players can accelerate this resupply process by manually hauling weapons and equipment using the dynamic cargo system. Doing so also allows players to overstock the warehouse beyond its standard capacity limits.

📌 NOTE: If players deploy infantry within the base perimeter prior to neutralization but the base is not captured immediately after going neutral, it indicates that enemy infantry is still present in equal numbers, blocking the capture. The base will then be awarded to whichever coalition secures infantry numerical superiority within the perimeter.

  In this example Tbilisi has 0 Logi health and is capturable. Notice the white inner circle which confirms the base as capturable.

Example of a capturable base.

Also note that Health is 16, which means that the conquerable base can have defensive units.

Message that will appear when a base is able to be captured.

📌 NOTE: Defending units do not prevent a base from being captured (but ​​they will attack enemy logistics). The first troop drop will essentially be a logistics company and is the same as dropping a repair crate.

  Repairs to objects and units occur either automatically if there are Logistics Units at the base, or through the activity of players who transport and unpack repair crates. All repairs cost points.

Auto-Repairs

  Automatic repairs are tied to logistic units/objects on the base. Their condition is listed on the campaign map using the base information labels. If the Logi value is non-zero, the base is owned by a coalition, and logistic units automatically repair it. Repair times scale linearly according to the Logi value. For example, if the Logi is 25%, then repairs will only be effective for 25%. The repair duration for the campaign is set to the value shown on the live campaign map in the bottom bar - Bases repair. If 1 hour is set, then at 100% Logi, all logistic and defensive units on the base will be repaired within 1 hour. Repairs follow the set priority and will be repaired in the following order: Logistics > Services (FARP Trucks) > LR SAM > AAA > SR SAM medium range > LR SAM long range > Armored units. FOB and LOG FOB bases have 1 set of logistic units and objects. Airbases, Road FOBs and Logistics Hubs have 2 sets of Logistics Units. If all Logistics Units and Objects on a base are destroyed, that base becomes neutral and automatic base repairs are terminated. The specifications of Logistics Units can be found HERE.

📌 NOTE: There are no repair compounds just the logistical units. The first set of troops dropped count as a repair crate. Basic logistics will repair itself, but static objects and the production building will not automatically repair without a repair crate.



Player Repairs

The "Repair" crate is used to repair the base's logistics and statics objects, production objects in industrial zones, as well as deployable FARP units whose "Logi" indicator has dropped below 100%, which has reduced the repair speed of objects and defense units that are part of the base. To get to the logistics crates, click on the Radio Menu F10 → F1 Cargo → F7 Crates → F1 Logistics and then load the crate. Crates have their own cargo weight, and the maximum number of crates in the cargo can be found using the Cargo List. In order to perform a repair, the "Logi" indicator must be less than 100%.

Logi

  To perform a repair, the repair crate must be unpacked anywhere within the perimeter of the base and the crate must come from a different base than the one on which it is to be unpacked. When transporting and unpacking a repair crate on a damaged base or FARP deployables, the Logi repair is performed immediately and the pilot must pay with their 10 points (or points stored on the base). One repair crate repairs a portion of Logistics objects. If static logistics objects are not also destroyed on the base (they count towards the Logi value), the repair can be performed immediately at 100% Logi



Productions objects

 However, when unpacking - repairing destroyed production buildings, several repair crates can also be unloaded in industrial zones, but the repair itself will be completed later, according to the set "Factory repair" limit. One Repair Crate will repair one production object for a set amount of time, and objects are automatically repaired one by one if the required number of repair crates are unpacked in the zone. For unpacking 1 repair crate, the player pays 20 points. If the player does not have enough points and the production zone has stored points, these points will be used to pay for unpacking the repair crate. If the zone has 0 points and the player does not have enough points, he must request points from teammates. Repairing production factories is also in the best interest of his teammates, and should help the team repair important production zones and thus ensure sufficient supplies of newly manufactured airframes, weapons and fuel to their HUB.

example of a damaged production zone:

Repair 0/3

  0 = number of repair crates unpacked (no repair in progress)

  3 = number of repair crates needed to repair to 100% production

  1 repair crate repairs 1 production building in 5 hours
(more crates will not speed up the repair, but will add them to the repair queue)

  If the pilot transports and unpacks 3 repair crates in this damaged production zone, it will be completely repaired in 15 hours (and the supply of supplies to the connected HUB will increase proportionally).

Statics Logistics objects

  If the coalition base also has destroyed static objects Ammunition depot, Command Center and Command Post, they will not be repaired quickly or automatically, like other logistical units. These objects, which are part of the Logi value, must be repaired by players. They will transfer a repair crate from another base, unpack it, and pay the 30 points. One crate repairs 1 object for the time indicated on the live map in the bottom bar - "Static repair". Objects are repaired sequentially in the following order of priority:

  Command Post → Command Center → Ammunition depot

  When a static object is destroyed on the base, a new item will appear on the map under the base information:

Repair x/y

  x = number of repair crate(s) and therefore the number of objects being repaired

  y = number of destroyed static objects and therefore the number of repair crate(s) needed for repair

For example, on the map under the HUB information it will be written:

Repair 0/2

  0 indicates that no repair crate has been unpacked yet and repairs have therefore not started.

  2 indicates that the Command Center and Ammunition Depot are destroyed on the HUB base.

  FARP Command Post                 Command Center                     Ammunition depot

📌 NOTE: Before players can begin repairing these static objects, the other classic logistics groups on the base must first be repaired. For example, the airbase has 85% Logi, Repair 0/1. If the player unpacks the 1st repair crate, they will complete the repair of the classic logistics groups and the Logi will show 97%. If the player unpacks the 2nd repair crate, Repair 1/1 will be displayed, starting the repair of the destroyed Command Center, which will be completed in 10 hours.

  Dynamic Engine utilizes the warehouse system for all its aspects. At the start of each campaign every base starts with a templatized number of resources. This means every base starts with a set number of aircraft, munitions, and fuel. It is important to keep in mind that the number of airframes available at a base is independent of lives. You can access the warehouse menu via the F10 map by clicking on an airfield then clicking resources. For FOBs and Logistics Hubs you can click on the FARP pad and then click the small arrow in the bottom right to view the warehouse.

  The base depot only contains weapons and equipment that require airframes that are stationed at the base to operate. If the coalition needs airframes, weapons, or equipment at the base that are not there, players must transport them there themselves. Weapons, fuel and airframes transported in this way will remain in the warehouse even in excess of the limit, as players transport them there using dynamic cargo. When restarting the round, the contents of each warehouse are saved, and when starting a new round they are loaded back, so what is not consumed does not disappear anywhere. The item number limits are only used for the automatic logistics system - if the number of tracked items is below this limit, they are replenished during the logistics tick.

📌 NOTE: If AI air groups are spawned at a base, their airframe pieces are also deducted from the base's inventory, including their fuel, weapons, and equipment. If AI groups perform Rtb (refueling and rearming), everything is also deducted from the base's inventory.

Airfield Example

Inventory items are divided into:

  a) Tracked items including airframes. These are advanced and therefore the most used items, which have smaller inventory quantities. When running low, these items are refilled at home HUBs during the "Delivery to HUBs" phase, scaling with the HUB's current Production value. Next, they are routed to linked allied bases during the standard "Supply to bases" intervals.

  b) Other Weapons and Equipment (we're talking "dumb" weapons here, rarely used unless the stockpile runs out of better options) are also distributed from HUBs to surrounding bases via automated logistics. However, these items are not included in the standard "Delivery to HUBs" intervals. Instead, if a home HUB's stock of these items hits zero, they will replenish at the start of the next round. The replenishment amount is determined by that specific HUB's Production value.

📌 NOTE: If the base or HUB is not in danger, each logistics interval sends a logistics HUB to replenish a portion of the sub-limit monitored supplies and fuel.

⚠️ Logistics runs won't trigger immediately after you pull a single item or airframe from stock; a larger deficit is required to prompt a resupply. If you're waiting on specific items or airframes that just aren't shipping, you'll need to draw down other inventory first. This triggers the restock threshold and forces the logistics system to dispatch a new delivery.

  Logistics hubs collect fuel, ammunition and airframes from factories and distribute them to the coalition ground bases and naval depots they are closest to, at "Delivery to HUBs" intervals. The total volume of deliveries to HUBs depends on the status of the connected production zones, these connections are shown on the map as gray lines. Each time a connected production building is destroyed, its Production indicator for the industrial zone is reduced, and the production value of the HUB is also reduced. For example, if 50% of the connected production buildings are destroyed, the amount of supplies delivered to the relevant HUB will be reduced by 50%.

  Bases start with a certain number of resources and receive more from logistics hubs. Supply lines are created and calculated immediately after capture or loss and are graphically displayed on the map. The color of the supply lines (green - yellow - orange) indicates a gradual decrease in the volume of supplies delivered with increasing distance. When you capture a logistics hub or base, all shared equipment will be captured, while all other resources will be destroyed. The best example of a shared resource is fuel. Logistics hubs contain many times more resources than bases, so losing a logistics hub is very detrimental to the coalition's supplies as a whole.

  In the case where a HUB is occupied in the original territory of the enemy coalition, production zones (gray lines) cannot be attached to it, and this HUB receives supplies in "Supply to bases" intervals, and then distributes them to the nearest coalition bases. This means a weakened supply force for the coalition in the enemy territory of the map, and C-130 Hercules transport aircraft are needed to strengthen and speed up the supply delivery. If a base in the combat zone runs out of supplies, players can use the dynamic cargo system to transport additional supplies. When loading supplies, these supplies are deducted from the base's raw material warehouse. Pilots are rewarded with points for transporting supplies after they are unloaded, and their work allows the coalition to advance more quickly in the offensive.

  No base is cut off from supplies, even in the most remote area, but its automatic resupply is very slow. The amount of supply drop is determined by the mission settings, which can be found via the icon in the online campaign gadget.

📌NOTE: New supplies are not delivered to the HUB if the HUB is in threat status. Likewise, supplies cannot leave it to surrounding bases. This is indicated by the disappearance of connecting logistics lines.

Occupied logistics HUBs

  If occupied, logistic HUBs in enemy territory have a special status. They are not connected to coalition production factories and do not receive new supplies from them (therefore, their Production value is not indicated in the tooltips). These HUBs in enemy home territory act as distribution transshipment points. They are connected to the nearest home HUB of their coalition, which is indicated on the map by a blue/red connecting line, and receive supplies at "Supply to bases" intervals and then forward them to the nearest connected warehouses of friendly bases at the same intervals.

📌NOTE: The reduction of quantity according to the distance of HUBs is not applied to the supply of domestic HUBs → occupied HUBs. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Supplies are sent to the front occupied HUBs faster, but at the same time, domestic HUBs are emptied. If the enemy manages to occupy the occupied HUB back after the supplies have been moved, the coalition will lose a lot of stored supplies.

  Production zones represent factories producing ammunition and fuel supplies for one of the coalitions. Their objects do not have to be destroyed for victory in the campaign - they are not objectives, and therefore the destruction of their buildings cannot bring the zone to a neutral state. Production zones have the same owner from the start to the end of the campaign, and it is desirable to destroy their buildings, thereby reducing the supply of supplies to enemy HUBs. When the "Production" indicator drops to 0%, the black line on the F10 map indicating the connection to the nearest HUB disappears.

  For the victory of the coalition, it is therefore important to protect your own production zones and damage the enemy ones as much as possible. There are no native defense units in production zones, as on other bases, and players must take care of defense by deploying suitable defense deployable units and possibly securing CAP. Likewise, there are no Logistic objects in production zones, so destroyed production buildings will not repair themselves. Players must provide repairs by transporting and unpacking Repair crates. The repair time of 1 production building lasts according to the "Repair factory" value set in the campaign, which increases the usefulness of completing missions with the goal of destroying these zones and also increases the need for their defense.

  No crates and infantry units can be spawned in production zones. Likewise, players cannot spawn in planes or helicopters there, but they can land in them and regain their life. Production zones, like bases, have the ability to store "Points". If a player tries to unpack a defensive unit from a crate for which they do not have enough points, the missing points will be deducted from the production zone's "Points".

  The total number of connected production objects in production zones to logistics HUBs is set to different amounts at the start of the campaign and these also change during the campaign if a HUB is occupied by the enemy and the production zones are connected to another closest HUB of their coalition. For example, if a production zone with 5 objects is connected to a HUB, each of these objects will provide 20% of the supply (100 % / 5) to this HUB. For example, if there are 15 connected production objects in total, each of them will provide 6.6% of the supply (100 % / 15). This means that the fewer production objects a HUB has connected, the faster it is possible to achieve an interruption of supply for this connected HUB by destroying these production objects.

  In order to disrupt the industrial zone and its supply of new supplies to the logistics HUB, ground units can be deployed near it, putting the zone in danger. This will break the black-gray supply line, and even if the industrial zone's objects are undamaged, it will not be possible to send supplies to the HUB as long as the danger persists.

Industrial zones have a smaller radius where enemy ground units can threaten them compared to other bases. This distance is currently set to 5 km (2.7 nm)

all 8 types of production objects

📌NOTE: Each coalition has a total of 100 factories/production facilities in all their industrial zones. This means that 1 production facility gives 1% Production. In the picture, Production is 96% vs 97%, which means that each coalition has one of their industrial zones in danger and therefore cannot participate in production. (The difference in % is due to the fact that industrial zones contain different numbers of facilities.)

  Even though the production zone has 100% and its objects are therefore undamaged, the threat state causes a disconnection from the HUB (the gray-black connecting line is not drawn), which has therefore dropped Production to 73% in Tbilisi HUB

example of a damaged production zone:

  62 Production = 62 % zone objects works

  Points 0 = no extra charge for unpacking deployable crates (player must use his own points)

Repair 0/3

0 = number of repair crates unpacked (no repair in progress)

3 = number of repair crates needed to repair to 100% production

  There are 3 destroyed objects in the production zone, repairing them will require unpacking 3 repair crates and a total time for the "Repair Shop" of 5 hours, the repair will take a total of 15 hours.

  Point-purchased actions are powerful and often require protection. To foster a culture of accountability, specific penalties are tied to the loss of certain point-action vehicles. We inherently want to reinforce an "actions have consequences" mindset regarding all coalition assets to prevent them from being spammed or needlessly wasted. If an asset features waypoint functionality, the following rules apply: The purchasing player retains full responsibility for the unit unless another player issues it a new waypoint command. Once a new waypoint command is given, ownership—and any associated penalties—transfers entirely to the player who issued the command, completely clearing the original owner of liability.

  Upon purchase, players secure an ownership lock on their AI air groups for a set duration (currently 24 hours), during which only they can issue commands. This 24-hour lock resets and extends every time the owner joins or leaves the server. However, if the owner fails to log in before the expiration window closes, the lock is permanently deactivated. Once a lock expires, those AI air units can be commanded by any allied player, who will then assume full responsibility and liability for their actions as outlined above.

Point actions

Each player has a point action available. Just place a mark point and add some text to it and:

method a)

  enter the Radio Menu F10 → Actions and select the desired action and then select the name of your mark point. You will receive a message to say if the action was successful or not.

method b)

enter the command in the allies chat:

-action <command> <marktext>

  If the action fails, an error message is displayed with the reason for the failure. This is usually caused by a misspelled name for your point, or when there are two points with the same name on the map. Below are all available actions and commands (corresponding to those in the Radio Menu F10 → Actions menu)

📌NOTE: You can get the unit identification number by clicking on the unit marker on the F10 map.If you plan to launch an air force from a nearby base, make sure the base has the necessary planes/helicopters in stock. If not, they will take off from a more distant base that does have them in stock.

System Purpose

  The Dynamic Cargo Delivery system in Fowl lets pilots move real warehouse stock—ordnance, equipment, and fuel—between friendly logistics objectives using Eagle Dynamics cargo containers. It is not the same as Fowl construction or repair crates, which exist only to build and repair base structures. Use dynamic cargo when you need to replenish a base’s warehouse because automated supply is too slow, or when a frontline FARP is critically short of materiel.

Checking Out Warehouse Cargo

  Land at a friendly airbase, hub, or FARP that has usable warehouse stock. Request the container through the normal DCS ground crew menu (F8 / Warehouse / Ground Crew). When the crate appears on the ramp, those items leave that airfield’s warehouse and Fowl tracks the crate as yours for delivery. Construction and logistics crates for deployables and repairs are ordered separately from Radio Menu F10 Other → Cargo → Crates; they are not the same as warehouse containers from F8.

helicopters dynamic cargo menus

Aircraft Handling and Cabin Rules

  On this campaign’s main transports: C-130J-30, CH-47, Mi-8, Mi-24, and UH-1H warehouse containers and Fowl crates share the cargo cabin or sling-load path. You load and unload them with the DCS ground crew (F8) or by sling. Open the cargo ramp or cabin doors before loading internally; if the bay is closed you may see CARGO BAY IS NOT READY, CHECK THE DOOR.

  Recon cargo-capable aircraft may still use those Radio Menu F10 Other → Cargo → Load and unload commands for Fowl crates.

List Cargo

  At any time, Radio Menu F10 Other → Cargo → List Cargo shows what you are carrying: troop and crate slot usage, named crates aboard, dynamic cargo weight in the bay, and total weight. Use it to confirm the load before you leave.

Delivery and Drop Locations

  Fly to a different friendly logistics objective than the one where you checked the crate out. Production facilities do not count, and the destination must have working logistics. Unload or unhitch so the crate is on the ground near you, then use Radio Menu F10 Other → Cargo → Supplies → To stock. Fowl credits registered crates within about fifty meters into that objective’s warehouse, awards logistics points, and removes the containers. If DCS itself pulls a registered crate into the pad warehouse at a valid destination other than the origin, Fowl still counts that as a successful delivery when it can.

Supply Drop

📌NOTE: If large containers dropped by a C-130 miss the base zone and land too far from the warehouse to be automatically added to the inventory, and the coalition lacks a helicopter capable of sling-loading heavy cargo (CH-47), the supplies from these crates are lost. Therefore, either choose smaller containers for the C-130 airdrop or land on the runway and unload the large containers.

What Does Not Count as Delivery

  To stock will not work while crates are still in the aircraft—unload them first. It also will not stock crates back into the same objective where they were checked out; you must deliver somewhere else. Leaving a crate in the open field outside friendly logistics leaves it stranded: To stock does nothing there, and if the crate disappears with no valid destination, those supplies are gone from the network. Fowl does not automatically collect ground crates over time. Only To stock or a valid DCS absorb at a proper destination completes the run.

Logistics Points

  Successful cross-objective deliveries award logistics points by cargo weight, with a one-ton minimum for scoring so even lighter crates still pay. The pilot who checked the crate out of the warehouse earns the larger share; the pilot who stocks it at the destination—or who was last carrying it if DCS absorbs it—earns a smaller share.  On current rates that is two points per ton for the checkout pilot and one for the deliverer, so a solo end-to-end run earns twenty points for a typical one-ton load.

  If supply crates are parachuted into a base area, a deliverer may still need to finish the job. If the DCS core does not absorb them into the warehouse on its own, players must land nearby, leave the crates on the ground within the objective, and use Radio Menu F10 Other → Cargo → Supplies → To stock so their contents are credited. Until a player does that—or DCS successfully absorbs them at a valid destination—the crates are not delivered.

⚠️ Campaign Limits

  Each side may only have a limited number of active dynamic cargo crates in play (100 on this campaign). If the team goes over the limit, the oldest registered crate is destroyed, so stock or clear unused containers instead of leaving them scattered.

  This campaign turns the feature on with dynamic_cargo_delivery (to_stock distance 50 m, 1+2 points per ton, max 100 pc  dynamic cargo crates per side).

Troops - Squads

  Helicopters can carry 5 different types of squads. Standard Troops, Anti Tank, Mortar, Recon and Stinger (Igla). Standard troops have 7 rifleman and 1 AT. AT troops have 3 rifleman and 5 AT. Mortar Troops have 5 mortars and 3 rifleman. Recon JTAC troops have 3 rifleman. Stinger (Igla) Troops have 2 MANPADS, 2 support troops, and 2 rifleman. All troops except MANPADS can act as a JTAC.  You can access the radio menu via Radio Menu F10 Other → F3 Troops

 After selecting Troops Squad → F5 Squads → F1-5, the unit is loaded and the player pays its point cost. If the player crashes or is shot down with loaded troops, they lose these units along with their life. To return infantry units to a friendly base, use the Radio Menu F10 Other → F3 Troops → F4 Return, and the player will receive a full point refund.

  Deployable infantry units can be dropped directly within a friendly base zone. However, if the base is under threat, infantry must be deployed outside of this zone (infantry is exempt from the 10 km minimum distance restriction from the base center, which is marked by a yellow threat circle).

Cargo - Crates

  Players are able to deploy a variety of units via radio menu. In order to get to deployable you must Radio Menu F10 Other → F2 Cargo → F7 Crates. Deployables are divided up into different categories listed in the menu. When selecting a crate to spawn next to the deployable there may be a number in parenthesis, for example Avenger crate (2), indicating how many crates are required to spawn that unit. To deploy something:

  1. Spawn your desired crate Radio Menu F10 Other → F2 Cargo → F7 Crates:  it will spawn in front of your aircraft.

  2. On the cargo menu, use F2 Load Crate to load the crate.

  3. Once the crate is onboard you may fly it to where you would like to construct the deployable.

  4. Then use F3 Unload Crate. You will need to be landed on the ground or in a hover to unload the crate.

  5. After you have the required number of crates unloaded you can use F1 Unpack Nearby Crate(s) to build the deployable.

⚠️ If the menu does not have the options "Load Nearby Crate" and "Unload Crate", the dynamic cargo menu F8 must be used.

📌NOTE: When Unload Crates, the crate that was loaded last is unloaded first, followed by the second to last, and so on.

  Keep in mind deployable have a point cost to actually unpack. It is important to note that deployable units have global limits and once they reach their limit, the oldest deployable units of the same type will be removed without any point refund. Before placing a new over-limit unit, sell one of your older units of the same type, or inform a teammate about it so that they have the opportunity to sell it. When selling - deleting a unit, its owner will get half of its price back. Deployables also permanently persist and do not disappear unless destroyed or replaced. Deployable crates units can be placed within a minimum distance of 5 km from your own bases (Ground FARPs 10 km), but if the base is under threat, they cannot be deployed within the yellow circle shown on the map, which corresponds to 10 km from the center of the base. When deploying at an enemy base, these distance limits do not apply. Some crates deployable units can be repaired/rearmed if needed by unpacking the corresponding Repair/Rearm crate ( ), which costs half the price of the unit

  Players do not pay when spawning crates and can therefore cooperate in transporting components. In order for a unit to be unpacked, all its component crates must be within 500 m of each other. The player who unpacks the unit pays for the unit and becomes its owner. If their unit destroys an enemy target, points are credited to the unit owner's account.

📌NOTE: Each player can have a maximum of 8 crates on the map, if they spawn another crate, their oldest crate placed on the map will be automatically deleted!

Cargo limits

  If your heli/aircraft uses the shared dynamic cargo bay for deployables crates, the campaign crate / total slot limits apply the same way they do for normal deployables crates loadouts.

  If you try to take more Deployables/Repair crates than allowed, the over-limit crate is returned to the ground (the bay is forced open if needed). You’ll get a short panel message; warehouse cargo is not affected.

  During the campaign, it is possible to build a limited number of Ground FARPs on the map, which must be located at least 10 km from any other base. You cannot spawn into helicopters on these forward bases, but you can land within their perimeter and regain your life. To refuel and re-arm, you must be near service trucks. The Deployable FARP has its own warehouse, like other bases, but with a smaller capacity. After it is built, it does not have a full supply, which is gradually replenished by the logistics system. The FARP can be repaired using a repair crate, just like other bases. The Deployable FARP can be destroyed, but it cannot be occupied.There is also a restriction on unpacking deployable units from crates at least 5 km from the center of the base.

📌NOTE: Some of the FARP's stationary weapons can be boarded and fired manually. The defense also includes one MANPAD and AAA cannons.

  When constructing a Ground FARP, unpacking the crates triggers a placement check to ensure no part of the FARP is over water (even a small creek will trigger this). If the FARP cannot be deployed, a notification is displayed to the player, instructing them to move the placement location further away from the water.

  If the FARP placement is valid, the player receives a construction start confirmation and has 60 seconds to fly a short distance away to prevent the FARP objects and models from spawning into the player's helicopter.

Early Warning Radar

  A list of detected enemy contacts will be displayed as a message panel periodically. Radio Menu F10 Other → F1 EWR → F1 Report Each row will include the last detection Time, Bearing, Range, barometric Altitude, Speed and Aspect. The EWR will display automatically when there are enemy contacts, and the display frequency will vary depending on how close the enemy units are to the player. If all enemies are far away, the EWR will report every minute. If the player is merged, the EWR will report every 10 seconds. The friendly EWR report will not display automatically, but is available on request from the EWR menu. The EWR report is on by default, but may be disabled via the toggle command

⚠️ Enemy helicopters are not shown on the "AWACS" F10 map. They are only shown in the EWR report, and only if they fly higher than 50 m above the terrain or are faster than 150 km/h (93 mph).

  •  The type of airframe of the contact is not reported.

  •  Friendly EWR reports are available.

Aspects (Brevity codes)

  The Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) system provides advanced targeting, fire coordination, and battlefield intelligence.

JTACs are specialized units that:

• Detect and track enemy units

• Designate targets with laser

• Coordinate artillery and missile strikes

• Provide detailed target information

  To deploy a JTAC, you must land any group of soldiers and certain armored units, except for Stingers, which must have a direct line of sight to the target.

JTAC (air)

  Line-of-sight: Not required (can see through terrain)

JTAC (ground)

Line-of-sight: require line-of-sight

  Once deployed, JTACs will be marked on the map for your team and will have a numerical identifier. You can use the Radio Menu F10 Other  → JTAC to interact with JTACs. Here you will see a list of available JTACs marked with their identifier. You can select the desired JTAC to access the control options for that JTAC.

Status Report Shows:

• JTAC id

• Current target (if any) and Laser code

• JTAC position (bearing/distance from objective)

• All visual contacts

• Autoshift setting and IR pointer setting

• Filter settings (if set)

• Nearby artillery units (if any)

• Nearby cruise missile units (if any)

By default, the blue coalition JTAC laser code is 1688.

By default, the red coalition JTAC laser code is 1113.

GCI Lazur

  The Red Coalition can deploy up to 3 GCI command units (Lazur system) to guide MiG-29 Fulcrums onto aerial targets. These units are spawned just like any other ground deployables. You can find their crates via the Radio Menu: F10 Other → F2 Cargo → F6/F7 Crates → F9 GCI.

📌NOTE: "Dep:1/1" means 1 out of a maximum 1 GCI unit is already deployed on the map. If you build a new "Lazur CP1" unit under these conditions, the original one will be automatically deleted with no refund. To avoid this, make sure to manually despawn the original unit first using the "action delete" command to get 50% of its cost back.

The GCI unit number corresponds directly to its channel:

• Lazur CP1 → channel 1
• Lazur CP2 → channel 2
• Lazur CP3 → channel 3

⚠️ To operate, the Lazur GCI requires at least 3 operational radar systems within the operational area (EWR or long-range SAM search radars)

📌NOTE: These ground units cannot be controlled manually via Combined Arms, but you can use the "action move" command to reposition them.

  Artillery fire missions allow a JTAC to feed coordinates to artillery (including mortar troops).

  The initial solution computed by DCS may not be accurate, so you have options to refine the solution by reporting the results of test shots to the jtac. Once your solution is refined you may fire 5, 10, or 20 shots from the F4. Fire For Effect…  menu.

📌NOTE: In order for the JTAC unit to see targets, it must have a line of sight to them that is unobstructed by terrain. Artillery units fire along a ballistic trajectory and can be effectively concealed behind terrain.

Tacview - Latest Version

  The ATTRITION server automatically tracks and saves every campaign round. To keep gameplay fair and prevent intel leaks, the server strips all deployable land units, naval assets, and dynamic FARPs from the file as soon as a round ends. This sanitized recording is then uploaded to Google Drive for easy download. You can grab the files directly from this Tacview-acmi – Disk Google, by clicking the Tacview icon on the campaign Live Map, or by using the file selection tool in the ACMI section of the Attrition website.
 Please note that files older than 30 days are automatically deleted. If you want to archive any specific rounds, make sure to download them to your local device.

📌NOTE: If Tacview is running on your client, it will only record your own aircraft because server-side data export is disabled. Additionally, active Tacview recording can cause local performance issues due to simultaneous data writing. To ensure optimal performance on the ATTRITION server, please disable local Tacview recording, as server restrictions prevent it from capturing full match data anyway.

Friendly fire

  If a player destroys an allied ground unit, object, or AI aircraft for the first time, they will lose points equal to what they would have earned for destroying an equivalent enemy target. This first teamkill opens a 24-hour friendly fire tracking window. If the player inflicts further friendly fire during this period, the penalties multiply: double the point deduction for the second offense, triple for the third, and so on.

  If a player teamkills an allied player, lives are deducted from the offender instead of points, matching the life class of the victim. A second player teamkill within the 24-hour window results in a 2-life deduction from that same class. A third incident results in a 3-life deduction, and so on. If the offender has no remaining lives in that specific class, lives will be deducted from other classes in the following order: Standard → Attack → Intercept → Recon → Logistics. After 24 hours have passed since the initial incident, the player's friendly fire history is completely reset.

  This penalty system is fully automated, so isolated friendly fire incidents do not need to be reported to staff. However, if a player's behavior is found to be persistent or malicious—verified via Tacview records and server logs—the offender may face a campaign suspension in accordance with the server rules.

  Air-deslot penalty / Kill Denial

⚠️ If a player ejects, the system verifies whether there was a valid reason for the bailout or if it was an attempt to deny the opponent a kill. Ejecting without penalty is only permitted if the aircraft is damaged or out of fuel. Otherwise, the action is classified as griefing; points will be deducted from the player's balance, and they will be temporarily restricted from slotting in. Attempting to re-slot will display the remaining penalty time in the game chat. Current penalty configurations are visible on the Live Map bottom bar under "Air-deslot penalty."

The penalty is a 15-minute slot ban and a 100-point fine.

📌NOTE: Die like men, not like cowards.
