An opportunity to develop tactics, fly in formation, and be victorious as a unit. I expect mature, serious SIM players. I will have a fair ranking system that concentrates on participation as well as skill. With the introduction of the upcoming inter-game chating option you will be able to talk to your flight group only (even if there is only 6 members of your team online at the time, you can have 2 groups of 3 or 3 pairs). This competition will include invading enemy territory (STRIKE), and capturing it (CAPTURE THE AIRFIELD). "CLASH OF THE CONTINENTS" will be a tournament of 2 teams and the objective will be to conquer Europe (series of maps). Tournament will end if a team conquers all maps or if a team runs out resources or manpower. This is planned for January, and I will explain with more detail until then.

Sounds fantastic edal, really excited to see this come into action.

And just like irrelevant said

Dammit Rhah, I knew you won by a net total of 1. Damn me and my low flying addiction, kissing rivers with my belly and randomly solid trees lol. Good games though, mate, well played :)

Totally. Getting owned by Mirgervin was absolutely no fun. And I suspect the same will happen in a few upcoming matches.

An option to concede a match where it's obvious you will spend the next 20 minutes getting raped might get around this. Maybe extrapolate the results for a small time sample over the entire duration of the match? So, say I got shot down 5 times in 5 minutes (I didn't btw lol [I don't think]) I could concede the match for 20 deaths...

I deleted the rest of the quote, but this sounds very, very exciting. I'm envisioning something like EndWar, but faster moving and less prone to deadlock. When you release the details, I'll see if there's any scope or point to writing a little Windows application so that we can track the progress etc. Maybe even use it to post results, although I think the current screenshot system is pretty bullet proof (barring people forgetting...lol).

Thank god for those tree's!!! Good games though dude, cheers.

I'm liking the sound of this new competition. Look forward to hearing more about it Edal.

So, Haitch40 and the dreaded Mirgervin next eh? When can you guys play? To be honest, this week is going to be difficult for me. The only times i'm available are tonight, probably quite late, and Thursday evening, after 9pm.

Yes Edal this game mode sounds great.
Chat, That is one thing that is missing is to be able to chat with your wingman. It would make flying in formation a whole lot smoother. This is one thing the whole squadron has wanted to do from the get go but with out communication it makes thing very difficult.

otherwise 4pm to 6pm every day

There was a guy posted today who was becoming active because of the incoming patch and I suggested he took your place in the tourney as he expressed an interest.

Damned if I can find it though... sorry. Maybe he'll see this and know what I'm talking about...

Damn, I don't finish work till 6pm, so there's no way I can play you at those times.

So, Mirgervin and InfiniteStates when will we play?

Hi there Hrok81,
any chance you got time today, I'll be leaving for Moscow tomorrow and although I'm even contemplating getting a slim ps3 just for that place (spending quite a lot of time there) it's still questionable if the hotel will be able to provide me with an HD TV.

Anyway, if you can it would be great (although not to worry, I've also just stepped in as cannonfodder for the excellent pilots in our group ;) ).

Ciao, MACADEMIC
