Battle of Britain memorial match PS3 - 15th September

[Rhah]

Well, I was thinking on the way into work this morning that it would be really cool to have some sort of BoB themed match tomorrow night. Anyone interested? (this thread is for PS3 only by the way)

It will be a pain in the arse to get going unless we have some decent organisation, but if everyone sticks to the plan it should work. First we'll need to decide the game mode. Here's my proposals:

Option 1: 8 vs 8 dogfight.. Spits and Hurri's vs 109E's (or is it F's?)
This would be the simplest option, although we'd have to play on realistic due to the German pit's issue.

Option 2: Strike 8 vs 8. Spits, Hurri's, Blenheims vs 109's, Stuka's and Heinkel's.
This would be difficult to work, as we'd have to all agree to a set amount of bombers, although that could be done if we arranged it well enough on here.

Players so far

TEAM A (RAF):
Rhah (voted realistic)
BackedOut_ (voted realistic)
Spitfire23
Edal86
QBLACKDEATHQ
Wissam24





TEAM B (Luftwaffe):
Seacat
tagemandbagem.
Robosled (possible)





As for the actual match host, well I'd guess the only fair way to do it would be to host in the country with the most players. I'll volunteer if we decide to host in the UK. And i'd like to propose a start time of 8pm GMT.

So, anyone want to sign up? Or does anyone have any ideas?

[Vherion]

I'd be up for it.

While I wont be an ace by any stretch come game time (Game is only getting shipped in here this morning.),
I'd still be more than willing to fly with you guys should you need another player.

I'm in Canada, but 8pm GMT still works out to 4pm here, which is a good time for me.

I'd have no preference over what mode to play, or what plane to fly, so anything is fine with me.

[Rhah]

Ok, i've put you in under Luftwaffe for now, although once we've got a definite 16 we can change that if you want too.

Eh? the lack of pits transcends mere realism settings, make it sim you know its for the best .

[Rhah]

Sim would be great, but it would be really unfair to the Luftwaffe... I'll go with the majority vote though, so if the Luft pilots are happy to play sim, then sim it shall be.

[dandymountfarto]

dont forget the 110! was beginning to think it had been left out of the game as i hadnt seen it all the way through the campaign but to my joy it is there!

[ontheborderland]

Surely it would be unfair to the RAF players? As the Luftwaffe pilots are forced to use virtual cockpit, hence giving them greater all round visibility.

I'd love to take part, but 8GMT is 1pm here in Western Australia, and I'll be at work

Would be great to hear some reports after the fact though. Such a pity this game doesn't have a picture / video editing mode.

Actually, once i get the game i will host a bunch of these things on XBOX 360, i did a few with BLAZING ANGELS, it was like the last 16 player dogfight ever. Same idea as this one though, a BoB momorial. After that....it was all 1v1 and 4v4... the game died....

[Reddisback]

i've got an idea? why dont set up the match as it would've been in the War?
the excact same amount of numbers and Bombers? - same units and same planes?

that's my opinion? besides, that would add an adition to the Historical issue we're having right now? and if you play it on SIM then it would be even greater? allthough, if im gonna enter, please do it in Arcade, since i'm getting killed every second!

but Hey, thats what i'm thinking?

Back to you Rhah.

Day dependant but I would be in for the Brits. I'll be the one who's marrying their sweetheart onces the wars over.....
