I know what you mean by speeding up the match, but what is the point then?

And how do you restrict cheating? Is there any way to do that in CoD at this moment (1.05).

I dind duels very interesting discipline and I enjoy flying them quite often, but I don't think the sim is quite ready as for the FMs and especially DM just yet. Still great fun and some of these guys are unbelievable good ad keeping their energy. Amazing skills.

I am not one of the organizers and did not invent the rules. I think the match consisting of 4 to 9 flights is pretty long one to watch and organisers decided to try this new format. I did not see many head-ons anyway.

I have not noticed any cheating. At least in this trial/test championship all participants are old friends (and members of sukhoi.ru forums) flying IL-2 and CloD in the same teamspeak for many months if not years. No point in cheating imho.

Going to watch it now

I was just curious about the rules. It's not very typical on duels, but I understand. Fair enough.

Cheating - question was ment in general not regarding this particular championship. I'd like to know if it's possible to turn something like CRT=2 on and restrict mods. I am pretty sure that some pilots would do anything to get tha upper hand in duels, been that way in Il-2 and will be the same in CoD.

Steam VAC is supposed to ban accounts of unauthorised mod users but I do not know how it works now.

Yes, they made arrows showing merge direction but I have no idea what is the object that they used.

Yes, due to some reported dot visibility issues and till it is fixed by the devs (planes disappearing at mid-range). That's what I've heard.
