Stuge

i'm a pilot!! 104th_Stuge - Su-33 (more missiles!!)

Too bad I have work those days, would really like to participate, thanks for the last time, I can still taste the bitterness of the silver medal :)) Big thumbs up for the voice call for turn-in, a great solution for the classic problem (some people consider preparing the merge and making a lead turn unfair :) :) :) ) Not sure how the G limitation is enforced effectively though, with online desync confusing things even further... and whether it is reasonable to have in planes that break with over-G, anyway.

Have to cancel, sorry.

104th_Stuge - AJS37 or Mig21, depending which team is in need :)

Hmm, using VR required for prizes?

Sounds like a good time and I want in of course. But a question: what does "maintain constant altitude before merge" mean, and how is it enforced? What are the parameters? 15k +/- 1k, or less? The problem I see here (and I've talked about this for years), is that tiny differences in altitude and the timing of your first turn can make ALL the difference for victory, thus I see it necessary to define exactly when it is considered that this rule is violated. We had one event in the past where this "maintain constant altitude" rule caused considerable debate.. I wasn't the only one considering it too arbitrary, some of the SF bfm heroes agreed with me on this. With 20+ years of experience BFM:ming online and participating in multiple 1v1 tournaments I think there is only one reasonable way to do this: to enforce an altitude window, say 15000ft +/- 1000ft (14000-16000ft), while allowing unrestricted maneuvering within this window as the merge happens. This is how it was done a year back in a Falcon BMS 1v1 tournament and it worked very well. Thanks!

Okay, I'll have to cancel then, work gets in the way...

Curious.. how many participants so far? And who's actually running the show? Can't find much information on that...

I got an idea... we could perhaps make a script to make the F-16s "glass cannons" that explode after a single hit. But hopefully, we will have a proper damage model before the tourney.

Hey, unfortunately I have to cancel my participation as having a life got in the way. Too bad, this woulda been so cool.

Also agree with 1 minute. :)

Good first match, thanks everyone RvE for flying with us!

What a great event. Great stream by Moltar & Billy, what a pleasure to co-commentate. Flawless execution by everyone, I didn't hear of any major problems happening during the tournament. Thank you, looking forward to the next one.
