FLANKERATOR

Congratulations to Stuge and Razer for winning the 2v2 contest for the 3rd year in a row! what an amazing achievement! We had very few no shows this year with attendance over 90% so we would like to thank all participants for their proficiency and sportsmanship. I'd like to personally thank Mr Dutch-Baron as well as every TAW member who contributed to the success of this event. It's not an easy task to tackle a 32 player draw and finish it off under 3 hours! hats off for the amazing organisation. SA-SIM.COM will of course process the official scoring of this event and I will post a heads up once it is released. O>

Stuge and Kapsu meeting again in the 2v2 grand finale backed respectively by Razer and Farrago...let's see whats in store this time around!

2v2 Roster Update: ----> Tripleinside / Bugs (next on the wait list) have replaced MicroVax/DackSter94 who are unable to attend. ----> Next pairs in line on the wait list ordered by who signed up first: EvilKipper / Painter – Drigo / Falcon – Colmilo / Proton Updated brackets--------->http://sa-sim.com/top-gun-2017-official-brackets/

I've always had utmost respect for RvE guys, not because they were once the best in BFM but because of their excellent attitude and humility. Talking people down like you did above was stage zero though, friend.

Kapsu Amazing video compilation Kapsu! music alone was bad ass, let alone the awesome fights you showed us from your perspective. Absolutely loved it! What I noticed is that once you got onto someone's six you become unshakable, worse than a super glue lol Last fight vs Stuge was epic, hands down the toughest and rightfully the most rewarding. What could we hope for better than a thrilling tie breaker against title holder to close the 1v1 tourney. Congrats again! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @MicroVax: Thanks for letting us know you won't make it. How about Dackster? is he getting a new wingman or should I withdraw both of you and call in a pair from the wait list? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guys, regarding pre-merge ROE's, I will discuss with TAW and we will come up with a more accurate statement. My opinion is that BFM starts way before merging, going straight and not maneuvering doesn't sound realistic, rather dangerous. Building angle off pre merge allows for more setups and tactics (faking turn rate to go for radius...etc sort of tricks)...I'll have a chat with TAW and i'm sure we will come up with a better statement about pre-merge ROE). Thanks folks.

You'd just need to sign up quicker, only 8 slots out of 32 went to top seeds :) @Stuge: I doubt TAW would allow hosting on a clients machine but good news is that you are both from Finland so regardless of the server, your respective pings should match up closely. Anyhow that's too early to worry about :)

2v2 brackets, Invitees Lists and Reservist Lists by sign up order have been all added---->http://sa-sim.com/top-gun-2017-official-brackets/

New stats added to "Milestones" section showing best overall scores since the inception of the SA Rankings in 2012. A2A--->http://sa-sim.com/dcs-a2a-top-scorers-ever/ A2G--->http://sa-sim.com/dcs-a2g-top-scorers-ever/

1v1 Brackets are out: http://sa-sim.com/top-gun-2017-official-brackets/ Player seeding is based on our A2A Pilot Career High Ranking available at: http://sa-sim.com/dcs-a2a-top-scorers-ever/ We had a maximum of 32 available slots so if you signed up but didn't make it to the brackets, please turn up on D-day for a chance to replace someone who wouldn't show up. TAW crew will come up with an order of play asap but please join TS way before your match time if possible to check in and get ready as all 32 matches will go back to back on several servers so multiple matches play at once. Please check your connection and read the rules carefully especially ROE - a referee will be there to coordinate all. 2v2 brackets will be published asap. Have fun and fight hard. May the best pilot win! S!

BURNING SKIES – SEPT/OCT 2017 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS http://sa-sim.com/burning-skies-septoct-2017-consolidated-results/

Plaiskool, sign up through the form please to confirm your spot.

Dumping fuel is allowed so you can dump as much as needed prior to the merge. It's up to the pilot to fine tune fuel load. 5mn burn time for all is a fair approach imo. If you want less fuel, dump it :)

Great editing and music was cool too!

Once you decide to join a combat server, make sure first you know how to IFF or VID a target to make sure it's a hostile before you pull the trigger. That will go a long way in preventing you from getting banned then dealing with the subsequent hassle of asking the admins to lift the ban. Welcome and have fun!
