Updates Plaiskool added to Team Martini SF squadron is confirmed in. Astus from Team Martini withdrew Martini and 36 Stormo pending confirmation. 2 slots are currently free on Team Martini

Updates: Casper from team Martini pulled out Sign up is still open for those interested Free Slots Free single slots: 2 (for single applications) Uncertain (pending confirmation): SF squadron 36 Stormo Martini Astus Live Streaming on Twitch Hook will not be able to stream this event but ChillyWillies has kindly accepted to stream the Ravens Fighter Championship on his Twitch Channel, you can follow him on Twitch and turn on auto notifications so you get an email as soon as the stream starts, link to his channel is: https://twitch.tv/chillywillies

Try to adjust a few parameters to increase PK: Launch speed: The faster the better Look.up: although amraam has good look down capability, shooting at someone with sky in background helps with guidance. Radar mode: use TWS to avoid alerting your target too soon. Adjust PRF: adjust it to target aspect until pitbull. For long range shots, try to fly fast above contrail, engage low targets with TWS from a reasonable range. They usually get an alert too late and the missile will still have enough juice to manoeuver. Having said that, missiles are not bulletproof and you may still miss even if all parameters were good. Happy hunting :)

Hi Coxy, you are in Team TurboRush as per TurboRush's request, if you click that team, you will see the lineup and your name on it.

Participant list and lineup for each team can be found here: https://www.toornament.com/tournaments/58d50065150ba009398b4577/participants/ Thanks. EDIT: Lock-on Greece have pulled out and =ITGC= have taken over.

SA Points from March Round on Burning Skies: http://sa-sim.com/burning-skies-public-server-march-2017-results/ Congratulations to ACG_Coopes, SF_Kaspu and Tecnam for best A2A performance, to Saburo for best A2G performance and to everyone who scored ranking points! The show is still on with April Round now underway. Have fun everyone!

If you want to fully play the realism card then you should quit the game everytime you hit 12G, slap your face and ask yourself why you flew her like a jerk. This would be the meager equivalent of the real jet getting damaged beyond repair and the pilot facing a probe for foolish and reckless flying :)

If 12G broke her, what 14 would do? No wit needed to answer, heh? Most of the fanboyism I see here is from you. You say it has to be realistic then at the same time you say who cares if you break her...it stinks double standard. Flanker's S key thing is history, Eagle's 14G thing is still there. Thanks anyway for the compliment sarcasm champ :)

You call 14G realistic Sweep? or maybe you believe it could fly with one wing? :D

10g is one thing, 14 is another. I mean this is a clear issue that needs attention, especially because of the Flanker/Eagle long standing rivalry.

The Eagle is subject to laws of physics as well and you shouldn't be able to keep pulling on the stick all day long without suffering the consequences. From a competition perspective, it is a huge game changer and it's not fair to have someone flying cautiously to stay within tbe boundaries of the airframe while opponent enjoys total impunity. This is in my opinion a critical issue in competitive environments thus needs immediate attention. Saying that the Eagle underperdorms anyway when pushed beyond realistic limits is irrelevant in my opinion as outcome from overstressing the airframe should be much worse.

Too bad, maybe next time and thanks for trying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team Lock-ON Greece is in now! 71st squadron who just pulled out was seeded #4, which means all teams that were seeded lower have been re-seeded so the brackets have been re-generated, which means you may have gotten a different opponent. Brackets are here: http://sa-sim.com/rfc1-brackets-order-of-battle-and-streams/ Brackets will be final once registration is closed! Reserve list is empty now, so sign up if interested to be the first to take over in case of another cancellation.

Please provide squadron website and logo. Thanks. Done. Thanks. You are team #9 therefore on top of the wait list. If any team pulls out, you'll take over. Thanks. You have taken the last single slot that was available and have joined Team Martini. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team composition, brackets and schedule available in the tournament widget, which can be found here: http://sa-sim.com/rfc1-brackets-order-of-battle-and-streams/ To all squadrons partaking in RFC, please provide final list of pilots (up to 10) on the 5th of April at the latest. Thanks. If anyone is interested and free on that weekend, apply for a reserve slot, nothing to lose and you might grab a slot. Wait list will be managed first applied first served. Thanks.

Thanks to all who signed up so far. Here is a preliminary bracket, please note that teams have been seeded based on current SA Rankings, therefore the brackets may change if the roster changes. Brackets will be finalized once all teams have firmed up their roster. Link---->http://sa-sim.com/rfc1-brackets-order-of-battle-and-streams/ Also, we are one slot away from a full roster and even once the roster is full, you’d still stand a good chance at snatching a seat if someone pulls out so do not hesitate to sign up for a reserve slot if interested.

Congratulations to 'rel4y' and thanks to all who took part in this betting contest!

Thanks for the support, guys! Yes, Tacview has come up lately with a bunch of great new features that are all worth considering, not sure there is enough time to test that out for this Saturday matchup though. If all goes well, we may well get an epic fight given the calibre of contestants taking part this time around. See you on Twitch!
