Black Sea ShowDown - General Information

Posted by Case in the 169th Forums 8th March 2008 http://169thpanthers.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=91

Hi guys,

We had a very good turnout in our server today after the meeting. I think we topped at 45, but it may have actually been higher. After talking with =SE=blackG and =RvE=Fusion, we invited them to join us next week and asked them to join up with other squadrons and plan to achieve certain objectives.

=SE= is going to invite the -4c- squadron to join them on red, and =RvE= will join the 169th on blue and is going to invite the newly formed <51> squadron to join blue as well. With these 5 squadrons alone we probably get close to 25 players and we hope more squadrons and pilots will join.

Mission planning is done per squadron and between squadrons on the same side.

So after the squadron meeting next week, March 15th, 21:30Z, all hell will break loose in the 169th server!

Case

Everyone is free to participate. Our server will is set to handle 72 clients. So first in best dressed.

Reminder that besides your starting plane you have been assigned, you can pick other empty plane positions to spawn in if they are empty. You cannot however spawn at a different plane or airbase unless you land first.

There are a lot of good pilots flying on both sides. It should be a great match with lots of Teamwork

Salute!

Mission Description:

169th Black Sea Battle Map - Red vs. Blue, No AWACS available. The winning team will be the team to score the most points at the end of the 3 hour event. See this post for a listing of points used . The mission used for the event is the same Black Sea Battle map running on the 169th server for the previous 2 weeks prior the match. There will be NO changes to the mission during these 2 weeks. The mission is available to fly offline and practice by joining the 169th server and saving the mission to your local hard drive. Statistics and scoring for the event are tracked and will be posted on the 169th forum after each event. Mission Start time (Virtual) will be 11:30 AM. Mission will remain on "Pause" until all players are ready to start as monitored by the server admin.

Match Rules

- Re-spawning is allowed. Remember though that aircraft losses adversely affect the end result. In other words, look after your ride.

- Assigned player slots can be changed between pilots of the same team, if agreed between both pilots.

- Assigned player slots can be changed to an empty slot at anytime (see below).

- You cannot quit your flight intentionally during the event for any reason. This includes pilots wanting to spawn at a different airbase. You must land first!

- All pilots must land BEFORE the end of the event. A notification will be given when there are 10 minutes left in the event. Any pilot still in the air at the end of the event will be counted as a loss and any points obtained by that pilot during that last flight will be revoked.
