OFFICIAL DISCORD: https://discord.gg/wfhqcM9VkN

 

INTRO

 

Mutual Support is a 2v2 BVR Tournament. Naturally, the smaller team sizes often lead to more aggressive and interesting fights that are focused on solid mutual support.

Various editions of it will have various rulesets based on the approximate time era chosen; this edition is 1990s themed.

 

 

DATE AND TIME

This second edition of Mutual Support will start at 1930z on August 27th, 2021. The running time will be no greater than 3 hrs. If this is exceeded, the competition will be resumed one of the the following Saturdays at a similar time, based on the teams preference.

 

 

Registration ends on August 26th.

 

 

 

OBJECTIVES AND TOURNAMENT STYLE

Each match is conducted as best of three rounds. The objective is to destroy all enemy aircraft, and keep at least one of your aircraft flyable.

 

 

The competition is a knockout-style competition, with teams being eliminated after loosing a 3 round match. Time permitting, looser of the first round of fights will participate in a separate championship.

 

 

 

RULES

1. A single team may be comprised of as many pilots as desired; however, only two may be used at a time.
2. Only one pilot is allowed to change between rounds (note that for the F-14, changing RIOs is allowed as much as desired).
3. Aircraft types may not be changed between the individual rounds of a particular match. They can, however, be changed between matches.
4. All aircraft are allowed.
5. Mixed fleets of aircraft are allowed (e.g, one F-18C and one J-11A).
6. All spawns are air spawns separated by 80nm. There will be two arena's, so that two matches can occur simultaneously.
7. The competition will be on the Caucasus map.
8. Ping limit of 300 is server-enforced.
9. Lonewolfs are allowed; the pairings are to be decided automatically the day before the matchup, and will stay that way for the tournament. Alternatively, you may decide on the pairings yourselves; in that case, simply state the agreed pairings no later than the 26th.
10. AWACS will be present, but WILL NOT have datalink/EPLRS for link 16 jets enabled!
11. To keep the event running smoothly, I would ask that suggestions/questions be kept until the end of the event, unless they are relevant to/will affect the remaining rounds (e.g, concerns about excessive lag/rubber banding).
12. One squadron may enter up to 2 primary teams. Any further teams will be put on a reserve roster to allow space to accommodate more teams. If a team cannot show up, or registration is not full by registration end, reserve teams will be moved to the primary roster.
13. ECM is allowed.
14. Use of PH/ACT switch outside of 15nm is banned.
15. Use of the following exploits is prohibited: modifying sensor parameters via any means.
16. More Rules TBD.
