Tour 66 “Worthless Planes” Contest.
« on: July 01, 2005, 02:21:48 PM »
Rules:
Winner is player who has highest MA fighter rank.
Fighter Rank must be comprised of kills in ONLY Spit-I, Hurri-I, P-40B & C202.
Fighter Rank must consist of at least 100 kills.
No more than 50% of kills may be in one type.
A minimum of 15 kills must be earned in each type.
Kills of GVs in types will not disqualify player, but they do not help build fighter score.

Note: If you wish to participate, switch all of your favorite plane type modes to attack.  Fly your favorite planes in attack mode all you want, just be sure to not fly anything but Spit-I, Hurri-I, P-40B & C202 in fighter mode.  (Do not fly 262 and Yak-U, etc, as they only are available in fighter mode.)

Am I missing anything?

I'd think a 'Hello Kitty' reference of some sort would pull more guys in. :)

Actually, there are a few more early war birds that are missing. Are you just running with the no-cannon birds, or are these your top 4 gimps on their own merits (or lack thereof)?

These 4 planes typically have the worst K/D of all fighters.  
Most importantly, they are available in fighter mode only, which is what makes this contest possible.

All but one player burnt out in the last contest, would it be better to make it a minimum of 10 kills per type and a minimum of 50 kills?

Why dont you just make it a flat "15 kills per type"?  Thats 60 kills, and no worries about what plane makes up what percentage of the kills.

Sounds good to me

New Rules:
Winner is player who has highest MA fighter rank.
Fighter Rank must be comprised of kills in ONLY Spit-I, Hurri-I, P-40B & C202.
A minimum of 15 kills must be earned in each type.
Kills of GVs in types will not disqualify player, but they do not help build fighter score.

Note: If you wish to participate, switch all of your favorite plane type modes to attack.  Fly your favorite planes in attack mode all you want, just be sure to not fly anything but Spit-I, Hurri-I, P-40B & C202 in fighter mode.  (Do not fly 262 and Yak-U, etc, as they only are available in fighter mode.)

I need something different to do this camp, I'll compete in this contest. Sounds like fun. Can we have a bonus category though? Whoever kills the most Lgay7's in any of those 4 rides wins a hero cookie?

There is one major problem with basing this on fighter rank; many players will have all ready flown a fighter sortie before they find this thread/contest.

Even Newer Rules: .
Winner is player who has best combined K/D in 6 types TIMES total kills in the 6 types.
Types are ONLY Spit-I, Hurri-I, P-40B, A6M-2, 109E-4 & C202.
A minimum of 10 kills must be earned in each type.

Players must post their own math at the end of the Tour/Contest

Example of score reporting:
Player name
Spit-I – 10/10
Hurri-I – 10/10
P-40B – 10/20
A6M-2 – 15/5
109E-4 – 15/5
C202 – 20/10
Total – 80/60

80/60 = 1.33333 K/D
1.33333 K/D times 80 kills = 106.667
Player name score = 106.667

Please let this thread die; the original rules can’t be edited.  Respond to the “Tour 66 “Worthless Planes” Contest, With Prize!” thread.
