These are the rules that many of my friends agree upon as standard. This was also posted in Adonai's thread.
Bragging Right Rules
One-versus-One Standard Bout Rules:
- If you challenge someone, he has the choice of the first round plane set.
- The fuel will be 25% unless otherwise stated as being a handicap for a particular contestant.
- If someone loses a wing, tail, or engine, the round is over.
- Only two guys to a dog fight.
- Only one dog fight at a time.
- The winner of a round has the choice of the next plane set.
- Both contestants must get a fresh plane before the next round.
- The bout winner will be best out of five rounds.
- Rounds must start Co Alt and Co E before the initial merge. This means no going above the agreed altitude before the initial merge in order to gain more E then your opponent, but you may dive under your opponent once you are in icon range.
- No Head-Ons on the initial merge.
- No rams.
- If you get more then 2K from your opponent while your plane’s nose is pointed away from him, you lose that round. If both contestants are nose away, that round is forfeit. This includes altitude.
- Any modifications of the Standard Bout Rules must be noted in text upon take-off of the first round, and both contestants must agree in text before the initial merge of the first round. This includes any fuel handicaps.
i agree
but one thing i think is if there is a close HO on first merge its only about who can turn there plane faster,
i belive its all in that first merge, setting up that merge for a saddle or a non duel gun solution,
does that make sense?
that's what i do anyway,
