AVA challenge

[captain1ma]

I've been thinking about this for awhile. while JG54 doesn't have enough players to take on a large squad, a bunch of AVA players together have that ability.

my proposal: A AVA challenge to some of the larger squads. we get them in there and fight it out with them.

object: capture the flag! pick 2 bases close to each other, AVA players at one base, JGXXX(insert any large Squad name here) at the other base. object is to capture the other guys' base. mind you this would involve identical planes at both bases, GV'ing is fair game. this is not a strictly aerial battle but rather a battle of wits!

winner: gets 2 sheep and bragging rights.

what do you guys( All AVA regulars and new guys) think about this idea?

Lets do it!

Cool, but the purist in me asks could it be done with a closely matched AvA plane set rather than identical planes?

and listen to someone scream that the planeset was lopsided, even if it wasn't? i can think of better ways of aggravating myself. besides its only for an hour or 2, maybe less if someone captures the flag!

<edit> however i am always open to suggestions.

Ki84 and FM2...  We had a lot of fun last night

[grumpy37]

LOL  thats funny, it changed my squad name to score-potatoes on my signature.... 

[captain1ma]

you just can't outrun the Skuzzy Stick!

[grumpy37]

Yet they allow it in the arena......  SHHHHHHHHHHHH

[jimson]

So, we issue a challenge, AvA players vs so and so. Identical planes and they get a chance to prove AvA players aren't any better than MA players.

Might just work.

Let's not be too cocky in issuing the challenge, in case we get our butts handed to us.

I'll see what support I can drum up in the A8's.

I have no issue with getting my butt handed to me in a fair even fight.....  shows me where I really need to improve and I really think its the only thing at this point that will bring my game to the next level.

The Pigs will gladly fight against the AVA regulars.  Let me know.  I have no problem with working on the planesets and vehicles to get as close to real as possible.  My only suggestion to your challenge is that upon a flag capture the sides are switched to make the teams work both sides.  Say like a best of 3 matchup (even if it takes a couple of sessions to finish).  Deal?  If so, then let's start talking dates and times.

its not about proving anything, its about having fun.

whether or not we get our butts handed to us, who cares, its just a game.

Sounds like fun, count me in. Although I would prefer an Axis/Allied split with historical plane match-ups. After all that's what the AvA is all about. Just announce the plane set, arena settings, etc. and the same time of the challenge. That way any squad accepting the challenge knows up front what they'll be flying.

Don't fear the whiners. No matter how hard you try to make everyone happy there will always be a guy that can find something to complain about. Players who regularly fly in the arena can show what the AvA is all about by not getting drawn into that behavior.

[captain1ma]

well jimson has a point. we'll use historically matched up planes, and keep the playing field as level as possible.
