Been reading "The Jolly Rogers" by Tom Blackburn who had VF-17.

Man, they had some great furballs up near Rabaul in F4U-1A vs Zekes.

Could be interesting. Think about one like that using our -1D and the Zeke.

Here's my suggestion for the next Rumble rules: http://www.hut.fi/u/vpitkane/LLv34/34vs5/duelrules.htm

Those are the rules that we used in our LLv34 vs 5 GIAP duel some time ago.  Here's the first part of the "engagement plan", in all its simpleness:

Engagement plan:

-Both teams form up and grab 15k over their base
-Icons must be turned off at this point
-All pilots turn film on at this point, off when frame over
-both teams call "ready at 15k"
-teams head for eachother at 15k until at dot range
  -> teams can not begin maneuvering / climbing before dot range
-one plane per pilot per frame - replaning forbidden


I tried to write the rules so that there is no room for "interpreting".  With some tweaking maybe this could be used as a base for the ROE?

BTW sorry but I'm outta the rumble. Have had enough with this one.

If the second goes OK then I'll think in taking part on the third. But for now I'm out.

Camo,

Um... define "dot range"... who's dot range?

These are the details that can cause problems.

It would be best to either forget about altitude limits, or do as was suggested in another thread, pick a quadrant or two and call those as "open".  IE line everybody up in the adjecent quadrants at 15k, then call "go" and as soon as you cross into the square anything goes.

The best idea IMHO is to start everybody on the ground... no limits.  Everybody must be OTR with film running when GO is called.  After that, those that survive win.  You can disable re-planes and forbid folks to exit a certain area.  I would also set a time limit on it... a far-out one, but something to keep folks from trying the "take a pony with full fuel and run until they are all out of gas" trick.

How's this sound?:

Both teams form up OTR at designated field.
All pilots must turn film on before "roll" is called.
All pilots must stay within a specified area.
Replanes will not be allowed.
Time limit of 30 minutes.

Anybody see a way to "game" this?  I can see two possible ways.  Fuel and Ack.

Hopefully the time limit will discourage the fuel game.  The time could be changed if desired.

One side could TRY and hug ack I guess... but I don't think this would be a great tactic.  If you dive down low enough to be in ack, you are in serious toejam anyway and they will eventually get you.  

Comments?

That sounds great to me Lephturn and Camo. No hot/cold pass - so no merge distinctions to be made. Fights on when roll is called... anything goes after that.

I *think* ack can be turned off. Just throw the switch on ack at the same time ya throw the no re-up switch. Not sure...

Is there a ceiling though? And regarding the fuel issue, is there anything we could do to discourage that kind of tactic (let them come to us, we'll play cat and mouse till they drop)? Perhaps we find a suitable area of the map with a landmark in the middle. All planes should make a good faith effort to be near it within' a certain time from rolling.

I dunno... but lets make this one bullet proof. Keep em comin'.
