was wondering if you lot would like another squad vs squad DA session, last one was about 2 years ago and we rolled a number of ~12 vs 12 formation merges in different plane match ups. obviously the bravdo and bragging is wonderfull but the overall spirit was a fun fight and it worked.
think the only upset was one time when you guys killed our whole team like usual... except this time WMlute had joined for a round and he went ninja KOTH mode on ur asses, that was fun, for us :)
anyhow
this offer obviously extends to any squad who can put up a 8 man team or more that can meet on a weekend during GMT evening, EST afternoon.
the dueling ladder which has been recently restarted by the very generous effort and funding of Tw9, is going slowly but surely and is worth a look into if not just to test the waters and really find out what kind of pilot you are.
the ladder is also an age old concept and has been done many times before.
last time we set up this fight with the BKs we tried to suggest a squad dueling ladder but most opinions were that 4 vs 4 is the best for that or even 2 on 2 maximum.
i rekon in a game that delivers the option of 75 vs 75 fights even in the DA the true test of what would most represent real dogfighting is what we do in the MA....at times.....there really should be a squad vs squad ladder.
at some times the squad mentality of the main arenas is a real pain in the ***, hordes and the like, which are just as much caused by large squads as by spineless deffence efforts i might add, causing the 8+ man formation to be a pointless item far from the reason we should play, for fun and mostly equal fights.
this should hopefully give a better reason to fly well with a group of your squaddies against an even number of opponents , maybe teach some of the less inclined to fight a few things. i know that if the 10 people whining about hordes all upped a spit8 or f4uc instead of typing they would find the horde had suddenly become a fight again. then they might realise that it was them that caused the horde giving up the first time they got into a 2 on 1.
the fickle score cards on the home page of this site... i for one would far rather see the months winner for the 1 on 1 ladder and the squad VS squad ladder that the same 20 people over and over, which is never going to change, no one else is trying for it. no offense intended to you fellows who do play for rank, i only speak my own mind and do not suppose to enforce yours.
um....yeah so Blue Knights vs 71 sqn even number fights this weekend on a day to be decided by popular demand. we ready to get our butts kicked again but like last time we will take most of you with us each round
so what say you bold knights in blue?
S!
-
Any of the BKs still flying? I thought most of them retired...
-
When i came back and before i quit again... Furb told me a few ancients were coming back...Guess not though inless in shades.

[cast]
i rekon they would after this challenge, rekon thems all lost the salt?
i know of at least 8 BKs that still fly more often than i do, or at least the the very same times i do. but man, they gunna need some of the other to come out of retirement, last time they had dipstick, furball, slapshot, morpheus, and some that didnt shoot me down, they gunna need more than that, or at least equal, this time i would wager
[/splash]
*smokes*
ah...
mm, coffee
[reel]
should be a very go laugh no matter what, one that will happen is 75% of the planes are going to go down within 1 min of the 12 vs 12 merge. and i know the BKs will do this type of fight like no other squad ive experinced
[/wiggle]
dont forget squads with low numbers can make a challenge too, the only precident is the challenger and challenged would always have equal ammount of planes for the bout.
-
I think the C HAWKS could field a team but I think we mostly fly later US prime time. I know we got a squad vsquad thing going once whil i was away from the game. Good stuff!
-
goose we accept, :D tell me the best hours, weekend days and the team number and ill get the same number for this weekend if it goes off!
BKs can still come and more, i wanted to invite them cos we did it before and it was the best fun being shot down i can remember apart from vulching tbms.
get as many teams of 8 together for this week end as possible and have some knock out rounds
if more show up we would increase teams members per team to 12, to stay clear of the warping level of furball.
how does sunday around 6-7pm by your time sound?
-
i dont think we have that many sticks in our squad that want to do this but sounds like alot of fun i would be willing to try it out just so i can kill bat :P
-
*signs up for 71 squadron team*
although bat, how about if the BK's can't field a big enough team?
perhaps we create two teams, the A team, and Team 1
anyone can join any team, but have to be approved by the leader of each team, and the teams want to have the best pilots they can get...
we do 3 rounds each week on a saturday or sunday evening, best of two is champion for the week. next weak the chapions have to defend thier title.
if the championship becomes popular we create more teams and have a 3 or 4 way battle royale :D 12 to a team, leaders want to pick the best pilots they can get their filthy hands on ;)
i'd be up for it, it'd be a great fight, 2/3/4 teams of the best stick in AH, all diving into a furball in formation together.
-
We might be able to get 6 that would tangle! We usually only have 6 on at a time, tops! I'll check and see if they're interested.

If HOing isn't allowed on the initial merge, count me out.
Can't speak for the other Blue Princesses...seeing as I never speak to them.
-
we can always do A flight vs B flight in a pinch.....:aok
I'm sure we'd field 15 or more no problem....let me know if we've got room on the end of the bench for me.....
-
BK's either need to field a team or Drex needs to show up. Drex WAS (is?) a squadron.

Sorry but Drex can't take place in this adventure. Recently, he became attraction in Madame Tussauds wax museum in Las Vegas. Think if you look under "L" in celebrity lineup, he's listed under "Liberace"...
Long live Drex!

Our Ancient Ones have mostly all retired again. We've had 5 guys on a few nights lately, but you can't get more than 2 into one arena. It's like herding cats with a vacuum cleaner.
Slapshot and kamiltoe just milkrun in MW with dedalos (they're vulching each other to get good ranks this tour), and although grmrpr and xdak are flying more, they won't talk to us either. It's mostly just me and jaxxo.
-
something something something.... 4-4 or 6-6 whatever, with squadmates, Mark, count me in I guess :aok

ok this week end we'll do a trial run with random teams maximum 12 aside, then after that, spread of some different fields in DA
if it all goes well then we might start the ladder idea. beauty of the ladder could be that it doesnt matter if its 2 on 2 or 12 on 12, the challenge is accepted and matched to the tem that provides the lower number. can sub squadmates on between rounds. cannont be 1 on 1 to represent your squad as its about how you work together.
the fight must be two formations in head on merge, no congas.
2 mins flight to the middle, 2 min fight, next round.
best of 5 rounds
all plane, fuel, merge alt rules to be decided at the start of each round and agreed.

Possible, have to talk to the crew and see what the response is. We have squad night Sunday....hmmmm PM me or any C HAWK in game.

I am sure to be there ... and if there isn't room for me I believe my wife left her ole cheerleadin costume around here somewhere. Wonder if it would fit ....

I guess I could make good cannon fodder for the AOM. :D

ok google king :p
try not googling this one, and see if you can come up wiht a general idea what movie :D

hold a place for 367th, will have to speak to CO fisrt but we regularly enjoy the DA.
:aok
-
edit: yeah hubs, but you and jaxxo make the start of a dangerous team. would be great of some of the other came along also, the BKs a probably the largest and most feared pure furballers in the game, would be good to see some numbers.
OK listen up all Squad duelers.
the Practice round will be held in the Dueling Arena this sunday at 18:00 hours EST
everybody is welcome and the first few fights will be random teams.
our squadron should be able to bring about 6-8 guys so if any other squads can field small teams we will then move on to a practice round for the ladder, under squad colours.
although 4 on 4 is still fun, i cant stress enough how much of a different fight 12 on 12 is. :eek:
should be good
S!

I would join and fight, but I'll be gone this weekend. :cry

This would be fun let me know the dates. Maybe it will get me motivated to fly again. I just got tired of lack of fighting to log in as much as I used to.
Even with HTs valiant changes to increase fighting, it was sad to see the majority of the community not get it and whail about not being able to milk run and horde. In a way it is sad this community has taken a turn away from fighting each other and more about fighting inanimate pixels.
When I log in MW and there are only 17 people in there, say 9 knights, 12 rooks and 2 Bish. To find the 12 Rooks hitting the 2 bish makes we want to puke. Sad statement about the community really. And no this is not a Rook, Knight, Bish thing. Just the scenario I see most of the time from all sides and in all arenas.
It's a shame really, for there was a time when all people did was fight each other all the time and it was good.
I am still waiting for FTs to be incorporated, not holding my breath tho.
