Title: Next Week in the AVA--Tankwarz/Dogfightz
Post by: captain1ma on August 10, 2011, 01:38:57 PM
Next weeks setup is going to be this:

Tankwarz/Dogfightz

Map--Guadalcanal by USranger
Comms:
Axis--123
Allies--123

This setup is a combination of Tankwarz and Dogfighting. we are asking you, the public to pick the planes you would like to see in a 1 on 1 match-up. base capture is encouraged, however if you capture all the bases, i will reset it back to normal. the map has close bases and spawns with short runs to each base. that's why i chose this. This is not a PAC setup but rather a map with close spawns. This setup is to encourage both GV battles and dogfights. have fun with it and I'm open to any and all suggestions. Carriers will be out of play. ***AIRCRAFT AT VBASES***

Planes:
Day 1(Friday) C202 Vs P40E
Day 2 (Saturday)F4F VS a6m2
Day 3 (Sunday)P47D11 Vs FW190A5
Day 4 (Monday)TBA***
Day 5 (Tuesday)TBA***
Day 6 (Wednesday)TBA***

No icons below 200. Is that below an alt of 200ft or distance from target below D200?  Can you turn off icons for GVs entirely? (since that is a big whine of GV drivers in the MA you might be able to draw some new people in if GV icons seen from planes are turned off, then advertise on the general topic forum) 

Plane match up of SBD vs stuka, just to be different and maybe encourage supporting the GVs.

I believe the EnemyLowIconRange affects any enemy below the radar alt. I believe the default is 4500 (1.5k yards) and is why GV icons show at 1.5k. Having this variable set to 0 should turn off icons for low-flying aircraft and ALL GV's (unless it's that guy's jeep that flew off the cliff - but then it would disappear once he's below 200' AGL).

Nice to see dweebiness creeping back in the AvA...  camping the runways and 3 v 1...

Feels like old times.  You might see me in here more.  :aok

heh, well Shane it didn't start out as a 3vs1, maybe you just got caught up in the tail end of it..but whatever man.

 I was hoping you would stick around, there was opportunities there for some good 1vs1 fights too.

I for one, kind of use you as a measuring stick. I don't know if you remember, but you spent some time with me years ago in the DA and I really sucked.

But... I did listen and learn, and for that I thank you.

At any rate, logging in a huff was....well...un-shane- like.  You okay?

ehhh... i managed to get up and head away from the base... had a high 202 come after me, no big deal.... started to engage then next thing i know i have 3 202's on me... i didn't log in a huff, that was meou and jaeger  :aok  i logged shortly after because there were only 3-4 people left and seemed to be in GV or something (part of the setup)...

just decided i'd rather deal with 6 v 1 in MA than 3 v 1 in AvA  :noid

now up F4F Vs A6M2

T-349(85) will be added to the allied tank line-up on monday, thanks for the suggestion.

Mossie VS P38J probable in the line-up for next week

no.  just. no.

AvA is AvA, it's not the DA.  This would be a perversion even more than than "jet week."

Is the P-38 going to have Luftwaffe markings to simulate one that was captured and flown by a German pilot?   :O

KI84 vs P51

spitV vs 109f or g2

yak vs g6

p39? vs a6m?

C205 vs p47/38

p38j/l v niki/frank

f6f vs a6m5 or tony

la5/7 vs 109g6/14

spit9 v 190a5

spitxvi v 109k

p47m v 109d/ta152

Mosquito VI vs P-38J???  That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Do something like Mosquito Mk VI vs Bf110G-2 or P-38G vs Bf110G-2 or P-38J vs Bf110G-2.  You know, AvA?


Would Bf109K-4 vs Spitfire Mk XVI or Bf109K-4 vs Spitfire Mk XIV be better?

at the time there werent alot of possible matchups by the community, so i was taking what came in. however it caused such a stir, that people started making better suggestions. Mission accomplished.  ill use something else instead.  I'm very surprised at Shane's comments in this thread and the other thread, he's usually not that condescending. must be a bad hair day for him.

as for me leaving in a huff, we were going to the FSO anyway, and i didn't want to listen to shane whine about getting ganged by a party of one. You're a really good stick, Shane! whining like that just doesn't become you. you beat the snot out of most people(myself included) and even if it was three on one, you probably killed 2 of them. 3V1  Vs 6V1 in the MA's? and you prefer killing baby seals in the MA's vs killing people with better skills in the AVA? Really shame?!! i thought better of you.

this is how the week will finish:

Day 3 (Sunday)P47D11 Vs FW190A5
Day 4 (Monday)F4U-1A Vs KI-61
Day 5 (Tuesday)Spit5 Vs bf109F
Day 6 (Wednesday)P38j VS Nik1
Day 7 (Thursday)F6F VS KI-84

Today:
Allies got the firefly, and the T34-85
Axis got the wirblewind, panther, tiger2.


thanks to everyone for making suggestions and comments. i hope you have fun with it, for the rest of the week. this is what this game is all about. having fun!

Good plane sets Jeager and nice work on the overall concept. I really like flying a different aircraft each day and the focus on a specific plane vs. plane match up is cool too.

Great fight Friday night man; it doesn't get much better than that  :aok
