Title: Combat Challenge Series - 2014
Post by: Nefarious on December 30, 2013, 11:51:12 PM
Combat Challenge is now going to be a regular feature between two-week off periods of FSO.

It will be a host to historical fighter vs fighter match-ups using SEA terrains of the time and period. The objective will be for the two sides to engage in air combat and shoot down enemy aircraft.

This will be an FSO squad and Walk-on friendly event. All are welcome and it is not mandatory for FSO Squads. This event will take place at regular FSO time at 11PM EST and will run the standard FSO length of 2 hours. It will be unlimited lives in the span of the two hours. All four aircraft will be enabled at T+60. Flight will be disabled at T+120, logs will remain open till all pilots are down.

Using the logs as a record, Points will be recorded for pilots and squads. The scoring will work as follows.

Enemy Kill    =   01 Point
Friendly Kill  =  -02 Points

These points will be recorded and kept over the entire year of 2014. Leader boards in various statistics will be displayed at ahevents.org.

Fly what side you want, but I may ask some guys to switch if it becomes to much of an issue, but most importantly have fun!

Nefarious,

This is a hit! I really had fun last night. I overcame my CHALLENGES to have a really good time. I believe that most folks did as well. The action was a little slow initially. But after the first 15 minutes or so, the battles were raging all over. Continuous action all the way to the end. Thanks for spending the time to create a great new hit event.  :aok

 :cheers:

My Favorite kill of the night.

Appears to just be some sort of in-squad tomfoolery. It was probably his minor grandson at the controls.
Altough I think this event is just for fun and junior conducts himself well most of the time, I will mention the difference between SEA and Mains to him. In the Mains a trouble maker can make things interesting. In the SEA they often get shown the door.
I wonder if he did not want to face Greyga and our fellow squaddie Stresser :bolt:

Friendly fire will negatively effect his score and his squads overall score. I'm sure Friendly fire incidents will not be this excessive in the future.

No. But you might get recorded as the best sortie flown of the night. These are some of the Scores and Stats that will be recorded.

- Overall Scores
- Overall Kills
- Overall Allied Kills
- Overall Axis Kills
- Overall Squad Scores
- Overall Squad Kills
- Best K/D Ratio
- Best Sortie Landed

There are some more that might get added as gameplay develops, but these will be the first.

Old eyes completely missed that this is a full on effort to fill in some gaps in the calender or that it is scored. I think you may have created something that will be around for a while. <S> Nefarious

Let's hope so.   :aok Even though I had only the one assist, it's still one of the most fun nights I've had in the SEA.
