Scoring and Records
 
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 recorded here for individual pilots and squads.

http://ahevents.org/leaderboard.html

OVERALL, ALLIED AND AXIS PILOT POINTS
OVERALL, ALLIED AND AXIS PILOT KILLS
OVERALL SQUAD KILLS
OVERALL SQUAD POINTS
OVERALL PILOT KILLS TO DEATHS
OVERALL BEST LANDED SORTIE
 
Overall Rules and Guidelines
 
- Avoid Friendly fire at all costs. Your score will be penalized with NO exceptions. Habitual Fratricide or specific targeting of friendlies will result in immediate ejection from the event.
- Aircraft will only be enabled at designated fields.
- You may Rearm or Land at any Friendly Field.
- Fly what aircraft and side you want or feel free to switch, but I may ask some guys to switch sides if numbers
become to much of an issue.
- Have fun.

Good luck to all pilots! <S>

What you need to know going into Combat Challenge V!

That this is anybody's series to win! The fields for each side are much closer than combat Challenge IV. The Faster later war stuff will cover that ground quick and the potential to rack up a lot of victories is out there!

Let's take a look at the top 3 in each category.

Best K/D Ratio - These three pilots have not been killed by enemy yet. There is another pilot who is deathless. But this is the top 3. This will also be based on attendance, players with more Challenges flown will be ranked in different categories than players who flew in less, the trophy will go to the pilot with the highest K/D over the MOST frames flown.

Starting at 4am GMT is a little bit of a slap in the face, just what I need to stay awake for it I hope.

Good concept, good idea.

Pretty fun.

I think the bases were too far apart, (I saw nothing red in the first 35mins, 10mins right over a spawn field too) 10 miles closer to the each other would be perfect.

There was a LA7 and Yak3 that definitely knew it was "combat" challenge.
Big <S> to them for fighting.

Worth seeing the sun rise for.

Flight began at 21:59 and the first kill was recorded was 22:12:50, So there was action early within 15 minutes. I watched on Bish Radar, The Allies flew more or less directly to A56, while the Axis appeared to rally and I can only assume climb in between 137 and 56 to prepare for the fight. I'm assuming this had to to do with the Allied aircraft that excel at lower alts against the Axis aircraft that perform well up high.

I'm not here to dictate the fight beyond the choices of aircraft, everything else is up to the players.

Correct.  Well a good part of the Axis did.  I rallied my 109's out of A137, with my 190's out of A56.  Calls for help from A56 were coming in just as we rallied, about 15 minutes into the flight.

Had a good time last night for sure.

The only thing I hated was getting vultched heading to the rearm pad!  :furious

Of course...now I know how all those guys in the MA feel when I do it to them.  And as always the only one to blame when you get vultched is your own drunken self.  :aok

Good fun, Nef!
