Overall thought the CC was pretty fun. TBH, I sorta liked not having a dot radar. This prevented planes be-lining it to the red dot to gang and dog pile. It gave you the opportunity to escape the fight for a second if you could get out without having the other team track you down. I enjoyed the plane match ups.

Only thing I'd maybe ask to change is the rolling kill count. Perhaps keep the landed victory, but I think it keeps it more real to not show everyone being shot down.

I've very surprised the allied didn't use more 38s in the first hour. They are one of the 109g2s biggest rivals with its E management in the BnZ, I felt allied would have had a better showing as most of the spit9s were getting low and slow in the turn fights on the deck.

Anyway I certainly enjoyed it and thanks for hosting!

Violator,

Thank you so much for your comments and observations!

To ensure that we heard you:

  • Turn off Dot DAR. Maybe sector countors instead.
  • You liked the match-ups.
  • Can do without the kill messages. Maybe just kills landed.

I think those were your points. Again, thanks for providing your feedback, it is always welcome.

I agree with you on the 38s. But, the Lightning is a beast that is persnickety. It takes a lot of discipline to fight in it the way you suggest. It is a mutual support fighter and they work better in pairs. Turn and burn is not its forte and will result in many death, just check my score to see the truth.  :D

We hope to hear from others as well and we look forward to "COMBAT CHALLENGE XLIII".

We'll be working to get the leaderboard up soon.

Cheers!

Yes thank you! I think a darbar would be good just to show people where the area of action is. Regarding match ups. It's always good to have a good mix of turn n burn + Bnz style aircraft around the same time period. Especially if they both fought each other in the real war. Just things to consider, normally the special events team is good with their match ups.

Big thanks for doing the leader board update! I think it ups the level of competitiveness, gives you something to strive for, shows more stats, and recognizes players/squads. Some may care, some may not, but I always enjoyed it in past.
