ok we got a tournemant for sim and arcade il host one for realistic
 

beat me in a 1v1 realistic cta match
no prizes im skint sorry but you will be known as a very good pilot i remain undefeated in 1v1 realistic cta

looks like no1 wants to do it and i cant be assed if no1s going to be interested so some mod please lock it if no1 signs up by tomorow

I'll play you on CTA realistic sometime, but it doesn't sound like much of a tournament :)

ok lol =ahh sod it its not lol
ok new plane (i mean plan :D) in 2 weeks i will hold a 12 player deathmatch on realistic all planes are alowed map will be the most voted for sign up here

Im in :D
Dover for the map.

btw i think this will be the first non arcade game with this many players

Count me in haitch. My vote goes to dover-THE greatest map of all time.

everyone likes britain then
btw the match will take place 5pm gmt sunday 2 weeks from now

Haitch you can count me (drkdeath5000) and oceanx in, were on every night so count us in ! We'll also go with dover for the map :). Also, if you can haitch how about renaming this topic to realistic tournament something along those lines. Just it doesnt seem to be getting much interest atm i almost missed it myself :D. Saying that though the majority playing IL2 seem to be arcade fans, i tried something similar with running a realistic tourny but had no luck. I have an actual ladder site, where scores can be recorded and challenges made but there was just no interest so i dont know. If we get any more realistic fans interested i might just put my tourny site back up but as it stands i just dont see enough playing realistic. Some nights we wait upto 40 mins just to get a game started and then half way through everyone leaves :(.

Got another one to add Sneaky_pete_5000 so i think thats 7 so far. Come on guys, put your names down ! And Haitch if possible why dont we make this into a sort of mini tourny, three 20 min team games and a seperate 20 min DM (DM with seperate scoreboard). If we get over 12 oceanx should be able to run 16 since hes got a pretty solid connection.
And Haitch can you just confirm time and date is - Sunday 6th December, 5 pm GMT
Thanks

yes that is right
btw i might copy some of edals tournies in future for realistic

ok make it a mini torny make 20 min tdm then 20min cta then 20 min strike im not doing scoring though cos i cant be assed with that

Where's the sim tournament?

Sticky thread at the top (or near the top) of this board...

Looks like I missed it.

I'll try the Realistic one if there's any places left.

PSN: tagemandbagem

There's possibly a place to join the on-going sim one... I think haitch wants to leave it if someone can replace him.

Talk to haitch and/or edal :)

Sounds good :) I can hoast no probs and an informal mini torny sound good ill add pignouf-67 ...if i may be so bold as to name our team...Team A comprising of Death , Sneaky ,Pignouf,and moi .So will another 4 play us in 3 rounds of 20 mins. Round 1 CTA ..round 2 tdm..round 3 strike .Best of 3 wins the match .So kick off 5pm London time. If another match was hoasted at the same time ..the winners could play each other in the grand final. if all we got is 8 players then match 1 becomes the final i guess. Hope im not being too presumtuous, I just wana get the ball rolling... Realistic needs an injection of something so well done Haitch..;)

also i l do a 20 min free for all death match
btw can i change the time to 4pm its gona be stretching my time otherwise
btw i might not invite some of you because i cant remember every1 so just look for realistic tdm match at 4pm gmt

Its Friday .....I got 4 people ready to play 4 other people ....are there 4 out there or are we alone in the realistic universe what about u Vas fellas can u put 4 realistic people together at 5 pm Sunday London time for 3 games = 1 hour flying time .....we shall be playing as a team together on sunday for the first time so were hardly a well oiled killing machine ....if this proves impossible then il2 really is becoming microscopic in the gameing world...so somebody anwser this challenge and lets get 1 competitive match played

Would love too, but I'm not about all weekend. :(
You should start your own thread though, as more people will read it that way

I'm in on the VAS side, if there are any others that can commit? :)

I need to be done by 8ish though... (GMT)

(clarification needed) So it sounds like the Realistic tourney will be at 1600 instead of 1700 GMT Sunday 6th.

I will hoast the match of Team A verus Vas clan & whome ever elce steps forward at 1700gmt Sunday. Compliments to InfinateStates for offering to play now we need 3 more. I say again 5pm london time & no probs being finished for 8 pm....So sign up here so there's clarity, for time to the match is short.

ok 4pm gmt would be best i need to be done by 6pm gmt
yes vas v everyone else sounds good
there will be a free for all deathmatch at the end for some slaughtering

How about we run these seperate so it suits everyones time schedule better, so haitch you run your DM at 4pm London time and oceanx will run the team mini tourny at 5pm London time. Would that not be better ?

Just to clarify the list of names that will be playing in either games(s):
haitch40
infiinitestates
p-51
Ghillied Raptor
me (drkdeath5000)
oceanx
pignouf-67
Sneaky_pete_5000

and if you guys can find a team b to battle our team a that would be great :D

Id be happy to join the VAS team. Although i will be on the other team if im needed :D

trator :P

ok sounds good i need all matches to be done by 6pm though or my mum becomes mental person lol

Thanks Death for bringing clarity....I will hoast the match team A verus team B at 5pm,and some one elce will hoast the event at 4 pm....simples....so we need 2 more pilots to commit and join InfinateStates & p-51 .....its 3 games of 20 mins so it will take an hour and a bit .....2 more names and we got ourselves a friendly match............consider this a test case to see how much interest there is in competetive matchs in Realistic......there is the possibillity of running a full blown structured league with teams playing on a regular basis .....right now there are simply not enough commited players, we are struggling to get 2 teams for 1 game ,just 8 people..............perhaps down the road post patch etc but i may be dreaming.

we need something like edals torny for realistic
btw this should boos realistic popularity

We've got 8 people... In my experience any games bigger than that tend to lag unless you get really lucky with the host. Has anyone shown they can host games bigger than 8 players without lag? I've only ever seen one 12 player match hosted well...

Well if this turns out to be worthwhile i can always fix up a real tourny site, im actually a web designer/developer so i could fix something up no probs. Ive got something in beta stage already but lack of interest has kind of stopped me from putting in any real effort. We'd need regular games, and absolute commitment, id even fix up something for sim and arcade too although my commitments are with realistic.

The more players the better, im sure ocean could host 16 although he's never tried every other games he can usually host max players and it runs nice and smooth, lag free.

Even better if we got enough players we could run games simultaneously, not only that 16 could get a little crazy especially in cta.

Anyway above 8 and im dreaming :rolleyes:

ok do something like this every week till we get enough people to do something like that

my bit went ok but
1. half the people didnt turn up
2. half the people playing just found the game by chance

other than that it was the most fun i have had in ages

And then we played oceanx's games...I already vowed not to join his games again and now I remember why. The team deathmatch was fun, and if it wasn't for drdeath we would have slaughtered them, although to be fair they had a random guy.

But the CTA game was a standard issue whoring match - 1 airfield 5 second respawn. My least favourite game mode in the entire game. But whatever, everyone is in the same boat with that, although the match tends to be first to capture wins, so very boring.

Then the strike game - another whoring match. Our team are at sea with 3 ship targets, while they are on land with 12 targets. So all things being equal, a B17 getting to targets is hugely at an advantage against the ships, because all the tickets are in fewer targets. But on top of that, oceanx chose an arado and just kept kamikaze flying into the targets. Even if we had resorted to the same low tactic, we would still lose because of the target distribution.

If you're going to go to the effort of organising a match, make it good. Well played haitch and reaper (P51). And well played drdeath - you're a beast with those La7 cannons. Shame about your teammate's sportmanship.

And christ, realistic is sooo tedious to fly after sim - constant stalling because you don't have control of your flaps. Not once do I stall in sim (when my wings are intact) but doing the same moves in realistic is a nightmare. Whatever "autoflap" code there is doesn't work very well...

Thanks mate! You flew well too :D

Will have to be another one of these, next time i think ill get a smaller aircraft than a B-17 in CTA lol. I did get a few nice kills though and managed to use the front turret to shoot the Stuka down like i was flying a spit or something :D i got completely owned in the Team deathmatch.. though to be fair i did get 5 kills in a FW 190. Next time we play i think a hurricane will work alot better. :cool:

Yes it was fun, a blast . My compliments to Haitch and p-51 whome gave us some of the toughest games we,ve played ..especially the cta game that could have gone either way ..myself & death thaught u fellas were outstanding & that b17 was effective & halarious......I was useless in tdm but Death was a 1 man airforce ..19 kills just awesome but routine for Death.....so yeagh Death won that game,I just happened to be on the right team.....we got lucky in strike and used the right tactics no more no less....evreyone done thier job a team victory .......the scores misrepresent just how close the games were so well done Vas clan u guys are without doubt the best we have played.
The negitives .. yes we failed to drum up 4 players ,our 4th guy had time zone conondrums ...I wana thank the random who filled in ,and what a random...thanks DUNDIK...I might add Vas also only had 3 guys but this was handled well by both sides.....Our teammate Pignouf-67 was late but made up for it by playing so well & bringing that b17 to the party...Tres bon...
Obviously all we could muster after all our talking was 6 players total.....this is our current reality.......and that was the real purpose of the excercise.......Death has an incredible facility to run a first rate league online but for now anyway thats that im afraid, at least in my opinion anyways.
Finally im forced to deal with this Infinatestates diatribe.....i will restrain from my real taughts because obviously we are dealing with a child ...infact a crybaby whome simply is a bad bad loser...Myself & Death laughed so much in TDM and lost count of the amount of bailouts and deliberate crashs to avoid being killed, it was so blatent it was funny... when the patch comes its all over for u sunshine..a crash will be a minus kill...we were able to laugh cause we still won despite your cheating.....this is what happens when a players ego exceeds his ability back to the positive Infinatestates has promised never to play on my server again ..I will miss him like leprosey and were gona hold you to never playing realistic again.
And all the settings in all the games were default with 20 min games ,,i took screenshoots just incase we had a cryer....it must have being your first time to play strike cause the developers says Kamikaze is a valid tactic you can read it yourself in the il2 site words from the developer by the way the plane dose no damage at all to a ship it just gives u a dive like a stuka the penality is a crash but then u scored 2 in strike ..not bad for your first game.
Im done with forum ping pong besides it keeps me from playin.

I was there at 5. No game came up.

OK so I'm not allowed to bail out of a broken plane when no-one is shooting at me using an option in the menu to do so, but you're allowed to use your jet bomber as a missile exploit when you are 2 games up anyway, when there are only 3 targets for you to destroy because a dev said it was ok once (which I've never seen by the way)?

And if it does no damage a) why do it rather than make another bombing run? And b) why did a ship explode often when you did it, and the last time you did it, it took the tickets from 100+ to 1? I realise you were dropping bombs as well, but don't try and tell me it does no damage.

And don't give me this crap about the games were "default" set up. I've seen you hosting plenty of games over my time playing this game so you should know how to host a good fair game, and similarly how to host a game you can exploit.

In my experience the person who shouts loudest and resorts to simple insults the quickest in an argument is the guy who knows he's wrong. Like the idiot that drives into the back of you at a roundabout then gets out effing and blinding. That coupled with the fact that you obviously suspected someone would cotton onto to what you were up to, hence felt the need for screenshots.

And by the way, I didn't say I wouldn't play realistic, I said I wouldn't join your game. I will happily play you, but not on your terms, because you are incapable of making a game that is fun for all concerned. The only game that was fun was the team battle, because it's hard to host that in a lop sided fashion.

ffs another argument im sick of this.

btw it was great fun id love to do the same next week

Thanks but i saw your kamikaze efforts and well they are unsporting.. I would refrain from doing them again mate.. its just as good to get the Arado on a line over the 3 ships and bomb each and do consecutive bombing runs. it does way more damage in the same time and doesn't go on your profile thingy. Again thanks for the compliments and you have obviously not played Edal, Trk etc if you thought i was good :D

Anywho, hope we can do this again sometime? If necessary ill host so all 6 of us can play again and Infinite can get some revenge.

Yeah thanks for everyone that played, turned out to be an excellent game. I had the time of my life in that La-7 lol. Well played to everyone that did play and haitch you've got that spitfire set up really well. Almost made me want to go back to flying the spitfire but im convinced the la-7 is the best plane so im gonna stick at it.

Inifitestates i just wish you didnt have to complain so much lol, at the end of the day it was a fair competitive game, two teams battling it out. Settings were infact default 5 second respawn is default and Dover is the default map i thought we all agreed on this as the map ? and you did do a little too much bailing in tdm all i had to do was get a shot on you switch to another target and then to come back at you only to find you'd bailed out or crashed the plane. Maybe the crashing wasnt done purposely but it did seem that way.

Personally i found cta the most exciting constant planes coming in 'trying' to land only to be bombed within seconds. At one point i looked down at the airfied and all i could see was burning planes, it was almost impossible to get a landing through all the smoke ! So cta wasnt boring at all possibly the most exciting of the lot.

Strike, well i find strike boring anyway otherwise id have one of those b17's by now so yeah strike was boring as always but nonetheless it was a competitive game and i enjoyed it. Pignouf in his b17 won the game for us here, once that thing gets through its a game winner. As to us having only 3 targets theres no real advantage, infact the b17 is more suited to carpet bombing so id say team B is at the advantage here. Also theres nothing wrong with kamikaziing in that arado for one it only carries so many bombs so its useless for carpet bombing / going from target to target and two its so sh**te at turning so you may aswell just get those last few bombs off in a kamikazee run and come back in with a new plane with a full set of bombs. Oh and i can confirm crashing the plane into the target doesnt do any damage, i tried it earlier ;). Not quite sure what happened with you here though infinitestates you seemed to quit the game as soon as you realised you were gonna lose, not exactly good sportsmanship on your behalf. You should stick with your team till the end regardless if your gonna win or lose.

At the end of the day tactics are tactics and there what win games, so stop complaining and be happy we managed to get a good game going :).

yes good games
again this sunday? with the patch i might add

(Yay) Deffinately!

OK, I can't be bothered to argue the toss over this, and its pointless as it's a differing in opinion, not fact. If I'm the only one that feels 2 out of the 3 game set ups were not designed with fun for both sides in mind, then fair enough. Each to their own. It seems it was only not fun for me.

I'm sorry if you think I crashed a lot in TDM. You try keeping a spitfire in the air with holes all over it's wings. If you finish the job you'd get the kill - simple as that. Maybe ocean can post his screenshot so I can see just how many more crashes I had than anyone else?

But, FYI, I quit the strike match when the ticket count was 1 vs 190-odd, so I hardly left my team mates in the lurch. By then I was pissed off with the issues I've already mentioned. And it wasn't won by your B17 because he only made it to target once - it was won by ocean's suicide tactics. You may have noticed I initially chose a B17 and could have stayed with that and we probably would have steamrolled you - but I chose spitfire when I saw what others had chosen. Know why? To make the game fun. Bloody waste of time that was.

But I wish you all many happy games in the future.
