Arcade Team battle tournament PS3

[Shadowcorp]

Seeing a well organised sim tournament has given me the incentive to organise one such tournament for arcade.

A 4 v 4 team squadron tournament

i know of two teams already. This is an opportunity to get together with friends and have fun.

We all know ww2 was not won by individual pilots but by elite squadrons lets see if we can't get some going in this great title.

(i understand the recent release of MW2 will slow the organisation of this tournament i expect to have it running for the february)

Rules are as follows
20 minutes engagement
any conditions (bar storm) to be agreed by teams before said event
aircraft/loadout limitation no rockets
all matches are for fun any angry text or voice exchanges will result in disqualification and forfieture of match in question. As will any breach of aircraft/loadout limitation.
Will be a group to tournament depending on numbers (i'm confident theres enough players in arcade), group winners/loser brackets potentially

I don't have a squad, but good for you Shadow! Good to see someone else breathing life into the game...

I hope the patch comes soon...

How did you do in the 101 / guest tourney?

don't understand what is your prob with the i 153
guys it seems u are afraid of the 153 but90% of the guys engage the dogfight in tight turns with the 153 and after they said " it is unfair!!!"
hey guys choice the best tacticals vs the 153!!!that is all!!!
if u found this plane too good ...use it!!!!and please stop to say "it is unfair" or "i153 is a plane for noobs"
a lot of players don't want fight vs i 153 because in my opinion they are afraid to loose instead of fight and try to find a good tacticals vs i 153: it is too easy !!!!!!!!
now i begin to use the spit to be good with and other plane and i don't cry because the jets are too speed,because the guns in turret are too dangerous,because the 153 is "unfair"no guys,no !!!
i m not a good player and i know it but i think the better pilots can fight and win vs all the planes even the 153!!for the moment i see just one who can beat all the planes :drdeath5000
follow his example guys!!!!!!!!and stop to cry!!!THANKS A LOT!!!

Mostly depends on difficulty settings. It's not great in sim/realistic, but I heard it's a bit ridiculous on Arcade, because it can also fly at warp-speed.

LOL, on Sim, I have no problems with any of the planes. If someone chooses an I53, I just take the Bf-109K4 and vise versa... Arcade, well thats a whole nother story, Like stated above, it can fly at warp speed XD

good meaning xxsilencexx
i know u are very good

Oh boy! I got something to say on this. First, I play arcade like every weekday night and have for about 2 months, so I'm talking from experience. The 153 is not a warp speed fighter. It can't catch anything other than a bomber and it can keep up with the I-16. I walk away from it all the time. That's its weakness. The reason why its deadly good in dogfights is because ALL the dogfights involving 5 or more degenerate into a huge furball that gets lower and lower until it is on the deck. Twisting, turning, slow speed mess. The 153s bread and butter. For some Russisn reason, it has one hell of a set of 1930s guns on it! Unbelievable. Running and gunning is possible in this game but you will won't win doing it. In twenty minutes, I've found 15+ kills to be routine (not for me, unfortunately). Every time I try to use the 153 to get the unlocks, someone msgs me telling me to ditch the cheap kill master. I know of two guys, if they are the host, who won't start a game with it in there. Spitfires, Hurricaines, 109s rule in Arcade. With the nature of the game being the way it is, turn and burn is all we are going to get, unless you don't mind losing. I challenge myself in other ways. I always want to be the least killed and I strive for the best killer/killed ratio. That won't unlock weapons, but it is fun to use other planes and burn these guys when they don't see it coming. Here's hoping the 190 and p51 only have enough fuel for a 30 minute fight and not a 12 hr flight! Long live the I-153!!!!!!!!! Just deal with it.
