Wouldn't option A mean playing 19 matches before elimination

if so, option B would be better.

As for eliminating jets, I'd rather eliminate the I-16. But under the rules, it doesn't matter much. The jets have light ammo loads, if they just spend 20 minutes running away, well that's 1 point for not being suicidal, but the other 2 points forsaken for wasting the Luftwaffe's fuel without getting a kill.

After spending a 20 minute dogfight with 1941 planes against an I-16, my attitude towards I-16 and I-153 will be to just ignore it and fly around it. I'll just fly up to 3000 m right above it and dive, then let it watch me disappear.

No, Option A means you will only play with those members of your group (about 10 matches), it will be almost the same as playing each player of group 2 times on smaller groups (8 matches)

I agree, I-153 cannot be out turned, and jets cannot be outrun. they are extremes, 1. burn and turn, the other Boom and Zoom.

* against an I-153 you can Boom and Zoom, and against a Jet you can evade and turn quickly on his tail and try to shoot at him.

- So, I cant prohibit the use of any of the two because they could be part of someone's tactics.
(what I do when someone uses a jet is to use a jet myself, simple as that)

-BTW, I dont see many players using jets anyway (what do you guys think?)

- should I not allow jets?

*this is only to prevent no one decides to create multiple accounts se they can have more chances at winning and because I see that you created an account this month.

(can anyone translate this to german in case he does not understand?)
Well, I guess I'm mostly on the game when you guys are asleep (GMT +1 = my time zone). I'm playing IL-2 since it came out. Yesterday I stood up untill 4 am and met a lot of people that are enlisted. Some may have seen me, like trk said. philabong knows me as well, we've also played together.
I'm flexible in time because Im at university
I have just one account - Beamjimmy - and when I crash in matches its never on purpose. When my BF109-K4 gets a hole in a wing it becomes pretty uncontrollable at that point (for me).
I didn't enlist because I think I'm an ace and can compete with the best guys on this list but just for the tournament. This is the first tournament I've seen for IL-2 and it gives a good reason to play the game and get into the community.
See you!

PS:
favourite map: dover at daytime - best weather settings
I prefer option B

Thanks, welcome to the forum and to the tournament.

** NOTE ALL PARTICIPANTS: Dont worry about time differences, all groups are separated so that all players in a group share the same time zone, this will make it easier to find them (Eliminatory Stage is only exception because it will be a mixture of all players, but eliminatory stage is a very short stage)**

Cheers dude, much appreciated



Just one quick question though; are you going to wait till after the patch to start this up?
If the patch does as intended, it will definitely help with the scoring situation..
