Poll is ready please vote. Poll ends in 8 days.


Dont worry, there will be plenty of time before tournament starts to practice with your wingman.

Default Trial matches

Just had a couple of matches tonight.
Some dogfights in the yak 3 and 2vs2 in the I-16 on strike map Stalingrad with tourney rules.
Flew with Mac, Plavi, u2 and Walter.

The Yaks has a challenging cockpit, and is a great challenge to fly and to aim as the blazing nose guns really put some fire in the visual range.

The I -16 has the engine issue and is slow when one has to disengage. My experience tonight gave me the result of voting for the Yaks (sorry Mac)
It just ends with to much flying, engine trouble and less fighting with the I-16.

Hey Edal.

While navigating the thread on my iPod I accidentally voted in the poll. I was the 4th vote for the Yak. Sorry for the trouble, I'll try to be more careful.

Just reminding people that the Yak-9 has no team markings. Its not important for me but it might be for some.

Good game with you KAV and Mac. Always great to be a flying Drone(LOL) enjoyed flying I-16 I only had engine problem once during all the matches and if I had the altitude I think I could have saved it the engine was retarting before i crashed. Now I would like to wish everyone good luck in the tournament I'll be gone for the next 2wks visiting family and friend.

Thanks KAV,

Plavikit, U2, WalterNowotny for the trial matches last night. I think they worked pretty well.

One thing I noticed was that the disengagement rule is a bit more tricky to observe since there are 4 players now, not two. I think it still works but we must keep in mind: if anyone crashes or gets killed (as is visible by the announcement on the screen), all engagements must stop immediately, even if just about to shoot an opponent down. Then, all have to move away from each other until no opponent shows on the map - this also gives each team the chance to team up again.

Hopefully all who take part in the tournament get a chance to practice that so we don't run into problems when the tournament starts.

As for the choice of airplanes, I'm happy with the poll. But to exclude the chance of counting votes of people who are not participating in the tournament it would be better to make this a public poll where the voters and their votes could be seen.
