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

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...

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

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.

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

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 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.
