you dont have to fly with them all the time. Most likely, you will end up having to play alongside someone from squadron 1, another from squadron 2, and so on. This is only to balance players deaths.

What is important is to play for the team, not necessary for the squadron. Although, a squadron's role is important in that a strong squadron will have at least 1 of its members on 1 of the top 4 ranks which are the ranks that allow you to dictate the team's objectives


[edit]
I have decided that Rogue Squadron and Penor Flight remain private because these are personal squadrons and I don want to invade them in any way. So, steyr_amr and whiterhino will be squadron 5 and as more players join the tournament I will fill in the empty spots. The reason for this is that these are unofficial squadrons, only to be treated as squadrons for the duration of this tournament.

No changes will be done to the squadrons of the UK Team. However, Kozzmo will have the authority to change the USSR squadrons only if team USSR players agree to it. I will not interfere with team USSR's decisions because, even though, I am the organizer of this Tournament, I am also a participant of the opposing team. In short, it is not wise to allow the enemy (me) to partcipate in any of your plans. Agree?

I'm pretty happy with these new planned squadrons. Balancing was good idea and you managed to to do good job with it, as usual. This will be great..

thanks,
reaper had requested a squadron composed of you, trk29, reaper1526, and philabong. I suspect because you are all VAS members. However, I thought that that was too strong of a squadron. I replaced you for He-111 (he is also VAS) so that reaper's original squadron would remain all VAS members and I made you "leader" of another squadron. I based this on the results from Ace of Aces, statistically you are the second strongest of the team.

This is directed towards the USSR team,

As of January 9th we will be enemies, I will not be responsible for mobilizing you guys into playing. I expect you guys to work as a team and depend on each other. I will still be answering questions about the tournament and editing your stats. However, dont expect me to keep informing you guys of what is happening via PSN. All the information you guys and the UK team members will need is going to be posted on the first 3 posts of this thread (first page). I have referred to this posts as Bulletin Boards. I hope you guys understand and if you dont, then, imagine having to contact 30 players each week to let them know what to do and what is happening. Thanks.

Also, to all players. This tournament was created for all of us to have fun. You guys filled the spots and made this tournament possible. Please try your best to participate. If I notice that not much is happenning on the first 2 weeks, or so, of this tournament, then, I will simplify it and make it easier on me. This tournament required hours of thinking and it will require more hours to keep it functioning smoothly. I do every thing by hand and with my cheap Paint program. I am happy to do this and excited because in my mind it all looks excellent. I have intergrated ideas from the hypperlobby servers, Rome: Total War, and Battlefield 2. This tournament is not just something I came out with after the Holidays. I will be glad to do all the work if you guys participate as I expect you to. If interest is not demonstrated, then, I will not cancel the tournament but I will significantly simplify it. You will see what I mean when I mention complexity after I post the rules and description this coming Tuesday. I leave the decision in your hands.

Based on player styles and languages I think something like this would work better for USSR:

1) philabong, varcus, olife, panz1t
2) mage, reaper, stingersix, trueshotcaller
3) kozz, macademic, he111, fangface
4) mirgervin, trk, drozz, filthyprick

though if it has no effect on who actually plays in a given match, it wouldn't matter except for training.

edal have you notified all team USSR members, if not then I will have to round them up

After thinking about it, I expect the site admins probably won't create usergroupd threads or forums because
1) it's a fair bit of work to create and maintain
2) they'd probably have to make trk an admin

so I have gone ahead and created a new website for team USSR. If the team isn't too confused maybe it will work.

The site is

http://shtabvvsov.getphpbb.com/

email activation is disabled, to keep it simple. All guests are considered spies. So register with something close to your psn id or name here, then I'll activate it, then you can post. There is already something very useful there.

as soon as it's processed, the site will be teamvvsrules.com

Can I take a peek?? lol just kidding. Well I guess team UK will have a little disadvantage in that we wont be able to post privately. Good thing we have got the best planes to compensate.

Kozzmo, I sent a simple PSN message to all players that teams are ready and to check the forum but I think it is better that you round them up as you said.

Yes, squadrons dont really affect how players must fly or organize, you guys (USSR) figure squadrons out. The squadrons that I posted would have been my choice for fair balanced squadrons but, again, I wont interfere

** Kozzmo, I will add your site to the first page of the thread as soon as it is confirmed that we cant have our own private thread on this forum.

I appreciate your confidence in picking me for your sqaudron, may I volunteer for the position of sacraficial lamb

That said I cant register on the Team USSR site, gets caught in a loop on the "agree to terms" page.

Any way looking forward to this, as long as I can get online at the same time as the rest of the squadron.

And apologies to Edal for not being able to train in the flight school yet, time difference is against us I feel.

Any how, fellow team members feel free to add me, my psn is fangface666, and whats our squadron name? may I suggest Falcon Squadron after the comic strip character Johnny Red, a WWII british pilot that fought alongside the Russian Army google search (johnny red eagle comic)

Looks a good team to me. Philabong2,trk,he-111 you guys agree?
