:hmm:
we could do a 1 vs 1 knockout
there is 1 map that is very suitable for that , its the Island map with 2 islands not far away from eachother , given both players time and distance to get on altitude.
or I could edit a flat map like we use in dogfights and make only 2 bases avaible to pick out. and take out the flaks
what you need to keep in mind are categories
I would suggest following
1.Bi-planes
2.Early war aircraft all the mono fighters till 1940 for example
3.Mid war aircraft till 1941-1943
4.Late War aircraft till 1944-1945
5.Jets that REALLY flew in the war and post-war(HE162, ME262A1 and A2, MIG9, YP80) no Rocketcrafts (BI6 and ME163) or fantasy planes like the Heinkel lerche, later variants of the HE162.
Rules must be simple:
*Each player can only take ONE aircraft for each category.
so this eliminates that players can switch to gain easy advantage over an enemy aircraft.
*100%Realism: a bugger for spectators but it makes the fighting last longer
*A bit of honour : if a player is beaten up bad and the aircraft is unflyable give him time to bail out. the player who is given up must enable his nav lights and bail out.
I wonder how many people we have, for 2 things:
1st of all we can do 2 ways of scoring
1st: if you get shot down by a enemy contestant You're OUT! of the league
or
2nd: you will have to face everyone in a 1vs1 the ones with the less Victories is out, and this keeps going till the finals.
and we can do another Dogfight knock out with more tactics:
like 2 vs 2 Wingmen co-op
use the real tactics and work together to achieve victory
ps. Xabba, its a brilliant Idea I had what I suggest above a long time in my head, we really must get this thing started.
