--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday evening, 9 PM in the Training Arena. Field A4, vox 111.
We will be flying 3 on 1 and 2 on 1.
This is not dueling, but an open MA type of environment where each player will have the opportunity to fight two or three enemies at a time. There are no rules governing what style a player may employ. There are no restrictions on how close or far you must be from the enemy. Most fights begin up around 10K, but invariably end up in the weeds. There are no restrictions on what you fly, except no jets or bombers (attack aircraft like the A-20, SBD, D3a, etc are allowed).
Aside from providing players with an opportunity to expand their SA, it's also a chance to work as a team with pilots you've like never flown with. What you do in this clinic will translate directly into your MA flying. We've held many of these in the past and everyone had a great time. You will gain experience in assessing threats and judging E states of several enemies at the same time. It substantially increases your workload, and will quickly find any flaws in aspects of you game that you can concentrate on improving.
Rules do exist, but only to govern what constitutes being shot down and how that is handled and to prevent abuse. It works on the honor system. If you are one of the two or three, any hit to the cockpit glass is considered a killing shot. Upon taking such as hit, you turn on air show smoke and exit the fight. Upon flying out of icon range, you may rejoin the fight. The purpose of this is provide positive reinforcement to the lone pilot fighting off the 2 or 3. It also prevents a perpetual gangbang, assuming you can shoot down one or two. This rule does not apply to the single pilot. However, at any time the group can break off and reset the fight. This is encouraged, especially if the lone defender is clearly overwhelmed. It's not a beat-down session, it's training and continuously ganging a defenseless pilots gains nothing for any of the participants.
I will assign group leaders where needed. Group leaders will be picked based upon experience and judgment. This leader will decide if the fight needs to be reset. If he calls for a disengagement, players are expected to comply. At any time, the lone defender can call a halt to the fight. If he does, he rotates out of the defender spot.
All pilots will rotate into the defender role. How fast and frequently that occurs is dependent on factors that will constantly be in flux. Typically, I will call a halt at intervals and everyone will tower-out and re-spawn. A five minute break between rounds will allow players to do their personal things.
Pilots who auger may immediately re-up and return to their group.
No one will be keeping score. Run film and review it later. Much can be learned from film.
So, stop by guys. You'll help yourself and have a great time.
My regards,
Widewing
