Gentlemen,

Gozr has invited us to a server vs server team competition. Each major server from the community will field a squad (size undetermined at this time) and compete for top honors.  If you're interested, please respond here so we can begin assembling our team.

No word yet on plane sets but I believe we will be using TUSA competition rules.

Yessssssssssssssssssssss!I'm there.Black 2

I would love to.TX-WarHawk   :-)

....sure wish I could join you guys! I plan on getting some stuff moved to the new "temp" residence in League City this afternoon and evening and should be able to get the new box hooked up later tonight. That is if we get off work early enough!TX-CudaMinister of Information

This IS the International Competitions MapI've uploaded a picture of this map, used several weeks ago in a TUSA vs Germany scrim.There are multiple objectives.  The team which completes three of the 5 objectives first, wins.The general idea here is that the CV's (Aircraft Carrier's) contain some of the more high performance aircraft, and if a team wants access to those A/C (late war P-51D, Ki-84-1b, La-7, 109-K4) then they will be more inclined to protect the CV's and attack the enemies.I have uploaded this mission to TX uploads section under "Gunslingers-OC3"low_us_ger.PROPERTIES and low_us_ger.MISBlack 2

Ground Targets: Matilda tanks on both sides.  The Matilda is a slow, heavily armoured tank. Blue tanks close upThe Matilida's are situated for both Red and Blue, at a point about equidistant from both home land airfield and CV locationShipboard Flak has been turned way down.  It's there, but not the wicked 3.5" inch stuff.Here is the blue base.....Sun is from the east at 7:00 AM...Black 2

Oh yeah, one more thing - This is the International Competitions Icon and Dot Range standard setting:ncom=mp_dotrange FRIENDLY DOT 17 COLOR .001 ID .001 TYPE .001 NAME 1.1 RANGE .001ncom=mp_dotrange FOE DOT 17 COLOR .001 ID .001 TYPE .001 NAME .001 RANGE .001These are the settings we've been utilizing on OC3 for 4 or 5 weeks now.  Our settings are just a little bit more liberal right now.  Our friendly icon comes on at 2.0 km I believe.Black 2

Damn and just when my PC starts to take a crap too.....grrrrrr i will do my best to duct tape this crap rig back together and report for duty guys,onboard sound is dying and i stuck a old SB 512 in and now all sound is coming from the bottom of a well it seems..gotta google the info on how to remove all traces of SB drivers and try to reinstall the card hope i can be up before my days off are over..seeyall in the skys soon.Razor over and out

Count me in guys

.....map certainly looks interesting. I have a question though on the positions of the two DD's protecting the CV's. What are the settings for defensive guns on the vessels? If memory serves me the guns on the carriers alone would be enough to deter strikes by incoming enemy aircraft. With the patches has this been toned down?TX-CudaMinister of Information

After Gozr and TeamUSA tested this map, the A/C and Destroyer AA was turned way down.This is adjustable in the mission.  Anyway, FLAK is somewhat light.Black 2

Gozr is aiming for a 15 vs 15 competition at this point and I plan on initiating training in preparation. So far this is our roster:TX-ZenTX-SputnikTX-RazorTX-EcoDragonTX-GunslingerTX-WarhawkProbables:TX-Monguse TX-Bomblast TX-Deck TX-RahmanTX-Ersky TX-Copper Possibles:PBNA-BoosherI would like to secure a training commitment of 1-2 nights a week for tactics and coordination before fully committing TX Squadron to this event, but the entire group need not be there every time and we can refine the times as we proceed. Please respond if you feel you can commit to the training time, not only would I like to participate but I would like TX to kick the holy crap out of the competition.  We will be facing some of the best pilots in the community so it's best not to walk in unprepared. ZenZen

I'm in Wash D.C. today, but will be back by Wed afternoon. Any training you want to schedule for this week is fine with me, I"ll be there.   I can commit to twice a week.S~ Black 2

I'm in, definately......will try to make all practice sessions, and definately the match.  Only thing that might hinder me is work, otherwise, I'M IN!Excited at the prospect of flying with the whole TX Squad!!

We are slotted to compete against the High Octane server which is the home of the 20thFG Squadron. I'll find out more about them as soon as I can. Zen

Count me in also....  I will definately need training...mainly evasive manuvers.  I'll hook up the old unmodified stick to use for the competition....still not used to the long throw of the extended stick yet. Regards,TX-Rahman"WHITE 6"

I am semi away. . . just busy with academics. . . but lets make it happen! There are a few excercises that I think we should do, and it wont hurt to do them a few times over. . . so count me in on the 2xweekly meetings for sure!  I just need to know in advance when we decide, but my nights are usually open as long as I can get out of there without being up too late.P.S. I too vote for kicking the crap out of them.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

rgr that Eco, and i'm all for the evasive manuvour (spell check) sessions.P.S....thanks goes to Gunslinger for posting all that excellent info in his previous posts....TX is blessed with some smart cookies......and dough boys like me.:)I really hope all of TX can get on board for this, good for moral, good for re-invigorating the love of this game, and good for TX if we dominate!!S~ all(in case you can't tell, i'm rather pumped and excited.....mainly because i'm officially starting as a traffic nazi on the 20th, which means no more midnights for the next 2 years....YAAAY!!)

Black 8 (?) reporting for duty.TX-Deck out.

I'm thinking of tuesdays and thursdays for the competition training, most likely around 8 CST. I'm open to suggestions so please post your availability and we can hammer out a more concrete time. I've also contacted STS Predator about a scrim and he's interested, so early next week we are going to start making a plan for the scrim date. On the tactics level, first thing I've noticed is that as a group we have a tendancy to get drawn down into low altitude engagements. This is fairly normal but we have to take care to mind our energy and climb whenever possible if not directly engaged.  It's one thing to be in the saddle and shooting, its another thing to be engaged with him and constantly moving for a shot, which tends to lower your SA and force you lower and lower. We do best when we take one shot and climb, letting our wingmen keep pressure on the enemy by repeated attacks instead of getting engaged. Keep that in mind, it pays off when we adhere to proper tactics. Two parts of the training will focus on defensive moves as well as training for group tactics. Gunslinger will be recording the tracks and we will do a step by step reconstruction to highlight areas where we did well and where we did not. Post your availabililty for training,  I'd like to get this in motion.
