Read the Tournament Guide here for more info on how we run tournaments and what this all means.
That plane looks really modded.
@Typhlosion130 Same here. I would bet on F10 then. :/
@BRuthless I don't know then.
@Typhlosion130 No, if it would have counted the missiles crashing, it would have ended the first match way earlier and the second match later, as they didn't have enough time to reach the ground there.
@BRuthless that's possible yes. or the missiles hitting actually did count for some reason. after all they're not using the same game update as us.
@Typhlosion130 I know that it won't be allowed in future tournaments (finally).
It would have counted as crash as soon as the parts were detached off of the plane, that's why I've kept the part count of detaching parts as low as possible, so it won't count it as crash/critical damage. And as I already said, the missiles crashed way before the first match was ended, you can even hear it in the video, it obviously just can't be the reason as it wasn't counted by the game as a crash. The only option left would be that both matches were ended manually.
@BRuthless I don't know weather or not missiles can cause it. I do know that if to many parts (non weapons) are destroyed its counted as critical and a loss. ontop of that the daredevil tournamate here doesn't allow weapons so you're screwed if you're trying to do it there.
@Typhlosion130 But how do you know that? And also there's no proof for that, as the missiles hit the ground way before the first match was ended. There's absolutely no chance a real crash was the reason.
@BRuthless if any part on the plane gets critical damage or any part hits the water. its out. that's the rules the tournament applies in game.
@Typhlosion130 But why would it be different? It would make creating working racers for tournaments impossible in our versions of SP. And why didn't it happen in the first match of my plane? The missiles hit the water and the ground when the plane is between the second and third ring, the VTOL-engines start dropping to the ground ~10 seconds after my plane finishes the race. In the second match there wasn't even enough time for anything to crash. Trust me, I have tested and optimized all systems very intensively. :D
@BRuthless @A5mod3us actually while you can still win with nothing but the cock pit in normal race mode. in the tournament a plane is counted lost as any part is destroyed or hits the water.
Myplane can fly good but its to slow:(
@A5mod3us But that's just in your opinion. :) And it wasn't cheap, it was more work than most people have probably spent on just their racer designs actually. And as I created it, I also know a way that prevents your plane from beeing killed by missiles or other projectiles, also without breaking any rules. But I'm not here to discuss if making more advanced designs is fair or not (as a fact it isn't, as long as it's still in the restrictions. You can ask anyone who has to do with real life sports about that and get the same answer), I just want to know what happened in the race that made it fail without any obvious reason.
@BRuthless it's still poor sportsmanship and a cheap way to try and win.
@A5mod3us It's not forbidden in the rules, so not doing it would mean not using the full potential, which is not acceptable for me.
Though I don't know why it didn't hit. I've spent a whole night to optimize the system to hit any aircraft of any size and performance with 100% accuracy on both positions while not getting worse times on the course.
@Nerdtronics But in the first match it also didn't matter, it counted the rings. And I made sure that the parts coming off of my plane don't make a difference. Also I've found out that only the cockpit has to go through the rings.
2 wins! Not bad!
I didn't do so well
It's pot luck, who knows how stupid the AI will be
My results surprised me top 16 but lost to first placer
@BRuthless Using missiles to try and knock the other guy out? That's real cheap.
how did i lose to a prop plane?!
@BRuthless my guess would be that not all of your plane goes through the ring. In fact MOST of it doesn't make the journey. Also, why are we firing missiles near the other players start location? I'd feel very cheated if my plane was shot down in a non-combat race.
And here we can clearly see, that my plane didn't crash at any time. The missiles crashed way before the first time the match was cancelled and didn't have time to crash the second time it was cancelled. Also the VTOL-engines go way up into the sky and stay there during the whole time, which I have tested many times, so they also couldn't be the issue. What happened there? :(
U destroyed me in the race to the finals ! Nice job man@LegnaK
