Ello Guys!

Please read the whole description, Thanks!

A few days ago, our SimplePlanes Discord Server SPCS hit the 300 members mark, so we had to do a big celebration event. This is what we came up with:

The Great SimplePlanes Dogfight Tournament

This is a big build event where a total of 16 teams have to build a jet fighter aircraft to compete against each other in 1v1 dogfights. The competitors have to find theirselves in small groups of 1-4 people. The teams have one week to build a fighter aircraft to fight against another team. After these seven days, two different fighters must compete against each other in an ai controlled dogfight. The first aircraft to get 3 kills gets to the next round. This continues until we have one final winner.

The 13 Commandments

  1. Every type of weapon is allowed, as long as they match with the other rules.
  2. max. Weapon Damage: 150%, max. Rounds per second: 30, min. Bullet spread: 0.5
  3. max. Missile count: 10, max. Locking degree: 180, max. Countermeasures count: 200
  4. max. Part Health: 150%
  5. width: 7-16 meters, height: 2.5-7 meters, length: 14-22 meters
  6. max. Speed: Mach 2 with afterburner (2500kmh/1550mph)
  7. No auto-aiming or auto-firing turrets
  8. Cannons are allowed but no explosive rounds
  9. No instant acceleration / deceleration (eg: 0-400mph in a second)
  10. min. Part count: 200, max. Part count: 500
  11. No prop planes, this is a jet fighter competition
  12. max. Part Count: 500 parts
  13. Thrust Vectoring is allowed! (Happy GuyFolk noise)
    It‘s not really a rule, but please try to build a realistic looking plane. It will just look a bit off in the fight montages when there is a flying dragon or something like this. Thanks!

    I will give you another week because many people needed a bit of time for finding their teams.

    Is this ever going to happen? You shouldn't start a tournament if you can't finish it, I put a lot of effort into my entry and now I can see it was for nothing. @DJ2keroni

    @11qazxc If the planes aren't posted yet in like a week or so then yeah, they should be disqualified, but for now i'd give them one last chance

    I agree with @Rodrigo110 .
    In other challenges and tournaments it works just like that.

    If people haven't submitted before the deadline - you should automatically disqualify them and give the victory to the opponent and then go from there in the contest.@DJ2keroni

    I can’t do the event if there are planes missing, I am sorry. I think I will just juggle the planes like in a normal challenge @Rodrigo110

    I don't understand - people are still submitting their planes over a week after the deadline - when will this finish and when will the dogfights start? @DJ2keroni

    Yeah I have seen it. It’s a beautiful plane with great handling. Probably the best looking entry of the Challenge @Rodrigo110
