Super Squad Saturday

[AOD_DerNoobPilot]

Hello my fellow Pilots, Captains and Tankers!

Super Squad Saturday is back!

This is an event where we do not take the game serious & just want to have fun; not worrying about playing the objective directly or any repair costs incurred.
We set up a custom match and then continue from there.
The Custom Battle is to always have a password, & the password is to always be JOINAOD


Please feel free to reply to this thread if you would like to submit an idea for a Super Squad Saturday match.

Follow these requirements:

1. Try to make it accessible for all members, so please nothing like jets only etc.
2. Be specific on your idea. Do not just say "let's do this ..." Mention the rules and regulations as well as a brief idea in how the game is meant to be played.
3. Your idea must be feasible and provide a good game play experience for all participants. Therefore, as an example, do not do something like Maus vs reserve*.

* Unless the reserve is BoomBoom

[AOD_WeDGE]

Bombers vs biplanes is indeed a classic, looking forward to it

[AOD_Danneskjold]

Question... Are rockets allowed in Bombers vs. Biplanes?

[youngerskywalker]

Sounds like a great idea. A great way to have fun

[zerggodmaster]

gamemode name : ninja

units: ground

difficulty: custom (modified to where its like simulator but no icons)

maps: any conquest maps

settings for map: inseccent rain, any time of day, respawn unlimited

goal: kill enemy players while hiding in the fog yourself, cap point shall not be capped but if so 1 member of opposite team must uncap the point

tier choice: a vote will be held for what average br we will use

[Silkmonger]

Gamemode name: Baby Stomps.

Units: Ground and air with reserve and BR1 only.

Difficulty: AOD in-house Squadron Battles

Maps: any that don't overly advantage either side.

High noon as time. (so Sun doesn't help anyone on the ground)

1 spawn each, with one to three cap points that both sides try to cap.

Idea behind this: More people get a chance to drive tanks without being stomped by higher BR enemy tanks, and everyone gets to try combat comms discipline.

sounds like a blast, will be there

Looking forward to my first Super Squad Saturday

Gamemode Name: The Battle of Palmdale

Units: F6F (any variant) on one team, and an F-80 or F-84 (Any Variants) on the other.

Difficulty: Realistic.

Map: Berlin/City Map

Settings: Clear Weather, Midday, only 1 life.

F6F Goals: Survive. However possible.

F-80/F-84 Goals: Shoot down the Rogue Drone using Unguided Rockets!

Rules:
1. F6F pilots cannot use any of their weapons.
2. F6F must have the smallest load of fuel possible.
3. F6F pilots cannot return to airfield or land. You must stay airborne.
4. F-80/F-84 pilots must use rockets only, no other weapons.
5. F-80/F-84 pilots get 1 chance to rearm/refuel.
6. No ramming.

Winning!
The F6F pilots win if they survive the full salvo from the Shooting Stars and Thunderjets or run out of fuel and are forced to land. As long as you are not shot down, you win.
The F-80/F-84 pilots win if they successfully shoot down all the F6F pilots with unguided rockets.

Story Behind the Idea: in 1956, a F6F-5K drone was launched from Point Mugu NAS in California. It stopped responding to ground commands, and was considered a rogue aircraft. Northrop F-89 Scorpions (Not in the game) were dispatched to shoot it down. They prepared their automatic rocket launchers, but the automatic targeting system failed, forcing them to shoot the rockets unguided, without a gun sight in the cockpit (it was removed when the Targeting system was installed). They fired 208 rockets, and every single one of them missed.
The Hellcat drone eventually ran out of fuel and crashed in a desert, but only 15 of the 208 Mighty Mouse rockets were found undetonated. All the others damaged the ground, started brush fires (over 1,000 acres burned), and penetrated homes and garages. There were no fatalities.

Gamemode Name: Rocket Battle (AIR)

Units: Any Aircraft with Rockets

Difficulty: Arcade/Realistic

Map: Any

Settings: Any

Goals: Using only Rockets, explode thine enemies into tiny bits!

Winning: Your team wins if you destroy all enemy planes with unguided rockets. Simple, right?

Rules: Only Rockets are allowed. Otherwise, go hog wild!
A Chaika dogfighting with an F-84? DONE.
N1K2 firing rockets at a BF-109 F2? HIT THAT MESSERSCHMIDT.
F6F-5 and a F4U-4 locked in a battle over the Pacific ocean? WHICH NAVAL FIGHTER IS SUPERIOR?

AKA, a simplified version of the above suggestion.

congratulations to the red team!

beat us both times....cheaters....

[AOD_RTMPro]

Lets keep the ideas for game modes coming in!


Make sure to let everyone know about Super Squad Saturday!

[AOD_Templar8899]

Would like to see Tank racing. Shooting each other with low penetrating shells is optional.

Hey guys!

Tonight, so 6th of April 2019, we are doing Super Squad Saturday! Some of you may wonder ''Wtf is that''?. Well, I'll tell ya. Every saturday at 9pm CET, or EST for you Americans. During the events we play for fun on a custom map, and we have weird and fun gimmicks. Tomight for example, we are going to do a game called Asassin, which I will explain before the game starts. Anyone is allowed to join, and the event is held every saturday, although the time may change slightly if we have a meeting.

Super Squad Saturday is a great way to get to know other players, and get your mind of playing seriously in normal or squib games.

Cheers

Tom

9PM CET is 4PM ET (currently on EDT [GMT-4], not EST [GMT-5] until November 9)

Whatever the time is, Super Squad Saturday is always a blast!


I should have trademarked the name when I first introduced it awhile back :P

[AOD_Rocco_Vargas]

I made a proposal in "The hangar" that would work. Battle of Britain- only planes that took part. That French seafront town can double for the English coast so we could have tanks also. Just stuff available in late summer 1940 only. I can provide a list.

[Tom12348]

I wanna do that Rocco, but it requires some planning. I can plan a game of battle of Britain for next weeks SSS.

[AOD_Rocco_Vargas]

We'll see.

[AOD_Rocco_Vargas]

well don't do stuff just for me. I'm the only WW2 fan in the group I think. IT's all jet jets jets..abrams, abrams abrams.

[Tom12348]

It's not just for you, but for me as well, I want to play that gamemode again.
