Do you think you have what it takes to be the best Flettner pilot in the game? Now is the time to put your skills to the ultimate test.
In this BF1942: Secret Weapons tournament, 8 pilots will fight in a knockout tournament that starts at the Quarter-Finals.
The tournament map will be the Flettner Arena map, which can be downloaded here. You must have the Secret Weapons expansion in order for this map to work. Install instructions are provided in the README file which is found inside the "Flettner Arena.zip" file.
In this cup, there is room for 8 contestants. Signing up for the cup is done on a first come, first served basis. All cup registration will be handled on this topic, and cup progress will be posted here. There is no need to register anywhere else, nor is there any need to track the progress of the cup on a third-party website.
At present, I have been told that it does not show up in the master server list, so you must add the server manually using the IP:Port combination in the banner to join it. The server password is "tournament" (without brackets).
On the first post of this thread, the cup start date, list of contestants and progress will all be available.
To sign up for the cup, simply provide the following information:
A) Your nickname for the tournament
B) A date and time when you are available
C) Country
Requirements to be a cup contestant:
1. You must be registered on the SiMPLE forums
2. You must have BF1942: Secret Weapons of WWII expansion
3. You must download and install the Flettner Arena map on your computer
The sign up process will close once we have 8 registrations. When the full number of contestants is reached, the "CUP LIVE DATE" (the date on which the cup starts) will be posted here.
If someone wants to live stream the matches, you are free to do so. As a cup contestant you are also encouraged to film your matches, but this is not mandatory.
Match rules
1) All matches will take place on the SiMPLE RtR/SW Tournaments server
2) The game mode for the cup is Conquest, you must fight for the middle flag in the air and hold it
3) Match time is set to 20 minutes, for only 1 round
4) It is forbidden to attack ground targets, you may only score a frag if both helicopter pilots are airborne
5) Attacking the enemy uncap is forbidden. Combat vs the enemy engages as soon as one pilot leaves his main base
6) It is permitted to retreat to your main base to repair. Helipads are available in the main bases for that purpose
7) Screenshots of every match results must be taken at the end of each round, or the match will not be valid

Yup I had tons of lag too... Flettner propellers are really laggy.
I'm reinstalling the server, as it's having some issues. Don't try to join the server in the next 45 - 60 minutes as it will be down. Thanks.
Nice idea Black Mamba with this tournament! I would like to join but now it's too late to participate, so that's sad.
...
What did i say?

Just wait for Flettnerman

Well, if some players that registered for the tournament fail to show up/become inactive, you could jump in to replace them.
Only two matches remain in the Quarter Finals: red army vs uly and Hydra vs blackbomb_115.
LuccaWulf vs Jim2102 is done, waiting on screenshot.
...
Wooooo! Lucky shot at minute 5+ .... Mediiiiiiiiiiic!!!!
Very nice at minute 11.

Nice pilot kills on 7:12 and 8:48. Anyway, controlling the heli is much harder than plane, so there's the first vid with not bad level of this. Thumbs up guys and thx for video, was really nice to see!
Thanks for uploading the video, I watched it all. I think you had several hits that didn't get registered.
Very nice Jim! Well played. I would also record, if my computer wasn't so shitty.
I updated the results.

Ok the map is now on SoH Server too.

I have some Flettners in a custom map i made, and they are real lag-machines. Connection problems is standard with them. So i´ve been thinking for a long time to see if i could improve this behavior somewhat, but i dunno if its worth the effort. What do you guys think? [/Offtopic]

Yes that would really help. The lag is probably caused by the Rotational Bundles that form the propellers? Maybe improper network info is tied to them.
Worth a look.

Yeah im thinking network-info too. The B17 also has some problems with its four engine setup. Will see if i can do some smoothing, but it will be for custom maps tho, unfortunately one cant make network-info changes to the standard game.
Can the rest of the players that have their Quarter Final matches to do give an approximate date on which they can play their matches? (Uly, Hydra, blackbomb, red_army).
Deadline for Quarter Final matches is until January 8th, 2017. If you still havent played your quarter finals match please do so asap so we can move on to the next stage of the tournament!
The next match will be red army vs uly on January 28th on the {SoH} War Server!
