ST_Nooney 41 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) The old Snarling Trolls Competition is up and running again in our server. Post your screen shots of your highest score at the end of any mission in our MP server, on here to win the Ace of the Month competition along with the medal AotM. It's open to all pilots from all squads, all posing rights and fame attached to is up to the monthly winning pilot, Hollywood rights remain with the Trolls Good luck. P.S. if there is no trolls server up use the Zoo server, he does the maps for both so same as Edited May 16, 2020 by ST_Nooney 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ST_Catchov 451 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Sorry chaps no high score pic yet. But I did come across a mission I've never played before in the mountains. Dunno what it's called but it's stunning. I was so mesmerised I got hit hard by something. Broken strut, wings peppered and a failing engine. Never did see who or what it was … hun or ground fire? Anyway, in a panicky kind of rage, I took it out on an all red Albie (was it him?) …. after which I thought …. time to vamoose, look for a landing spot and hope the crate holds. Well, It did hold as I flew as gently as possible over seemingly unending dense forest and mountainous terrain unsuitable for landing. And then just as hope seemed lost and I was preparing for an ignominious death, I spied a reasonably clear uphill stretch leading up to a plateau. I glided down and gently as I could touched down with reasonably good results. Saved! Hallelujah! Hoorah! Only to die of wounds and hunger eight days later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Zooropa_Fly 786 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Looks like 'The Snowy Peaks' Catchov. That's Nooney's favourite map, because it reminds him of his ex-wife's huge knockers. 🗻🗻 I think that's what he said anyway.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

NO.20_W_M_Thomson 410 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Is there a squad of the month? Link to post Share on other sites

I think that may be difficult Thomson, the obvious being the greater number in the squad the advantage would be with them. I suppose if you nominated 3 squad members who's scores would be the submitted score it could be done, other members of the squad wishing to take part could take a tactical role in shooting down any opposing chosen squad members, giving the advantage to the winning squad at the time. I could design a medal for that competition,any other squads interested in the comp' let me know? Link to post Share on other sites
NO.20_W_M_Thomson 410 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I was more or less thinking squad vs squad thing, Maybe even a 3 member squad, I absolutely do not want to see squad vs a single player, no better way of chasing off any players. Link to post Share on other sites

The difficulty lies there with time zones, and meeting at appropriate times to each member of the squad, I suppose it could be done with each nominated squad member submitting their individual score and amalgamating the submitted score against the other squads scores. I would think it would be that the scores rather than posted be submitted to a individual referee and once collected the total scores posted, in that I'm thinking if another squad seen a good score they would not bother competing. It is something we could look at later on but at the moment we are looking to get more individuals into FC, where some are not in a squad or intend joining one. The Trolls did introduce in ROF the duelist medal which was Gold, Silver and Bronze for each ascending score achieved for the newer pilots who found it difficult to compete with the aces of the sim, which could be adapted for the monthly scores for Ace of the Month.

1PL-KJ-1Esk 8 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 so is it the high score per mission or per month? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Highest score of the month Esk and if you do better before the month ends delete your post and post the better score, it's all fun buddy, even if it's not the highest score it will win a medal 1st 2nd and 3rd.

1PL-Banzai-1Esk 275 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 My bad , I thought number of kills was the challenge , not the score. Here's one on new DM. Three sorties. This should get the competition going. Four points shy of 200 points score , my OCD is killing me right now. Will get there next time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Zooropa_Fly 786 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Snowy Peaks, DVIIf. I'm thinking a map with no landing places is not the best idea when collecting points. 🤪 Link to post Share on other sites

Zooropa_Fly 786 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Nice, I wasn't expecting take off again. There's a decent landing spot in a gully, Entente side of the map around where the Germans enter the fighting area. Don't think I ever managed to take off again though, will re-visit that. So do I put ridge-top re-fuelling points in ? Link to post Share on other sites
1PL-Banzai-1Esk 275 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Good score Zoo, 22 kills, nice. Landing really helps with scoring more points for kills but the key I believe is making every bullet count. I average 8 kills in one sortie with Camel. AI can't fly for sh#t but it will still try to avoid being shot. My best sortie so far was 11 kills. Land when out of ammo , finish flight to collect points. Rinse and repeat. Now what's interesting is that highest score can be achieved on Arras map with ground targets, tanks etc. I destroyed 6 tanks in less than 15 minutes, scoring 90 points. So with good system I could see scores going past 300 points. Link to post Share on other sites
Zooropa_Fly 786 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thanks Banzai - I noticed you racking them up earlier and was expecting to see a new record in by now. I was thinking it was number of kills rather than points when I did that lol. Got #22 in the last second - thought I'd drawn level ! S! Link to post Share on other sites

I think if you cock your landing up you lose points, also their is nothing wrong with shooting a high scorer down in the server to protect your score, all tactical, I suppose they have a right to be pissed off tho' if your on the same side Link to post Share on other sites

ST_Catchov 451 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Well just to show I've been trying, here's the best I've got after finally having played a full mission earlier tonight (Aussie time). Sad I know but at least I didn't die. Snowy Peaks (Nooney's ex) and a successful landing amongst the bristols mountains. Link to post Share on other sites
Zooropa_Fly 786 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 There used to Bristol's in that map, but they kept bouncing off eachother so I whipped them out. I think it was something to do with the mountains. S! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ST_Nooney 41 Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 On Troll server tonight, we had at one time 8 pilots in, so looking good. My score for the AotM, 3 of my deaths were wing folds with no hits on them, don't like the new DM update, Camel wings to fragile. Link to post Share on other sites

Zooropa_Fly 786 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Camel - Ternoise map. It has the closest AF's so that's probably where the quickest action is. I re-armed after the 1st flight, but if you're going for max score it's better to re-spawn - get the landed points in the bag. I didn't intend going for it, missed the start and muffed up a landing costing a few points. I think you could do it Banzai ! Link to post Share on other sites

I think for next months and there after we will go for planes destroyed as the score, it's a crown to aim for (pun intended) and a world record attempt that would be hard to beat would be something to see, although I think 34 planes in under an hour has to be max concentration with no harassment from a Troll lol.

ST_Catchov 451 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Well mine's easy to beat but I'm a noob to the online thing (never having a decent internet connection before). I presented my sad report just to show the lads I was participating and to support Zoo Wings/Snarling Trolls. And fast food servers are a great place to learn and have fun. Ain't that what it's all about. I hope it attracts a lot of players. But Zoo's results will be very hard to beat. 👀 Link to post Share on other sites
