    Hi everyone :)

    Linch and I were discussing the idea of having a NNG Group Night specifically for War Thunder.

    The problem (at least in the game's current state) is that you can't have a squad of more than four people. We're hoping this changes. So as far as going into a big multi player event, we're stuck with four people. Even if we have two of more separate squads, with four people each and all hit the Battle button at the same time, the chances of us all ending up in the same server on the same team are slim.

    So what we're thinking is we can use Custom Battles :D

    We can setup a specific game, on a specific map, password protect it, make it night time, do whatever we want really. We can even turn off AI bots so it would just be us. I know you don't get points in custom battles but it could still be a lot of fun.

    What we used to do when BF3 first came out was formation flying and stunts and we'd film it all. It was a great time to just goof around. It sort of brought the group closer together.

    Some possible game modes / events we can participate in:

    • Large group formation flying for some awesome pictures
    • Cat and mouse mode (one person is "it") and everyone else has to take them down. Whoever takes them down them becomes "it".
    • Straight dog fighting.
    • Bridge flying. Everyone takes off at the same time and all try to pass under a low level bridge at the same time.
    I mean, I'm just spitballing here but I think the event itself could be fun.
    If we do decide to open these events (in the match settings) to public players it would be a good opportunity for us to get some exposure in the WT world.
    If you're interested reply here and let's get some more ideas going. Once we have them we'll set a date and go to down!

    L.O.V.E. this idea :)

    In the Role Call thread, there are currently 15 people on the master list, of varying degrees of activity. I also have others in my friend list in game that have the game installed, but have been completely in-active for weeks (you know who you are!). Also, I'm willing to bet we have other people that are on the fence about trying the game out, and it would be great if an event like this would give them that needed push to download the game & try it out :)

    A few ideas I was thinking of:

    - all players have tier 2 buffalo, 2 team dogfight on a small map.
    - have all players on one team, and the other team all AI planes, and see who racks up the most kills in the round.

    To help get the word out, perhaps after we set a date, make a banner for it and place it in the scrolling banner section of the forums, like was done with the Send Jamm to SOE thing.

    We'll also need another WT TS channel so we can split the teams when we're dogfighting each other.


    Very excited to hear any other ideas you guys can come up with... lets make this happen! :)

    The tag game should be a matter of ramming the lead dude, and I'm in,

    For the multi groups, we just need to do the same that I did with warframe, a squad 1 and squad 2 channel

    That's not a ram though... I'd just sit on the ground taxiing in circles.
