Here we go! After our successful first round of the Joint Warrior battle series, we are back for more action and pleased to announce the sequel that we codenamed ‘Op Quarterback’, a name that is self-explanatory as strategy and tactics will once again be key to success.


We have decided to try 10v10 this time (8 fighters + 2 strikers).
Kick off has been set for Saturday July 26 at 17:00 Zulu
Please use this link for time reference:

Participants will be put into teams of 10 pilots each. A team may need to win preliminary battles in order to make it into the final faceoff depending on the number of participants.

Mission objective will remain the same: Fighters will go for air superiority over the target area to protect own assets and make way for strikers to engage primary targets.

Maverick, JW’s mission designer has amended the mission from round 1 as below:

• Gudauta has become neutral and all red troops have moved to Sochi.
• SA-15 (Tors) have been removed from the target area (Sochi/Sukhumi), thus protecting ground HVT’s will rely entirely on BARCAPs from fighters.
• Tankers have been removed while AWACS will still be there.
• Scoring-wise: Only ground targets at Sochi/Sukhumi will award points to strikers. No need for doubling the points out there anymore.
• Knock-out rule (All primary targets destroyed) has been removed, the side with the best score after 3 hours will be declared winner.
