Round 1 of the ‘Join Warrior’ battle series is over, and we, at SA Journal, are very proud of how this maiden battle panned out. We’ve had some of the finest pilots that DCS community has to offer, resulting into a lot of thrilling and action-packed face offs.

We’ve had two preliminary battles out of which 2 teams emerged victorious: the 51st PVO regiment and a 104th-backed coalition. This final battle lived up to everyone’s expectation. It was a battle of nerves in the sense that no points were scored after the first hour and half, as both teams were very effective at protecting high-value assets and maintaining fighter patrols over the target area.

After the first few kills, a decisive advantage was finally gained at the hands of Shaman with a Kh-58 shot that took out a high-value SA-15 at Sukhumi. That gave the upper hand to the Bisons and forced the blue team to start pushing in, in an attempt to break through 51st’s line of defense. The 104th Eagles managed to score couple of kills but that wasn’t enough to level the scores.

X-man from the 51st made a remarkable return to the DCS online scene by scoring the best individual air-to-air performance with 5 confirmed kills and no losses, winning in the process Simpit‘s grand prize!

Despite UVAF’s loss against the 51st’s in the preliminary battle, =DW=Omny gained the first place in the air-to-ground category by destroying four SA-15 air defense units in addition to one air-to-air kill before getting surrounded and shot down.

The 2nd Round (Op Quarterback) scheduled for July 26th is a promising sequel that could turn out to be an uphill battle with a lot at stake.
