SA Magazine is proud to announce the launch of ‘SA Battles’, a new Multiplayer combat league starting this month as a SA Rankings official T.M.C event (Tactical Mission / Campaign).
SA-Battles were created to give the multiplayer community more events and the chance to work as part of a large scale organized coalition with realistic objectives and missions.
Events will be split into 2 different formats.
First is the traditional Red vs Blue with both teams having equal air and ground assets just like previous OPFOR events.
The second format will mirror real world Red Flag operation as close as possible with an outnumbered RedFor taking on an extremely capable BluFor. Outnumbered Redfor is aka the Aggressor or Adversary squadron. RedFor pilots for the Red Flag events will be selected based on the SA rankings as a way to ensure that, although outnumbered, they can rely on a roster made of highly skilled pilots!
The event missions will be large scale and engineered to replicate modern day air war objectives. Both sides in all SA-Battle events will be fully complimented with EWR and AWACS assets from the off. We have chosen to steer away from the traditional ‘Target Area’ set up for SA-Battles, instead the ground war will exclusively focus on the SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defence)assets and EWR stations. The ‘air war’ is all about total air supremacy over friendly ground stations and the protection of AWACS and Tanker assets, this results in both teams having to plan very carefully in the assignment of CAPs and managing the number of aircraft available during the 4 hour competition.
Red and Blue sides will both be lead by a Force Commander (FoComm) the selection of the FoComm will be done on an application basis through the new SA forum.
