ShotMagnet Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 A long time ago Hell_Hound ran a series of gunnery scenarios as a contest. Not surprisingly, it was called Gun Camp.I talked to him a while ago about doing this again, to which he gave his blessing. That being the case, and now that I don't have to baby-sit Counterstroke, I'm thinking about going ahead with the idea.At the moment the idea looks something like this-A set of common scenarios where individuals and/or teams engage targets of various types, with each scenario emphasizing different aspects of gunnery (with TIS, without, with LRF, without, battlesight engagements, TOW proficiency, etc). Awards to be handed out for best overall score, best time-to-kill, accuracy, ammo-usage (fewest shots taken, for example) etc. A judge monitors each competitor or set thereof; the judge coming from a pool of maybe four or five who can't be bought (cheaply, anyway). The judges vet and finalize results, and post the stats as they come out. Winners are announced publicly in this forum. Any takers? Sean, if this idea gets legs, can we gin up some awards with which to bedeck the winners, like the ones for the scenario contest. If necessary, I'll design them.Shot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuikovChambered Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 If you can get the thing up and running, I'd be happy to enter for a simple reason; I have something to prove to all of you, esp. Mog: I know how to shoot! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidelthefallguy Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'm guessing your talking about single player and coop missions for this. I'm up for it. one question. Will we be able to choose which tank/avf we can us, or will there be a ladder( so to speak) for each MBT? I ask because I'll own on the loe's, but I have no chance with a m1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotMagnet Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 ...I have something to prove to all of you...That attitude is not welcome. I do not intend for Gun Camp to become or allow others to make it into a personal grudge match. You are welcome to compete, provided that you can do so in the spirit and demeanor of friendly competition. Gun Camp however is not concerned with and will not allow itself to devolve into a medium for bragging rights. You will compete under the terms and conditions which are implicit with the phrases 'good sportsmanship' and 'friendly competition' or you will not be allowed to participate. If either phrase does not bear meaning for you, then I suggest in the strongest of terms that you do not embarrass yourself by participating.Will we be able to choose which tank/avf we can us, or will there be a ladder( so to speak) for each MBT? I ask because I'll own on the loe's, but I have no chance with a m1.At the moment I'd say that you can choose an AFV, but in doing I'd also say that choosing a particular vehicle would limit your options regarding scoring, awards, etc.Shot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying was coming on the heels of CS 6, where I'd disproved Mog's claim that I needed to learn how to shoot, okay?On an unrelated note, what do you think of my new signature? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Great idea Shot, and I think it will be a lot of fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalAB Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Count me in. This will show me where I need improvment. Give us some lead time though as I'll need to go over a few things in preperation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotMagnet Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 This isn't going to happen anytime soon, I still need to figure out how I'm going to set this up. When HH did this, Steel Beasts had two playable AFV, now there's eleventy-million and six. At the moment I'm thinking about divvying the whole thing up into separate events, to be held once every three months or so. You'll have plenty of time to get ready, for that reason. I'll maybe start this in March, but certainly not before then.Shot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
