Let the disco commence! JollyGreenGI takes on inigma. Had a few technical difficulties running the match, but in the end JollyGreenGI take the win 2-0. Love the lights on the new crafts

Yeah, I was expecting a night battle against Phantom. I think I'll keep them enabled for now on anyways

Oh crap, I forgot. Well it won't change the outcome, one of the other hosts can run it at night if they want

In an effort to prevent host burnout, from this moment forward, all entries must state they have been tested against the current king of the hill or any previous king in the current series. Entries not stating such will be denied.  

All existing entries before this post are excepted.

If you wish to withdraw your entry, please state so! 

The effort to unseat a king is getting tougher. Hopefully this will also make watching the series more entertaining as the difficulty rises.

If you wish to duel someone outside of the ASC King of the Hill division in an open challenge and post your own battle results, please look at the Air Superiority Challenge: The Crucible division thread.

Yep, I gotta make a new one based on the test failures.  I still like this thing though.

KSP: ASC King of the Hill Matuchkin vs JollyGreenGI

 

Even gave Matuchkin an extra round to score a kill. JollyGreenGI's disco lights proved overwhelming. 3-0 victory.

JollyGreenGI, I ran our battle, it was awesome, 5 minutes processing left ;p

KSP: ASC King of the Hill g00bd0g vs JollyGreenGI

 

Super fun fight! I genuinely love JollyGreenGI crafts, they look awesome and perform even better! Unfortunately, the aptly named VulTurRapto is inhabited by a cruel AI which mercilessly punishes those who dare oppose it. g00bd0g wins 3-0. I look forward to our next battle

Having just run 15 matches to get to mine, I am going to take a breather and let the other hosts run some matches, especially now that it's a conflict of interest

I think I will join inigma's or start my own "self hosted" tourney.

[Draconiator]

Bearshark-A, decided to do some refining.  Will test ASAP.

[JollyGreenGI]

@g00bd0g Aww man, I didn't have time to update the AI to combat VulTur

Good job tho

Great battle, and now you have a solid benchmark to test against. Anyone who defeats VulTurRaptor will have a scary beast indeed.

I've redesigned and improved my Fighter plane design, and tested it against multiple challengers.

It's better than before, but it's gonna need some more power to defeat the VulTurRapto.

So, I think we've got a good definition of meta now:

-AIM-120 spam

-Lasers/turret spam

-Lifting surfaces spam

-Clipping in some cases

-Maneuverability to the point ECM is almost useless

 

[Draconiator]

Yeah, oooops this contest moves REALLY fast but I managed to win against Jolly Green...somehow, so I am submitting this thing.  Unofficial video first.

 

 

And my craft file, the "KDAF-4a Bearshark-A"  I lost the first round, won the next two.

 

Good luck against it...hehe

Eeh, I think I'm gonna try one more conventional design before I cover a battery with lasers.

@inigma I'd like to re-submit some of my contenders. Remove both contenders I have on the OP right now (LA-41 Megalodon, LD-41 Megalodon), and replace them with this single fighter: The LD-41 Megalodon M

[Monkey29399]

The VulTurRapto is going to be really hard to defeat, I've just ran a test match against it and got destroyed.

[JollyGreenGI]

Alright, here's my second go at it:

TAM-Y22D "Fiesta" QUIET

Still a mostly conventional design, with some lessons learned from Matador.  

In 1v1, takes VulTurRaptor 6/10. Still ironing out AI.

Yeah, because the Thassa is next; I'm a little nervous facing it considering the VulturRaptor has astounding reach and agility and that despite my best efforts, the Thassa has little to no room for improvement, I'm thinking AI but the problem is that I don't know how to improve upon it there.

But if you guys do music suggestions here's a little thing I'd like.

Here's hoping the Thassa either usurps the throne or kicks harder than Chuck Norris in the womb.

EDIT: yeah, I am also getting tired of the Mortal Kombat remixes

Attempting a new design. 

Going traditional for this one.

[Spearka]

I'm afraid I might have to withold my entry for the moment, the AI is being completely sh*tfaced. It keeps overshooting turns, it never uses the Vulcans for anything and resorts entirely to 50.Cals at close range. I'll let you guys know when I have a fix for this

EDIT: I've managed to fix the issue, turns out the AI has a big deal with planes whose centre of lift is on the centre of mass. I've also replaced the 50.Cals and hidden Vulcans with quad turrets and it works splendidly

I ran 2 test matches with this new setup and the Thassa won both. I can call myself now properly ready

The KerbalX page has already been updated

Can anyone point me to the download of the F-22 cockpits mod? It's not available on the mod page.

I am too. I recommend a new third round change up. 

OP updated with current roster, all qualified entries to date. Also updated links to required mods.
