Inter's Bombing Challenge

Inter's Bombing Challenge

This challenge is now live!  There is no definitive end date and there is no scoring/ranking system, so feel free to give it a whack whenever you feel up to this type of challenge. 

The general idea of the challenge is to use the BDArmory mod weaponry to attack ground targets at designated locations in an assortment of nine scenarios.  Most targets are weapon systems that will shoot back at you, hence the challenge.

--Rules--

The rules are very extensive and far too verbose for me to put into this post.  Please follow these links to the videos I have made which cover all of the rules.  You will need to abide by all of them or else risk being disqualified. 
Furthermore, the files you will need in order to play this challenge are listed as links in these videos' Descriptions.

Rule set #3 "Intelligence Brief"

--Winners--

Since there will be no "first place" or "best contestant", what we are instead competing for is Bragging Rights!  The following is a list of some of the bragging rights I conceived off the top of my head.  I hope this thread's discussion will see additional bragging rights proposed and competed for! 
fastest aircraft
slowest aircraft
lightest aircraft
heaviest aircraft
longest fuel range
least amount of fuel spent
biggest payload space
most munitions carried
cheapest armament
all guns, baby!
strafing attacks only!
most received damage without dying
ghost assassin (no retaliation)
precision strikes
carpet bombing
longest kill
closest kill
fastest mission time
fewest munitions spent
most unlikely-to-succeed craft
torpedo Deep Sixer award
wingman mastermind
brutality / overkill
missile dodging
exemplary jamming & countermeasures
night mode (do the attempts at night)

--Conduct--

I hope I don't need to state the obvious but please be polite, be open-minded, be encouraging, be enthusiastic, and do not cheat.  Unpleasant people will not be welcome to have a voice in this thread.  Thank you.

Ooh, a chance for me to try out my 98%-Stock* cruise missile! I've been waiting for a challenge like this! Now to design a delivery vehicle...

Thanks for the effort you put into making these, Inter! I love doing scenarios of my own, but then I always know exactly where everything is and how to beat it, so a fresh set of challenges I know nothing about is so much fun to try.

@Inter - Scenario downloads?

I'd love to take BDAc through some of your setups

I do not know how to do replies in this medium.  It's one of the many things I dislike about this forum.  I'm attempting to reply to Samwise but I fear this may appear as nothing more than a new miscellaneous post.

Samwise, I like the format of your attempt post!  Looking forward to seeing the edited video(s).

Edit: ...Aaaaand, a reply I wrote on my own thread still needs to be approved by a moderator.  Does everyone have to suffer this when they come to this website?

You just did.   It's a single thread for each topic, there's no branching "tree". If you want to respond publicly to one specific person, you can just use the quote function on all or part of their post. (Click the "quote" link by their post to quote the whole thing. Highlight a section and click the "quote" tooltip to quote just part.). They'll get a notification that you quoted them.

Also, you can "mention" a user by putting an @ sign in front of their name. That will send them a notification that you mentioned them.

Yup. An unfortunately necessary countermeasure against spambots. It'll drop away automatically after you've made a few posts.

Well, all missions are done and the videos are up now. Not the best quality and some of them turn into a bit of a slideshow with the amount of debris lying around, but I think I got everything I was supposed to as well as most of the explosions.

I'm going to have to finish my Blackjack and see how it fares. She's a huge target though, so we'll see.
