Salute!

Welcome to Flying Coffins...a unique online tournament format designed for Sierra's Red Baron 3D aerial warfare game.

Feel free to read the rules and join any online practice session.
Currenly, the FC server comes up every Saturday for practice.

Scheduled matches will be announced on Red Baron community forums- (Wings of Valor, RB3D.net, Jasta 30 forum)

Each tournament match is 1 hour and 45 minutes in length and the scores for each match will be posted on the Flying Coffins forum.


Overview of the Flying Coffins format:

Flying Coffins takes place in the southern Flanders region. Pilots entering the field will select to fly one plane type during the entire match.

There is a limit on the total number (availability) of each plane type, which may leave someone to fly an older plane. This requires your team to plan whether to protect these machines with escorts or fly stealthy routes into enemy territory.

Pilots who fly the elite aircraft will have the higher responsibility of keeping their machine intact, as elite aircraft are a higher point value if they get shot down.

Pilots continue to use the same 'supply' drome throughout each match regardless if it gets destroyed.

Dromes along the front lines act only to repair and rearm friendly planes who may need to land.

Flying Coffins has implemented the 'Target Goal Bonus'. Destroy all targets of similar type and receive a bonus for that target group.

Alternating every 15 minutes, one of the rear supply dromes will become a highly valued target. Your bombers have only this limited time to take down the drome to get the points for it.

Pilots may shoot at other aircraft anywhere and at any time. Bombers may use rockets against other aircraft.

You can find the rules on the rules page with more detailed information.
