How to setup custom same as SQB

[japaddp 49]

Is there any way to setup a custom battle exactly the same as it is in the SQB, with battle rating limtations and  air spawn only for bombers and some jets?

If yes, how to do that?

 

Thanks in advance

sadly not the air spawn/airfield spawn aspect.

 

Everything else though you can.

 

one second

 

You can create a match for squadron battles with the following settings



First set it to a custom game and choose weather and if you want bots or not.

you can also set your bots tier level and if you want them in planes or tanks (cant have them on both, but depending on the map it will spawn standard AI tanks anyway, for example on Kuban or Carpathians)

make sure to have air battles set to no.

turning this on turns it into an arcade ground forces match where you can spawn in a plane after a few kills.

Other settings are all your own preferences.

If you want to practice dogfighting without spotting icons, set bots to planes and put it to 32 bots and practice shooting down a variety of tier IV fighters and bombers




Moving on

Picking custom settings will lead to this screen to appear. thankfully a lot of bits are preset by the first choice, setting engine control to realistic will pretty much make everything else match standard realistic in terms of flight performance. The main thing to focus on here is spotting

you want detection distance near
Shared vision ON (this is the icon that pops up when a teammate hits an enemy I believe)
hud prediction off
unit names and distances to allies only (you can turn it off completely or set it to simulator settings [tanks dont get them at all, planes only at close range]) but allies only is best match for SQB
set the rendering distance to near: this will cause allied markers to vanish over a distance so you can practice identifying friend from foe like it would in real SQB while in the air (not sure of effect on ground)






Pretty much all indicators or helpers off from here on

markers on the map can be set to allies only or just the player himself. etc you can put two different settings for planes and tanks

I think HUD radar is actually meant to be on for tanks, sorry I mostly tested for aircraft.

 

 

turn respawns off to limit everyone to just one life.

 

I dont think you can put in tier/br locks though.

 

you can lock them to specific nations though
