NoZoul 358 Report post Posted July 1, 2018 Hello, Since it's obviously easy to get confused about being frustrated in this section of the forum I want to clarify that I am not attacking any specific squadron or anything like it. Only want to ask a genuine question about Squadron Battles As you can see in this screenshot, 8 out of 10 squadrons in the Top 10 have played for roughly 1 day 20 hours. I know for a fact that my own squadron "Band Of Scrubs" started playing the very moment the new season began, and we haven't stopped playing since. Only the forced downtimes of course. So how is it that Nr 1 and 2 squadrons are ahead of us with an entire day, 24 hours and the other one 12 hours respectively. I know time-zones are a thing, but the squadron battles start at the same time no matter your own time-zone, or am I getting confused? Perhaps @Smin1080p knows some. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalynᅠ 4 Report post Posted July 1, 2018 I think it might be that the other squadrons are playing 4 or more groups at once, so it would add a **** ton more time in battle. Just an Idea though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoZoul 358 Report post Posted July 1, 2018 I was thinking along the same lines, but would be nice with some clarification. Does running more squads at the same time increase overall time spent in battle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologian 73 Report post Posted July 3, 2018 Yes, running more than 1 team of 8 increases the overall time spent by your squadron in squadron battles. Also there is a European and an American time slot. So everyday there are 2 slots to play in. Therefore for teams like TYT, Promo and KD who run 2-3 teams most days can gain time exponentially compared to a team playing 1 team in 1 slot a day.

PlanetP 890 Report post Posted July 3, 2018 This discussion exposes what everyone knows anyway - rank and tag borders mean nothing as Squadron Battles is not a real representation of a squadron's skill, only a reflection of a squadron's ability to outnumber it's opponents. Squadron Battles is like a league of professional sports teams with no rules - the best players eventually gravitate to the best squadron (or form a new team/squadron) with no restriction other than which players the coaches (commanders) want. In pickup sports the comparison would be if the first team got to pick all it's players before anybody else picks anyone. In our squadron, we play Squadron Battles for fun and ignore the prizes and positions because the outcome is preordained between a few select squadrons that can field multiple teams of players in both windows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
