While waiting for Multiplayer mods, we can still pit our planes in dogfighting combat against one another using the AI. This is the official announcement for the competition, as I have posted before on reddit/forums. Formal Ruleset below.

FEAR NOT MOBILE USERS! Submit your plane to me with instructions on where the gun(s) should go, and I will add them for you!

Only one plane per player can be submitted.

For this particular challenge, the rules would be WW2 STYLE that means no jets or rockets. (If this is popular, We can set up different rulesets and even do some AI racing.)

A maximum of two wing guns or one Gatling gun will be allowed, as big firepower just destroys planes in one shot. I'm looking for a little bit more drama in the dogfights.

Each submitted Plane will be pitted in a series of AI vs AI battles. The spawns would be set to "Close," as far away battles tend to turn into one pass death to consistently.

Since spawn positions can have a pretty big impact, each match will be a race to five victories. A victory is defined any time your opponent is destroyed, weather by weapons, or maneuvering.

Since spawns can still affect a shortish series, the tournament would be double elimination.

If both planes are destroyed, both planes receive a victory tally, however you cannot win a series on a draw. If one player is at four victories, a definitive winner is needed for the series to proceed.

IF! I get enough entries, the grand final winner will take home some sort of prize. (An indie game on steam)

The matches would be streamed or put on Youtube.

    @Sirstupid I think I'm going to do youtube instead. My computer can record alright, but streaming strains it.
