This was the first event with modified GAC aircraft. A set of 7 classes were developed so that each side would have aircraft with identical performance, balancing the playing field. Check out the YSFHQ Forum Topic for this event!
The second Red vs Blue event took place on 28 November 2020 and was hosted by Waspe414 (Ultraviolet). 14 players participated in an 1 hour long Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground shootout. The base map for this event was 2ch Map Ver. 100905 but with additional ground objects hosted by the server.
The Blue team won with a score of 22370 to 20965. This event had mini-objectives and points awards for accomplishments, but in the end, the overwhelming Air-to-Air combat victory margin held by the Blue team was insurmountable.
