I also was hoping for a bit of the Korean war arena ingame, A bit of Sabre-MiG combat would really make the game alot more in depth

It is problem to have a single jet to run Korea...


I would really love to see some more early jets and early jets arena:

British

- Meteor Mk III (WW2 actually - must for AH2)
- de Havilland Vampire/Sea Vamprire

American

- P-80
- F-84
- F-86
- F9F

Russian

- MiG-15

French

- Dassault Ouragan
- Dassault Mystère IV

Also a gyro gunsite would be needed

I've sat in the F9F Cougar (the swept-wing version of Panther, not the thirty-five plus year old woman prowling for twenty-something men) on display onboard the U.S.S. Yourtown at Patriot Point, SC.  Cool stuff.

Is the screenshot from the Korea mod for one of ThirdWire's games (i.e. Strike Fighers 2)?

Wishlist.   Nice screenshot. Wrong game.    Good plane

+1

I think a Korean war arena could be fun so +1  

That being said I think it should be closer in function to the MA then the WW1 arena so that people will actually go there and fight. Much as I love to fly those little canvas deathtraps most people seem to avoid the place like the plague because nobody has handed them an objective.

I see we have a critic.

When we have filled out WW2 VERY well, with even "oddball" planes like the TB-3, then a look into the Korean Era Arena is in the works.   I still give this a +1.

no but in the 12 years i have been here its been brought up a few times with no end in sight

I would like to see a Korean War Arena added eventually, but concede that its likely a long way off.  However, I don't want it so much for the jets (although they would be fun) as the additional propeller driven aircraft that could be added to the game.  We already have some aircraft in AH that flew in Korea as well, so for a relatively minor initial effort (adding a handfull of new planes) we could have a credible Korean War Arena.  Also, there are a few new aircraft that could be added that flew in both WW2 and Korea.  I'm not a GV guy, so I can't speak to what (if any) current GV's were used in Korea.

Aircraft already modeled that flew in Korea:
B-29
F4U
LA-7
P-51
Seafire
Yak-9
C-47

Unmodeled aircraft that flew in both WW2 and Korea:
A-26
Tu-2
Gloster Meteor

Other Korean War aircraft:
IL-28
A-1 Skyraider
McDonnell F2H
F7F
F9F
Sea Fury
IL-10
La-11
La-9
F-94 Starfire
P-80 Shooting Star
Mig-15
F-82 Twin Mustang
F-86 Sabre
F-84
Helicopters

I've probably missed a few......  Obviously there are still many things to be added to AH for WW2 so I'm not saying that a Koren War Arena should be a priority, but why not someday?  Now, the question is, would anyone fly in it?  I do remember the Korean War Arena in AW being a ghost town most of the time, but I think that if enough new aircraft were added (i.e. not just the F-86 and Mig-15) that it could be a credible alternative arena.
