Nothing like a PTO once in a blue moon to bring out the doom and gloom prophets and the nay-sayers.

Glad everyone has given it a shot....since it hasn't even frieking run yet

What a bunch of sissys.

Axis has 262/163's and Allies have Temp/F4U4, not completely even but close enough for me. I'll probably fly both sides since both have interesting plane choices we dont see very often. I think we at least owe it to the CT staff to give it a try before declaring it a failure.

Maybe give the IJA the 109D9 reskinned as a Ki-xx instead of the La7 since the LW guys will be more familiar with it?

Personally, I like the fact that the CT induces me to fly planes I would not have otherwise flown if I was in the MA. I have gotten proficient (or at least acceptable) in many planes I would never have given the time (all 109's, 110's, D9, Tiffie) to fly at all, much less get to like. Now I enjoy those planes, especially the Tiffie.

Not. Just tellin' you where it comes from bruthah. The premise actually started out as what appeared to me as a tongue in cheek suggestion about giving the Japanese Jets (since any and all setups with F4Us in them generally gets cried about because of the huge and awesome and overpowering difference in speed). Reschke picked up the ball and ran with it. I figured if it had a chance in hades without it being whined to death before the setup was even turned on in the arena that I'd at least try to make it sound remotely plausible and maybe see about finally promoting a CT setup outside of this forum. Of course, I forgot that even setups that are more realistic than this one get whined about from beginning to end in the CT forum. Which is a good reason to promote it elsewhere anyhow.

I'll be doing the same for Squire's setup (and every CTDev setup that comes out). Maybe players won't try to whine his to death until they at least give it a try first.

But there will be more setups, over time, that involve some AR "what if" in them. Everything in AH is a "what if" anyhoo. Even if AH had a planeset that included every single plane, vehicle and ship that hit the drawing boards from 1925-1945 it would be. It's the pure nature of playing a sim and not being reenactors. This time it just started out with some (or alot even) "what if" already in place. Wait until you see my Star Trek transporter A-bomb one get announced. Players will wear ash cloth and cut themselves.

Hey Arlo, I want to feel the love too, you know?

Squire,

"Banners By Arlo" is nothing if not accomodating.

I'll try this one--Big blue Vs, Everything Japanese, just what the Arlonians were calling for!

Hehe, very nice. We will be calling on you in the future.

The "Arlonians" suggested Lavochian subs for the Ki-84 and/or Ki-100 a loooong time ago as well. That didn't make it. This did. Don't conveniently forget that.

I don't recall any setup being whined out. Voicing your opinon is not whining. Maybe accusing people of whining is a way to deal with the fact they may not like the same thing you do. If it's floats your frigate weigh anchor sailor!:D

Actually I can't whine about this, he Allies are going to have all the advantages , unless they cross paths with the jets. This ought to be fun, just think the idea of ther LA's to back up the Japanese is better than the jets. You even said that yourself.

Erg has posted an idea that maybe using less is more. By using less plane types per side , say one or two fighter types per side per setup. This sounds like a good idea too , it would make each setup, a little more unique. Anyway I'm rootin for this scenario ., we need something to make the PTO's more appealing if this is it....... That makes you da man MARLO!:aok
