Navy great! but.....

[Hajo]

I'm all for introducing carriers, cruisers and the like into AH!  It will of course be fun.  But as a dedicated flight sim junkie, who likes to see the proper terrain for such naval operations, I'm hoping that in the future euro and pac arenas could be separate!  All pac theater craft would be relegated only to the PAC Theater, including aircraft that operated in the PAC theater of operations.  Likewise I would hope that a Euro Arena would also be included with only aircraft and of course ships that operated exclusively in that theater of operations!  Of course the main arena is fun now, but the addition of Islands and harbors for the PAC Theater would be spectacular, and likewise a sort of English Channel could be incorporated into the EURO scene....any thoughts on the matter????

I always liked the forced switching between ETO and PAC in AWDOS.  Others hated it.

A setup such as the one you suggest would be great for scenarios and such, but I like the idea that any plane can fly in any theatre.  Where else but a sim can you explore the "what if" possibilities.  I've seen all the historical stuff on WWII aviation I want to on the history channel.  Let's expand into something we haven't seen.

In short - plane/theatre match-ups for scenarios, exploration and speculation otherwise.

Once  the population of AH gets  up alittle, this will work otherwise you'll end up with alot of empty arenas.

i dont like exploration

when i am flying corsair, i wanna shoot zekes

when im in a spit, i wanna flame 109s

when im in a pony, i wanna kill doras.

everything else doesnt feel right

I agree with Sudz.  When I'm flying the Niki, I like to kill.  Anything.  When I'm flying the P51, I also like to kill.  Anything.  And if I wanna wing up with a squadmate, I don't have to worry about what he wants to fly...I'll fly the Niki, and Fatman can fly that big ugly silver brick called the P47 right next to me

 The Main Arena isn't historical based at all anyway and having Spit vs Typhoon fights and P-51's chomping on P-38's is as realistic as F6F versus 190/F4U fights too.
  Since carriers will be moving I see no need to split up Pac and Euro. That was the major problem with an all aircraft arena in AW. The CV's didn't move. They were like airfields in different clothing.
  I see the addition of the Naval factor to what we have now to be simply incredible and I for one can't wait. Especially for scenarios.
 I just hope only Naval aircraft can spawn at the CV groups.  Now landing a P-47 and rearming on a CV's hotpad and then taking off again is another matter altogether     If I find I can do it then it shouldn't  be disallowed IMO. Unless CV landings are ridiculously easy
