wondering why so many people dislike late war Eastern Front??

Quote
109G10/190D-9 much very nice Yak-9U and La7


My distaste for them comes from the fact that I cannot fly the 109G10 to save my life, simply put I'm REALLY BAD with it (worse than usual).  I find the 190D9 boring to fly, perhaps it's because I don't fly it well but it's apparent lack of manuverability just makes for boring fights for me.   I really enjoy the Yak-9U, but with the la7 present it seems to pretty much garauntee the LW will be vastly outnumbered nearly all the time.  And if I want someone to shoot at without having to argue with teammates over who's gonna kill them I end up spending the week flying axis in planes I have no skill in and little desire to learn.  

I do enjoy mid-early war LW rides though. :)

Like:
Most setups - esp. early war

Dislike:
Set ups that give one side both the best turner and fastest planes.
Set ups with over 5 fighter types/sub-types on one side.
Set ups that mix two allied countries together:  
- US and Brit Vs. Germany
- US and Brit Vs. Japan

Hate:
Non WWII

Seeing the diversity of peoples likes and dislikes, I hope you all understand the dilemma the CT staff have in making scenarios that pleases most.

I'm glad to see this posting however; it gives us all a good idea who likes what...

Now that we have all posted like/dislike setups, what is it about them that gives you that opinion:

I.e. I don't like PTO because there are not enough proper IJN aircraft or the setups never have F4U's in them.

I.e. I don't like BoB 40 because the Spitfires dominate the setup...

Sound off guys!!!

You wouldn't have a dilemma if you just listened to me.

Is it possible to get a hint of recognition from the CT staff that the Post WWII is strongly disliked and to be avoided?  Just a  a little tidbit of information, but one unnamed pilot only had 7 sorties in the Independence War after 5/01/04, yet this pilot seemed to be the driving force behind the setup.  I hated the setup, did all I could to avoid it( the MA really isn't another option) and still ended up with 7 sorties in the same time period.  What's up with that?

Dislike:   current set up, BoB is a snorefest if you not flying LW,(odd that I liked the BoF though) didnt care for Finn/Rus every few weeks but that no longer seems to be an issue. I kinda miss it actually.

Like:  Most of the Pac sets(even Second Wind:D ). Late ETO stuff are always fun. I really liked Kurland. One of the best IMO.


Speaking of Pac, when do we gat some blue planes staffers? Or run Norway:aok

likes: Any set up that involves the most axis choices for my money.

Dislikes: Any set up that limits me to one or two aircraft  ESPECIALLY the early war !#@$%^^^%R^!@$)%&*%!*&%$#@(!)@^# ineffective aircraft.  I also don't care for warm beer.

Depending on refuels ... that could be seven days of flying at however long it took to die each time. What's his kps? Kph? Even that may not give you the entire picture (you desire).

What does it matter anyhow? I've had that rare and elusive F4U-Pac set come around with me having to spend more time in a meatball plane than a hog ("having to" meaning I was willing to sacrifice my own preference within the set to help counter the "Well everybody always flies the blue planes!" whines). I've had them come around and I couldn't fly much that week at all.

 The Israeli Independence setup will undoubtedly come around with much less frequency (probably once a year - OMG! OMG! What a tragedy!). But hey, PAC has it's diligent protesters too, so why not? Heh. Depending on one's own PERSONAL preference, you may hear either "THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!" (even if it's only 5-6 players - some of which have a REGULAR habit of sitting out anything but their one orgasmic setup) .... or .... "The forum isn't truly reflective of the entire CT populance."

Basically, what's really the point in whining about it? Is it to keep the setup from coming back next year on it's anniversary? Perhaps the half dozen players who don't like FinRus should maintain a campaign against it based on whatever it takes to convince everyone else that nobody played it or had fun. :D :rolleyes:

Here's the raw essense. If ya can't handle it, deny it:

People flew it - people had fun (just like in Second Wind) ... get over it already.

Just sayin'. - YMMV - don't take it all personal like - don't mind me, I'm just talkin' sense.
