I aint had too many run either. Most are happy to mix it up
And......

 the 38 will catch half of them.

YMMV

You can always find prey in the MA if someone doesn't want to play.  Unfortunately, in the CT it's not quite like that.  That's not a knock on anyone but rather more of a statement about the lack of numbers.

Fix the radar and icon ranges, and you'll probably see at least a small increase in the numbers.  The CT has far fewer people in it than the MA, but sometimes it seems that the fights are twice as difficult to find.  Why?  It's faux realism for its own sake IMO.  Make it a microcosm of the MA; MA settings but with interesting new maps and historical plane setups every week.  I'd go for that.  

You also have to overcome the collective action problem where players like flying against lots of other players.  Since the CT never seems capable of fielding enough players, few want to fly there.  As such, the numbers remain low and perpetuate the fact that nobody wants to go there.  I'm not sure how you're going to overcome that one by tweaking arena settings.

I never saw a difference between radar in the MA vs CT. Dot dar comes up inside radar circle. However, for those that cry about dot dar not being enough, CT Staffers now have enabled FULL ENEMY RADAR. IMO it a bad thing but they nwant to see if it will draw in more flyers.

As DMF pointed out.

Eventually, it'll dawn on you. Good luck with the dar change though.
