Yes






One more arena, adds lots to the game for those inclined to pure furball, all the time.

Not that there's anything wrong with that......

Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now

Furballing is evil, everyone knows it does nothing but keep me from getting my reset perks as you guys Quake it up for hours on end.




























Quah!

It means you fly above 8K and the wind sheer turns your airplane into tooth picks...

Additions / Changes have been made, please continue input. I like what I see so far, do you?

PS... Widewing knows the most about the history part I would say. If someone could point him here I'd like his input on where to draw the line on: Early, Mid and Late War Aircraft

Well there's one problem I see... Regardless of what era (early/mid/late) sometimes a fight just goes up. Sometimes it's fun! I know two pilots that started on the deck in la5/spit9, and ended up at 9k by the time I got to them. It was crazy, but looked amazing. I'd not limit it to 8. 12 to 15k. I say this because I've been running HTH now with wind-limited-ceilings. 10k seems a bit too short. Next step up is 12k.

I'd like to see one or more of these off in some lost corner os the MA on a new map. Since you cannot adjust the winds like that for the MA, how about 30K cliffs? If the "bowl" was 3 sectors away from the strategic guys the amount of time and fuel it would take to get out of the bowl should prevent misshuns or strikers to upset the land-grab. That was you could make four of these, one in each corner, early/mid/late/perk bowls :D

I suggest this because I don't think HTC would support an entirely new arena. If it is it's own arena it would resemble the DA somewhat too.

when does CT have all the planes above in it at one time?  with the wind layer at 8k?  (last time there, had to climb to 10k to see most of nme) no gvs?  no puffy ack? no bombers?

Not quite clear what you have in mind here.
You suggesting a new arena or what?
Would work good in H2H or as a seperate arena I guess.
Would definitely be a game killer if forced on the players though.
