Sounds good, too bad there’s not a map with closer bases.

IMHO, in the early set the 109F-4 and FM-2 will own every other plane in the set; they totally outclass the others by a wide margin.  Their gun packages are lethal in snapshots and have enough ammo to regularly earn 10 kills in a single sortie.

Bump them please.

oops,   I actually didnt include them there. Ill go edit the MOTD:)

[eskimo2]

LOL, cool and thanks!

I’m going to post the rest of my rebuttal JUST FOR THE SAKE OF TRIVIA!  (And because I spent a few minutes gathering data, and I’ve taken a liking to the POS early birds and have been flying them in the MA.)

From MA Tour #63, the other fighters have the 7 worst K/Ds, from 22% to 54%.  The FM-2 however is 24th (worst) on the list with a K/D of  96%.  The 109F-4 is # 39 with a K/D of 130%.

Slash, I really appreciate the effort here, but I don’t think this will work, because of the Uterus map.  All base distances are over 25 miles; the further players fly, the higher and safer they fly.  To get a good furball going a fight must be close to a base; ideally within sight of it.  I have no reason to expect to find a better furball here than I would in the MA.  Bases MUST be close to make this work well.  

Might I suggest the bob04 map?

It has 4 areas where bases are within 8 miles of each other, some of which are about 5 miles.  (A113 – A124 – A20, A17 – A18 – A19, A11 – A12, or A15 – A16)   Furballs this close WILL start a rumble and MAY draw from the MA.  

Seriously, furballers want fast nonstop action; the ONLY way that you can give them that is to provide close, always-enabled bases.  

At 25+ miles of flying distance, this CT regular can find better fights in the MA.

I like the idea. can we try something out though? how bout making it axis v allies instead of everyone flying same planes.

Slash
thanks for putting this up, I think it is a great idea.
given, as eskimo pointed out the map is to large, something has to happen to control alt ... only thing I can think is the superhuman winds as 1st suggested by dipstick

second, the ack need to be harden, made as deadly as possible, with the farthest range and with a rebuild time as short as possible given the unlikelyhood it does get destroyed with those settings. this is needed as I have already seen vulching which skews the entire fighter town arena idea

also saw a phoon flying around in an otherwise earlier warbird setup which also skewed any fairness in a dogfight

looking forward to a fun week

The reason I went with the Uterus map was to use 6 bases close together. The bases are 25 miles apart that we are using now. There is also a 127 mph down wind at 12k.

 I can use the Rangoon map for this set up if we want bases on top of each other. Its has a limited amount of bases to begin with and it has a row of bases on the east side of the map that damn near touch. Let me know what you think and we'll fine tune the thing. I most likley will make a Axis vs Allies thing too.

I think fighter town is stupid and has no place in the CT.

[StarOfAfrica2]

And you had your chance to say so while they have been arguing about it for the last week TK.  I'm not a big fan of FT in the CT either, but I'm willing to let the majority decide, as was intended.  Everybody had a chance to chime in.  Regardless of personal feelings, I'd like to see more numbers in the CT and I'll go along with whatever most of the folks think will work.
