A Poll: Realism Arena vs. Current Arena.

[lasersailor184]

I was just wondering to myself how many would give up the arcadiness for a realism arena.


I mean it'd be a copy of the current main arena except for all the concessions made for gameplay would be for as much realism as possible.


I.E. Realistic radar, rolling planesets, Fuel restricted based on Gallon amount (not percentage), Ammo restrictions, and so on.


The real poll is just a simple one.  Which would you spend most time in?

A Realism Arena

or

Current Main Arena.

Can you say ToD?

No one has to give up anything when ToD gets here.

You hope.
As very little is known about T.O.D. who knows what's coming.

Not 100% sure exactly what you mean, but I don't think it's an easy Yes or No answer. (would have to try it out to see if I liked it before giving an opinion) From the rolling plane set point. Isn't that what the CT is?

I hear alot of people want this or that to make things more Realistic, but to much realism, if gone to far can make the game bad.

There has to be fine line drawn between realism and fun game play. I don't want the game so realistic that I can't enjoy just upping a plane and going out and finding some good fights.

TOD may bring what you are asking for maybe.

Rolling Planesets means that as the week (or map) progresses, the planes become available in the order they came out.

I.E. You won't see any P51D's or La7's on the first day.  But in 4-5 days there would be no restrictions (except perks).

Almost forgot, night time would be in there.



Also, this poll is assuming there are 2 Main Arenas up at once.  Which one would you spend most time in?

Sounds like the CT to me. Last time I went there there was one other person in it with me. On the same side. It waas no fun. Based on that I would say people could give a squat about realism. Its about shooting! And running!

However I vote realism.

I would opt for which ever arena has more of the following;

Vulching
HO'ing
Chute shooting
Gang Banging
Cherry Picking
Whining on Channel 200
Horde flying
Whining about not getting check 6 calls
Spits and LA7's to shoot at
Furballs
Puffy Ack
Toolshedders, porkers' and other dweebs

Flying in the MA brings out the more primordial parts of my lower nature.

I certainly wouldn't want to fly in an arena that didn't fit my personality.

I'd have to know what is meant by "realism" before I could answer.  In many cases the "arcadiness" is due to many of the players and bugs.
Because this "aint real" in the first place, I would want to see a challenging FM, which in most cases we have, and the bugs worked out as they come up.

I dont hope anything.

Even though I hope that for Hitech, ToD is a great success for him and his company... I dont like taking orders from an on line General though. I doubt very much he will ever close down the MA. He knows what people want... And IMO with ToD hes grabbing another niche in the sim market.

The MA works... And it gives people what they want. For the most part what they want is to be able to do what they want when they want, how the want(in regards to a flight sim).

ToD like I said, will be great for the imaginary WW2 pilot who wants to take orders, act, think, and feel like hes in "real" combat.

Me? I just want to shoot planes down and furball.

Just my 2 cents.

i like the challenge of realism, i like the history of aviation, tweaking history to amazing degrees for the sake of game play seems disrespectful to those who flew and fought.

 for the most part i go to other sims to get my realism,  there is no doubt that ah has brought alot of ppl into flight combat, alot of us just move on after a while when the realism bug gets us, im betting TOD will keep us around.

Morpheus is obviously one of those whom have come close to achieving Nirvana.

Such wisdom is achieved by so few. Yours' is the enlightened pathway my friend

Nothing like a completly loaded qustion to poll with,just to list the things you would like changed.  

Basicly I call BS on your realism premis.

Arcadiness = A red ball-tipped joystick, a giant FIRE button and a quarter slot.


This game is pretty real based on what WW2 was like when I was there.
