Flew in it a bit last night. Had fun for a while, but it was pretty short lived.
I think it is worthwhile carrying on with the concept, but not sure if an entire week is warranted. Maybe a weekend setup?
I guess for me, the criticism is that if I want to fly this type of arena, I can do it for free in H2H.
I'm not sure if airshow smoke was intentionally enabled, but think it needs to go. Just made it seem like a slightly larger H2H room.
The bases need to be a little farther apart I think and increase the alt cap to 10K.
For this to work, it really needs its own map. Any old AW's remember Fighter Town in the PAC arena? Something like that would be ideal for this type of gameplay.
My opinion isn't all negative though. I kind of like the idea, but think it needs some growing. Still think that it would be better as a limited setup reserved for weekends, or a couple of days mid week.
As far as plane sets, I think a rolling plane set would be fun. IE: 1st setup, early war, 2nd setup mid war, and 3rd set up late war.
It would help balance the planeset a bit.
All in all, its nice to see people actively trying to make the CT work on different levels.
Cheers,
