SA2 is right, the CT doesnt need MA converts, although I think anyone and everyone from the MA should be welcomed and encouraged to come to the CT, not driven away. What the CT needs is a separate group, for whom the CT is their reason they play AH, not a temporary diversion to break the usual MA routine. Until that happens, like it was before AHII, nothing will make it better.

I enjoyed it , had fun , But I can only occasionally make the CT due to the time of day down here unfortunately.

When I was in there folks seemed to be having fun. A week was probably long enough.

Mind you, I thought Fighter Town was a great idea and I'm glad it was tried, my comment was more on the CT in general than Fighter Town in particular. There was nothing wrong with Fighter Town other than it wasnt the MA, and in that respect it had the same problem as the CT in general (thought the CT admittedly has other deeper issues).

Actually, I think the Fighter Town experiment clearly illustrates the fact the no matter what you run in the CT, you will not get significant numbers away from the MA, its just not gonna happen.

I'd have been there but was out of town the whole week.

Came back and the gaming puter has a virus of the vundo tribe.

Haven't killed it yet. I may call in the pros now.

We should ask HT put a marquee inside the tower screen. How's that for an advertisement?

Okay, that was a joke, but seriously, how about an advertising space inside the MA? Like, perhaps a large banner or bulletin board that sits nearby the runway, and the CM can type in his short, one sentence message.

So, everytime someone ups from a field, he'll be able to see it. It doesn't have to be messy or big, just a hard-to-miss type of big board that hands nearby certain fighter or buff hangar.

or a couple of these flying above each base of under attack, like the drones do offline

I'm having a 38J tour , quite enjoying it actually, always regerded it as a strange POS , but am kind of liking it.

I honestly believe any difference you are feeling in the 190 is because you fly it differently in the MA vs CT. Anyone flying the 190 in MA pretty much cherrypicks and runs , and that's not a criticism , it's just a reality of the MA environment where there are just so many better planes around , stopping to fight is way too dangerous for a plane like the FW. All the FW's are flown in there as hit and run/ BnZ.

But the CT environment is different , with limited plane sets , you can actually fly the 190 in a more historical fashion and be quite aggressive with it in an engagement. So maybe you are flying it harder, taking more chances , and more importantly getting closer to the edge, so are seeing more tendency to stall etc in the CT . (assuming it's stall tendency etc you are talking about. )

Once again, Redd hit the nail on the head.
