Duel in 109's... works fine with KS on. First to rip their own wings off wins.

In fairness, KS was on in the DA for the first 3 years I played this game.

wetrat i beg to differ my squaddies and i have played KOTH many of times in the DA for the last year and half. HTC just recently turned it on

[Ack-Ack]

you can disagree all you want but it was enabled a long time ago.  This game and some players have been around a tad longer than you have JimBeam.


ack-ack

The problem.

Isn't that KS is on in the dualing arena, it is what the dualing arena was used for, i.e. free for all 1 sided quick kills. This has been a continuing problem for quite some time.

It used to be tried in the training arena. We had trainers there quite often, and they had eject privs. Guess what people abused the training arena as a result had to lower lethality so people would not use the training arena for somthing it was not designed for.

DA: It was designed for prearanged 1v1 fights. Once again a few people who wanted to just quick furball from 1 field moved from the training arena to the DA. Quite frankly there never have been a lot of people this method of game play. Once again they use the arena for somthing it isn't designed for. So as this style of play was used, suddenly a few people are complaining that some one else is disrupting there style of play, but there has never been anything in the design of AH for how they wish to play.

As for the excuses I hear about how that style of play is great "Training" I say BS. If it was just learning, the training arena is much better suited, After a quick 1v1 from heads on, It could be repeated with out even taking off again. What is realy being asked for is a start in air continious action shoot anyone type fight. And then a few people tried chaning the basic rules to have to "Check Six" someone before they could engage. So now Im asked to enforce a rule that HTC has never said was a rule.

And there quite frankly is no way that style of play can work under the honor system. All it takes is one person not adhearing to it, and every thing breaks down.
2nd there is no way HTC can police the DA. The best we could do is add 2 more fields to the terrain that are 1 or 2 miles apart, with no ack or other objects other than a hangar or tower. Vulching could still be an issue, but at least you could now who can and cant vulch you.
