Let's keep it short.

Is A1 fun?

IMHO no.

A1 is the welfare check of all airfields.  People think they want it, but they let their life fall apart trying to keep it.  I say flatten it (the whole mountain), and have more V fields in the middle of the arena for tank fights.

A1 is a curse on which ever country owns it.  I've seen it w/ the rooks, and again with the knights.  Everyone goes to defend it, even if only 3-4 bandits are inbound.  This leaves all other fields open.  And then everyone defending A1 wonders why they dinnae have radar anymore.

I like ra's idea of flattening that mountain and adding in a few more V fields

thing is, if you want to win you need to have ownership of it, otherwise that country will just hang on.  Also it is great for attacking the surround targets.

When the rooks had it for the first few weeks we never lost, now we are regulated to a small corner of the map

When we get wind effects; I hope to do some slope soaring.

Well, I assume the meager response means that most people are either happy with A1 or just don't care about it.

Although I'd like the idea to put some vehicle fields close together in the center to get some tank fights. Add a less rocky terrain that elevates just enough to give visual shield between virtual 'roads', move the vehicle fields close enough together that tanks just about spawn in the middle between two vehicle fields

I don't fly from it, don't fly to it.  IMHO an airfield at 10,000 feet is silly.  

*POOF* goes my suspension of disbelief.

If I can't get my tank to it then get rid of it.

Azreal, I think A1 is a useless waste of map space.

I cannot imagine why HTC put a field that high unless it was to see what response or lack thereof it would generate.

I never fly to it online and during the few days we controlled it never bombed from it.
It requires too much suspension of reality to consider that field of any use whatever.

HTC, please get rid of it and put a few of the interior fields up a bit.

Naaaw!  Would remind me too much of the 308!

How about a blow up doll (complete  with tethers in the likes of an air blimp) of Rosanne Bar?  Or Rosie "get rid of all the guns except the ones that protect me" O'Donnell?
