AvA is a blast on some nights ... and on others, it is boring or uneven

the same goes for MA

the diff being in ma with the right map you can usually hunt around and find a situation more to your liking .. ava is either great or it blows due to its limited numbers

with half a dozen decent sticks on both sides AvA, it is the best AH has to offer - unless you prefer gvs and base capture to a2a, then you best stay in ma

Actually, the best fights I've had have been 1 vs 1 and most often in the AvA.. never mind the numbers. Thanks to the individuals who've been flying against me...

Thanks and to Eagler, TexMurph, Redd, Tankman2, Storch, Wasq, Oldman, Grunherz, 1Duke1, Arlo, Sasmox, Fork, Furball, "Lentolaivue 34", Airo, Charge, ... the list is too long to remember each individual, sorry to all of those whom I've forgotten (to the whole lot of them). :)

But I've had fun, and I hope I have learned something as well.

Flew there last night. Flew both sides, got kills in both the -109 and the -51B. Got killed some in each too.

Flew the 109 up north at first, engaged below 10 for a bit. Then the fight got higher so I contacted Nuke on private to set up some quick fighting.

Nuke and I went south and engaged at 5k or less, no holds barred. Great fun...the type of stuff I fly AH to do. Went several rounds, swapping sides and planes.

Went back up North for a bit as a Knight to even out the sides. Fight was climbing ever higher. Storch left, complaining. I stuck around a while but got tired of being bounced by 109's and 190's that were going ever higher.

I like the AvA when there's a close opposing field set-up and people are there to fight. Otherwise... it's just the MA bore n' zoom with fewer numbers.

5 more things you'll see

11. When you're engaged in a 1 vs 1 dogfight, most friendlies that come by ask if you need help. They just don't barge in and steal your kill.

12. A setup that takes input from the community, then takes a balancing act that suits the needs of the limited aircraft available and posts setups. If they don't work right, or based on input from AvA players, we make changes.

13.  ROLLING PLANE SETS. Historically based. New aircraft phased in, old phased out.  Matched gameplay based on aircraft available for the time.  Radar slowly getting more powerful each year.  

14. Custom terrains based on the scenarios for the date.

15. 's when someone shoots you down.  95% of the time.

Breath normally Storch. The vein in your neck is starting to show.

It's all good, but the vein could become a problem. That would depend on the elasticity left in that thing.

Be nice to your veins.

To sumarize....   It is a good thing the ava is there...

It would be better if it were a rolling plane set that didn't have the boring variety limitations of allied vs axis.

It can be fun when there are a decent number of people on and the planes are fairly early war.

The players are no better or worse by percentage than the MA but smaller groups allways tend to be more polite in any human interaction.

They are kinda full of themselves tho (as evidenced by this thread).

one or two luftwhiner squads tend to gangbang and fly pretty timidly.

It is a good alternative when the MA is really getting you down but a bad night in the MA followed by logging on and getting the worst the ava has to offer (late war with a luftwhiner squad if full high alt B&Z mode) can really ruin your night and make you want to give it all up for something fun.

No base capture and people tend to go where the fight is.

Some crybabies and arrogant types are in there.... not many but... the same percentage as in the MA,,, bout 10-50%

lots of reasons no one goes there.  Numbers are the main one but ava is another huge one.  

anoyone thinking of trying it should.   the people in there are not near as arrogant and full of themselves as it appears in the ava threads.  for the most part you will be welcomed and treated well.

It is both good and bad for completely the oppossite reasons that most of the guys there claim are the reasons.

I like both arenas...each for something different.  Thing I dont like so much about the MA is how so many use the plane. Rather than even fights you often see guys grabbing the fastest, biggest guns types. The scores show it..whats flown the most. Its probably not so bad if you yourself fly one of those planes, but its magnified if you dont. That and eveyone just seems to be getting meaner.

  I dont like to lose but I except the fact that many are better than me. I think that may be a part of the problem.
Billy: AwwwCrap!!!
Dave: Good fight
Billy: Cheater!
Dave:I didnt cheat, I just flew better.
Billy:You're not better than me. Mrs. Swanson my teacher said we are all winners..........loser!
