All you BOPs are whining like a bunch of BKs. Why don't you just take your 200+ members, pick an arena, and fight each other. Sorta like the ultimate king of the hill thingy.

Love you too baby

for those of you who think this is so much better and want people to quit...why do you feel that way?   game play hasnt changed at all, ,its not forcing people to play a certain way...there is still HOicanes, hi alt picking monkies, gang banging hordes and every other crap thing that many complained about happening in the MA.   except now you have to worry about getting into an arena during primetime, is your squad gonna be in taht one you get into, or are you going to be one of 10 bish going up against 60 nits and 40 rooks.  

only thing good i can see is, you get picked by hi alt 190s vice la7s...whoopee...different plane, result the same.

so, what are your reasons for telling people who dont share your opinion to leave?  what is that they dont see that you do?  in all this drivel I havent seen to much of that, just alot of people thinking its funny others are upset.

There is nothing good for squads in this change.

Maybe HTC is trying to break up squads with this change????

IIRC, CT will not have squads.

I can see why this whole arena thing is so abhorent to the mega squads....  Imagine if you will... they all sign on in an arena as say... rooks...  the whole rook country is say BOP's....  the entire country full of guys who....

If they meet another plane they are about three times more likely to die than to win.

no place for the whordes to hide... everyone sees how much they suck.  The best planes won't let em run away with impunity...  in fact... there will be guys with bundles of perk points to chase em down and slaughter em in fast perked rides.   They can't fight and they can't run and... on the small maps.. they really can't "sneak" as effectively..  Their members will look around and......

Any BOP's with CH gear..... I could use some spares.   ten cents on the dollar... best offer you are gonna get.

  Umm you must not have read shubie, Thndr or my post sir....

 While we all have concerns about how our squad will operate not all of us think this is totally a bad change just that it needs some tweeking.

Probably less than 10 hrs in the last 6 months. I have a life outside of this game.

[Westy]

eh Grits  

Just remember you're arguing with an intardnet type who "can't remember being this mad" and whose "fingers are shaking" (this alone rings the bell calling for a therapist) as he types about a video game.

[Grits]

LOL, true.

I think they should make only 2 arenas.  1 being from 1941-1943 up to june of that month.  2nd arena have it from july of 1943-1945 plane sets.  The actual dates when planes were entered into war.  4 arenas is to much.

Second, 200 people in an arena is PLENTY.  How do I know?  I've spent the past four or five years flying in an arena that, on its most crowded night, had just over 100.  

WRONG

Some of us couldn't even get in all night.
200 is not plenty. Try 300 or 400.

I feel it was a bad idea, concived in a hasty manner. satisfy the "I want to furball "crys. Majority of ppl have said they dislikeit including myself. I hope HTC hears the consumer before the room falls silent.

I just find it funny that the mega squad guys and the la7 and peeee 51 guys who all told everyone else to quit whining about the old cherry picking, head on, late war centric whorde MA...

Are now not only boooooo hoooooing like little girls but threatening to quit and having for reall hisssy fits!   so much angst that their fingers are shaking as they type!!!

Not only that but.....

The most ironic thing is that now they are talking about "comprimise"... they are suggesting ideas that, if suggested by opponents even a week ago.... would have gotten accusations of whining from them.

They have proved themselves to not only be timid and skilless but now.... hypocrites.

What has killed the community and the MA was the mega squad... they recruited the poor newbie who didn't know any better and made him feel that learning to fight was overrated... heck..... the guy running the whold mess couldn't win a fair fight even once in a blue moon and lost a third of the time when he was holding all the cards..  

Hopefully... the mega squads will break up and the new guys will get around a little to experiance and gain skill.  This will be the real community... Look at the AVA... or CT... bad idea allied vs axis but... good idea to focus on the fight... great guys for the most part... new guys learn more there than 5 years in a mega squad...

5 years in a mega squad and you probly won't be any more able to defend yourself than the Co of that squad....  

oh.... can we get the F4f-3 modeled and maybe a allison powered peee 51?

Too bad...sounds like a target rich enviroment to me.

Juding by #'s on at various times I've been checking...

I'd say the people who want tough, even fights are the silent majority. At any given time early war has led both late war arenas combined by 33%.

I fought my bellybutton off in a 109f vs p40s, spits, 109s, 110s... it was freakin' fantastic. Only HO encounter of the night was in the middle of a break, accidently ramming somebody nose to nose. People actually turned and rolled instead of blowing through with a 150mph speed advantage. Less people alt-whoring because it takes too long to get there

Mid-war is hurting though. Seems like it may be a wiser plan to either fold them into early war as perk planes, or fold them into late war as high ENY rides. That, and combine late war arenas and raise the cap a bit. Right now the player density there is sucking.

Great change so far though. Should get even better with alittle tuning.
