I have been playing off and on for a while, I started out Bish. and loved the game. Soon got invited to a squad and really enjoyed that for a while. Then some squad politics raised it's ugly head and I moved on and switched to rooks. It was ( and there is a point to this ramble) then I realized that there was indeed a different charactor to each of the 3 sides. Bish are over organized and get mad at each other real easy. Rooks are on average better sticks but the trash talk gets overwelming pretty quick. Knights are lest organized but they put out on the first date and are not snobs and will welcome anyone on any particular night to join in, unfortunately they leave troops and supplies up at enemy bases all the time and general lose when attacked in ernest. My point is that each of these fine fighting countries has a distinct personality. I suspect that the new arenas will follow that path and that should make for some genuinly new game play. In the early war I have seen much more premanuvering before pulling trigger, to some extent the lack of horsepower puts an extra sharp point to the phrase, " rush in blazing and die quick". This has also put an extra need to specing your plane right. Lots of " running out of fuel" going on. For me I am going to need many weeks to understand the finer points of each arena, and because I am learning new stuff I am happy. I had a guy get mad at me because I kept BnZing his 109 in a P40E, trash talked me cause I wouldn't fight. Duuuh If we give this some time and effort I believe AHII will end up with much better game play, and I am always up for something new.
