Mid-war has some real potential
« on: September 14, 2006, 11:10:39 PM »
Had some great fights in there tonite.  Had a bad bout of ENY for a short time where Knits couldn't up anything besides a Stuka or a C47 but it didn't last.

I can't remember the last time I actually just chatted with a guy on the other team and decided to meet at a given alt and go at it.  Bombing and landgrab was minimal and the fights were much fun.

Also kinda nice to just say "80th is between 43-44 and looking to get shot" and having guys show up just to have at it.  I died a lot, but it was good fun actually fighting folks in the air.

Kinda nice to not have guys blowing through in LAs and 16s during every fight.  Good furballs and not a lot of alt monkeying either.

If we do it right, mid-war could be a really good place to hang out and have at it.

I will confess that my effort to carpet the arena in 38G parts is well under way however :)

That was the most fun I have had in a real long time, the fights that got to take place over water were a blast. I think even Johnny had fun despite what he was saying !!

Have to agree, I think the Mid War arena could be the best one with the Early War an extremely close 2nd. (actually there probably even in my eyes)Just need more players in the MW arena, when I was in there, it only had about 30 per side atwhat is prime time to me around 8 - 9pm PST. Hopefully in time it will change. As for the LW arena the LALA and 16 dweebs can have it. I love not having to see 90% LALA's and 16's buzzing around :) fights are a lot better IMO now.  :D

Ofcourse to me the ideal situation would be a RPS with 1 week EW, then MW, then LW and final week of the camp ALL planes. Have 2 arenas that hold about 350 - 400. This way it lowers the arena which HT wants, but there big enough for most squads to have there guys together most of the time.

Doubt there is a perfect solution to make everyone happy, what ever happens I will adapt. (even tho my idea is the perfect one :rolleyes:  )

MW definitly has the best plane setup.
All major models have at least one variant so Corsair, hellcat, 109, 190, P38, P47, P51, Spit, ki, zeke and bomber fans can have their rides. Fighters are limited in their ordnance carrying capacity and so specialized attack planes are still viable and needed.

I hope we see more people in there.

Also, EW is just plain slow dogfighting fun :)

Mid-war arena reminds me of AW4W in its twilight years where only 40 or so would be on.  It made for some really good 1v1 fights and furballs without getting out of hand.  Mid-war arena has that same quality to it now and there is a plane that appeals to most types.

Awesome job Guppy!

Mid war rocks, very good plane matchups, with some good fights available.

Just need to set the arena cap at 300.
Set the ENY so if any one team goes over 125 they have no troops.

Let em fly whatever they like, but if they have a horde they can't capture anything.

Yes mid war really could be great fun..  Last night I was in my KI-61 VS 4 other planes and while I wasn't able to get a kill with those odds I was able to stay alive much longer than I used to in the old MA... Helps when people don't get to fly the uber rides all the freekin time. :)

Was great fun last night. I really think that the mid war has the best match ups available, and I think once the newness of the early war arena wears off some will go back to late war and some will drift into the mid war.

Helm and I plan on making mid war our home now. Hope to see more of you guys up and perky for a fight.

HAd fun there too, though I didnt have the patience to hang through the ENY troubles and jumpded to the Early War arena for my Hurri I fix.


I find that though I had developed into a pretty competent MA fighter, with smaller crowds I've begun to display a shocking display of pure stinkiness.

I'm certain, Guppy, that a fair number of those G parts came from my planes....


Loads of fun, looking forward to lots of fun and a good deal of learning!

now I gotta figure out what to do with a 38G against a 205 with E...

When I first checked the MW, the P-51B wasn't available.  Now it is.  I like the matchups!  Hope we get some more folks into the midwar!

I have to agree MW is fun, plane mach-ups are great, and I can actually survive in a hog-1. Still ran in to an HO dweeb in a 190-a5, but other than that was great fun. was on for like 2.5 hours which is longer than I have stayed online in ages.

Big:aok  to HTC.

Had a blast in Mid last night. Only gripe was CV guns being neutered to buff dorks due to ENY. What's with that?
