The only way to prevent this would be to only offer ONE type of plane in each arena, or more that were exactly the same performance-wise. How fun would that be?

First, reset everyone's perks to zero.

Then perk, and perk pretty heavily, the HO wagons.

Make people actually fight to earn the perks necessary for a HO-wagon. At least they'll have to do some fighting before they joust with big guns.

You never know....they may come to like actually fighting if they try it. ;)

Yeah, I can't imagine anyone going completely ballistic over losing all their perks.

Hilarity would definitely not ensue.

I liked it at first as well.  I'm pretty much a P40 driver though I do other types too.

Last few times its been boring.  By boring I mean I've logged in during what would normally be peak times (CST) and found isolated 1v1s or other small numbers but little organized mission action.  More like a version of the DA but with more open rules.

I'm going to give it some more time and see how things develop.  I haven't been able to for a few days anyway (real life gets in the way).

heh, people still will cherry pick in the EWA. In reality, it's not really much different from the mentality of the previous Main Arena. You still have people who like to HO and people who like to cherry pick. Difference is, they are in different planes in the EWA.
