Who knows, I've given up even trying to understand some of the recent 'enhancements' for gameplay.



Yes, thats definetely one of them. The main issue is having two LWMAs during the quietest periods. Im sure the caps was also an issue for lesser quiet periods as well, so i guess this will address the later - thanks HT.

Arena caps are not the answer, limiting players killz the one aspect of the game i enjoy, I can not speak for others, but this has not changed my outlook.

sr. is a good command, but the usfulness would have been better spent inside MA with the EW and LW arenas...the game as we knew it is dying a slow death, no competition, no missions, and even less reason to win a map than after the last change, if my being vocal bothers you I DONT CARE, I like this game to much to quite playing without a fight.:aok

The game as I knew it is in fact dying a slow death... and I wish there was a way to speed it on it's way.  I see far more positives since the arena setup change than negatives.

The new Terrain Editor coming out at the start of the year has really got the terrain team doing some incredible things with events.

The players in the multiple MAs are usually enjoying themselves, at least that's what I see when I manage to get some time to login.

The fights I've been in have been a mix of white knuckle intense and funny beyond belief while flying with some people I don't get to fly with normally.

Overall enjoyment of the game has increased dramatically for me.

But then again, I also like to create my game environment, so I guess I get out of it what I put into it.  I log in Looking for a fun night, not expecting a bad one.  

As for 200 or 600 people in an arena, frankly, I've yet to engage in a 1v599 furball, normally get around a field with 20 to 40 people fighting over it TOPS, so I'm totally confused with how a 300 cap limit really effects anyone negatively.

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

Has anyone here ever flown in a 10 plane P47 heavy mission?
and blown an nme base to bits despite the 20 upping ftrs? that is the future of this game......co-operation, and enough ftrs to put up a defence worth breaking,
 Look I know its hard, i died so much in Ma before i learnd the skills that i almost quite, but within the last 2 years ive started climbing the ranks, through name changes, house changes, and computer availability I have followed this game, I flew Air Warrior before it......I am a squadiiiieeeee, I love the CHALLENGE, the days of kill or be killed are over.....the mass crush of it all, the knowledge that you where diving in on 5 nme's is over,{4 of us}  took 4 JU-52's with 1800kg worth of bombs each into an nme capped base as a squad and killed thier ability to up ftrs, and they couldnt up in another room, and ALL of the NME's team would know that our squad had done this.......all of them, not half, or a third... the game had more relevince then, more pride in accomplishment, now im empty, of course i can blast an nme front airfield to bits in the new setup, byt its so less meaningfull now that I dont have to kill 3 ftrs doing it...

Heck id even take the last change of three capped time periods over this, it feels like punishment, and Ive heard pilots tell me the very same thing, one unknown online referd to the changes as a feeling of being "squashed" and I feel the same way,, it took cunning to fly an effective attack before, now its an attackers dream...it feels like cheating and I dont like it.:confused:

No man should know what Chartreuse looks like:p
