To the AvA Staff -Just a Thought

[Slash27]

Its not "sitting dormant"

[Sweet2th]

Thats your opinion.I am still referring to the days when the CT was booming with fun.

[68KO]

Yes GV are fun for an event there has been a couple of GV run events that where a blast , But remember this is a flight Simulation game .

[Sweet2th]

But remember this is a flight Simulation game .

That has vehicles in it.

[Panzzer]

AvA is about the general warfare, with the limited planeset we're doing a helluva job,

with the limited planesets, I'll be seeing you in hell.

[Sweet2th]

Panzzer why would you take anything the wrong way?


I simply propose making it a Multi-Tasking arena.I bet you if there was an all GV arena it would have over 30 people in it as a minimum, keep in mind that the " maps " need to be really good, there would always be a lot of people in there.

[Panzzer]

Sorry, didn't mean it to be against your GV idea, just venting my frustration about hosting an arena where no-one usually flies when I'm on.

My apologies, I didn't mean to hijack your thread.

[Sweet2th]

I simply meant to maybe use the AvA as a testing ground for maybe just maybe a GV Arena in the future.There really are a lot of Tankers out there, you would be surprised.

[Panzzer]

I spent the time between my posts yesterday in the arena, had a fun time, so as I said I apologize for my earlier post.

I'd go with Slash's idea with one GV night a week, how about the staff will enable the GV's for the week according to the setup, then someone would need to step up and organize a night for the GV'ers. We have some maps where this would work and which I would be glad to be part of, then some of the maps don't have as good GV spots. All it requires is 2 bases with spawns close to each other, right?

Thanks for your new ideas.

[Sweet2th]

All it requires is 2 bases with spawns close to each other, right?

Yep, pretty much so.



I am putting the word out so hopefully after the holiday there will be a very large turnout, i usually get 20 to 30 to show up for an event or snapshot, hopefully i can get more for GV night and make something out of this.

Sweet2th<>, This idea of yours is great and long in coming. My squadron (JG-3 Udet) has always enjoyed the large scale GV and tank battles. We have also wondered when more ground armor would be added to the game for even more realism in battles. You can count on myself and my squadron to help get this off the ground.
A few of us will be there this coming Monday Night, but you can expect more of us after the Holidays. I am even thinking of having our regular Monday squad night in the AvA just for the GV end of it.
I am sure you will be able to draw many other squads like the LTAR's, and a few other ground unit based squadrons. It is what we have been waiting for!:aok

[Sweet2th]

I am sure you will be able to draw many other squads like the LTAR's, and a few other ground unit based squadrons.

Exactly my thoughts, get people like dr7, loony, hooter, SEdan, Sirvlad, etc.

The more the better , doesn't matter who we get attend as long as we can have all tank battles.

I am glad you have shown interest and look forward to good things to come.

Sweet2th, we were able to get a contingent of JG-3 members into the AvA arena for this first night of battle. It started out well enough but soon we found that the enemy started to up aircraft with ordinance and bomb and strafe the armored vehicles. This eventually led to our side doing the same. It was our understanding that this time period in the AvA was to be for GVers only. What Happened, or did we misunderstand the scenario.

My squadron is ready and willing to participate in this venture, but if it is going to turn into a bomber vs GV kind of battle we might as well stay in the late war arenas, as nothing has really been done to make this an all GV battleground!

JG-3 is no stranger to the AvA, as we were once strictly a CT (combat theater) squadron. We had the numbers and quite a few times, owned the old CT. I would be willing to move my squadron back to the AvA arena for some special GV scenarios, but only if we can be sure that the playing field be held to what this time slot was intended to be for... Tank Battles.
I am sure that we might evetually even hold a few regular squad nights of air to air battles as we used to as well.

JG-3 can put up the numbers and will go toe to toe with anyone who cares to face us... win, lose, or draw. The main thing we all want is to have some fun and try something new. This whole idea of yours was what brought us back to the AvA in the first place and we still want to support you in getting it out of the air and back on the ground. Let us know what you need from us to make this a successful venture and we will step up to the task. We can bring the numbers back to the AvA, but let's do it one step at a time.
We of JG-3 Salute you Sir<>!

TD

[Slash27]

We are still in a planning and idea state right now TD. It wont be a regular thing until after the first of the new year. I still have to respond to quite a few PMs on the subject and and get input from the rest of the staff before we make a weekly thing.

[Sweet2th]

Yea what Slash said.The numbers that are gonna show up for this event on monday's are gonna be HUGE.The main goal of this idea of mine is to boost attendance in the AvA and apparently it is working.

I am glad JG-3 will be back in the AvA in full swing and i am looking forward to many tank battles with them for i am assembling a Tank squad myself comprised of some good players.

I have full confidence in Slash, Panzzer, and the rest of the AvA staff to make this a very enjoyable event for us all.
