I was getting ready to send the link to Skyrock.

the multiple main arena has provided collateral benefit that HTC may not have taken into account when they split up the MA.  the huge gap in both planes and vehicles is now clearly evident, most notably in the early war arena.  this is also the arena that stands to gain the most were HTC to commit resources to address this problem.

for those of us who prefer a fight above other types of game play the early war represents what could be the most fun of the fighting arenas.  consider the following suggestion.

The biplanes:
avia B 534
I-15
Cr-42
gladiator
F3F-3

all were in service at the start of hostilities.


Consider these early monoplanes.

France:

MS 406 (1x20mm + 2x8mm)
D520 (1x20mm 4x8mm)
arsenal VG-33 (1x20mm 4x8mm) any of these three would do OK in the EW

Netherlands:
fokker D XXI (4x8mg)
fokker G 1A (9xmg)
fokker D XXIII (4x8mg)

Poland:
PZL P24 (2x20mm 2xmg)

Soviet Union:

Polikarpov I-16 (4x8mm)
Polikarpov I-17 (1x20mm 4xmg)
MiG-1/-3 (3xmg)
LaGG-3 (1x20mm 3xmg)
Yak-1 (1x20mm 1xmg)

Italy:

Fiat G 50 (2xmg)
Macchi MC 200 (2xmg)

Japan:

mitsubishi A5M (2x7.7mm)
nakajima Ki27 (2x7.7mm)
nakajima Ki43 (2x7.7)

United States:

Curtiss P-36
Bell P-39
Curtiss P-40F (merlin engined saw service in the commonwealth)
Grumman F4F-3 (4x.50mg) a little monster no doubt
Brewster F2A, B239 & B339 armament varied between 4 & 6 mgs
P-38 E or F  the G model is really mid war
Grumman F6F-3
P-47 B

Germany:
FW 190A3

Austrailia:
CAC CA-12 boomerang (2x20mm 4xmg) was a neat design based on the NA AT-6.  while outclassed by the japanese fighters it flew against it did acquit itself well.

Romania:

IAR 80 and 90 (2x20mm 4mg)

this represents tons of work for HTC's small staff and we will probably never see even a fraction of these however I wanted to point out how much potential there is and what a great variety of combatant aircraft were available.  I would really love to see some of these models incorporated into the game.

That was hard enough to organize under a single MA, with 150 or more pilots per country. Under multiple arenas, with caps, it is very hard to organize a mission against strats to effect the overall war front on a map.

Its rare to see a enemy strat factory knocked down unless it is very close to a friendly base. Combined efforts to destroy strategic targets across one or more bases are rare. Warfare conducted against material resources just doesn't happen much. Even HQ raids have dropped off from what I've seen.

The need for missions and strat attacks went out with the incoming of the "horde".

Why setup a mission when 50+ planes all fly and swarm a base anyways ?

Why hit strat ? it useless ... with 50+ planes moving from base to base, there is no need .

And lastly ... I would say the about 90% have no clue as to how to "work" the current strat system to their advantage.

So very true Storch.

I love to pop into the EW arena for the fight, but it is quite evident that the hanger is lacking in resources and definately needs to be addressed ... hopefully sooner than later.

GHI: It works that way for those in the US as well.  I like the choice of other arenas but being forced into one with paltry numbers in order to fly with a squadron is the reason I no longer subscribe.  If HTC was to go back to a non-split LW arena even half of the month, I'd start spending money with them again.

Bring back the old MA

This could go SO many ways with a 'your momma' joke, all of them downward.

Hated the idea of multiple arenas but have grown to accept it and NO its not going back nor should it.

I agree, The multi arenas have given, no made me up planes, and tanks that I would have never bothered with, not like your going to see 109 E's flying around in LW, well not for long.anyway. The EW and MW war are more realistic as far as the huge furballs not being there go. It is a little hard to find fighters to fight but LW can solve that if that's what your looking for.

Long Live Multi Arenas !
