I was better than average in my heyday :) but know its gonna take a little time to get back into it.

So what's new here? Anything, or still all the same

It's gotten tougher for you.

In the year you've been gone, we've gotten alot better.

More like a fortnight.


No more 1 Main Arena.  Now 2 Late War Arenas with lower caps as to number of people in them. 1 Mid War Arena which allows lots of folks to join..... but usually only a dozen or three in it.  1 Early War Arena that allows lots of players, but usually only 1 to 3 dozen in there playing.  Most players in the 2 Late War Arenas.  Mostly milkrunners and shade accounts running up their scores in the EW and MW arena, but rumors of some good fights there sometimes.

Split was to try and curb a single chess-piece nation from hording over a low population chess-piece country.  Hordes still happen, but very large squads have trouble playing together when population caps kick in for a server.

New Terrain.  New textures.  New Skins.  Sherman Firefly Tank, Jeep, some plane updates, a couple planes and plane versions added.  No more puffy ack over bases and airfields.  Some changes to some weapon ballistics.  

Squeaker season is open.  HTC offers two week free trial and adverts on Military Channel, so most weekends you've got lot's of clueless noob players in the arenas.  Help channel has many questions like "how i fly?"  "what bestest plane?"  "how i go fast?"  ad nausium ad infinitum..... With school out, it will get worse.

About 1/2 the planes you will encounter are La-7, Pony-D, Spit-XVI, C-Hog, and Niki plus dive bombing B-24's and Lancs.  

Special Events Arena getting some use.  Snapshots.  Friday Night Squad Operations.  Sunday's events.  King of the Hill tournament.  Close Escorts.  Racing.  There be fun to be found there.

That's some of it.

Spitfires have been replaced by lazer armed Terydactyls and Tigers replaced by T-rexs with archers strapped to their heads.

Apart from that, same old same old.

It's too bad they didn't release the updates that turned La7's into harmless butterfiles.

In addition to multiple arenas, a B-25 otw, jeeps, upgunned Shermans, adjusted perk/eny costs, gorgeous new terrains, improved performance, and the aforementioned pterydactyls, PT boats have been replaced with frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads. Thought you could use the info.
