Mmmhmm sure he is.

I've finally figured out why storch has such a high post count in here. It takes 1 post to make himself look like a jerk, and 3 more to confirm it.

He doesn't actually need anyone to reply. If you ignore him like everyone should, he'll just leave his own made up reply and then answer it himself.
I'm starting to think multiple personality disorder, problem is everyone of them are equally lame.

your alright

why do we need two late war arenas? like it or not, its clear the majority of the population rather play where all aircraft are enabled.

combine both late wars and host larger maps, leaving the small maps for mw and ew arenas.

Well said and a great Idea:aok

That's an excellent idea.

Last night, the Blue arena "fight" was 25 miles away.  Long flight in to get into the battle.  So people opted to head to Orange which had NDIsles.  That was at about midnight and had a 200 player cap.

So most of my squad (SHawk's) headed in there.  Meanwhile, since we have these stupid caps, I think 4 or 5 guys couldnt get in for over 30 minutes.

Larger caps!

Have 10 LW Arenas with every map in inventory.  Leave it uncapped.  Let the players play the maps they like without breaking up players/groups/squads.

derailing your own thread PEEEEEhawk?

cv control is a big problem the only one controling it, should be on it,
maybe in a gun pos. i enjoy flying in the early arenas to practice or try new things and i enjoy the one on one you get there alot of the time. i do think that shooting your own squadie is bs.  i kill guys that i am better than and i get killed in those arenas by guys that are better than me !!
only diff, is smaller croud and it is still for points so its worth more than the da.
i want to know who is best at what tho and current system is a little flawed
                tnx  jeff

You aren't the only one that knows this.

wwhiskey has a point even if we get 1 HUGE arean there would be big fight for cv.

I am of the belief that carrier control should be handed off to the senior man on a mission that  the carrier is assigned to.  This could allow for multiple captains in control of a single task force. The carrier gets picked up for one mission, and a person on that mission takes control, and if the carrier survives, then that captain would release the carrier until it is picked up by another mission. This would give everyone a chance at learning the carrier ops and missions, and hopefully Give a reason to help keep it alive.

I don't mind multiple arenas but I do see problems.  Here's some fixes I've suggested before that I think would be good for the game:

1.  Bring the big maps back to LW.

2.  Combine EW and MW into one arena, limit the MW plane-set and only allow small maps in the new combined arena.

3.  Reserve a spot in the arena for a player who is disco'd from that arena  for a limited time.

4.  Allow a player to enter any arena if his/her country is the smallest, regardless of cap.

5.  Allow a player to enter any arena that contains a majority of their squad members regardless of cap.

6.  Make ENY front specific rather than arena-wide.

7.  Bring "missing" maps back into rotation (i.e. Mindnao).

8.  Put different maps into rotation in each arena (with both big and small maps available there should be plenty to keep the map-sets different for different arenas).

9.  Bring back weekly map re-sets.

10.  Never allow the same map to be up in more than one arena at a time (or #8 would also solve this).

I think this could be a solution. But has Aces High II / HTC notice that the combat maps with multiple islands are always full arenas. People like island maps with CV's. So they need to make some more big island maps and maybe adding some of the special event arena maps would be a good change. Some of those map have snow fall and are large maps.

They do need to combine the early & mid war arenas together. Just take a look the numbers. They are never close to getting 50 pilots / players in 1 arena. They seem to be empty.  They could then in turn use one of those servers to increase the pilots / players numbers to 475 or more for the full Late War arenas. Their idea of separating everyone and disolving large maps is not working to well.

As far a combat tour. I have not heard of anything for months now.
Maybe it is a bust. I know I have a question of doubts about what I have read and heard.

As far as disconnects - I can see the weather causing some problems. The weather has been very bad in Texas and the midwest. Flooding, Toronados and strong Thunderstorms has caused some of the problems.

I am just trying  to add an idea & solution to the main arena problems.

yeah that might work
