Take the four arenas....make em..
1) Battle of Britain.....Early to Mid period...English and German
2) Allies in Europe.....Mid to late US , English, German and Italian
3) Pacific....................Al l Pacific US and Japanese
4) Eastern Front........German and Russian..(Fins too)
Make later era aircraft available at rear bases, so battle starts w/ early aircraft. At bases close to HQ, later models available. If u are on winning team, this makes you use earlier aircraft more efficiently, or most later aircraft have DT makin them easier to get from rear bases. Therefore the battles will have a logical progression, the older aircraft will get used more, and late model sticks will have to cruise a lil to B n Z everyone...Another suggestion Ive heard and liked was if ur not on a squad, then u get random assignment to team that needs people. Yes someone will get stuck flyin a country's plane they dont llike, but that is how we learn to fly new planes..after all, isnt that what ENY usually ends up doin, makin u fly somethin u dont usually fly? And isn't that what HTC wants...everyone swappin countries for more even play? Jus do it for them...
It makes the fights a lil closer to reality, (since most of us wanna fly a Corsair Vs Zero, Spit vs 109, 190 vs B-17). Cant hurt to try and will get all the rooms gettin used, since we all have an interest in all the Theatres of WWII. No more ENY, u know what base has the plane u like, and u up there. Other than newbs, who ups a P 51 for close support of a CAPPED base??? So u would be doin what ur already doin.....jus a thought.
