Given the 9 months time since you've changed the arena format, it's been pretty well established that the EW + MW arenas are usually populated by low numbers of players. The EW is generally a mish mosh of milkrunners, and those who enjoy killing them.

Mid-war seems to see a little more dogfiting but really not that much.

Nothwithstanding the never-ending gripes about LW hordes in Blue and Orange, there seems to be a genuine desire from those who seek pure dogfighting. To that end I would suggest combining the EW and MW arenas into one and replacing the void with a pure and simple air combat venue. No GV's, no bombers, no "war to win" just a map a la Donut with half a dozen bases for each chess piece to up from. It could be done with a rolling plane set or all aircraft; your call.

My guess is something like that would make a lot of folks happy. Worth a try on an experimental basis, no?

Seems to me it wouldn't take much more to achieve that objective than to just bring back maps with a Fightertown.

If Fighter Town were brought back to MW or EW I garantee numbers would be higher.

I'm pretty sure Eaglehrt would sue everybody if they did away with the milkrunner's havens.

I dont think HTC need to close one arena just to open another. I mean, they can add more arenas w/o closing existing ones.

Anyway, neither "fighter arena" nor arena with fighter's town would change anything, exept for 1-2 first weeks maybe. Most of ppl dont want to play in near empty arena, most of ppl dont want pure dogfight as well. Time ago there was "fighter arena" as Combat Theatre setup (more than once, afair), it hasnt any success on big scale.

btw, ppl who want pure dogfight can do it in DA or TA right now, they dont need whole arena for it, just 3 fields close to each other.

Speaking about EW/MW arenas, a want them out of scoring system. Or give them separate score like CT have.

I'm not slammin' the idea, because I understand where you're coming from, but...

Don't we already call this the Dueling Arena?

Thought Dueling Arena was for 1vs1 duels...or small dueling engagements. Think he is talking about a larger scale. I suppose you could get larger scale he is talking about in DA...just would have to advertise it as a regular thing?

We once had a certain map, which catered to all kinds of gameplay. Lines of V-Fields, far enough from airfields making huge GV battles possible. Strat targets to ponder. Several CV fleets per side. A place at a lake in the middle, were you could mindless furball for hours.
You could switch from playing style to playing style without leaving the arena. I used to warm up at FT, then go to "win teh war" mode on other parts of the map, then back to furballing.
Tha map was a large one and it's name has already been mentioned...

He and his squad will then just own the LW arenas like they do EW. Two resets per day. Oh wait, they can't fight 13 vs 1 and 0 there...
