For those who don't know what we did, we went to midwar arena, several of us infact and just fought.  Max ceiling was 5K and any plane in the mid arena was fine.  We had two sides and just fought even matches.....if there was a 1 on 1 we let them fight it out, no one dove in to aide.  When one or two more aircraft arrived then it became a 2 on 2, 3 on 3 etc.


If you guys do set this up, would you please start a new thread so some of us rookies who like the mid war plane set can see it and join in ?? It sounds like fun, and I might as well be a target in MW as well as LW :D

Thanks

Count me in too (if you don't mind a no skill noob joining in). Maybe I can learn something too, I know the A6M5b is a good plane in the right hands, those hands just aren't mine:)

I like the idea that this would be separate from the LWAs, because then this wouldn't happen. All those in the LWAs would be able to put pressure on the other teams in whatever way they wish, but wouldn't end up shafting their countrymates (now especially with ENY!) because they wanted to play something else.

If this were in a separate arena (as suggested in this thread) it would be the best of both worlds, IMO!
You should stop posting and remove all doubt.

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?


yes.....EW and MW areans are lightly populated....but...........yo u also can find a fight at only 5k to 7k alt. no need to go to 25k alt to avoid being Bn Z'd....or to catch the bombers that are leveling ur base. some of you LW guys might find the EW planes fun too......i've seen a few of ya in there time to time(and gotten my arse kicked too by yas):rofl .

as for the hordes......well, even in EW and MW, there ends up being as much of a horde as there can be considering the numbers in there.
 the fights are fun, and very diverse in there..........would be nice to see some more try these two arenas.
