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?
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)

.
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.
