350...

...players in MW and 65 players in EW right now. Maybe having just one LW arena isn't that bad at all?

Yeah a good idea if you wanna force people to fly in EW & MW.

What? No easy planes?

[mongo36]

Don't worry there will always be a plane or two people gripe about.  

If you can't win against a nu-be in an LA your in the wrong plane, not him.

I thought this was about my weight. Carry on.

Wow - is this a policy change or did one of the late-war arenas crash?

[Bruv119]

I believe the blue one and the DA were out forcing the cap in LW orange to remain stuck at 120  so everyone piled into MW  and had it large.

Way more fun, more people  no dweeb planes.

Rocked for one night only i guess

I really don't understand what changes you guys were so thrilled about?  I didn't notice a single difference between MW and LW other than what people were flying?

In fact, I kind of feel bad for the MW regulars.  I'm not sure they loved having the LW Crowd invade their turf and bring in LW habits while they're at it.

It's just I've never been one that's understood ENY.  You take a stereotypical La7 pilot, and put him in a 5 for awhile, and it doesn't exactly change his approach to the game .

I hear this a lot, but I don't get it.

Instead of P-51Ds, there are P-51Bs; instead of La-7s, La-5s; instead of Spit XVIs, Spit IXs.  Each of those has the same advantages relative to the opposition as the "dweeb" planes have in LW.

And I found every bit as much dweebery in that MW crowd as I do in LW. My first 3 soties I started an engagement in neutral turf, and after 1-2 passes found myself being chased by 4-6 enemies. Tried to extend to get only one or two, and found that they left when they lost their horde.

Towards the end, after the arenas reopened but before the numbers dribbled down, there were some good fights -- including a nice multiple con engagement with 2v3 or 2v4..that ended when Bruv blasted me out of the sky. ( -- knew I left the wrong plane for last!)

But it was just another day in AH, as far as I could see.
