I love taking up a Spit1 in LW and killing uber-rides.

HT must have a database problem because the last 3 months you have 4 deaths and 0 killz in a Spit I.

Nice dedalos.  You have to love the talkers that say I fly the Hurri 1 or spit 1 and kill people all the time.  Then when you check their stats have mysteriously morphed into Spit 16's or La7's.      Great Find.  You have beened pawned SpikesX.

I would like to see more numbers in the EW.

I really enjoy flying the F4F there.  Especially when defending against A6M2's upping from a carrier.

There really is no UBER plane in the MW plane set.

There are some that are better than others, but the margin of uberness is not that great so there is no real plane that dominates in the MW.

As WWM pointed out ... I like the numbers that we have in the MW. We seem to be getting 40-60 people on average and there is no lack of action and/or fights with those numbers. I think anything over 150 would just turn it into an LW-type cesspool ... no thanks.

Yes, because so many folks suck without uber rides.

Yes Freedom and choice SUCK!!!

The reason that those arenas are "underpopulated" is the same reason an empty business stays empty.

An old trick in the car business is to have the entire sales staff out walking the lot on a Saturday morning... customers will show up just to see whats happening. Down the street a dealership in which all the staff stays warm in the showroom  suffers from a lack of customers.

I log into AH and see 15 people in EW/MW arenas and think... "BORING" and log in to the LW arena with the most people.

Come to think of it, doesn't one of the competetors of AH suffer from low #s? Maybe thats why they keep coming over here in droves?

Sorry ... no thank you ... The "Titanic" notion was implemented for the LW players who wanted to fight on a map with lots and lots of people. There is no need for that in the MW ... to either boost it's numbers or it's popularity.

People are slowly filtering into the MW and finding it a good place to play and staying. The numbers are moving up slowly, and thats a good thing.

The mindset in MW, for now, is much different than the LW mindset and I think that is due to the slow growth ... those who come to the MW, see the MW "mindset" and accept it.

The MW mindset, for the most part, is fly and fight ... and leave the whining at the door.

There's a reason those arenas are never full

Is that why there have been over 50 people in the AvA in the last three weeks?

Yeah, they are all there for the fight too.  I hear the buildings stand no chance there now.  (Oh wait, may be those are Early War Buildings)  I want to see how you guys would perform against the uber Late War Buildings

The biggest reason for why the LW arena is the most used is habit.  Habit reinforces strong numbers in the arena, and strong numbers reinforces habit.  "Why play somewhere else?"

I am still in favor of a RPS to counter habit: it's the only way to have the player base use the whole planeset.   Most of you would whine like crazy if it happened, which would be  bad for business, and so it probably never will.

DOH!!!
Somebody already wanting to screw with TT.

The fastest way I know to cause a squad to disband is to take them into an arena where there is no action. People don't play to be sightseers only.


Frankly, let them have their uber rides, as they have been called. For every uber ride there is a cheap plane that will take them down and better yet, there are wingman who can do it too. Like someone said, You can't out fly teamwork.

That, sir, is pure, unadulterated horse puckey. That is not to say that there aren't plenty of weak sisters that CAN'T play the game without teamwork. In the MA, teamwork is a crutch. I will 'buy' it when it comes to scenerios. But, that is it.
