It woudn't be Titanic if a third of the people didn't show up.  They would have to change the name to Tuesday.

And we have large maps too.

Last night was my first dedicated hop during one of these titanic tuesday events.  Summary: It was just rediculous, pathetic, idiotic, childish....but I definately had the sense that tons of tardlings were having alot of fun.

Best part of the whole deal is that I had a blast after I finally came to my senses and went to mid war

I really think this titanic thing is a good idea because it gives aimless, clueless, and pointless tardlers something to look forward to, and it reminds the rest of us how gross MA gameplay was before the split.

As long as this tragic event only happens on Tuesdays and does not infect any other arena Im good to with it

(Lusche I'm not saying you were one of them, just making a point that others were there.)
 

Just a side note:

I'm neither a horde flyer nor a 1vs1 proponent. I fly what I like, when I like, where I like. You can find me being part of a horde and you can find me busting hordes. I'm doing "honourable" 1v1's and I shamelessly vulch damaged planes trying to land

(But I wasn't at 147 yesterday. Too many green and not enough red there most of the time )

And you really belive that people fly a different style just because their are split on two arenas instead of one?

The maps are large enough to go around the main furballs or vulchfests.  If your looking for personal fights.

I say you people crying out for the split arenas need to learn how to read the map again.  The use of the zoom function works wonders.  Try and mix it up a little.

The small maps are designed to promote fighting but all of the aforementioned dweebery existed just as much, if not more than on the small maps, because they were restricted to such narrow fronts.  I'm very glad to see a "proper" map up and not baltic or uterus  ughhhh!!!

The opportunity to run massive bomber missions, get whole squadrons working together without fear of the irritating caps is nice.  "massively multiplayer"

I'm not supporting either way I like AH.

Now lets make it all week and save the caps for the weekend.

There is 3 other public arena's open on Titanic Tuesdays. Live a little try something new.. Early and Mid war are both open same as Axis vs Allies.

I agree while of course there is still the hoard I do find it a little easier to find smaller fights in 1 main arena. When the Arenas are split there is generally 1 or if you are lucky 2 main fights per country vs county front. So it's hard not to run into a gang bang.

With the big maps there are lots of bases getting smaller amounts of action outside the hordes.

The only thing that annoys me about the big maps, is looking at them on the clipboard. I think I need the option for my second monitor just to look at the clipboard map.

Yup that changed everything. No more vulching, no picking, no hording, no countries dividing up the arenas between them so each can dominate it's "own" arena and of course a lot uninterrupted 1vs1 fights on small maps with a very narrow front after the arenas were split.
And I am always very fond of seeing arena cap at 190/120 and 30/120 when coming home to play at my prime time.
 

lol well sarced

could it be that theres more of this (although I haven't noticed any difference myself) because the map is only up for 24h so people think well wth I'll drop my standards cus its only for 1 day? or maybe its like the first couple of hours after a map reset - 90% of players in 1 furball and the other 10% sneaking bases

I start with the map zoomed all the way out with icons and everything else turned off so I can see only the dar-bars.  Then I turn icons back on and zoom in to where I can see pretty well and drag the map around inside the clipboard scanning the fronts.  Then of course, I turn on radar and spawns and other things as I need more info on a specific area.

Works well for me.

Yea I know I zoom it in and out. I just like being able to see the entire map so I can see what bases are under attack easily.

thats what i said all along, large maps and large player bases allow you to CHOOSE where and what you fight.

If you want to fight in the horde, you fly in the busy sectors. If you want 1on1s etc you fight in the quiet areas.

small maps didnt really allow this as every mile of the front line was saturated with 50+ players.


HOWEVER. I dont want large arena back 24/7.


to the Orignal first post, it would be good if that arena with the large map didnt need a reset to change to 1ma... but i guess theres a reason they do it...


To skuzzy/Hitech.
hmmmm bit of an idea here, but "what if" the titanic tuesday map is "frozen" each time titanic finishes, and then is restarted a week later. Then people could plan stuff for the next "event". Or would that be impossible? Posted in wishlist too.

Im a big fan of Titanic Tuesdays but on Tuesdays now the already weak strat war becomes nonexistent. Last night i looked at all the strat targets of all the teams and 9 out of 10 of them were at 100% all night. We had one refinery right on the front line that got whacked pretty hard, but everyone else?

                          And I'll keep on lobbying that changing the strat rules, creating more strats, bringing in more bombers...ect will open up the map more and improve the game. Improve the teamwork, the strategy, and maybe bring more sticks into bomber seats.

                       The war this game is based on was mostly a bomber war. At least in the air it was. The B-29 would bring enormous interest into bombers again and give fighter sticks a swell reason to sit in a heavies again. Most of us have thousands of unused bomber perk points and the heavily perk 29 would revitalize the strat war.

                     And I'd love to see the A-20 and TU-2 brought into the game too.

                   Anyhoo...I got going again didnt I?  I love Titanic Tuesdays and it was a great move by AH.

Titanic tuesday still says that today. Just somthing i seen.
