EW/MW could be made into one
« on: January 16, 2008, 11:55:13 AM »
There's little that's different between the planesets: EW and MW could be made into one arena, with the planeset falling right in between the 2.  From what I can tell, EW is not early war.  There's the Fw-190 and Spit9, which would be 1942 by my calculations.

Unleash the pink Spitfire MkI and make EW a 1940 planeset!:aok

By chance, i´m just reading a John Weals book "Bf109F/G/K Aces of the Western Front". Book says II/JG26 had it´s first 190´s in aug 1941.

That wouldn't be a 190A-5.

As for the rest of you, relax... Adonai especially.  Please show some maturity.

Why??? What would be gained?

For the most part, those who use the EW and MW arenas are happy with them.

No.  When we get some more early war rides, EW will be a hell of a lot of fun.  

Mid War is the best plane vs plane matchup arena.

You're begging the question.  The point is that there's almost nothing gained by having these two arenas split the way they are now; their planesets are far too similar.

Anyway, it was just a suggestion.  I really like the MW arena as it is right now, and when I checked out the EW arena I said "there doesn't seem to be a big difference."

There is plenty to be gained keeping them. Both arenas have plane sets that cater to certain type of fighting.

The EW arena I always thought of as the WWI arena from AW. all that turning and burning !!

MW has a good set that does both TnB, but also has good angles and zoom fighting. Plane match up are close.

It's nice to get into fights with out having some dweeb come screaming in for a cheap cherry pick and then extend for a sector or two.

About the only you can gain by changing them is to piss of a bunch of players who are happy playing there.
