Open Survey: AvA - what do you want?

[BlueTop]

I will tell you again, this is what I WANT.

1. 2 countries-Knights- German, Japan, and Italy, Rooks- American, British, and Russia

2. Use one of fictious MA map, I would prefer one of Island maps.

3. Offer all the planes and vehicles respective to their country

Just do it for 2 or 3 weeks, I bet you AvA will do well.  Before everyone goes bonkers with this premise, I'm just saying give it a try.  This is a simple set up.

Thats sounds like a good idea and have perk points for the better planes like they do in the MA

Thanks, Mugadai, we've actually done this before.  Probably been a couple of years by now.  As with many of the things we tried, it drew a huge crowd for a night or two, and then people went back to their regularly scheduled broadcasts.  The people who are actually interested in the history were weirded-out a bit, and we haven't done it again.

Good idea though.  The peculiar thing was that most of the people who suggested it came, saw and left soon after.

Yeah... those were the days.  Nothing seriously wrong with the way AvA is working now.  We have rolling plane sets.  Some GREAT players, and I am sure a ton of stuff being worked on to improve the arena so it attracts more high caliber squads and pilots.

If it was done before, then why did the staff take it out of the rotation??  AvA seems to work in rotation of maps and scenarios.  The more you use it then more people will be familiar with it and come back.  I'm not suggesting this as a permanent solution, or keeping this scenario in forever, but give it another try.

Because it sucked and everyone was flying la7s around. That is remember that whole historical thing the AvA is setup for.

If you could magically arrange for me to have some skills, instead of being an easy kill?, k, thanx, bye...

Maybe Okinawa on a true 1 to 1 scale with a true fuel burn?

I love the realistic map setups but the bases seem to be right on top of each other. Its so bad that I have to turn nearly every icon off on the clipboard map.


Another option (Wont make any friends on this.) is to turn perks on?

Have it so you can use those perks in the MA also. I know youll get milk maids but some people like me with login just to find them. With the bases so tight youll be able to find them easily. Even add a perk plane to each side?

A few thoughts. I’m not sure what’s possible with the current level of game development.

Icons:
Set closure and departure (+/-) to a neutral color and on at 2500yds; Plane type/country color on at 1000yds; icons off at 300yds or less and turn off the chess piece symbol.

GPS off:
Set the airplane map icon that shows your current position so it doesn’t rotate to show your heading. Better yet turn it off completely provided your aircraft position is always at the center of the map.

Dot dar available in the tower only; bar dar available in-flight.

Howdy all.

I’m knew to AH, but have flown since 1999 in Fighter Ace 1.5, Fighter 2.0, Fighter Ace 2.5 and then WarBirds with a Mac when my old PC couldn’t keep up with the graphics requirements.

In Fighter Ace I ultimately ended up in what they called the “Realistic Arena.”  Flight models were as real as they could make them and there were cockpits instead of just a cross hair in the center of the computer screen as with their other arenas.

Several things became immediately apparent.  I immediately felt “sensory deprived” since the instrument panel blocked 60% plus of the forward view.  Secondly, I kept falling out of the sky trying to recover from spins. (All other Fighter Ace arenas were stall limited.) Lastly, the arena was populated with significantly more mature pilots.

Below I have listed the different combinations that I have seen over the years in various arenas and in special events.  (Most were full plane sets except #7, and all had cockpit views only.)

1.  Normal icons and radar with stall limiter option.  (AH)

2.  Normal Icons and radar with no stall limiter available.

3.  Normal Icons with tower only radar with no stall limiter.

4.  Friendly icons only with normal radar and with no stall limiter.

5.  Friendly only icons with tower only radar with no stall limiter.

6.  No icons with “all seeing” radar available in flight (Above 300 feet AGL) with no stall limiter.

7.  No icons with no in flight radar and no stall limiter (There was a red “whisker” on the map on your own icon pointing to nearest enemy activity and a limited range "padlock nearest enemy" capability regarless of whether they were in sight or not.)

The ones that were the most fun and realistic to fly for me were numbers 4 and 6.

As I said I a new guy on the block in AH, but it surely would be a kick to fly in Allies vs. Axis with friendly only icons, no stall limiter, and a full plane set.
