Rolling Plane Set
« on: September 24, 2008, 06:20:02 AM »
I know this is an old thread, I just want to probe the thoughts about this. I'm also sick to see Spixteens fighting vs early/mid war planes in the MA.. 
HTC could use less server with more capacity, IMO they could merge the 4 MAs into 1 or 2 MA with rolling plane set, but different Map.
I know there will be bad guys that dont want to quit flying their favourite plane just for a couple of days, and they will reply to this topic, cursing and sending me to hell.
I hope in some polite replies then.
Thank you
Thanks bad guys,  you 2.

RPS doesn't work. It's been done before. It's failed. In AH it won't be done. So sayeth Hitech!

AvA is there for a reason. Won't happen in the MA. :aok

The only thing that failed when there was an RPS was the player base.  The whining and gnashing of teeth over not being able to fly a P-51D was deafening.  Some of us loved it, but I agree with the others that it's not going to happen in any main arena.

I doubt it will ever happen but I think the community as a whole would produce better fighting pilots if they were forced to fly some early war birds every now and again.

One of my favorite nights on AH2 was when the MAs were all down and 200 or more were furballing in the AvA.  It was lots of fun.

On the other hand, this is one of the changes that might lighten the load upon the MA whiners on how they can't find good fights and yadayada, since the disparity between plane performance is typically a lot lower with early/mid war planes , and the generally slower airspeeds, lighter armaments effecting combat to make the fights more prolonged.

In a midwar setup, planes like the 190As or the P-47s are among the fastest at deck, but with others trailing very close by. The Lalas are limited to two ShVak cannons, our Typhs with 1944 configuration won't be allowed in midwar setups, and potentially only the P-51B will start to pose as a big 'runner' plane, only in the final stages of the midwar setups.

Ofcourse, the same follows with jabos and bombers, since a typically much lighter bomb load will make it at least twice as more difficult to down carriers or shutoff airfields/Vfields, and such.

Something to think about.

I like fighting in the LWA's with EW/MW planes sometimes.  In fact I fly a few almost every month.  This month it's been the Bf109E-4, Bf110C, F4F-4, Spit I and maybe a few others.

If you want to fly EW or MW planes in the LWA's just fly them.  They're as capable as anything else.  Hell, I managed to land 3 kills in a Spit I this camp.

Besides that, if you want to match up EW to EW or MW to MW go to the EW or MW arenas.  They need the people more than LW needs a rolling plane set.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Not gonna happen. Jeez, remember the brouhaha over the RPS back in that... er... other MMO flight sim?  Constant gnashing of teeth over the correct time placement of the planes, moans about acceptable substitutes from the plane set, whines of "why can't I fly what I want?", etc.  Endless complaining.  It was unpleasant.

IMHO, you should come fly the AvA or events like the FSO and Scenarios, if historic match-ups is what you crave.

sigh...

if someone wants a rolling planeset nothing stops them from playing EW for a few days, MW for a few days, LW for a few days, and then AvA for a more historical feel...

I do when there are European-friendly time scenarios (now I'm in Sunday European Campaign)

AvA is there for a reason. Won't happen in the MA. :aok
AvA doesnt have a rolling plane set  ... Does it?

Sweet  :D

I dont know when, I know ths game from the 2005 (2 weeks), I've been playing it for only 6 months (couldnt afford it before), there was not rolling plane set 3 yrs ago, may be when they tried there were not enough planes? I dont know just askin..

IMO this game is becoming like 1 of the others MMORPG (check achronym) where ppl who plays is the classic "gamer"  plays for 2 or 3 months and then leaves. I would be happy to see more simulation, hystorical simulation, and less squeeker's game settings. Looks like the number of squeekers is growing  :noid

I know seems I got a squeeker disease

Ok now u are free to curse me, I know u want to. Come on!! :t
