Sorry, but this bugs me every time someone says it.

Early war, Mid war and Late wars are all Main arenas.  No matter how more people go into Late wars compared to Mid/Early they are still "[name] War Main [color]". :aok

Yup, it bugs me too.  I even went so far once, as to quote the help page on the HiTech site.

And as far as them going to LW to farm, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT!!  Stay where you fly - farm your precious perkies there, so everyone in that arena can see what a perk-farming dweeb you really are.

May be technically, but numbers says only LWAs are main :) Otherwise you should explain why AvA isnt main but EWA is.

So?  They aren't actually fighting anyone anyway so who cares?

1) You can fight them even if they dont want fight you  :rolleyes:
2) If you looking for fight vs EW planes you wouldnt log in empty EWA. But if there are some ppl in arena you dont know what they doing until you log in and see. And you have chance to find another player like you who looking for fight here, or attract some more ppl by increasing arena numbers.

this is a no-brainer and been suggested many times, and current perks should be split according to time spent in each arena for each perk class.

can't see any good reason not to do this.

Since there are so many threads started because of complaints from the LW people when they "are forced" to play in *shudder* the Blue arena because Orange is full, I guess there's only ONE main arena - Late War Orange.  Thankfully, numbers don't mean a thing - you people need to get that through your stubborn heads. 

I didn't want to have to do this again, but...(note HTC's use of the word "Main")
Quote from: http://www.hitechcreations.com/ahhelp/arenaframe.html
The Early, Mid, and Late War Main Arenas are where you'll find the majority of players.  These arenas differ in the plane sets offered. The Early War Main arena has early World War II planes or planes which best compete in that era. The Mid War Main Arena contains planes specific to the middle of World War II as well as the planes from the Early War Main arena.
The Late War Main Arena has all aircraft enabled from all time periods of World War II.


Otherwise you should explain why AvA isnt main but EWA is.
Ok, you asked for it (notice HTC didn't include the word "Main" in any of these):

Quote from: http://www.hitechcreations.com/ahhelp/arenaframe.html
The Axis versus Allies arena is set up for historical gameplay.  There is a two sided war, a limited plane set, and reduced radar.

The Dueling Arena contains a special terrain with separate areas for all types of game play including furballing, tanking, and canyon fighting. 

The Special Events Arena is available to all players and events are scheduled by the Aces High Campaign Managers.

Only argument I see here is HTC included or not word "Main" in arena name. Did I said "technically" in previous post?  :huh

Technically Oleg,

Technically you did say "technically".  But technically, using the word technically is over-used and, technically, it doesn't usually change the facts.  Technically speaking, facts are facts.

Technically yours,

First off Ack Ack, Sally had nothing to do with anything, if you could please be so kind and apologize to him for using his name.

Second,  I think it is quite funny, the way you put this thread on. You were land grabbing which is funny, calling the kettle black... It started out as a grudge match between myself and hung. But after you people started crying we thought we would step it up a notch, and watch you all cry some more. Wow did you cry I don't think a blankie and a bottle would make you stop! In words, I get a laugh out of watching you cry and whine about it.

 And about me being a good pilot, Who makes you the judge? Just because I don't want to run to the DA to fight you. Like I said I have nothing to prove to you. Reason being: it's a game and "I" pay for it just like everyone else, how "I" chose to play is my business. I could care about my score and being top ranked! Now if you would like to pay for my subscription, I will gladly fly the way you would want me to fly and follow your orders, until then I believe i told you the other night what you can clearly do.

Thanks and good day.

Sally and 1Hunglo were doing the same thing a few days prior to you and 1Hunglo doing it.  In fact, Sally had replied then that 1Hunglo should be grateful that he had a squadron mate willing to do what he did.  So, no apologies coming from me.

Land grabbing?  Ask anyone that flies in the MW arena I hardly, if ever, take part in base captures.  Even my stats reflect that.

Don't lie.  1Hunglo openly admitted what he was doing when he and Sally were first caught prior to you and 1Hunglo being caught.  When 1Hunglo and you were caught, 1Hunglo again admitted what he was doing and gave the same reasons as before when he claimed it was because his son burned through all of his perks.

You can try and make up whatever story you like but facts are facts and they paint a completely different version of events than what you described.

anyone that has to go to the EW or MW to farm perk points to use in the LW arenas is enough of an indicator that the person lacks any sort of skill whatsoever to gain perks through normal game play.  If you had any sort of skill, why would you engage is what amounts to shady game play?  Or are you one of those tools that expects everything handed to them without having to work for it?

You're right, if you want to basically exploit the game by taking advantage of the perks system to gain perks without any risk, so be it.  It just says a lot about your character and those that engage in this activity with you.

Thank you for showing why we need something in place to stop what you and your Luftmorder buddies do in the MW and I can see why you lied in your telling of events.  If I was a skilless tool like you and this was my only way to gain perks, I wouldn't want this feature implemented either.

So what's your point? If they want to up a perked vehicle in MW, they should spend some time there to earn those perkies.  If they only play in EW, then who cares - let their perks accumulate.  Just because you have perkies, doesn't mean you have to use them.

Hey how about this:
Perks you earn in earlier arenas are worth less in later arenas and vice-versa.
6 EW perks <=> 4 MW perks <=> 2 LW perks
or
100 EW perks <=> 10 MW perks <=> 1 LW perks

Great Idea Ack!    ... but what to do with the perks a player may already have?

 Split them up? have player choose? split even between arenas?

 Just stirring the pot :D  Not everyone has your kinda perks... :devil
