Kind of just randomly thought of this idea from Belial's 3rd arena thread and thought it would be a really fun idea, that would be good for business, and help mix things up when doing the same old thing in the main arena starts to get boring.
The object of the game would be simple, capture the flag and get it back to your country's indestructible. Once this objective is accomplished, the map resets and the game starts over again. Maybe even keep stats as to the top flag getters and such. A new map would have to be designed which would be really small and strategic. Maybe only enable a few different types of airplanes, that don't carry much ordnance.
I think this arena could be capped at 100-150 players. You could autobalance the arena by making every tank in it Eny 3 or so, meaning that if Eny is out of whack just a little bit, you won't be able to drive your tank.
To be honest, I don't really think I would play this set up that much since I'd much rather be flying, but I definitely would do it when things got boring in the MAz. It would bring an entirely different strategic arcade type element to Aces High that would attract a lot of new customers. Just figured I'd throw it out there for HiTech and anybody else to read and comment on, but I only see positives coming out of implementing something like this.
I should also add that I don't think this type of game play should take away from the Main Arena and WWII historical elements that it brings and the essence of Aces High. I envision it as a fun little side game that would go a long way.
