What if we had a "private" arena. Historical, 2 sided. Only squads would fly in this arena, for axis or allies. You could recruit from the main arena. All people on a side would know each other, and the leaders of each squad could form a "council" to decide war strategy for your side. Wouldnt be a good place for newbies, since they should get the hang of flying before trying to participate in missions. The limited plane idea could be enforced here, since all the players in the arena would know what was going on, and they would need to be authorized by their COs to take thosee scarce in supply uber-planes. Another cool idea i thought of is what if he was airplane factories, the enemy could bomb them to slow down the re-suupply of a particular aircraft type. In this arena you wouldnt know how many players from the opposing team were even playing, wouldnt know if a massive strike was inbound till it got there (or local DAR picked it up).
