another year older for early and mid
« on: December 24, 2008, 10:06:15 AM »
not just a wish but also a question.
 what planes would be added too early and mid sets if time advanced one year from were it is now?
i guess i never have figured out the time set for those arena's
does anyone know what years those arena's represent?


wouldn't it be cool to add the planes as they were added during the war itself?
start early at the beginning of the war and progress it thru to the end,
 adding the planes and gv,s as they came into service.
 the new scoring system would work well with this i think, it could be set up to give monthly stats instead of just
 hi score"name in lights"  that would make alot more players who like score, fly alot of early planes
then specialty pilots, say pony drivers could try to "out do" the whole of the war but would only get to fly it during its service period
also post plane stats every month, as in which  plane did the most damage, or got the most kills
make the time frame fit into a year for the whole war, with the player who does the best at the end of the war
win "king of the hill", or something like that! the score would only reflect one plane at a time per person but could be added with other versions of the same type I.E. p-47 d-11 d-25 d-40 all would be the same plane,  to win the prize you would have to be the best of the best in any one plane type, tho you could fly anything available, so one player could be first and second, in different planes.



my personal wish
midwar= one step later jug, d-25   :aok

 input please

It wouldn't be "Mid War" or "Early War" after a year or so if they did that
