True. BK MOAT and WOOWOO should be enshrined at The Smithsonian.

It's more like it's hard to find a fight in EW since most that play in there do nothing but milk run undefended bases.  Other day I saw 15 in EW, figured I'd drop in and up a G and have some fun.  Turns out I was the only player in a fighter, everyone else was in a GV or buff hitting undefended bases.

Been there done that too. Although once they all upped at once to fight. Fought all five of them together for a few minutes before they got me. Then one has the audacity to tell me what I did wrong.     :D

 :rofl no..... not the mighty Kuhn T. You should have upped a D3A. I flew against 6 of them there without receiving as much as a ping, got 2 of them and pinged the heck outta the rest. I tried to rtb when outta ammo and they chased me all the way back while blasting me on the all channel. One guy augered diving on me when his 109 comressed right at my base. I was laughing so hard I screwed up the landing and didn't land the kills. That was sometime ago and I haven't been back. It could and was a fun place to fight about a year ago. Heck Lusche was playing alot in the arena back then. Now the place is like taking a handful of Benedryl.  It would be fun to have a EW night once a week. It most likely would turn into a Hurri fest though.

We could probably even drag Levia-Elf out for a good old BBQ.  Even she has her weaknesses.

Thats Kuhn T Hall to you BigplayT. I agree the EW was fun at one time and the Hurri2s were abundant. That one night a week thing could work with the right people.

It would most likely work for a few days or even a couple of weeks but the lack of a really true EW plane set will eventually cause most to lose interest.  Hopefully, with the Brewster teaser Pyro gave us, hopefully the EW plane set will start getting addressed.

I'm hoping theres one or two more comperable A/C coming in with the Brewster (I-16? Gladiator?) that we aren't hearing about. The EW can be a blast the once a year you actually find a good fight in there. Its nothing but a perk farm now.

Now thats a good idea.  TT's flaws outweigh it's positives in my book.  Unless its a SAPP night I'll usually look in the MW or AvA for some good fights.
