When the AvA was new I would go in there once in awhile, Then it slowly became a PIKHOVULCHFEST just like the MAs! I stayed out for awhile then returned when the muppets and the UF were chalenged by jg54! The second I arrived squadies were complainin that they were being HOed relentlessly, in fact my 1st sortie I was "straight up" dirty HOed

The set up was as follows WE were US iron vs German iron! Navy rides were all that was worth upping to avoid a prolonged flight to target! The CVs were about 2 clicks off shore and the LUFTWABBLE was in the predictale and very "MA ARENA" position to punk any plane to gain even a small amount of alt! When I did get a little alt and got past the pikhorde just outside CV ack range I found luftwabble hugging ack and some coming back from climbing to the moon in opposite direction after launch!
As far as I can see the challenge was a set up and pretty sad, muppets were actually flying with jg54 (although m00t may have been the only one)
It looks to me like a set-up arena and really not for a good fair historical match-up! I was very suprised just how MA like it was, the only diff being plane choice being limited in the AvA.
So far as your statement about 45' rides goes larry, well-------> BAH! I fly 38G most of the time

A slight attitude change and a little humility may go a long way to help promote your desire in the AvA! Also being "above board" on the generally accepted tardish gameplay wouldn't hurt you guys either

Why don't you guys set up missions at specific dates and times? spend your BBs energy promoting these instead of ranting against everyone who doesn't see it your way

I would bet your success rate in attracting participation would go up immeasurably
