You are exactly right as to what his reason for asking is Ack-Ack...
Think about it though. An arena set up in this manner would provide some interesting possibilities:
1) It would attract the "win the war" crowd versus the "looking for a fight" crowd, and would eliminate a lot of the bickering that goes on between those two camps. No longer would you hear "why did you have to take the base, we were having a good fight here?" or "why didnt you help up take the base instead of just furballing?"
2) It could be set up in a manner that you pick a team the first time you log into that arena for the tour, and have to stay with that team for the whole tour.
3) An additional scoring category could be set up for that arena based on which side won the most "wars" for the tour. You could also keep track of how long it took to do it.
4) When the map resets, so could the "era" that the map will be fought in (EW, MW or LW) so the arena would attract players who enjoy flying all types of aircraft, and provide some variety that isnt seen in any of the MA's right now.
Would it attract as many players as the LW arenas? No. But it might attract as many or more than MW does on a given day (most I have seen in MW at one time is around 40), and therefore would be a viable arena in its own right. It would provide another option for the type of gameplay that we dont exclusively have.
It would be kindof like FSO in the manner that you play on one side for an entire tour, but you dont have to wait for Fridays to do it.
Just my 2 cents...
