My only complaint was making it tot tuesday on a saturday. Con could be held in orange so they can have fun. We went to MW and it's ranks were swelled by the same fact.

Con goers were flying from one airfield in the entire arena. There was plenty of land to grab away from where we were. The DR1 MKXIII couldn't get that far with a 200mph cruise speed. If we pushed folks to MW then we expanded their horizons.

I used to fly MW alot till it was messed up. It was still tot tuesday on a saturday.

BTW.. you did not push anyone anywhere.... the correct term would be "ruined" LW. No problem with the con... but not having choice of LW arenas was the bad part. Folks expect tuesdays to be poor now so be it... but to mess up a weekend? Well that is my complaint. Can't make it any easier to understand.

It is interesting to me that only those who hate it say blanket statements like "everyone hates it," ect. I like Titanic Tuesday, mainly because of the ensuing GV fights. We had a MASSIVE fight south of V90 with little air interruption and nearly perfect terrain that lasted for hours, 20+ tanks to each side. I'm sure there would've been more if the Conners weren't grabbing attention at the time.

But, I'm sure not being a purest fighter jock makes me a "tot" too.

I prefer a choice.

From what I have read most prefer a choice.

Thank God there is only one day for TT. If it were popular it might be six days.

I agree with your assessment of folks wanting a choice but I do remember all the grief that HTC received when splitting the arenas and now we have grief about having one large arena for a few more days that only happens once a year.  I guess I'm just getting older (I'm already older than dirt anyways), yesterday I logged on and heard all the griefing about the arena still being screwed up and have seen it all over the message bases and from some of my own squaddies complaining about the CON arena still up.  I really just had to shake my head and wonder just what folks really expect for the small amount of money they spend to have the entertainment that we enjoy here.  I'm really kinda ashamed at the community we have in AH when they grief about those who spent lots of hard earned cash to go to the convention and received a trivial interruption in the expected enjoyment of those who couldn't or wouldn't attend.  I myself was one who complained about the splitting of the arenas and now I kinda like it.  I just gotta say that it's pretty petty for us to vitch about the little extra enjoyment that those who spent lots of cash to attend the convention received for just a frigging weekend.

All the Best...

They could have enjoyed it in one of the LW arenas just as easily.

Most people?? Where do you get your info from. Please post it for us all to consume.

Well opinions vary. Let's see... last year at con there was an announcement that later was determined it would take too much manpower. So there is a definite limitation in resources. When your a small outfit, any.... and I do mean ANY, draw on manpower is an important issue. That is something I'm sure HT has thought about any time some new idea hits the mill. Hopefully this one will not negatively impact our WWII aircraft enjoyment.

Seems so. Numbers are quite good on that day. And many, many players (like myself ;) ) do actually look forward to TT each week.
Of course you don't hear about them, because they are not complaining  :P

And we both know that popularity alone is not what HTC's decisions are based upon...see arena caps ;)
