None of you remember the Korean War Jet Night we did in the MA?  :noid

M was there an actual vote on the opening of a new era arena I missed? :(
Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

That's hot.

Korean war just doesn't have enough competitive air frames to keep me interested,,,, as opposed to WW1.

Closing speeds too high, gunnery here too bad.

Jet on Jet combat especially with guns is split second snapshots, with maneuvering barely within visual range.  You don't saddle up at 400.

Collisions would abound, as folks can't compensate.  There goes your pretty little Sabre perks, from some noob diving in a -17 at just about the speed of sound.

99.9% of you would get frustrated beyond compare.  Again, it's been done before, and it was horrible. You'd have a whole arena, with two competitive airframes.  Yay.  <Snore>

Whatever, if it makes people happy, go for it.  But, as I've said before, over-diversifying one's product has been the bane of many a company. Many of the people saying they're not interested in either WW1 or Korea have already seen it once.  But, it seems, history is doomed to repeat itself over and over again.

This mysticism with jets by folks that can't fly a spitfire in the MA's is surreal.

I hope thats a development screenshot and not a photoshop.

I'd like to see a Korean arena.  It wouldn't need all the planes listed in the OP.  Add the F-86 and the Mig 15.  Pull the P-51D and a few other existing models in and it's started.

Down the road it would be nice to see a few of the later aircraft like the F8F, A26 and others added.

I just don't see expansion of the game as a bad thing at all.  More planes, more eras, more arenas = more options, more fun.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Still questionable why anyone interested in WWI or korea would go to a WWII game to play.

Your going to spread it out.. how about nam or balloon wars.

Hope what most of us came here for does not stagnate again!

Lol this is just like reading the reasoning why the F-4 Phantom was originally built without a gun :)
"Jets are too fast" "they cannot turn" "there's no ACM involved anymore"  :rofl

I'd love to fly Aces High Korea and all the special events, which could be built around those planes... drooool  :pray

Count me in!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

You mean Sabres vs Sabres, right?  Few people would take the MiG I expect.

Actually, it is exactly not like that.

Maybe they come here because they want to do this with other humans.  Maybe other people are interested in other eras of air combat.  Maybe the fact that the closest thing to the WWI arena on here is RoF.  RoF is for all intents and purposes is like a late stage beta and it's beta testing period was like an alpha.  On people wanting Korean war stuff, as far as I remember there hasn't been a good Korean war sim in a while.  Instead of whining in every thread about your fear of stagnation, you should look at it this way.  If the WWII MAs(all for of them) get stagnant maybe it would be a good time to take a break.

Allaire don't bother wasting the text on him.  The many reasons why people would like
what's coming have been spelled out clearly by several folks but all he continues to do
is post negatively in order to derail the topic and kill any decent discussion.

 But you are 100% right. People come her to "fly or" play against other people with
WWII aircraft and soon it can be with WWI aircraft. Simply because people came here
because HTC offered AH with it's WWII aircraft it would be shallow and myopic for
someone to think that many wouldn't also like a WWI (or Korea or Vietnam) venue.

 I came for the WWII aircraft, got bored with the fantasy MA thing and stopped "flying"
online to await CT. It never happened.  But now WWI aircraft are coming and it'll be fun.
 Maybe enjoyable enough to stick around until the MA fantasy setup loses it's luster
again but by then maybe something nice and promising will be boiling in the pot.

Now try to answer thwe question. You failed in this post.

If you think every post you do not agree with is a whine.. I feel very sorry for you. Maybe some day when your old enough you find out how to have a discussion.
