Meh. Korea is interesting but WWII much more so.  WWI was interesting too but this guy was disappointed to see biplanes on the AH website especially given the amount of relevant material on the wishlist thread and dwindling numbers...   I want to see the F7F and F8F as much as the next guy...  I also you periods alot in my posts...

Do you have access to this information?   If not, then why type that in the first place?

Again, having another era represented by dedicated arena can do only one thing: Provide more play options for a larger group of subscribers.  If you complain that your beloved era is going to get neglected then you are shortsighted.  Dedicated? Yes...but the company needs to grow and incorporating new material, new planes, new vehicles, new terrains does only one thing: It grows AH and it is GOOD.  Pyro HT and crew have work for years and years and we will have AH for years and years.  It is all good people.

No F7F or F8F in Korea either.

You must be thinking of the 1946-1949 arena where you just fly around threatening each other.  No shooting allowed.

F-86 VS Mig-15 would see use im sure...

There are alot of 262 pilots out there like myself that have been waiting for a multi-player jet oriented game to use thier skills.

The thing is... the B-29 would be a MAJOR factor in any Korean Sim, since it was the target of the MIG's in the first place.
Though I would love to see the F4u, A1 skyraider, F-84,86, and MIG implimented, there is ALOT of modeling yet to achieve in the WW2 arena before we could have an accurate arena.
WW1 Arena is in the most need of update..., it's dying on the cross, and needs our famouse HT's attention...., my advice is to be patient, tell your friends about the game, and get them involved.
Without players, our game is doomed to fail... :aok

It might not be the most popular oppinion, but this game needs a revamp as far as the B-29 in concernd.
Having this bomber would lower the perk cost of all interceptors,and though it would take a remodeling of the hangers, I believe it would be worth it to have a more fierce comepition.

A way to lighten the affect of the B-29 would be to allow 163's a larger area of bases from which it could up..., so that in a deffencive possition the losing country could more affectivly defend against the American SUPER bomber, though the Japs didnt have the same choice, im sure the community could come up with an effective deterent.

This game is currently butting heads with reality and community prefrence, and its tricky to ask the staff to figure out how to implement VASTLY supperior aircraft...., Perk them, and lets move on guys.
I hate to admit it, but the 29's time has come, and behind it rests the possibility of a larger community, and a succesful Korean Arena...
Its a giant risk for HT..., but mabey, JUST mabe it can be brought to fruition. :aok

Yes, been in there and since then the arena die down.  I thought a lot of people would be in there but it dose not seem to attract a lot of attention.

Its funny that there was a huge demand for the WW1 arena,and although it was pretty busy initally,I never see more than 10 people at a time there.Just wondering where all those people are now. Cant hurt to give Korea a try.
Don't try and outweird me.I get stranger things than you free in my breakfast cereal!

Yea, be lucky if you see 20 ppl on there now.  Personally, it would be time consuming to design the Koreans War AC with exceptions that we have a few right now.

10 people is a big crowd in there.  You know, I figured it would take a few months to pan out and it has been somewhat disappointing, but I tell you I dont think its because WW1 era simply sucks.  I believe a better initial planeset might have been more reasonable, but I really cant say.........Im not the expert in game design.  However, there is something at play in there that is keeping the casual gamers away.  Right now most of the people that frequent the WW1 arena are very capable with the planeset.  Perhaps the WW1 arena is just too difficult for the average LW players.   I do not know.
Hopefully a SE5a and Albatross combo...maybe a Spad and Niewport might perk things up.  The rotary engined airplanes are sort of like bucking broncos, very hard to get a feel for....

No, it's just not immersive at all.  It doesn't feel like a war is going on.  Even when it was populated, it never felt right.

I agree with you that the WWI era dose not sucks. Not sure what happen that the number of people in there is that low but maybe that is a idal number.  Maybe the Korean War era would be far better then i think it would be.  Having the saber and mig jets would attract more people especially thous who can not fly the 262, 234 or 163 do to perk points. Who would pass up flaying something like this (post # 29) http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,288234.msg3662004.html#msg3662004
