How about a "check fight" option

[shreck]

Ok this is what I mean. Have a feature much like the "check 6" button that can be used cross-country to instigate 1v1. A button you could use to scroll thru visible enemy cons to choose one to fight, once chosen an audible "dual" message will be herd by the con. At this moment the "insigators" icon has turned black "or whatever" so the instigatee can identify which plane has put forth the challenge. Now to accept, the "instigatee" scrolls thru and accepts the challenge by clicking on the "instigator", upon accepting the challenge both planes' icons turn black "or whatever" for all to see and "killshooter" will apply to both planes untill one is dead or they separate by 2000 yds or more! As soon as one is dead or the separation becomes too great both planes revert back to normal. To ignore the challenge the "instigatee" merely ignores it, after 10 seconds the challenge is void.

Yes anyone can go to the DA and get a 1v1, I believe what drives the 1v1 crowd to stay in the MAs is the "UNKNOWN" factor in the MA! The DA is full of absolutes, The MA is full of variables which is a tad more exciting.

Any-way just a thought!

would be interesting... I thought about the same thing....but ......I dont see any conceivable way to make it work in the MA with out it becoming abused to the point of absurdity.

It would only keep the pickers off till the fight was over.  Actually i could live with that. Game play would be more fun for me even if I automatically died after any 1v1 .

You would almost be guaranteed a death after the 1v1.

the other option is if you did not reset till someelse asked for a 1v1 an u accept or you fly out of say icon range.  I can see that later option gamed to the point of absurdity.

I think its a great idea! truly is.


although I just got a idea if the nme knows who you are, and know they cant win they will tell every one and no one will send or except "invites" and they will just gang ya anyways!

[Spikes]

I like the idea behind it all, but I think it'll find some way to get abused.

Agreed.

[kilo2]

Don't like this idea. There is the DA as you said.

[grizz441]

It's a good idea as far as the fights are concerned but it would definitely turn the game more 'arcadey'.  It also might take away some WW2 immersion from a lot of players.  I'd probably enjoy it though.

Air Warrior, as HiTech can attest as many others here, had a "duel command" that was sent and, if my limited memory recalls, it - once accepted - made both players invisible to everyone else. You would then duel until someone dies or augered etc.
I agree that this would #1 get abused, #2 detract from Game play. The dueling arena gives folks the choice and makes better sense, IMO

[saantana]

Yes, but only if this idea is taken a step further.

If the enemy that wants to duel me AND can send a cross channel message, then I want to be able to reply.

Something like;

"F*** NO"

Otherwise, +1
