An advanced setting arena or simply alternatives to current Arena settings once a week or month (letters are in rank of setting preference):
1. When Radar goes down, base does not flash for AIRCRAFT
Benefit - allows for jumping non-SA pilots taking off or landing or anytime, allows for taking base via air without arriving to find 20 Flacks
- increases player communication and teamwork, no longer would a base only need protecting when it flashes
A. for planes at any altitude (Radar is DOWN!)
B. for planes above a minimum altitude Above Ground Level - AGL (example: 1,000 Above Ground Level -AGL)
C. for planes above a set altitude (example 1,000 ft) no matter if you are at 2,000 ft altitude but only 700 feet Above Ground Level
2. No A/C Icon (dots would still show up on Radar circles when radar is up but not in non-radar covered areas )
Benefit - allows for more realistic Aircraft Identification skills especially in non-radar areas
- increases player communication and teamwork, call out enemy planes when encountered
A. NO Icons for any planes- must identify plane from radar dot, shape or colors (would have to limit plane types by country for this to work, example US-Rooks, British-Bishop, German-Knights or some version thereof) Would work well in AXIS vs ALLIES Arena
B. NO Icons for Enemy Planes only (similar to GV icon settings for other GV's)
C. NO Range Icons for Enemy Planes
D. NO Plane or Range Icon for Enemy Planes - Generic Enemy Identifier Only
3. Weekly or monthly "Special" or "Crazy" Arenas involving weird or unusual setups
Examples:
One vehicle only, such as M3's against M3's, Jeeps against Jeeps, etc
One plane only, such as Stunkas against Stunkas, B17's against B17's or Bombers against Bombers
You could address all of the above by bringing back user maps where users can start their own arena with their own settings. You can make this for paying users only if you don't want to go back to the Free 8 player arenas.
