I was on my way into a fight last night, There was a nice red cloud coming up in front of me. But off to my side there were 9 green guys chasing one poor red guy.

And yes I called them on it, exactly 3 reversed direction.

Gentlemen, there is never, ever, any excuse for more than 2 on a single con.

Ever

So if you find yourself with a crowd let the first 2 have it, and go get your own.

Major hoarding in WW1 arenas. 4 on 1 is the new thing now apparently.

The gameplay in the WWI arenas is still far better than the LWMA.

I poked my head in LWMA on Saturday, I think, and left after a couple sorties of chasing Lightspeed Plane X into a gaggle of Lightspeed Plane Y's.

That's really the problem. You can warn the green guys all you want. You could tell them there's a dozen D.VIIs overhead about to dive in on them, but they ALL have to be the one to put the magic BB into that one red con on the deck.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

It's not like anyone has to defend against a base capture or anything.  Every pilot after the 2nd one on a con is a total dweeb.  It's obvious the WWII arena mentality will be a hard thing to shake for most people.  It's not always "who gets the kill" - in the WWI arena it's all about the fight.  Argue this all you want, but the way the arena is set up, that's the way it is.

Enjoy the experience of the new planes.  Check out the new damage model.  Forget about kills/score/rank/etc.  Learn some new tactics and ACM.  Have fun.

Man, I dont know why some of you guys are whining so intensely.  Im absolutely loving the challenge of it.  The speed of it is so enjoyable.  In this arena I can screw up big time and then actually get a fair reversal...and get outflown, shot up, screw up again...and then get another reversal.  And survive two, three, four....five attackers simultaneously.   And kill my opponent, and then another.  And when my plane plows in I dont mind at all because I was able to put up a worthwhile fight without the crutch of enormous redicluous alt grabbing extendable horsepower and massively heavy hitting cannon.  Heres its a good old fashioned bar fist fight on a dirt floor and it is fun as hell.

Exactly.......

I personally don't mind the 5 v 1 on me.  Odds are that 1 or 2 will auger in an attempt to get me, and I will reverse and kill at least one other.

What I don't understand is the 9 friendlies vs 1 green guy then biatching about an assist (or nothing at all) when you were #4 or later in the gang bang.  If there are 2 or more on someone, why bother?  You are not going to be the one to get the kill.  This is especially confusing when there is a constant flow of bad guys and there are 10-15 cons coming that are not engaged, yet.

"I really hate it when im busy pounding lead into a bogey...."

 When you're just one of several friendlies in a conga line on an enemy bogy and
you do that (call a 1-on-1) do you really expect anyone to respect that? They
could careless as they hope to be firing the golden "bb" that nails enemy con.
It also sounds like you're spraying and praying from long distance with zip, zilch,
nada for SA too.

Just curious, as I have not seen anyone do it yet, but why not just call out you want to do a 1 on 1, or 2 on 2 and arrange it over the radio, especially if a couple of opposing bases have no one flying from them?  Just a thought.

My guess would be the fear of some jerk or a group of jerks swooping in to intercept the good fight.

Have you flown in the arena yet?

There is not too much swooping of any kind to be had     :rofl

All I have seen, for the most part, is people trying to get comfortable withthe new arena, the new planes.  Im not so concerned about behavors and arena decorum right now.  People just want to get the lead out...

Although last night I did tangle with a few people who really..I mean REALLY had a handle on things.  Fight for my virtual life I did.....I think I came out of those at about 50/50.  I'm still not 100% yet but Im digging air combat again :)
