AVA ww1 arena

[gyrene81]

I'm sorry sir, but did you say something?  Funny but the stats call you a fool.  Not me, just the stats.... I want to make that perfectly clear.

I understand LLogann...it's all in the numbers...here is your trouble back...did it every occur to you that the stats reflect the usage of each plane type? As in, more people are flying the D.VII and Dr.1 more than the other planes...it's actually pretty obvious when you spend more than a few minutes in there. I'm not good at all but I can get 2 or 3 kills in a Camel against D.VIIs and Dr.1s...landing is another issue entirely.

They were Training..Squads use the arena to train in there Bigshot  

Ah, no wonder TA is empty. Didn't know about switchover. My sincere apologies.

[jimson]

Actually we sometimes do train in there, just to be there and hope some others will come in and then we can do some fighting.

Hanging out in an empty arena hoping to draw some in.

We are dedicated, at least you can say that.

Their learning  the map BigShot

I play looking for fights.  Any way shape or form.  I really cannot understand how not seeing the bad guy or where he may be coming from, could help in that department.  If you guys like it because it adds more realism that is fine.  Have fun in there, enjoy it if you like it. However, I will express my displeasure about it and make fun of it because, well, the AvA was something I could use in the past but can't now, and because in my opinion it does not promote fighting.  That is just marketing lol.

Thanks for the reply Totally understandable... you haven't given it enough time you gave up to fast.  Tell you what..

Want a fight come in tonight Bring some Friends... We will fight. You tell me how lame it is. Monday there were only 15 in there it was far more action packed then the Mid war ever is with 30+. it was non stop. Its all how you set up the maps your not flying miles on end. The action is almost immediate

Want fights in there? Help us get the numbers up. Bashing it only hurts us. What are we doing to hurt you? why not help... Then you ll have it be your first choice again.. Your a good pilot don't worry you can hang in there....

Have you guys ever thought of splitting the numbers and just start fighting instead of waiting? Guess that doesn't go well with realism, huh?

You personally nothing.  But is is not my game.  Not in WWi and not into no icons.  We have a few WWI arenas, did we need another?  I did help in the past as match as I could.  Your turn now 

Plus, if anything, bashing it will most likely cause people to go see what all the fuss is about, so see?  I am helping

So whenever there is map change, they will 'learn the map'? How many weeks it takes to 'learn the map'? Do you get different editions for different countries?

This realism thingy is fascinating.

LOL thanks for the help then.. AvA was only WWI for a week its WW2 in there this week check it out.

Anyways, just looked in AvA. .

Your my hero Bigbreath....BTW is... Anyways a real word? just wondering, Is it like Idearrrrr...

Gee, never thought of that.

We do many things there including splitting up and fighting each other. Sometimes we practice certain things as a squad, the other day we practiced some formation flying and coordinated field de-acking, but we always take care not to pork the arena against no opposition.

We could practice everything in the TA but that does nothing for AvA. When we are there usually a couple of more people come to check it out.

Then we split up for some fighting.

That's what we do to try to help get the arena going again.

[2bighorn]

Anyways a real word? just wondering, Is it like Idearrrrr...

but, anyways, we're such old friends, and t' hide a word of honest truth fro' one another would be a sin and a pity.

People would call me a low- down Abolitionist and despise me for keeping mum -- but that don't make no difference. I ain't a-going to tell, and I ain't a-going back there, anyways. So, now, le's know all about it.

When I was able to fly the last two set ups with the "no enemy icon" settings is was just that.  Sure it was maybe 14 vs 14 at a peak and 9 vs 9 on average but it was fun as hell.  I'm on a cheap bellybutton computer with a 17" screen and was able to find people just fine. Maybe I'm special.  I guess I missed the night where it was 100 vs 18. Sounds awful.

I can't talk for you, only for myself and few times I logged in AvA. Even that was a small sample. Besides, I wasn't criticizing AvA, nor its staff, just few lame excuses from few select people for select (lame) actions.

I really suggest you to read (and get the context) before jumping on my tail, otherwise I'll have to agree with Dedalos about you not being able to take any criticism, whether being constructive or not.

[LLogann]

   You left out the other part of my post.............

EDIT.......  Of course it also shows that most people want to up the Axis rides.....  So in an AvA WWI setup you would have 100 guys flying Axis and 18 flying Allies.  Is that going to be fun?

That is the thing in and of itself, usage.........  EVERYBODY is going to fly Axis, aside from the 18 guys in Camels.

And I don't want you to think me disrespectful.  I know I sound it, but my overall concern is the good of the game.  The FB2 doesn't get much play, the DR.I turns much better than the rest and the D.VII may just be the best plane of the war.  Until Allies get a Spad XVI it's pretty much going to stay this way.  So in an AvA setup, nobody is going to want to fly Allies.

Seems like a lot of estrogen floating around these days because I sure as hell was not jumping your tail. I don't even know how you could have interpreted it that way but whatever.

Yet that was not the case.
