I assume your right though I would love to see some people outside of their super rides into some older planes without being at a super disadvantage as every one else would be in older planes too.
The only thing that will happen if you force someone to fly a plane they don't want to is going to be that player does one of two things. 1) Not play until his plane of choice becomes available or 2) cancel their subscription.
All you are trying to do with this request is to force players to fly planes they don't have any interest or desire to fly. It's not going to promote any good fights, it's not going to change the dynamics of the arenas, it's not going to make someone that was less willing to fight in a late war plane suddenly become willing to fight in a early or mid war plane. You're going to see the same type of behavior as we do currently. The only thing that will change is the arena will be less populated until the tail end when all planes are available.
Ask yourself this, if an RPS system is such a good idea why didn't HiTech make it a part of the game? I mean, if it was successful and popular with the players, you would think that he would have brought over the RPS system he put in WB to AH but he didn't.
and I don't believe I am wrong on midwar I was on all day today it never once in my hourly intervals peaked above 14 =/ if the arena could muster 50 people regularly that were doing something other than being afk or farming bomber perks or gv perks I would be in the ew and mid war more often than late.
You are mistaken about the MW arena, though with the recent introduction of the WW1 arenas, the population has been on the low side this past week and a half.
