A 3 base WW1 terrain?
« on: March 25, 2010, 08:47:19 PM »
   I'm planning on submitting a terrain for the WW1 arena soon.  I don't know if HTC will weigh in here or not, but what does the community think?  With about 50 people in the arena in U.S. primetime now, would a terrain with only one base per side work better?  It was the discussion on 200 in the arena a minute ago & got me wondering.  I have some excellent textures & a good layout planned, I just need to know how many fields per side to place (plus a new terrain editor version with the WW1 field :pray).  Thoughts?

Who knows maybe we can get it up in WWI #2 and have a choice.

I saw submit it.  The worse they can say is "no."  Although, something about a 3 base terrain seems to remind me of the DA furball lake.  But, who knows how it will turn out.

I would like to see some ground structures to fly through...bridges to fly under under. bombed out towns to fly through... power poles, church towers...barns to fly through...headge rows...taller trees etc...

Something to make flying on deck more interesting and dangerous....

dogfighting thru what you described would be great and more realistic IMO

not sure why we need 3 countries
I had a thought that if you had 2 countries facing each other (as it was) over the front line
they could have 3 bases each
the center ones you could pick any plane
the outta bases only allied or German depending on which side you where on
then if your up for manic furbal, anything goes, you up centre field
but if your interested in more of a historical match up , up at outer bases
just a thought ...

Shhh...someone might object to the use of that world...nothing is allowed to be realistic, it's a game.  :airplane:

I tend to dislike playing in a crowd.  I prefer 2 on 2, 3 on 3, various combinations like that.  Not these 10 v 10 furballs where everyone is just flying around in circles taking potshots at whoever flys in front of their guns.  Having the other fields available and having three countries allows for some flexibility today.  A two country - two field set up is the obvious conclusion for the suggestion here.  Not what I would prefer.

Would really help to hear from HTC on this.  Can't do anything until the newest version of the terrain editor comes out anyway.  I can do all the terrain work, just need those new airfields.
