Enable All Channels? 

With new players coming into the Arena, and some coming over from EW or MW, Channel 200 may not be tuned.  I received this suggestion from another player and after listening to the above reason for not having 200 tuned I felt it was worth a try for at least a short evaluation period. 

I attempt to communicate to players who are listed in the roster but are not responding.  Usually, I am giving them hints like:

  • enemy icons are turned off
  • only 2 countries have vehicles enabled
  • if you are looking for a dogfight this base to this base would be good let's meet here....

Why, thank you, Fork!  Probably this will work out best if you broadcast your credit card information at about 9 pm Eastern time.

Good - no enemy icons/short range friendly icons/reasonable historical setups

Bad - no friendly icons or friendly icons set shorter than 2.5k

I would like to see the  :airplane: Hellcat, Wildcat, and F4U more frequently.  Balancing the time period planesets must be a nightmare.  But you guys seem to get it right.  In PTO, Japanese planes were the cutting edge at the beginning, but as the Allied production and training advanced, they soon reversed this advantage.  There have been some discussions on bringing these production issues into setups through base capture.  :aok

Also, I have noticed a large number of players that prefer German iron.  Likewise, there are those of us, who are just as biased towards Allied equipment.  In the past, 30 mm cannons have placed their mark on a good share of Allied planes, which have seemed to "spit" back .303s or 50 cals.  The talk of introducing scaled performance damage to planes promises to boost the MG's effectiveness.  :x   This I can't wait to see how it will effect some of those old battles, and hope that AvA would concentrate on European Theater at that time.

My AvA world needs more JUGS!!!   Would P47 D11 fit into Mediteranean Europe?  I read that the P47 was the American plane that flew the most combat missions.

Chilli - you mean the Italian Campaign from 1943-1945?  Was a whole lot of jugs used there... as well as FW-190A-5, Bf-109G-2's, C205's etc...
