It is a paradox. Numbers are not in MW because MW does not have numbers.
agreed. i'd show up more often if it had the numbers

Yep, sheep mentality.  Not directed at you, 321BAR...

People just don't want to be leaders - just followers.  If more people would just go, because it's something different, then the other lemmings will say "hey, there's lots of people in (insert arena name), maybe I'll go see what's going on."

But then again, it's also the "I have to fly my uber fast cannon-laden bird in a horde, or I won't fly at all" kind of people that perpetuates the low numbers in other arenas.  Oh well, we all pay to play where and how we want.  Too bad so many are unwilling or unable to try new things.

So what your saying is the MW arena takes more skill to play in and that keeps players out....
Not skill as much. More like patience.  Need to work harder to be successful in there.  Especially when your side is getting rolled by VF15 :)

It is funny to me that every mid war thread has to have one who thinks he needs to take a shot at my squadron, we like mid war, we left mid war since so many whined about us, the numbers in there dropped to nothing,
 most of those that stayed soon asked us to come back,

 i see no good thing that can come from someone picking on another or a group that actually has players in an arena pretty much every day in a thread that complains about not having enough players!
 find some friends, help to populate the arena instead of degrading others who play there, heck even tho it was a ho fest, we still had fun just furballing with you guys last night, then you all just left, what are we supposed to do? just sign off till you come back?

having VF-15 in the midwar is a necessity. otherwise we wouldnt have anyone to complain about. while i don't always like their tactics, they're always good for a fight and that's what its all about.

Last night JG54 bombed the crap out of 33. next thing we know, Vf-15 is upping like a swarm of hornets. while i did get the snot beat out of me, we had alot of fun.

<S> to VF-15 and all the guys that make the midwar fun. We don't necessarily have the greatest numbers in the arena, but we always have a good time!

PS. I like all the maps, just wish there were some new ones to look forward too.

Nothing against you personally but your squad is the reason i hardly go in there anymore and why a lot of MW players have been in the LW arenas recently.  When i log on and see 15 nits to 5 bish and 12 of the nits are VF15 i either hit rook only or just switch to LW.  Its your take the base at all costs that turns me off personally.  Not my style of play and its really not fun for me to play against it.  Ive just learned to move on and have tried different things. I should actually thank you guys cause im having more fun in LW now then I ever had in MW.  I only come back to MW to play with certain BISH that i am friends with.  <S>

I can honestly say that there isnt a single player in MW that I dont enjoy fighting against.  Sure... sometimes I dont like what I hear on "all" channel, but I just hit squelch and keep flying.  I dont complain when I get HO'ed, or vulched, or picked...  I get a new bird and go right back up. 

And Yeager is correct, MW is a very different kind of arena.  It isnt that it takes more skill to fly there, but most of the time you cant take off and be in a fight in under 3 minutes like you can in late war.  You may have to fly a sector or two to get back into the fight that you just got knocked out of, and while the same is true in LW, in MW there may not be another fight you can just hop to.

But... to get back to the MAP issue...  As I stated before, yes... we need new maps.  Or new base layouts, or a new strat system...  something.  You hear the same thing coming form the LW arenas too.  I wouldnt even mind if the map reset on its own every 24 hours, and when the war is "won" on a map, all that happens is the colors rearrange.

The auto change every 24 sounds like a good idea.

LW is a totally different arena and style of game play.  I started out just trying to stay up as long as i could before getting picked....  I still will usually fight till im outa amo or die, landing is over rated.  MW used to be more about using skill and style taking bases.  Point in example: I logged on to the usual, for me anyway, 17 nits ( almost all VF15 ) 3 bish and 7 rooks.  Went to the tower of a  base that was flashing to find 2 sets of NIT lancs had taken all the hangers down along with 3 heavy fighters a panzer from their field and a goon.  In total it took 7 nits to take a Vbase that before i logged on could have only had 2 defenders and they felt the need to take all the hangers down?  Now maybe the bish should take that as a compliment, i mean maybe the nits can only take a base if it can't be defended?  I played in MW because I enjoyed the use of tactics and style to take bases not the bomb all the hangers down so no one can defend or vulch the runway so the 2 guys that are there to defend cant take off against the 13 guys trying to take the base.  Numbers like that might as well go to LW, which is what ive been doing.
