If planes were added that filled in the gaps of the early and mid war plane sets you would see an increase in the population for both arenas.
ack-ack
there was a time when ew was fairly popular.
it seemed that every night going in there, there were between 40 and 60 pile-its in there.
then came a base rolling squad. we used to try to fight against them a lot. it didn't happen. they'd run to an undefended base, and repeat.....we'd move there, they'd run to another. they'd sometimes even start attacking another country, so we couldn't defend, unless we switched sides.....
we moved out of that arena into mw. it was pretty popular. more pile-its than ew had. good fights to be had everywhere.
then came a base rolling squad. they're better than the ew rolling squad though, as they often times will fight. the problem with this one, is that they become the mw version of a horde. i know, because i used to be in that squad. i'd come flying to the fight, and see 6 or 7 friendlies on 1 red guy. i know that couldn't have been fun for the red guy, and i for the life of me can't understand how it was fun for all 7 of the friendlies.
now that i'm not in that squad anymore(and i do like quite a few of their members), i'm on the other side of htat horde. when they're going for the capture, many of them will take pretty much every cheap shot in the book. often when they have you outnumbered, and have no need to do so.
these same ones will also whine, cry, and complain when the tables turn. again.........this takes the fun out of it, as they grieve defenders. many members of that squad are cool people, and great to fight with/against.
i think this is what killed ew, rather than the plane set.....and i think this is what is killing mw, rather than the plane set.
