Now for my next trick

[captain1ma]

ok guys, i was thinking again..........

next setup/AVA challenge

larger map, only 1 base available to take off from for allies
Allies: all bombers available. P51s, p47, p38's for escorts
Axis: 109's, 110's 190's, 262's at a back base.

Target 1 axis Base or town. 1 allied base with spawn to take it. one axis base nearby to defend it!

axis airbase nearby, if not next to the town.

objective-
Allies:  bombers are only allowed to bomb the town! if you hit base, i will reset all objects at base!
fighters are allowed to defend bombers and attack Axis airbase
take the town, capture base

Axis: hold off attack save town and base!

this would be a 1 hour event with side switching and then restart for another hour.

please give your thoughts on this idea!

I like the concept.  Just hope the group sticks around to give both attacking and defending a go.

How about TA-152s instead of the jets?

[captain1ma]

how about both!

[Puma44]

Jets!  Did someone say jets? The only problem I can see is, will anyone want to fly allies.........unless jets are enabled for allies also.   

[captain1ma]

well, im not sure how it will play out, when i finish, i might just leave them out. the idea is to get people to use heavy bombers and try to take the town. the other side should be defending.

besides ill probably have another jet week sometime right before christmas.

this may be a good excuse to learn the manual calibration.

Please not the jets on this one...it's a good idea with a turd in it.

I think i have to agree. i think they may just drag griefers in..........but if they are used, and i make it, i'll still find a way to have fun./

[captain1ma]

realistically, they were used, albeit rarely, at the end of the war. if they are used they will be at back bases. right now, im still planning the setup.

the last time i used jets, it was nothing less then a blast. try to keep an open mind. maybe they shouldn't be mixed, but we do have them on occasion. that's what makes this arena fun.

I concur with Puma.

Jets are cool, but who wants to be on the receiving end of picks all night? 

Plus, for me, the appeal of the AvA is that it is not filled with uber planes.  Then again, maybe uber planes will get more people into the arena.

Still, thumbs down on too many LW birds.

262's aren't much of a match when you have 3 b17s and know how to use them

Consider no enemy icons.

[CAP1]

i'd like to think that in here, the 262 drivers won't be doing much picking.

 from what i've seen with the advancement of this arena, possibly we should listen to the guy that revived it, and see what happens. i mean, what's the worst that can happen?

 on that note, we could consider no icons whatsoever for that night, and kill shooter off.....so now if they ARE going to try n pick, they stand a good chance of shooting down a friendly.

 i'm a biach, ain't i?

I like how you're thinking, CAP.  It would be like, like......the real world, and real air combat, don't screw up or it's your buddy's backside (or bacon for some of our worthy opponents).
