You're saying that next to our little fenced in dogfighting playground is an area for people to fly to a strat untouched, bomb it, fly back and then get their name in lights for bomber damage when other people are sweating it out fighting in the trees against DR1's?
Raven,
Sorry, I think I might not have been clear.
I am suggesting 2 separate arenas.
The dogfight-only arena is the one we have now. It would remain unchanged. Keep it EXACTLY the way it is now. Fine-and-dandy.
Next to it on the arena list a player can select "WWI MA".
A separate arena.
Bases that CAN be attacked with Gotha bombers and fighters with 2x20lbs bombs. Hangars that CAN be destroyed.
Factories behind the lines to be bombed to reduce supplies for rebuild.
Observation ballon networks (like radar) that can be destroyed to open gaps in the enemy dar.
Maybe some WWI tanks that can spawn in no-mans-land to duke it out.
Observation planes that if are able to loiter in area long enough brings in artillery strikes to bases and strat targets.
Zepplins behind the lines that function like country dar.
Observation planes get escorted. SPADS scramble to intercept bombers and observ planes. There will be plenty of furballs generated from all this activity. Only at different alts. Different plane mixed depending on mission type. Action. Variety.
etc, etc.
The possibllities are endless.
Goal-Oriented-Combat.
Put that up next to the dogfight-only arena and let the marketplace decide which is the prefered format.
Regards,
Wab
