The problem with the ww1 arena is it doesnt really have any appeal other than to get as high in the rankings as possible,to achieve a respectable rank you practice often and most importantly fly the all conquering DR1, then appear in the arena on the last few days of tour to bag a few newbs and become a hero.
Theres got to be something better than this.
To add a little more interest in scores and variation of the planes flown by pilots in the arena I propose that each pilot be ranked in individual aircraft and not overall as at present.eg,
WW1 arena Tour 12
DR1 winner/ Ehre/ runner up/ iwlf
F1 camel winner/SCTusk/runner up/Sid................and so on.
The other main problem is the current score system gives no reward to the few regular players and everything to the gold diggers who hi-jack the arena in the last days of a tour.
<S> ALL.
and some new planes would be nice.
