lol One arena setup like it is..... and one arena with no perks no caps no rules.

haha then folks would talk with their actions instead of their mouths.

My bet is the arena with perks, setup like it is now, would end up being the LW Main. It would serve to confirm HiTech's direction chosen.

Next week ,December 9th, 2010, i will be running JET WEEK in the AVA. only jets will be available, they will be unperked, or free, so that anyone can fly them. lets see how a jet filled arena works out!

I dont do much with "the war" except defend a base or two occassionally. This would ruin Furballing in the LW MA as planes that are late war, but not perked, would never see use and become the biggest set of hangar queens as everyone would be in 262s. I say a big NO to this.

I think it's a good idea.


Even if all the jets are free, there would still be plenty of folks that would fly their ride of choice.  Lot's of guys have thousands of fighter perks, but never use them.

Y'ever been on a cattle farm?  Lets just call HT "The Rancher" and we are "The Cattle".

Now dont get me wrong...there are bound to be some smart cattle in the herd, but by and large we depend on the rancher.  Be good to him because he feeds us and keeps us warm  :cool:

Hey 80th, go to the DA.

LOL this isn't about the 80th Grizz.

In all honesty, I've come to the conclusion that I can find fun however the game is set up.  If anything you've been the one to convince me that I need to think outside my little world.

I want folks to enjoy the game.  Why not give them what they want?  No cap, fly what you want, revert to old capture and reset methods and have at it.

Why is this such a bad idea?  

You'll never find me in a jet.  I'll still be staggering around in my 38G, down low, with an engine out or smoking.  Nothing has changed for me and it won't.  What I hear is squads have been ruined and everyone is leaving because the game has been wrecked by caps, Eny, and making base capture too hard.

I'm a convert now and I mean it.  Give them what they want and see what happens.  I'll be fine no matter what.  It's not about me.  I'm trying to look at the bigger picture.

Funny part is no one has given me a reason that my suggestion is bad.

try this sometime. get so aggressive in a 262 in the MA that youre rolling scissors with a 51 :t somehow i got 5 kills out of my low alt attack and the entire time it was a dogfight which i was roping 51s and spits, turning with a 51 and alot more that many wouldn't dare do. did it just for fun and it was much more successful than i thought it would be :rofl

fun times go to the perk spenders that do it for that one moment of fun :aok landed the kills for the sortie too

everything i do is for fun. i've de-acked and landed at enemy bases, formation take offs with the enemy, bravely ran away from lancs....in a c47, then turned with them, as my ack shot the poop outta them......

 i might jump in on dichodogs idea of a jeep raid to take a vbase too.  :devil

262 are killers if you know how to fly it. I'd probably wrack up 10+ kill per every 30 min sorty easy w/ that thing.

I want folks to enjoy the game.  Why not give them what they want?  No cap, fly what you want, revert to old capture and reset methods and have at it.

First off, who is "THEY"?

"THEY" want no perked aircraft and no eny?  "THEY" want old capture and reset methods?

Just because a random tard cries about something doesn't mean the entire population of the war enthusiasts feels the same.  I think the vast majority of the players want a great balance between air combat, war strategy, and different choices on how to have fun.  That doesn't mean doing what you suggest.  Your idea is tongue in cheek, but it shows your lack of understanding on what makes for a happy cartoon world.

 It seems to me what you really want from this game is in furball lake.  No war, quick trips to the fight, constant furballing on the deck.  Maybe I'm wrong though?  If you enjoy defending bases, battling players that are trying to capture bases, hunting bombers, intercepting missions, stomping NOE's, etc, then you HAVE to have a war element to the game where the players engaging in that mode (and providing lots of fun for you as well) are immersed in what they are doing and can accomplish goals in a reasonable amount of the time with a reasonable amount of comrades, consistently.  Do you comprehend?
