What would jets do to ah ?

[doomed]

I see alot of people that ask for Korean war settings or Vietnam plane sets and i for one would love either but what would happen to all the other arenas?  Would everyone just play that arena all day and the rest die or would it just be like the WW1 arena and be a fad or something else? Maybe on TT Tuesday you could have the alt Korea map too or something.

Just curious what everyone thinks and if they think we will ever have the jet age maps.

It would look like the WWI arena after the novelty wore off.

[Pigslilspaz]

My thought is that it would be like WWI because there would basically be no set goal.

We did get into World War 1, so going into the Korean War is a good possibility.  I wouldn't go any farther than that though.

The reason the WW1 arena is "dead" is there isn't a goal to be had there, with the exception of furballing.  Toss in bombers, things to destroy and capture and various other things, then you would probably see more people in it.  I would guess that it would be like Mid War in terms of numbers though.  The Korean War Arena would likely have more numbers than Mid War on a daily bases unless you made it like current WW1 arena.  Then it would have the same, if not more, people in it than the WW1 arena, but not enough to get out of the label of being "dead".

Don't let the numbers fool you. There's a small but solid player base in the WW1 arena, they are all good sticks and a fine group of gents to boot, a pleasure to fly with or against. I don't think I've seen any sort of argument in there for months. The numbers are slowly increasing as more people drop in for a look and are blown away by the friendly relaxed atmosphere, challenging combat the equal of any arena and unique early aviation flavour. The AH team did a fantastic job putting the WW1 arena together for us, it's a shame that the majority of the player base hasn't caught on yet what a little gem they've been gifted. No extra fees and you now have the option of going back another 20 odd years to experience a taste of the birth of aerial combat. The arena has it's shortfalls but who or what doesn't? If you see yourself as here for the WW2 action as most do you might want to think about unwinding after a busy night or sharpening up before a serious session flying the ragwings, who knows you might even learn something useful for your hardwing exploits

agreed tusk and if i didnt have the 20th FG to deal with id be in there more often also

does anyone else wish that they had a me262,ar234,and 163 section in the dueling arena? would be fun to have whenever you got that "jet vs jet" itch.

and also put an altitude cap over that section of the arena, so noone can fly the jets out to the other furball arena.

because theyd bring the jets to furball lake like they do now with Ar234s and bombers. No use dealing with screaming 262s also in there

couldnt an altitude cap be put over there section of the arena? imagine a section like what the furball is, just instead of being "lifted" like the rest of the arena is, make it at 0k, then put a 10k alt cap on that section. therefore they couldnt escape..


...and do the things you do in that 234 and i do in my b17s,bar.

cant set a hard cap iirc. has to be soft and soft caps can be broken with enough time

darn. in the 5 years ive played this game, ive never flown a me262 in the main arenas 
hard to earn fighter points going up against some of the best sticks in the game,with just a mouse.

5 years? ive only noticed you within these last 4 months?


that and your name doesnt hit in the database further back than a few tours

[Tyrannis]

5 years? ive only noticed you within this last one

first 2 years were spent in 8 player, then had to play offline for a yr and a half due to a computer crash.didnt sign back up for online till late 2008.

you most likely didnt see me around because i mostly flew in early/mid war. late war with its players that use sticks/peddles/etc can be deathtraps for simple mouse/keyboard flyers 


the first name i ever had was mgp.

AVA ran a 'Jet Week' a few weeks ago on a Korean map by US Ranger.  It was lots of fun.  It will probably be run again in the future.  We had free 262's and AR234's and the map is nothing short of AWESOME.
