Planeset Change for the Better!
« on: February 02, 2011, 10:50:11 AM »
     The Mid War and Early War arenas are limited in plane options, and thus, few play there.  In order to fill them more reliably, a new division of plane options should be put into place.  The Early War Arena will remain unchanged, but the New Mid-War Arena planeset will be Current Midwar Planeset - Current Early War Planeset.  The New Late War planeset will be Current LW Planeset- Current MW planeset.

     If instituted, those who wish to fly midwar birds will fly in the midwar arena, those who love the EW will recieve the status quo, but the LW will be stripped of its hangar queens (Early Bf-110s, A-20s, P-51Bs, etc.).  However, the MW will become more interesting due to its exclusive use of mid-set planes.  The EW will become more interesting as well, since the early P-Series models will only be found there.  This leads to the next point.

     The LW arena has become overburdened by those who love mid and early war planes, but also enjoy some company.  If instituted, they will move the the MW and EW Arenas, and the LW will flourish once again.  When there are more than one or two people in the EW Arena, it will recover as well.  Furthermore, more realistic plane matchups will be found- no more getting picked off by a higher model plane, but still being able to organize a horde *cough* mission. 

     Imagine the LW being used in its proper role, and the EW and MW erupting into the as-advertised 24/7 slugmatch that is Aces High.  Imagine Mid-War birds being found in hordes, not as lost sheep.  See the Wildcat zoom again through the mist, a Zeke hot on its tail!  View the fruits of the R&D laborers in the LW, and see where it all began in the EW.  All this, with a change of a planeset.

No offense but I do not see how any of this matters as long as spitfires fight against corsairs or 109's vs 190's anyway.

Penguin-sounds like you would enjoy scenerios and FSO's have you tried those yet? or maybe even the AVA, this has a plane set that you may be looking for, except in the AvA there are no nme icons...... HTC will not make the mains like that,  I do think its cool kinda a what if type thing.....take it easy bud.

Plane   Kills    Deaths         Kill/Death Ratio
A-20G 6590    4081                  1.61
P-51B 4777    4884                   0.98

Hardly hanger queens.  Besides, many of us enjoy flying EW aircraft in the LWs.

when considered as a total number of kills a20 is a hangar queen.  you will mostly see it bombing gv's, surprised it doesnt have a higher kill/death.  I go days when the only a20 i see is when i select the b26 to go bomb something.  p51b you might see them flying around a bit more.

   The New Late War planeset will be Current LW Planeset- Current MW planeset.
but the LW will be stripped of its hangar queens (Early Bf-110s, A-20s, P-51Bs, etc.).

     The LW arena has become overburdened by those who love mid and early war planes, but also enjoy some company.

looks like you want to force people to fly in the mid-war arena if they want to fly a certain number of planes.  but to be honest if they remove those planes from the lw, they will just choose a different plane to fight and stay in the lw. ew and mw cant compete with lw because there's a better selection of performance planes for both noobs and experienced players.  which is to say that in ew and mw the new players are easily defeated so why bother going there when you can have a better plane in lw that you can learn to fly with.

I don't believe the late war arena is over-burdened. I see no reason to prevent people from fighting against late war aircraft with early war aircraft.

This "Hanger Queen" ranked between the P-38J and Spit IX in kills last LW tour.  Spit IX a hanger queen too?

The first week of the split had no overlap in planes.  LW was just LW, MW was just MW.  It was short lived.

I like the way it is now too.

Don't worry, the comments make no difference. What matters is if HTC thinks your idea will improve Aces High.
