Is a Spitfire an EZ mode ride when it fights another Spitfire?

Limiting players based on score assumes that everyone tries to get their best score which simply isn't true.



Depends on the Spit, and if it's perkied!


I miss the old MA, the split LW, is crap! Yeah, I know why they did it, it's still CRAP! :bhead

Here's the change you didn't see.

We have changed the % of players needed from 70% to 80% to raise the cap on the opposite arena.

It did exactly the opposite - now it takes even longer for the larger arena to open again and for you to get together with your squad. Sure it helps the smaller arena to fill up faster but since your friends are on the other side you couldn't care less.

Which I believe is the point.


but since your friends are on the other side you couldn't care less.

 :cry  if flying with the squad is important to the squad, it shouldn't matter where they fly.  Ask them to come to the other arena (which would help boost the numbers too).

LOL! Yeah ask YOUR squad all 10-20 persons to stop what they're doing and change to the smaller, dead arena because of one player can't get in. It will not happen and I wouldn't even ask such a thing from them.

I guess if the game effectively blocks squads from operating from now on, the message from the developers is to stop interacting as squads and go back to individual gameplay. Shame, I was a lone gun for years and now that I started to dig the squad thing, I'm blocked from the server.

Asking people to leave a good fight and come to arena where there is no fight is not a solution. I would think at some point you guys might notice this debate covers the same things over and over and over.

My squad will change arenas for one player. If it's a smaller dead arena it will perk up after we get there.

That's awesome. Now we only need 10 other squads like yours and the smaller side is always populated straight from the start!

We seem to lack those however.

If you talk your squad into it we only need 9 more.  :D

I don't run my squad so you'll have to talk to dhyran about it. Give it a shot I don't mind.

I actually don't mind if your squad won't switch.  :D

Is it possible to redoe the new cockpit in the A6M5B where the cowl guns will not obscure the gauges and make the load out numbers easier to read.
