You would have loved it back in the SVGA AW days Jug. An arena setup just for this. Sabers vs Migs and everyone blacking out. Once in a while you'd be able to devolve into a turn fight.. gawd that was fun!

1944-1964 "guns only" jet arena

I think WW1 - WW2 - Korea

should be AH2s dominion. And that it should be a fully pimped out Flight sim for us morons to blast eachother to pieces.

no missiles. But a Mig-15 and Sabre fight would be fun.

i wonder. would they be Chinese markings on the MiG 15s or soviet red stars on them? even though some MIGs were flown by ruskies, and weren't they  Chinese MiG 15s or russian MiG 15s?

In the old FA we had a Korean war room with sabers,migs,vampires the B29 and every jet fighter that was flying in the Korean war era. It was a blast the maps were of Korea and had capture of bases like in the MA arenas.

Korea would be fun. I played Korean arena in Air Warrior fairly often, I wasn't a perma player but played enough so that my name was known there by most of the regulars. Loved the Mig-15.

  The was a Korean type arena in the old Air Warrior game. As fond as everyones memory of it is, it was NOT a popular arena at all. I suspect a jet, Korean, or Vietnam arena here would get just about as much use as our WW1 arena does.

Few people flew in the Korean War arena in AW,and it would be the same in AH.I say put the effort into the LW arena,as that's where most people fly.

[rpm]

The AW Korea arena ALWAYS had someone in it, unlike AH's WW1 arena where you're lucky to find anyone to fight.

I'd stay camped out in the dang thing if we had one. F-86 is one of the most fun planes to fly that there is. Basic controls with power assist, high thrust, turns like a spit with rocket thrusters and has a radar gunsight. What's not to love?

MiG, on the other hand, was like trying to fly a refrigerator (with Force Feedback) because their flight controls were manual. It would turn, just not at top speed or in an extended turn.

What about f4s, corsair IIs, f105s, f100s, all had kills air to air against MIG-17s, MIG-19s, and MIG-21s there was plenty of air combat in Vietnam.  It wasn't just the occasional f4 vs MIG-21.  In fact MIG-21s hardly ever would dogfight or get close to American fighters as they were to expensive to lose.  MIG-21s would fire their missiles fro ma distance and leave letting the older slower and more maneuverable MIG-17s and 19s to fight the American fighters up close.

You miss my point. Yes there were kills of enemy planes by the aircraft you mention, but they were relatively few in number, compared to the Korean conflict. My post was not to say that I felt a Vietnam arena would go unused, but like the WWI arena, it might not get used as much as some would like. IMHO, Wings Over Vietnam would have made an excellent MMO, if it had gone that way. But that's perhaps another topic for discussion. A Korean arena might be an absolute blast at first, but it's use might die off as well. People do tend to become bored easy it seems. All in all, maybe a Vietnam arena's just what we need. Bombing missions, dogfights, SAM suppression, fighter bomber missions and many other aspects of that conflict. Could be an awful lot of fun!
