Korean War Arena?

[lilsquid]

So Fella's F86 vs Mig 15... I think a Korean War Arena Would be outstanding!!! I mean honestly Korea was the last "Dogfights" of the jet age now adays we have missles that kill the plane at 10 miles... (Might be an overstatement) These were the last of the greatest dogfights.... WE NEED A MIG ALLEY!!! Shall we start a poll? and kinda off subject in my mind a Vietnam Arena would not be good because you would be going to fast for dogfighting, and missles.... Please no skill we need to keep it conventional turnfighting!! Mig alley would fit right in and Frankly you would not get me out of a F-86 Sabre!!!  



Dont comment on the photo lol just advertising lol

Lets see what we can do HiTech

I remember the Korean war arena in air warrior on dial up.  My problem then as it still is now, is my connection is spotty. If I can't hit Brewsters going 250, how the hell am I hitting a mig going 600. The other thing I recall was always being in a near state of blackout. Could be because I was still in my 20s and drank cheap beer.  Not sure. Anyway, it could bring in some neat prop planes such as the sea fury, but in the end it might just end up being as popular as WWI.

I dunno I think I'd be much more interested in a Korean War arena than WWI.  We'd still have the Corsair, Mustang (and Twin-Mustang - how cool is that?) and added jets like the Mig-15, Sabre, F9F Panther for CV ops, F-84 Thunderjet and F-80 Shooting Star.  The British I believe use the Gloster Meteor and the Hawker Sea Fury.   The B-29 and and A-26 were also used.

Not sure what else was on the North Korean side though - La-9 maybe?

Helicopters for downed pilot pickup might be cool.

I think WWI arena proved you need to have more than just a handful of planes that can dogfight only though.  To make the arena interesting you gotta have different mission types - strategic bombing, interdiction, interception, ground support, etc. 

With such a limited staff though I'd prefer HTC continue to update graphics on its older models and introduce more Japanese fighters, and continue to improve strategy aspects of gameplay.

How many places are you going to post this? Do a search. This has been hashed out many times. Basically your asking for a new wwi arena. Have you been in there lately? Pretty quite ain't it.

[Vudu15]

your quite right sir......it is very quiet in there.

[AKP]

Except for the crickets.... they are so loud in WW1 you can hear them all the way into EW... which is also quiet.

[Rich52]

Well it couldnt draw worse then WW-1 does.

[Dragunov]

I don't think it would be quiet if AH went all out and added a good majority of Korean War Fighters, bombers, tanks ect..

the gulf war had dogfighting...what the hell are you talking about?

[Easyscor]

You can always host a custom arena and sub 262s for both sides, the korea terrain exists. If it becomes so popular it spawns more then one arena, then you'll have some backup for your plane wish, but I'd be surprised if you can fill a single custom arena.

Just saying.

rinse wash repeat... how many times have we been over this?

the developers already have the f86 sabre modelled and the mig too i think...saw that with the pictures with shark and claws... anyone care to share the link with them? so the developers already know about this.. its after all dependent on them...

good to remind them..

firing guided munitions at other aircraft isn't exactly dogfighting, but it is easier.

It depends on the ROE whether you need visual confirmation of bogey. Big difference between firing an AMRAAM at a radar dot 20 miles away, and firing cannons in a knife fight.  Radar, ID, and missle improvements pretty much slid engagements more toward the BVR-type rather than true close-in dogfights that happened in WWII.
