Yep... I contemplated upping ye olde postcount, but chose not to.

Something has changed with people vs the RPS.  From what I can gather listening to the geezers talk, there was a (brief?) period when the AvA style arena was where it was at in WB, and then for whatever reason, it died off and has not worked in a game since.

Anytime it gets brought up, all I've ever seen is, "Guys!  It'll be different this time!  Really!  No seriously!  My RPS is different and better!  Really!"

"Stop laughing guys!"

Proof of concept would be running a custom arena that outgrew itself consistently.  Odd that it hasn't happened yet.

1.   WWII condensed into a tour long war with a starting date of september 1939.



2.   Introduce a Rolling planeset in which planes become available when the date of the arena matches the date of the first known missions of said plane.


You run historic scenarios according to arena date by simply changing to the scenario terrain and picking the planeset for the duration of the event.

Once map is won after the scenario terrain, the terrain random generator goes back to work and the rolling planeset picks up where it left off.

This would require very little administration other than running the historic events within the arena and setting it back on "auto".............which is the job of whoever is running the event.

"Events" don't have to occur unless someone wants to run one and, since history of WWII is already known, it is easy to divine when a event scenario will occur within the timeline.

All you have to do post a list of events in the forum.........the dates are known.

Sorry, you don't get to chose what I address simply because you don't like the answer.

It's that simple.

sounds good and fun. How could you please do that then? would be good for everyone

Also where is that "all fronts of war" map? that would be awesome if someone is workin' on it.

This is how I remember it, this coming from a guy that was in The Dweebs of Death squad.    The RPS was supposed to be the best thing ever and was talked up long and loud in the forums.  It started off great, like most things that are new and shinny.  After a while the Axis folk realized they were being ground into dust by the end of the rotation and said so.  The Allied folk said suck it up and fly better.   The last week of the rotation when all the late war birds were available was the only time the arena was full. 

Take it for what its worth, a 10 year old memory from a geezer.

Therein lies the rub. Everyone wants to fly their Late War hotrods with lots of cannons. If they can't get them, they won't come in. So, the first 3/4 of your RPS schedule will be virtually empty. (Which is why Early War and Mid War are lacking in numbers. It's not the skill level of the people, it's the lack of Late War hotrods that go 500Mph and have big cannons).
