Korean war arena

[Tracerfi]

You'd probably be better off asking for an early jets arena.

In an ideal world a Korean war arena you'd have a two country set up with all the late props and Korean era jets with folks being actually willing to fly the prop fighter bombers and straight wing jets.  Where Karnak is correct is that all it would be is a Sabre arena with the occasional Mig 15.

Considering the variety of airplanes that could be used, makes it fun in theory, but I'm afraid the reality would be far different considering the majority of players in AH.

My whole point of this thread was for a extension of AH. Do you get it now I was saying it as i know it would not happen for years probably

Understood, but as it is a public forum we're all allowed to critique your suggestion and point out things we think are flaws.  You can offer a rebuttal, but just saying "I was just making a suggestion!" doesn't change anybody's mind about your suggestion.  The people who liked it will still like it and the people who didn't like it still won't like it.

True Very True

it wont get used.  just like it didnt get used in aw. semp

What was the plane set in AW?

[HighTone]

     Gotta realize that Karnak has a serious hate on for anything with a white star on the side 

BS....I have never know him to just hate something. Like any person that's not blind he can see what plane sets we are heavy on and which plane sets are lacking. So he advocates for the country's that are lacking.

And I feel he is very correct on how Korean war arena would turn out. Everything that isn't a Misstang in the MA is considered a Hanger Queen now anyways. But all of a sudden if we get the Korean war arena everyone swears they will take 51s and Yaks against jets. These same folks wouldn't take a P39 in the MA now because it's not über enough....but that would change right?

No thanks to the F-86 arena.

  It is a good idea for the Korean theater, but, to make it work, you would have to choose to be U.N, N. Korean, Chinese, or Russian! Then you would have to use the aircraft which were available to those countries! Be sure to include a "night time" arena for those of us who never flew missions during the day! (don't ever see Hi Tech doing this, cost to much).

Korean war arena is pretty much the lowest thing on the priority list. Really, it should even come after GV's like the Panzer I, Humbler armored car, and even after things like Davidwales' Pfeil.

Seems a bit extreme

For a tanker it would be an interesting arena considering the combatants and the terrain.  I don't think there was a single dominating tank in Korea.  I'd imagine the fighting would be that much tougher actually.

And it would be a serious TAC air war too over the tanks. That's of course if you could get anyone to fly the straight wing jets, IL-10s, Skyraiders, Corsairs, Mustangs, Firefly's Lagg 9, LA9 Yaks etc.  All those A26 guys could make a good case for those in there too.

Again, as Karnak has pointed out, the issue would be that folks would only fly Sabres and all the other stuff would get unused.  But it's not an evil rotten idea even if the Luftwaffe and German tanks aren't involved.

perk the F-86, problem fixed

That rather removes the whole point to it being a Korea arena.  Further, the MiG-15 would then need to be perked as it would utterly dominate everything else.

[Tank-Ace]

M26 and the M46 dominated the hell out of the fight!


Was pretty much T-34/85's getting their arses handed to them once the first Pershing arrived on the pinnsula.

And in any special event, Tiger I's would be used as pershings untill we got an actual M26.



But any way, once we have EVERYTHING That was used in WWII and WWI, and HTC is just fiddly-farting around, and HiTech's saying "I don't know guys, do you think we should add the nuke?", THATS when we can get the Korean arena that will be used even less than the WWI arena.

Korean ground was not suitable for tanks, same with Vietnam - sure they "operated" but no where on the scale of WWII. There would be no point in adding GV's in a korean theater. Frankly there is no match up, unless you wanted to strictly use T34/85s and M4(76s).

I am rather against the Korean arena simply because there is plenty to be added to the WW2 Late war arena, which including FSO is the main reason Aces High is still here. Problem is lack of resources, HTC simply cannot crank out 2-3 planes per month otherwise I would advocate
filling out the WW1 arena first, and having a proper map setup.

Much as I have interest in ground vehicles, I believe it needs to stay on the lower end of the priority of Aces High for now, above the WW1 arena and far above a korean theater. Still dozens of aircrafts where only a handful of ground vehicles need to be added, half a dozen aircrafts need better then aH1 graphics as well.

Not suggesting it be a top of the list bit even remotely. 

We did a Korea Scenario in Airwarrior and I have good memories of flying an 18th FBW F-51D with Migs about and having them auger trying to attack us on the deck.  The plane mix is interesting for those who'd actually fly something beyond Sabres and Migs as would be the challenges.

Besides us how many are going to rise to that challenge? Not many.... Given the sorties everyone would be in a M15 or Sabre, I would probably be the village idiot trying to chase a Mig15 with some WW2 issued prop plane

[Tank-Ace]

Can we all agree that it's below filling in ALL holes in the WWII arenas with reasonable coverage, and finishing the WWI arena up a bit more?



Because if we can, then we can also get rid of this thread, as HTC is well aware of the fact that some people want the Korean war arena. And once you've said that it would let us add some new stuff, you've exhausted all of its positive virtues.
