Question for HTC: any plans to upgrade the WWI arena?

[Citabria]

I like this arena a lot and the ww1 planes offer about as much turn and burn as quickly as possible. it is the first place I look when I want to dogfight in a place where no ones first thought is to run away or join a horde. the general attitude of the small following is they want to dogfight and most prefer to 1v1 or 2v2. switching to balance the sides is also pretty standard in there.

but when the population hits 0 theres nothing to do while waiting for a fight to start and numbers to build.

it lacks the depth and the total war aspect of the MA with no ground war or bombing or capture mechanics.

the general view of the players is the arena was a proof of concept that has been abandoned when it wasn't able to attract a steady 24/7 crowd.

Is there any plans to develop this arena that can be shared?

it dosn't even have to be somthing you have planned. resources are alocated to give the most bang for the buck we all understand that and know the late War MA is the prime zone of the game.

but what would you like to see happen with the ww1 arena in the long run in the most general sense of what would increase its fun factor? new game mechanics? more planes? ground vehicles? blimps, balloons? capture mechanics or strat? etc.

Super Fokker

and that is about it, WWI sadly does not appeal to me although I love a turn fight. There is no verticle fighting, no flaps, virtually unlimited ammo/ fuel due to the small amount of ammo it takes to kill another plane, and the short distance between fields. It is just not my thing unfortunately, I would much rather see Main Arena improvements, but that of course is just my opinion, to those of you who love WWI with a passion however, more power to you

a couple more planes *cough* SPAD *cough* would be a start

 This is only my opinion but I don't see HTC wasting more resources on the WWI arena. I tried FlyBoys and  Rise of Flight WWI games and got bored with them pretty fast. At least in Rise of Flight there are correct speed and clime differences in plane models that can be used to your advantage. To me all our planes are target drones for the Fokker triplane. I myself would rather see attention and resources going to the MA.

Would hate to see any additional resourses put into the WWI arena.  I never used it, I have no plans to use it in the future.  From the numberss that I see when I log in, neither does anyone else.  Please use any R&D resourses to improve game play in the areans.

I'd prefer they spend their time on the WWII arenas that we all came here for.

I love the WWI arena, but like Citabria said, sometimes one can't find even another soul in the arena, let alone a good dozen or more. It is a great break from the ordinary and most people in that arena have a desire to fight on a somewhat level playing field. Infact, everything Citabria said is spot on. I do hope they do some work to it to make it a little more appealing, I just hope any changes don't alter how the players in there conduct themselves.

As for the Triplanes dominating... Not really. It's truly about the pilot and aim. Get into a 2v2 and it's even more apparent.

My post from less than a week ago that no one responded to:

I logged in today and noticed there were about 6 people in the WWI arena.  Went to the LWA which didn't look like much fun so jumped into WWI.  It was a blast but I only had time for a couple of sorites.

Logged back on late tonight for an hour of flying thinking WWI would be a ghost town but there were 10-11 guys in there.

That arena is just too much fun!  I got so excited I broke the trigger on my AV8R and had to switch to my back-up ST290.  I wish more people would play there more often.

HT please do not forget that arena.  A little more development and I think it would be in constant use.  Today was like rediscovering my excitement for the game.

Sopwith Camel Rules!

BTW they remodeled the DR-1 so it's no longer the only plane used.  That day above in the arena I only saw one DR-1.

I'd like to at least see a Spad and a Neuport added.  How can you forget the French in WWI?
