Mig Alley Korean War Arena

fact a pair of planes won't make an arena.....

Nope, a pair of planes won't make an arena, but they will make a dogfight.


It's only two closely modeled jet fighters, after all.


Big arse deal if HTC decides to throw out a couple Korean models after the HE-111 and Beufighter.

(In the meantime, they could slow the darn troops down.)

would you play in a ww1 arena if you could capture bases?

yes but thats not the point the WWI arena is dead because there is no base capture or tanks or blimps or bombers

korean war would be better as it favors to all the LW players with all the late war rides

no it wouldn't and no it doesn't...all you would have is a 2 sided jet dogfight arena, that's it. after a couple of weeks when the "new" wore off, it would be nothing but squeakers bouncing around ho'ing each other in f-86's.

you need to take a closer look at all of the elements that bring the population into the late war arena, then do better research on all of the aspects of the korean war and how every aspect would work in a game where there are 3 sides, not just 2. the n.koreans didn't roll in with divisions of soviet made armor, or attempt to gain the level of air superiority that the 3rd reich did.

-1 No new arenas while the CV still motorboats back and forth within sight of the shoreline, 
Just too much stuff still needed in the regular arenas..

And the NoKos DID come rolling south with plenty of Soviet made Tanks..
Summer of 1950, opening move of the war.. No way for the Occupation
troops from Japan to stop them.. Crushed everything in their way.. Withdrawing
into the Perimeter at Pusan, behind a river, blowing the bridges, under an umbrella
of concentrated Arty fire, naval gunfire, and 24/7 Airstrikes from USN carriers, and
USAF from Okinawa, was the only thing that prevented a total defeat!

Still, the NoKos managed to make several river crossings, and had to be driven back
into the water, wiped out in hand to hand fighting... They were and are, no pushovers..

I think that there are many things that need to be fixed/upgraded before we get another arena. Still a good idea though.

If you want Jet vs Jet in here, I would rather see them bring in a perked Meteor or P-80A.  I also think that a Korean War arena would see very little use.  HTC would be better off spending their time improving and modernizing the WW2 arenas and aircraft.
