has it really gotten to the point where there are less than 25 people on per side...but guys would rather sit in cv guns off the coast of their own base...as they lose the base....to shoot at cons coming in than actually up and fight them?

If that wasnt bad enough, the cv guns hit the fighter plane flying 300+ (400+ in one case) >10k away as it is turning and removes a wing...but cant hit a set of buffs flying directly over it?


 
I can not put my thoughts into words right now...

this isn't a new thing sadly

it's so difficult to get a fight (not a furball...I mean any kind of plane vs plane combat) during low pop hours - which happen to be my prime time - that I only log in and fly at the weekend

Late War, as

would not be anything notable in MW.

Been like that for a few years now evenings Aus,NZ timezone.  Take away those in GV's and I doubt there is more than a dozen fighters up per country.

Maybe folks have not tried the Seafire.  Cv time is a good change of pace for me. A super turner with canons off a CV is unsuspected sometimes.

I wonder if the difficulty taking off from a CV when it is doing hard turns is a downer for folks?  It happens a lot as they avoid the bombers.

No, the thing described in the opening post has nothing to do with that.
It's rather a pure gameplay issue happening when the number of players in the arena is getting too low. The larger the map, the easier this point is being reached

    HTC needs some advertising in those time zones perhaps. We in the states enjoyed 350 or so in LW last night.

   Perhaps some advertising in locations often veiwed by those down under ....................

Or somehow force the players to play in the same area of the map

The "somehow" is the tricky thing  

It actually had been tried in the past, but no working solution came up yet.

I find 5v1 every night all night long sir

Low population triggered air starts? If when numbers got low you had one airspawn that converged like tank town does for gvs I think you would see more fighting.

Players would still have to chose to use it. Which they possibly won't do that much after the 'new' wears off

I think the problem killnu describes are the guys who would rather jump into an 88, soft gun or GV before upping, dare I say it, an aircraft in ACES HIGH!

Myriad of reasons why but my top one would be pure laziness.

It is getting pretty lame. 220 people online and hard to find a fight larger than 2v2.  Maybe we need smaller maps.
