Are you short on time? How about A2A Quick-action Arena?

[Perrine]

How about a massive A2A Quick-action Arena in the similar fashion of..... let's say.....  Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator series (back when MCFS was hosted on Microsoft Game Zone)?  In that online setup, players didn't have to take off... they're already flying -> close-in (5 miles distance) -> then dogfight.  When players get killed they wait in the lobby until the fight is finished (also similar to World of Tanks).  The team with the least casualty wins (and everybody gets sent back to the "lobby" and wait for next match).  The only thing I would add to this is:
- Auto-Team Assign to even the sides
- 5-minute window to launch the match and...
- rolling plane sets (when the match involving early war planes is finished, next match loads mid war planes, after that... late war planes.  Wash, rinse & repeat)  


btw. does anyone here remember playing Microsoft's combat flight simulator series  on Microsoft GameZone?

+1   sounds great to me

doubt it'll happen though

And the settings for the proposed Arena:

- internal view only
- short range enemy icon
- no external loadouts (bombs & fuel)

short on time.....DA lake

if someone is being a temptard...well take a temp and kill him he will leave shortly after.

+1 great idea

I'm aware of that, but i'd like to envision organized (as in everyone's flying at the same speed & altitude at start...) teams (bish/knite/rook chess)  closing-in  against each other to create a massive, titanic clash type of dogfighting.  

... and take out "time fillers" for the proposed arena (with new system to support it) that don't involve fighting, such as:
> taking off
> building altitude
> rtb

I'm sure many will come to appreciate the fast-paced arcade aspect while retaining this game's "realism" (with internal-cockpit-view-only strongly emphasized.)  




In addition to my proposed setup, i'd like to see:

- "auto-altitude generator" (going no higher than 25k) when 5-minute window-to-launch the match starts.
- starting speed at altitude (as seen on online play of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator series) depending on the type of "rolling planeset" (example:  early war planes = 250mph start; mid  war planes = 300mph start; late war planes = 350mph start)

you mean in the da arena you want a base where you auto launch on a few players per side death match.  there's no need to create a new arena.  the da arena already has many players so it will be easier for some to get curious about it.

or maybe a da match like it used to be in aw.  where you would send a duel invite to 1 or several people and they would be invisible to anybody not invited.

Ooh ohh! the games creator Semp has said no to your wish, although seemingly just a heavy drinking condescending no nothing with too much time on his hands and a poor grasp on basic reasoning, he actually gives the yes or no for wishes in the game. Better luck next time!

uh yeeeaaah, riiiight... you seem to have me confused with someone who thinks you're something. and you're far from being an elder that would garner anything but contempt from someone my age.
