I would definitely scale back if RPS was introduced.  I get my kicks in FSO, RPS has no place in the "main" arena.

Sorry but it seems to being going that way  :aok

Interesting!


but now the more I think more about I think the RPS with the point system would be even better!  So people would not have to wait a week for 'their' plane, they could unlock 'higher tier' plane with points, and to make it even better, have all planes unlockable, so you can remain points for the plane you want! But I cannot edit my main post to change it.

I think this would be the best middle ground in those that want RPS and those that do not want RPS.

Some people grumble quite loudly if they can't fly their plane of choice for even one sortie.  If you want people to fly other planes, you need to make an incentive for doing so.  Flying them only to grind out the perks to get what they really want isn't the best way.  Perhaps adding in a score multiplier based on ENY for kills and damage.  That way they would get more perks and additional score points for using lower tiered rides.

Not this bunch.  And AH is more game than sim.

so it's only natural people came here.

Always an assumption that is not true. Very few people migrate to a different competing game.I learned this lesson when creating WBs. Only a few people moved from AW until it ended. The few times people did move was when an entire squad decided to move.

What counts is which game is drawing in more new players.And that was the big fault that started bringing WBs down. They put Hot Seat in charge of game play changes. A long time player who catered to the whims of the hard core long time player like some of the players here.

Why people say that RPS killed WB ?  :headscratch:


I don't realy have a favourite plane, so i always fly whats available. Is it because people want to fly so badly with their 'favourite plane' ?

Are you not good in the plane of the current year? Well, git gud! This is war soldier, in war there are no 'favourite planes' !

Because in the time I spent in Warbirds it hadn't begun its real death spiral yet, but talking to anybody who was there for the first RPS years ago, it was wildly unpopular.

Shortly after I left, they implemented one again and the numbers took a steeper dive, likely for a multitude of reasons but it don't believe it did it any favors.

Good for you.  Many people don't think that way.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Untrue.  RPS did not affect numbers at all.   Other changes did after the population shifted from AvA to the Main.
