What if 1 plane was free?

[nugetx]

A lot of the steam accounts are just for the trial or thinking the main melee arena is free to play, after two weeks they will probably stop playing and the numbers might drop again.

What if 1 plane was free so they can continue to play?  sort of 'starter account' ?

Think about it this way... they will stop playing and there will be less players again and they wouldn't pay anyway, this way the game can have more players by allowing them to fly atleast 1 plane.

Just not those pesky Yak-3 and Brewsters.
B5m maybe? They have the freshest coat of paint

[hitech]

The already have lots of free places to play.

But what if you just perked everything except whatever Nugetx likes to shoot people in because all those other planes are way OP anyways?

Already trying to take advantage of any and everything free... Create your own FREE arena with the settings you want

I like it.  The more people in the Melee Arena the better.  Eventually maybe they'll upgrade to a paid sub.   If not, more targets for those of us who have.   Win-win.

Similar things have been suggested before.  Not likely to happen.

IF a new player was allowed 1 plane free in the melee/ma for more than the 2 free weeks, make it a P-40 or Zeke.

But there we can't shoot them down.

Still don't have a paying account yet?  $15 gets you all the planes.  AH is on steam now.  What are you waiting for?

[waystin2]

How about a Storch?

You can't shoot them down only if they create a custom arena and password protect it, only allowing in those that they want....

Custom arenas are not particularly popular.  Certainly not relative to the Melee.  Maybe that will change.

The OP's wish isn't likely to happen because like his other wishes, this one is also a bad idea for new players and the game over all.

Understandable Vraciu...

I actually used to like being invited to the VF-17 Jolly Rogers squad practice, when they were setting up a custom arena each week....kinda wished I would have been able to join them and fly with them more back then when they invited me

It is what one makes of it... Back when Aces High went Live, and our squad members started showing up in bunches from Air Warrior and War Birds, we all agreed to set up h2h arenas and practiced learning the differences of AH from the other games were migrating from...in just 2 to 3 weeks we were ready to dive straight into the MA and CT....

Again, it is what one makes of it....

Cheers
