Aw ww2 arena design was sparse too. Yet had 1000 people on it
It was the best thing out there, in its day. But AW's WWII arena had a lot more toys than KW. Right now, AH has a lot more to plug into a KW environment than AW did. If two models, the Sabre and MiG, were developed, we'd have a functional KW arena to try out/promote. If it fizzles like some here predict (hope) then we still have all the pieces for KW events with less effort than it took for graphics update 1. If it doesn't, then there'd not only be a potential draw (new blood) alongside the dedicated survivors but room to expand.
Our WWII toy box is pretty full. Many of us have been asking for some event gaps to be filled but the MA can't really get much more uber. The only practical add, if players are going to insist on new models, would be this or a dozen ships or a lot more models to bring in the SCW. I merely decided to go the easiest route with the fewest models. No meltdowns required.
