Early war and Midwar arenas

[hazmatt]

I remember having lots of fun in the early and mid war arenas back in the day.
The small maps and limited plane sets were a blast. I'm curious if anybody else missed them.

Also it seems that it would be easy to setup with the current ability to set up your own room. I'd be willing to set it up if somebody could tell me where to find those small maps and how to set up the plane sets.

Or maybe HiTech could bring it back so it would be up all the time?

I would be down for some early war fights.

Unless the population grows and it shows more interest than when we had those arenas (they were never very populated) then the AvA may end up being your best bet to get more early and mid war experience. Just sayin'.

Would have preferred them on maps with about 6 bases on each side. I though the MA style map was too big. Still don't know if that would have gained enough action to keep the arena populated though.

I enjoyed those arenas too hazmatt. If you haven't already, stop by the AvA tonight (Monday) 8pm EST. There will be a mid-war plane set running. We could run an early war setup similar to that on a different week night if there's enough interest.

MW was the best plane set

Tbh, I wish the MW plane set were the main rides in the MA and all late war planes were perked. Would see much better fights.

How true!  Yet I wonder if there's not something worthwhile in the notion of having to do extra work to get the 1945 plane set.  After all, there's a functional version of every major fighter and bomber type in the midwar set - except for the Japanese, who lose the George and Frank.

I wish I could. I work Friday through Tuesday so I miss all the events

Meh... the tanks have tiered perk cost, why don't the planes? The top fighter aircraft in the game are over bearing. 5 or 10 perks really wouldn't hurt. I was fighting in a furball the other day. There were 4-6 yak3s and 3-4 La7s, among the furballers. Its really getting old TBH. There just really isn't any balance anymore. Either fly the best fastest fighter in the game or get ganged by 3 yak3s every sortie. Thats where the MA is at right now.

That's the truth. I'm surprised anybody flies anything pre 44 in the MA due to this.

I find that if I'm not in something fast that I spend most of my time chasing stuff I can't catch.

The fights would increase in the game.  Its a bandaid though.  Smaller maps and limits to resupply for a newly captured base only.  Crazy how many people will jump in supp trucks before the base is even white flagged.

We used to use planes and tanks to hold a base.

Indeed. It's very lame. Took me a few months after getting back to realize this was happening.
