This sounds like it will be fun. I tried it a couple times in MA but found it was so slow that with all the rocket planes around that I pretty much could only get a quick shot using a lead turn on most as they flashed by.

It would be interesting to hear how it goes.

Shooting for haggerty's list for it .. don't expect to land many/any  :airplane:

There is a way to highlight midwar in the main arena... just need some coadz and less gutless flying...

I dont see either happening.  I'll have to look for eagler.

How I am determining what 109 to fly this month...

Green dar bar larger than the red bar .. 109e

Red bar same size as green dar bar... 109f

Red dar bigger than green bar ... 109g2 with gonds

What's sad is when they gang/pick your 109e usually in late war birds lol..

Why not make a Player Arena that is limited to mid-war, two countries, close fields, etc.?  Advertise a particular day and time to attract the 16 player limit, and have at it.

I did that a couple time but nobody showed up. I didn't really do any "advertising" though. I guess if you build it they don't always come?

Id suggest you mention it at MNM tonight, as well as every 15-30 in The MA tonight and tomorrow just to make sure you get the word out.

I believe the fight was still good on most nights but comparing it to late 2000s is not close.

That’s highly subjective. I play one to two hours a night, if there’s not much going on or it’s hoard city, I find other things to do.
