You should all be flying in FSO and Scenarios. Is it really that fun porking and capturing undefended bases all night?

I agree,   but there isn't anything that can be done. With the numbers we have now it does hurt the MA game play. I'm not going to fault anyone who wants to do the scenarios, it how they want to play the game.

I dont like scenarios, just too much non action time for me. I prefer to climb quick, die quick and repeat.

Just another problem that can be solved with more players.

I tried it again last night and it was fun but when you only have a couple hours to play, it’s hard to beat the MA. No rhyme intended.

Now that it’s earlier, I’m definitely gonna do it more often

Looking to do more stuff in the AVA with a MA feel but with historical matchups, air spawns for quick action, two sided countries, small maps with limited bases to funnel action.

Well we don't need either arena bad mouthing the other, they each have their place and contribute to the game over all. I had signed up for this last scenario but life got in the way, again. :frown:
