POLL: How many of us would want a historical arena?

[AKSeaWulfe]

Funked here's one that we can do:

Ju88s, 109F4s/G2s and 190A5s.

Lancasters, B26s, SpitVs, SpitIXs and a P51B.

No B17Gs though... and someone could make an English channel terrain.

Or use Med terrain, 109F4s, Ju88s and 190A5s(190A3s) against SpitVs, SpitIXs, Lancasters and B26s.

I would enjoy it - especially if icons were ditched.  But would there be enough interest in it to have more than 10 or so players online at a time - which is what happened at the WB HA, where only on rare occasions (like squad nights) would you find enough nmes in the HA to make a visit worth while.

[Skysix1]

YES.

but we need to keep MA too for the non-historical people    or just to mess around in.

Sure, me too.

I am partly there already.  Don't use Auto Combat trim (never have for that matter) or Auto Take-off (unfortunatily used once or twice before I turned it off - what a joke).  Am starting to use less and less auto-trim.

You get my vote.

I have in many treads lately advocated for a two arena setup. Something which developed in WB after many years of experimenting with arenas an various setups.

Let me describe it again:

One arena is called "The Combat arena". Here you have the full choice of planes, easy mode if you like it, full dot-radar on map, full range icons. All is made easy for those who want to spend the least possible time on finding targets, and who just want a shootout and furballing experience. This is a multi-sided arena as in AHs MA, and is what in WB resembles AHs main arena most.

Then you have the "WW2 Arena". This is a two sided allie/axis arena for those who want the historical aspect and a more challenging flying environment. Here there is a rolling plane set from early to late war during the tour of duty (ToD). Full realism is forced on (no easy mode). Dot-radar on inflight-map is disabled. Only when in tower you have dot-dar. Lethality of guns are reduced to 80% (makes it harder to kill, but more fun i think). Icon range is reduced.

Dont let this down just because it comes from Warbirds. Remember, WB has developed its gameplay for many more years than AH. Learning from others are a good feature, and with regards to these issues Warbirds have good features to be adapted in AH.

Picking the best features from other sims can only enhance AH and secure that it keep its lead as best WW2 planeset sim.

I would. I'd like a real terrian like the Norway and the Med that we have. Now for more terrians for the Pacific area.

[VISCONTI]

YES!!

[DRILL]

 I WOULD LIKE IT TOO BUT YA GOING TO NEED A GOOD TEAM TO WORK ON IT .(opps capps to lazy to fix it   ).. and will take a lot to set up but i think worth wild   so i say go for it

If we can get some more allies and axis aircraft, sure, put my vote down as a JAWOL!

Still don't understand the big deal with combat trim... it's convenient, but if I read some of the posts here on AHBBS, it's more advantageous to turn it off.

WRT to the HA... I'm more interested in seeing an axis/allied arena... similar vs. similar fights aren't nearly as interesting as similar vs. dissimilar.

[Vosper]

Me, sort of.  I'd like to see an axis/allied arena - historical sides, if not a historical terrain, with reduced enemy icon range/info perhaps.

Cheers

Yes i'd like to see an AvA arena.  It's closer to historical than an MA environment.
