That sure was fun, I took off with G-10 100% Fuel and ext.tank and needed every liter to fly back to base after fight

Thanks HTC !

I flew for about 10 mins. Padded daddog, Grunherz and Nifty's score.

I then cried fowl as I was being gangbanged. Checked the roster and the numbers were porked...there were 3 more of them than there were of us.

Heh...it was actually quite fun till the CV was sent to the bottom. I'm too damn lazy to fly all that way knowing I'm going to last mere seconds

I had a great time!

Guys better populate the arena- use it or lose it. The word on this needs to get around, btw. There have been quite a few who were vocal about coming back "the instant AH got an HA."

I for one enjoyed myself tonight.

Rolled a 109 against a incoming lanc strike with spit escorts, died twice, no kills.

Rolled a 190A8, flew for half an hour to midchannel. Found a fight, got 2 kills, helped another get his. Was down to Aft tank only so headed back. Was involved in 2 more fights before finally able to land on fumes.

It was edge of the seat, full immersion, hair on the neck salamanderled up the whole 2 hours.

I would like to see a couple of "fixes" however. For the norway map especially rebuild times should be longer considering the length of the flight involved.

Axis has CV's, but unable to roll a pt boat, or an LVT from them. Which with no planes available from cv pretty much makes them useless.

Don't know if it's psychological or what but my Spit seemed to have a different more realistic flight model. Overall much more realistic than MA and the time spent flying to target builds up the suspense. I won't complain though if the map is made a bit smaller.

Had a blast in there tonight. It took a little extra work to find a fight but it was worth it.

100 miles between bases is a tad far but not too bad.

The only other issue I had was lag. Most of my kills lost parts or exploded a good 1-2 seconds after I hit 'em. Might have just been on my end though.

Also didn't the brits have some P-51B's? I think it would fit in well with the planeset.

Fun arena, love the icons. Loved flying the A8 again on a regular basis. Got two kills after taking off with DT and 100 fuel. Had to throtlle back and finally dive, turn engine off, dive turn engine off to make it back to 16. Was fun, but tiring when you want a fight. Need a patient day to fly this arena. LOL my squaddies in MA don't fly LW iron, so my squaddies and I are opponents in HA.

Great Arena! Dogfigting Spits and Typhoons in my good old 109 is something else. Plus the lack of radar adds suspense.

Please just enable the 190A5, remove the 190F8 if need be to get the 190A5. Please, its really the SpitIXs and Tiffies most common western enemy in 1942-1943.

Am I reading this right or am I not awake yet ?

We got an arena with no dar, 3K icons and historical maps ?

That's IT , this time I QUIT(my job) !

Thanks a bunch HT !

Thirdup · « **Reply #28 on:** August 09, 2001, 01:16:00 AM »

Hehe, I was just commenting today over on the WWIIO boards that I would return to AH in a heartbeat if there was a historic arena.

Can't wait to read more and fire up my account !
