New Arena with early planes

[Duedel]

Why not make a little experiment?
Setup a new arena (or maybe use the CT) for an early planeset. The arena should be like the MA (strat and country system the same) but only those planes are available that where introduced into combat till p.e. 12/1943.
So N1k, La7, 190D9, P51D, Yak 9U ... wouldnt be in the arena.

I really would like to give it a try.

Wait until the MT arena arrives, supposed to start out with a 1943 plane set.

Yep I'm very curious about the MT but until it'll be released it will last long.
I dont know if it needs much work to make this early main arena (before a month or two we had 2 Main arenas - but i think it was on different servers) but it would give those guys which are saturated seeing N1k's 190D9 ... a new thing to play with with no need for extra coding (???).

the CT often has early war setups... so many in fact that CTers were getting a little whiney about wanting an occasional mid/late war setup.  of course CT is axis/allies, which is even better imho, than a MA-like free for all with planes fighting same planes regardless of early or mid or late.  good matchups in CT and you really get a rough idea of what it was like for each respective air force and the opponents they had to deal with.  except for pac setups... heh... pac setups...  ah well someday the japanese planeset will get filled out.

The CT Axis vs. Allies is what i dont want. I like to fly what i want without having to change sides. Therefore my suggestion for an additional MA with early plane set - only as a try.

well in CT side shanges are pretty much unlimited with no time restriction.. not like you have to wait 12 hrs to switch.. a few simple mouse clicks...

sign up for lazs early war within MA arena program.

I know that the majority here is against it, but I see a rolling planeset as ideal. I personally like to fly to the best of my abilities in every plane available and I still avoid late war monsters as much as possible. Makes you a better allround pilot. Nikis, Spits and LA7's are too easy. Two spit kills in a P47 gives me much more satisfaction than kills in a LA7 and the same goes fore base defense kills in a spit I.

Ah well, can't please everyone... and in a mid war set-up some planes will be ueber as well, and see the majority of use.

Maybe time to try the CT?

Neither i want the current MA planeset changed or different sections within the MA nor i want the CT changed (till the MT is here).
I want ALL early planes enabled not only a few LW and russian or something like that.
Per example i like to fight in a 109F4 vs. a 109F4. Got it?

 Where do you keep finding these "nuggets" Ack-Ack?    Why do you always reply as if your "in on the plan" and have knowlege of facts no other player does?

Read the first announcement from HiTech about the Mission Theater.

Look in the Big Week newsgroup if you have the addy to it, that's were I read the post.

Thought it was in the News section but I guess not.  If you have the time to go though the 20,000 post in Big Week, you'll find it.

the 8th airforce setup doesnt mean '43.

The d11 is 44 ac so is the p38l.

The germans have an early 43 (42 actually) g6. The only 43 plane we have for this set up is an a5.

[Wotan]

First all-American plane raid was in August of 1942.

August '42 ey....

What '42 era planes do the us have. Thats kinda my point. Run 8th af set up with bostons spits and typhies......

Ah ya deleted your post.............

[cajun]

I sure hope HTC doesnt make the Mission theatre like the MA and only have 42-43 + setups!
Anyway, CT is very good, if you like hostoric planesets and a little change from the n1k,spit,p51,temp,la7 vs n1k,spit,p51,temp,la7 I suggest you try it out some time.
CT allso has very nice maps, some with custom skins now that new skin editor is out!

Rgr that Duedel, and when we have some early war French, Russian, Itai, etc. rides an early war set will only be better and better.

I know the whole "change sides in CT" thing is a pain, but CT is also an entirely different mindset, like NO head on shots for the vast majority of pilots, etc., and lends itself to dogfighting for fun.

You should fly there sometime, when there are 12 guys on they will even it out, pick fields to fly from and have at it, it's a blast.

duedel... what would be wrong with having an early war arena at say the bottom third of the pizza map in the MA for instance?  you would have and early war set that would be anything goes with no limiting and boring axis vs allied crap and you wouldn't have to play dodgeball from the 400mph snapshooting sky accountants.
