I have an idea on what to do instead of the CT, which, even though I like, whenever I entered during my two weeks trial I was the only one there. So obviously it's a flop.

How about placing the same terrain as the MA inside the CT but instead of WW2 planes, you could put in early jet fighters. The ones which fought in Korea up to the mid 60's.

How hard would this be to do? Not much I think because all you'd have to change are the flight models.
The other good thing is that the early jet fighters (unlike the ones we have now), didn't have many AA missiles and still used to dogfight using guns. Also, the AA missiles they did have were short range.
Another reason I think this wouldn't be a bad idea is because you already have a base to work on, which is obviously the ME262 and AR234.

I think this could be an interesting alternative to the WW2 prop planes with little effort on the programming part.

Anyway, I'd definitely play it!!

What do you guys think?

I'd prefer an arena for early WWII fighters only (1942-43) than an arena for post WWII fighters. Jets are for other sims I think;I consider this a dedicated WWII sim.
Anyway I dont know what directions is HTC developing.

, just my feelings

Yes but if there is an arena with early jet fighters, you'll be attracting a whole new type of flight simmer. The ones who prefer jet power to props. Then if you could double the members, you could use the extra money to improve the WW2 props part of the game as well.
Making another arena with just early WW2 planes will probably mean you'll have the current MA server numbers go down a bit and the rest will be in the early WW2 arena. I'll doubt you'll get extra people to sign up.
Anyway, was just an idea.

do even play AH?

Apache · « **Reply #4 on:** December 01, 2001, 09:55:00 AM »

Whether he plays AH or not, he does have a point. There is indeed a market for jet sims. Korea would be excellent.

Granted, squakin hen has been rather, shall we say, vocal, but he does say whats on his mind. I just don't agree with most of it. I do this however.

Wotan · « **Reply #5 on:** December 01, 2001, 10:07:00 AM »

yes it does

especially since this same idea has been posted many times.

I dont think HT has shown any interest in an "early jet" sim or a korean one at that.

This guy doesn't play or even like Ah now hes going to suddenly embrace it if a jet arena is added.......

I'm sure hes got a million other things that he thinks HTC needs to do.

Thank-you Apache.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who would like to see this.

Anyway, I am going to subscribe to AH probably in about two weeks time.

I agree with both wotan and apache. squalking chicken is a pos who has no clue about online sims or real cars and doesn't even play and.... a korean sim would be fine with me but I probly wouldn't be that interested.

I have to admit he's got a point, and I like his idea.

AKDejavu...thanks for the link. That's the first I've seen of it.
That just proves there's a market for it. Why doesn't HTC take advantage of it? Especially when I'm presuming there wouldn't be much effort needed considering most things are already in place in AH.
There's even the carriers for the perked Phantoms.

Cool! Hey! Allow the AH ubb community to assist you with possible handles you could use! How about:

Squab
Turkey
LameDuk
Bent
Stump
Dullard
NotBrite
NoSplitS
UbbTroll
DoDoBird
NoFriend
DwebHunt
NoChkSix
Bounty
LameAss

IMO these are choice.
