Keep it to yes or no and any comments to justify your yes or no, please.
I vote yes.

i could care less for post-ww2 setups, but if you had read the inital request about 2-3 weeks ago, you'd see quite a few CTers, including myself, saying that we should run this for artik.
that thread is not to be confused with artik's other "post-ww2 setups" thread.
sooooo....
all in all, ...
remember, it's the pilots not the planes that make or break a setup, usually.
-
Yes run it again!
Change is good
SKurj
-
leave out the spitIVX and F-20 or loose it
-
Lose it forever? Heh. Gimme a fat break ya crybaby. No, keep it. Hell, run it once a month just to cause severe dehydration in TheBug. ;)
Now .... more seriously.
The are 52 fuggin weeks in the fuggin year. Go ahead ... count `em. I'm pretty darn sure I'm right. I believe the anniversary Artik wanted to commemorate with this here setup only comes around during one of the aforementioned 52 weeks. The Finnish one as well. Running a "Pearl Harbor week long surprise attack" :rolleyes: would be as well. I don't think too many weeks have been specifically set aside for such things. That's three. I doubt anyone here could add three more. Even if they could that leaves 46 fuggin weeks left in the fuggin year.
Now this week's setup ain't everyone's cup o' tea. Well it ain't as if this is anything new here. Next week's won't be either. Or the next. Or the one after that. Or the next one. Anyone sensing a pattern there?
Now, in spite of the efforts of some of my esteemed collegues of the CT community in trying to drum up support to start banning whatever makes them cranky ... casting into the abyss their current pet peeve setup (out of a myriad of such), why don't we just play the damned thing through (or sit out of it in a huff, flying the MA or whatever) and having done such, leverage the good will created thusly to request something more to our liking? NO?
There's all types here. Some of us are even flexible and can learn to enjoy most any setup ... if we try (versus cry). :D :aok

True, and only 14 in the CT as I post this spells break to me.
-
I'm starting to kinda like this Arlo, "crybaby" response team. He's pretty good.
-
i had enough spit vs. spit setups for the year.
-
Vote: keep it
Reason: I had fun
-
Keep it WWII or lose it.

I haven't flown this set up, but I was intrigued by the 109-G6 and Mustangs vs the Spit Vs and Spit XIVs. I'm surprised it was the G-6 and wasn't the G-10 though.
What's all the complaining about?
-
Actually it is mostly
REAF Spitfire Mk V, C205 vs IAF Avia S-199 (sub 109g6), Spitfire Mk IX
The limited planes are:
RAF Spitfire Mk XIV (that had been based in Egypt) vs IAF P-51D
So you can see that planeset is quite ballanced - and based on hitorical aircrafts.
-
keep it, it's a fun set up. I was an arab today. artik along with jussa showed up. it only took me 5 minutes to hate the jews. great fights you guys I had fun. great set up artik.
-
Keep it.
It's a fun set up,and it means something to a few of our members.

Not the SpitIVX

You've only been killed by it six times. You ain't doing too bad in the IX. Why don't you petition to have the perk cost raised instead of getting rid of it altogether? Oh wait ... that would mean only pilots with a fair amount of perkies could fly them - therefore possibly making them EVEN MORE of a menace! Oh no! A Spit XIV! Run away! :D
Double ... no triple .... wth .... QUADUPLE the XIV perk cost! Require a British accent!
p.s. The Spit IX will bounce the crap outa the SpitV and C205 ... AND can actually hold it's own against the XIV .... if flown halfway decent .... unless you're flyin against Shane or some such. ;)
-
I dont understand why the SpitIVX is there instead of the SpitIX on both sides. That is more historical and game balancing than the SpitIVX.
The P-51D is no threat and only has a total of 30 kills on everything.
The A-20 is still a piss poor sub for a bloody slowazz C-47.
Funny thing is, it should be more of a Bf-109 vs Spit V to begin with!

Cause alot of people wouldn't like the "split down the middle" skin, prolly. :D
The Spit "IVX" (where'd you learn your Roman numerals, man?) CAN be defeated by the Spit IX. Trust me.
-
I do find the history of the IAF to be very interesting, however, I dont think the 1948 or 1956 setups lend themselves well to a CT setup in AH. 1948 its mainly Spit vs Spit (and lets be honest, it was a very limited air war), and 1956 we dont have any of the Jets.
...so I vote "yes" to have the setup, but not in Aces High.
..1967 and 1973-82 is where it gets really interesting, but thats another era entirely.
-
Keep it, but change the G6 to an E4 and put the Spit 14 perk cost to 10-15.
-
The main reason 109g6 sunsits S199 is following:
1. S-199 has fuselage of 109g6 and another engine - so....
2. Ballance 109g6 machs very well with C205 allmost same speed, climb, but C205 has better manuvrability. So for game ballance reasons c205 vs 109g6 is best.
3. 109E is very good dogfighter - S-199 not
-
Hmm.... I may have come up with my next setup.....
"Galland's Wish"
A fantasy setup, what if Goering had listened to Galland and the germans were able to reverse engineer a captured Spit and field there own wing of uber planes.....
1944, Spit XIV vs Spit XIV.... oh it will be glorious....
-
Sounds good to me. Just make sure the Axis XIV costs more perks than the Allied XIV so nobody has to break out a fresh box of tissues when their mascara starts running.
-
And make sure it has accurate skins by cawd! :D
-
The really fun part of this all is the Spit users themselves getting tired of Spits.
Refreshing moments for Axis-plane lovers I'd say. Mmm.. Come on m8s, gimme some more gripes about those Schmuckfires. It's popcorn for the soul.

Actually, on second thought, this set deserves to stay for that reason alone.
-
Hey, Grits. Did I tell ya that I had a dream that AH had Corsairs? And they were big and terrible! And they brought fear and loathing! FEAR AND LOATHING!
Yay Spits!
Hey ... I'm having fun ... flying whatever. :D
-
Lol arlo...
if you hadn't guessed I've turned into a rather large Hunter Thompson fan recently. :)
And don't fret, if we don't get another pto setup before my turn is up again I'll probably run Okinawa so we can get our big blue fix in.
-
Skin problems. Could it be posible to name flight models per country? Like SpitIXEgypt, SpitIXIsreal, F4U-1FAA, F4U-1214, Bf109Jg54, P51DIsreal etc for TOD maps? Flight models would remain the same but skins would be different. I know AHII has 1,2,3 skin files but could this be done.......aw never mind:(
-
Hawk,
I don't know if the skin file will "translate" for lack of a better term to the icon reading above the aircraft in the game. That is a question better suited to the HTC staff.
-
I vote to keep it. There are people who play it so it can't be all bad. Personally I can't find any reason to play it so you'll find me in the MA.
Cheers,
-
I for one am enjoying this setup. Have never had so much fun in the Spit-9 than I have had this week.. All this fights I have been in are some of the best I've seen.
Don't know why there is such a gnashing of teeth over setups. They have planes we can fly, and people to fly against. If a setup really bothers you, take the week off and keep the whining to yourself. It makes for a happier place for all. My $.02
-
I think the N1K is overmodelled.

Artik can start a bunch of threads basically whining that this setup wasn't run during the anniversary of the so called "Israeli Independence" with the desire of getting this setup and you don't have a problem with that? But you can't understand why people that don't like this non WWII setup complain?? My $.02

Artik didn't. You're the one starting a buncha threads and whining. Not like you haven't done THAT before. :D :aok
-
Find a post where i whined about a setup before. Not lack of setup.
-
Is this ... like ... "the first offense defense?" How bout I modify that to "not the first time you've created a bunch of pissy diaper threads?" :D
-
I will accept that.
