(Apologies to Reb Tevye)
No doubt you have seen the Furball/Fighter Arena thread. There has been a lot of interest and I think a CT CM would be willing to run a furball arena for a week. However, we need a simple map as initially described by DipStick. Ideally it would look somewhat like this:
(http://www.wwiirt.com/ahsounds/furball_map.gif)
Note the bases are all on 3 K pedestals (even the GV bases).
If strat targets are required, they could be shoved in the lower left hand corner; the 8K walls and big downwind should keep them safe.
Note the addition of the Buff Trolling area and the GV Spawn Camper’s Delight area. (Why not since all 5 sectors are completely isolated from each other?)
The 8K walls should provide a good visual reference for the ceiling…
Base distance is critical; minimum time to get back into the fight is desired. I recommend 6, 8 and 10 miles for the different eras.
So, if you are a mapmaker, could ya whip one of these out for us?
Thanks,
eskimo

One could only wish....
I think you meant Ack downtime min ???
All in all what you propose would be great. I think it would lend itself to the TNB's for quick fights, and the BNZ'rs would have to climb out away from the fight to get alt. Both sides could hug the base ack.
You would have cherry pickers and all, it would be a madhouse.
Probably this map would be totaly mindless fun. Key words being mindless and fun.
Are you suggesting perk planes or just whatever you want?

This is Dipstick’s idea; I’m just pushing it.

Eskimo’s suggestion for plane categorization; based on:
MA K/D, Top deck speed & climb rate, Turn rate, Armament, & Year of deployment.
Emphasis placed on overall performance and MA K/D.
Note that dive bombers with minimal stinger guns are included (Why not?).

I like the Mid War set, no uber planes.
P38's, 190A8's and Jugs would be very competative.
The late war set would I would say that the most popular planes would be:
1. Tempest
2. Tempest
3. Tempest
But not necessarily in that order ;)
