Title: Your favorite Areana
Post by: stickpig on September 17, 2006, 01:58:06 PM
Now that the new format has been in place awhile, Whats your favorite areana?

I like the EW..... Great fights there and the Numbers are decent.

MW has become my Favorite.
Only wish there were more people flying in it.

I like EWA a lot. Flying planes I wouldn't dare fly in the MA is a blast and great since theres a chance of survivability and fun involved. Nothing like flying 110c's low and fast while coming across some spits and hurricanes, or taking on 110's with 202s (I forgot that they just had MGs and no cannons, wow, talk about a long fight!).

I may venture into LWA but those are planes I've seen too much in the MA. Besides, flying Boston III's on bombing runs are great fun too!

I'm liking the EWA, pretty much for the reasons Sigma stated. I plan on spending some time in the MW to check that out as well. Seeing the hangar queens slugging it out in huge fights is still pretty novel to me.

I just wish the EW had a different tank. T34 vs T34 is ponderous at times.

MWA is my favorite because of the plane sets. There is still not enough people in there for the size of the map. I've had some great fights in there but they can be a challenge to find. EWA would be next on my list some fun fights there as well and they are easier to find. Don't know if I'll ever go back to the LWA, I guess if I get an itch to fly a F4U-4.

MWA is wonderful. True, numbers are a little low and I guess this is due to people enjoying some veriety flying the EW (till recent) hangar queens. I suspect once that "newness" wears out, the numbers will be spread better between the 3.

EWA is closely my second favorite. The perfect setup for pure mindless furballing fun. The only problem with it is that the Jug wasn't produced early enough to fit in there.

Bounce between EW and MW, and rarely visited LW.

EWA and MWA are tied for me. The one thing I cannot stand about the early war is the lack of the B-17. I say bring on the B-17 E and F!!!

I'm digging the F4F in Early War.  If only there were more tanks and such, I might not ever leave!

Oh, and this is my plug for bringing the D.520 to Early War!

EWA for me at the moment. I'm having a ball in the Spit MkI practising up for BoB06. MWA definitely looks like fun. LWA doesn't hold any interest for me at the moment but that will likely change. It's great to have the choice :aok



Cheers,

It's hard to figure, EWDA , MWDA, or LWDA.   Hmmm think I like the original DA better.:noid

Anything BUT the LW. I've been playing AH in a "1945 dominated" arena for about 7 years, I appreciate the change of scenery.

None of them as they are presently set up.
Too many penalties for being on the wrong side or in the wrong arena.
ENY goes into effect too soon. It is bad enough that the odds against you are severe in a given arena, but it ain't my fault. I cannot control the numbers in the various arenas. Why should I be penalized for something I cannot control?

EW has had better battles so far.

MW has better plane set.

I will play in which ever has the best map. Really the current EW map is horrible and its nice to be able to go MW and ignore a bad map.

the eny is nuts every nite. We are forced to defend our bases with junk planes that do not perform. How can a P40 have half a chance against a La7 or F4U? And last nite we couldn't even defend from the ground because of the eny! This game used to be fun.I'm not so sure about it anymore.If things don't get better soon, I'll take my business elsewhere and fly the planes of MY choosing!You guys are screwing up! Half the people in my squad of 30 are on the verge of going elsewhere. I never heard any of that talk before you changed things.The eny is just nonsense and it's going to cost you customers if it's not fixed soon. Simple as that!:furious

If you are complaining about the ENY and are unwilling to change sides to keep things even and fair then...whaaaaa...it is the price you pay for wanting to have your enemies outnumbered so badly. Of course the P40 versus La7 sounds a bit extreme to me, are the La7 drivers outnumbered 8:1 or what?

If you are completely willing to change sides to keep numbers even and fair but cannot due to side-switching restrictions then I agree the thing needs tweaking.

I'm not saying I like this new format yet because it really chopped up my squad.  I really enjoyed hanging with them and although some are still around it is quit obvious that over half are dissappointed in the new set up.

But.....if I had to choose...EW is the best IMO because I'm guessing about 99% of the guys in there are AH vets that are looking for a good fight and not some HO tard lghey or spixteen driver. Having said that.....I haven't tried any of the other arenas yet but, I'm pretty sure I know what I will find. I have had some of the best fights in a long time in the EW arena. However, the problem is that it is hard to find a fight when I'm on late at night:mad:

like early and have only really flown it.. Will try MW soon..

Popped into the other ones to check out numbers and planes being used...  LW is awful every time I have checked...  not much different than the old MA but with even worse imbalance in numbers.   The whorde can have it so far as I am concerned.... had enough of the late war 1945 planes in the years I have been dodging em.

Oh jeez, how old are you? You do know this is a game and when you shoot somebody down they don't really get hurt right?

Personally speaking some of the best fun I've had has been stalking/hunting/fighting/killing squaddies, although since they usually  get me not the other way around. Give it a try sometime, expand your horizons bro, you're wound a bit too tight!

I am glad they finally disabled the unperked F4U-4 and KI-84 in the MW arena, though...they did'nt belong there, perked, or unperked.
