We have a new concept on how to divide 2 idential arenas that will alow a squads to fly to gether if it wishes. But the new method will not work as well as we desire untill our customer base grows a little more. At that time we will be implenting the new system.
So untill that time, we will be raising the cap on the LW arena to 350, and posibly some what higher before we implement the new system.
Along with the changes we will be disableing the ENY in the EW and MW areans, if long term country inbalances arise , we will reevaluate the use of ENY in those arenas.

How many more people do I need to go out and get signed up to get the customer base to where it needs to be?

So sorry HITECH, to little, to late, with a might happen on top.
To much like THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL and why post this change?
You sure as heck did not post anything about the last change!

We did this change exatly like the other, post and change happen at the same time.
And I am clueless as to what else you are trying to say in your post.

can you put the large maps back into the rotation?

Thanks, at least this is something a little better than what we had.
Still would prefer one arena though.

Omg...
Here I was checking in here to see what this new Late War Spitfire was, and when it was actually going to be available..
"SPLIT" yeah...got it!!
Good move here, I had to wait for an opening in the main LW arena more than once, where my squad was flying for the week...

get over it, people spell any dang way you want, shorthand is the future,get used to it.,
HT thanx for the prompt fix in LW.....more people equals a better time I hope.:aok

It's called "newspeak."

Thank you HTC for listening. I am sure the new cap limits will help. I look forward to the future changes as well.

Thanks for trying.

Cool.... hope to get some time in this weekend to see how it goes.

No more ENY in the EW arena? YEAH! Now you don't have to up a B5N to fight a Hurri 2C or Spit V!!!
I think this and raising the LW number cap is defintely amove in the right (as in correct or best, not the opposite of left) direction!:aok
-
<--ive got a spit5 woodie :D
(hmmm wonder if Hitech told them about the no HO EW setting ?) :noid
-
HT, all due respect sir, I have a question.
First a bit of data:
These are the top speeds and max rate of climbs of the EW planeset. I took these off the AH charts and didn't use a micrometer. I just made an honest try at identifying the data there. I gave things the benefit of the doubt and usually rounded up a bit if it were a close call. Speeds/Rates are at 10k, which is usually a bit high for EW fights. WEP numbers are used for planes that have WEP.
- Aircraft Top Speed Climb Rate
- B5N2 220 1400
- C-47 220 1000
- Ju-87-D-3 230 1200
- D3A1 240 2200
- SBD-5 250 1400
- TBM-3 255 900
- Lancaster III 265 700
- Ju-88-A-4 275 1200
- F4F-4 305 2200
- Hurri Mk I 305 2500
- A6M2 310 2500
- Hurri Mk IIC 315 2600
- P-40B 320 2300
- Bf-110C-4b 325 2700
- Boston III 330 1900
- Bf-109E-4 335 3100
- P-40E 335 2100
- Spit I 335 2700
- Spit V 345 3200
- C-202 350 3600
- P-38G 360 2800
- Bf-109F-4 365 3900
- Spit IX 365 3700
- Fw-190A-5 370 2900
Looking at the last six aircraft, these planes can do between 345 and 370 which is very fast compared to the rest of the planeset here. Not coincidentally their climbrates from 2900 up to 3900 fpm are all very good for the planeset.
Now let's add the "first combat" dates:
- Spit V 4/41 345 3200
- C-202 11/41 350 3600
- P-38G 11/42 360 2800
- Bf-109F-4 6/41 365 3900
- Spit IX 7/42 365 3700
- Fw-190A-5 2/43 370 2900
Clearly the Spit V, C-202, Bf-109F-4 are early war. They are all 1941 aircraft.
While the C-202 has impressive speed and climb that is significantly mitigated by its well below average gun package.
The Bf-109F-4 similarly shows good speed and climb but its gun package mitigates much of that as well.
These two, despite high top speed and excellent climb do not dominate the fight because of the gun packages.
The Spit V is also clearly early war has good speed, good climb and pretty good guns. It doesn't totally dominate either but the gun package makes it extremely popular and extremely common to find in the fights. As a result, because of it's overall very good performance and guns, I would perk this aircraft to promote diversity in the arena.
The P-38G with an 11/42 introduction has great speed but a pretty much average climb with a good gun package. It doesn't dominate the arena but a well-flown P-38 using E tactics is pretty safe in the EW arena. IMO, this aircraft fits well in the MW arena but is a bit out of place in the EW due to the high top speed and good guns. Still, it would be a close call EW/MW.
The Spit IX with a 7/42 introduction is closer in time to the EW aircraft but it really is a MW aircraft considering performance and guns. It has excellent speed, amazing climb and guns. I think it clearly should be in the MW arena with other similar aircraft.
The Fw-190A-5 has a clear MW introduction date of 2/43. It is the fastest plane in EW but it's climb rate is only good, not amazing. It's gun package, with the 4x20mm is significantly better than most of the EW planeset. Even with 2X20mm it has slightly above average guns. This plane, even more than the P-38G, can be untouchable using E tactics against EW aircraft. I think it should clearly be in the MW arena.
Lastly, the Hurricane IIC; clearly an EW aircraft by introduction date, and average in speed and climb, it's gun package is awesome. Unfortunately, this makes it the La-7 of the EW arena. I would perk this aircraft highly to promote diversity and ACM tactics.
Now, the above data and opinions lead to the following question:
Would you consider moving the P-38G, Spit IX and Fw-1190A-5 out of the EW and into the MW?
Futher, would you consider perking the Spit V lightly and the Hurri IIC rather heavily to promote diversity in the EW arena?
I think these moves would make the EW a better arena, more in tune with the spirit of EW air combat.
Thank you for you consideration and time.

Toad, i agree with your statements 100%, good job!!!!!

No Mercy Asked....None Given!
Fly what you like. Like what you fly. Don't worry about what the other guy flies. It's a game.
Why does your signature seem so at odds with your request?
-
My request is for a reasonably balanced arena, one that promotes the style of fighting prevalent during the stage of the war the particular arena represents.
Not a very difficult concept is it? Early War planes in an Early War arena? Sort of makes sense, don't you think?
As for the sig, I probably ought to change it and I probably will. I think I've had that one since the early part of beta almost.
That was written way back in the days when guys played this game to fight. Didn't matter to me what you flew as long as you were there for the fight.
It's not as applicable in these days of guys that play to avoid the fight.

i like the ENY thing in EW/MW.....woudl there be a way to do this inLATE2? I was flying a 262 that costed me 8 perks today. ENY....21.38:rolleyes:
it was
knights:1(me)
Bishops: 2
rooks:13
I'm not complaning bout the ENY today. (i like flyin 262s vs P40bs..a6m2s..C202s spit1s and hurri1s) but i have had the same thing happen to me.
Any way to fix it?

Or when the complaints about plane types didn't match your opinion the signature was valid, but now that the shoe is in the other cockpit it's different?
As for the time of war that you speak to, are you saying that early war saw massive furballs that went all the way to the deck? That pilots fought with the obvious abandon that is displayed by the turn and burn, grab a new plane when you are shot down crowd? I'd be interested in your historical sources that support that.
I think I understand the style of play that you want, but I don't agree with the method to legislate that type of play for everyone else.

These are excellent suggestions.

No, try to twist it as you will; it's a simple concept and your twists simply make you look foolish.
I flew from Beta on up to the recently deceased MA with that sig. What others flew in there didn't bother me. All planes were available from all periods of the war; that's the way it was and I had no problem with it.
Now try to follow this concept:
For reasons of his own, HT divided the single arena into three arenas each representing a particular period of WW2.
These are called Early War, Mid War and Late War.
Following so far?
What I have posted here is my opinion and reasoning on the planeset in the EW arena. I believe 3 of the aircraft are misplaced and should correctly be placed in the MW arena.
Even if those aircraft remain in the EW I will continue to fly there. It won't bother me if someone flies a 190 but I will still think two things:
1. The Fw-190A-5 should really be in the MW, (along with the Spit IX and the P-38G. The arena would have much better balance without them.)
2. Someone flying those planes really isn't in tune with the period the EW represents.
Now, here's a concept...why don't YOU try discussing what I posted instead of my sig?
Or are you totally bereft of the ability to carry on an on-topic discussion?
-
I have no problem with discussing the content of your posts.
I'm not the one with a signature line that apparently is inconsistent with your current position, nor am I the only one who noticed the irony of it.
So I don't feel foolish at all. I wouldn't want to be on your end of that argument tho.
I've neither agreed nor disagreed with your plane choices. A leveling of the plane set in any arena is always worthy of discussion. If you look at my two previous posts, they addressed your signature and your method of trying to legislate a STYLE of flying that you seem to feel represents the early war period.
I'm not sure how you honestly can defend what your signature says and that of your current position and it is really irrelevant. I'm not really interested in that per se. However, I am interested in how you support your argument that points to a style of fighting that you seem to prefer. My obvious assumption is that it involves a lot more turn fighting, which inevitably leads to a massive furball on the deck. You allude to that style being prevalent for the period and I don't believe there are adequate historical references to support that position.
Now, if your position is just your opinion based upon what type of flying you WANT to see in the EW, every one is certainly entitled to that.
Whether I agree or not would of course be my prerogative.
I'm open to your thoughts, but I don't need you to tell me how I look, ask if I can follow, or question whether I can remain on topic.
-
i "disagree" w/ Toad also .
for now til we get more early planes those 3 arnt that much of a problem, they help keep the Hohurri's in line ..
perk the spit 5 you gotta be kidding me ... why dont ya just ask for them to perk the whole planeset and scare all the newb's off .
by perking more of the current rides in EW you may as well just close the arena . IMRO
if they really go towards Toads direction ... then it would be best to toss the 3 countrys and go to 5 countrys and enable the planes in that catagory ...
(oh wait we have alled vs axis already)
-
Toad's not the only person suggesting the Hurri be perked. The EW does lose some of it's charm when every other plane is a C Hurri, but I guess I was used to seeing only 4 plane types in the MA with everything enabled, so it's not that odd for me.
-
Good news!
-
There's merit in Toad's idea. Kudos for posting it and in the way it was presented - logically and supported with his reasoning. There is a lesson in that.
I'm going to run with his idea (and what I believe is his basis for it - a fun and fair air-combat arena) and expand on it. Apologies in advance, Toad.
Let's start with a clean piece of paper and no pre-conceptions except these:
1. Gameplay fun is paramount.
2, Player preferences are many.
3. We all have an interest in a thriving HTC, unless you want to back to, or to, Brand WB or Brand FA. I'll say, "No thanks," to those options since I've been there and done that.
So here's a new 3-ring circus idea. Please read through it before you begin attacking my signature...
EW arena becomes the Early Air-Combat Arena. Subitled: "Men and Machines"
The arena attributes are:
- A plane set similar to what Toad posted. Opportunities for HTC to fill the plane set with interesting new aircraft that would not be used much, or competitive, in the old MA format.
- Perks for this arena are earned and spent only in this arena.
- Bombers, gvs, troops and ordnance are disabled.
- Field ack is turned up to maximum lethality to encourage air-to-air combat, not air-to-not-quite-in-the-air-yet combat.
- Maps with 0.0, 5.0 and 8.0 alt bases for higher fights. Sea level and mountainous terrains.
- Only 2 countries, but both have access to all planes, instead of AvA arena. This creates more fights and improves the off-peak gameplay. "Loyalty" to country has less meaning since no war is won.
- For those inclined, your incentive is to become "King of the Hill." Rank for the arena is fighter rank only. No perceived gaming of score.
- ENY side balancing would be in effect.
The MW arena becomes the Air Combat Arena. Subtitled: "Machines and Men"
The arena attributes are exactly the same (including scoring, sides, etc.. everything) as EAC except:
- A rolling plane set starting at current Mid War.
I never thought the rolling plane set was a bad idea. I liked it and it kept things from getting stale.
The squads that like to fly late-war aircraft have a chance to participate in pure A2A scenarios, and again, off-peak gameplay is improved.
The LW arena becomes the Strategic War Arena. Same as current LW setup except:
- Perks earned here are spent here only.
- Mid-size maps with more difficult capture requirements and more bombing/gv targets (i.e. 2-3 towns per field to be destroyed and 2-3 sets of troops to capture it.) Reduces the single-player captures of undefended fields and concentrates fights. I'm sure others have better ideas about this arena.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Well, there's another idea thrown onto the fire. My signature awaits your attack. ;)

HiTech
Was something changed in servers, internet bandwidth or something ?!
I ussed to get over 80 fps on ground view mode , and higher on full view with same sistem/conection in old MA, with 600+players online, now i get 40-60 fps, in arena with 100-200 players,
and is not only me, cuz i asked the other players, they have same symthoms
Why this lag?! this evening after clicking " end flight" in tower i could still hear the voices of the players that were around me before ending flight ,was about 8-10 seconds delay in voice:(
-
the 190-A5 and P-38G and Spit IX as maybe a bit of a stretch for "early war" planes, I don't have much trouble with them tactically, and I don't think they unbalance the EW arena. This opinion is subject to change, however, based on planeset.
What we need is more early planes for the EW arena. We need a couple more italian birds, we need some (gasp) french stuff (dewoitine 520 would be interesting) and maybe a MiG 3 and a Rata for the Russian side, and...
the P-39!!!!
But when did we get the last truly new plane? I mean, one that wasn't a rework of an existing model? Was it really two years ago?
-
Hmmm, B-24, or the Ki-84? That's been a while ago. I personally would like to see a lot of oddball rides modelled, but I don't think we'd see any more variety than we saw in the old MA. Many people, for whatever reasons (another discussion entirely) gravitate toward what they believe are the "uber" birds.
The more I think about this, the more I think that perking only results in more timidity, and more vulching/picking, and less actual engagements with airborne cons. Look at the 38s, 190s, and IXs. Half of my time this month (roughly 15 hours?) is in the EW exclusively. I've seen 1 of each actually engage another airborne plane in even odds since the change. The rest of the time... vulching, or cherrying 3 to 1 fights (actually, only
twice picking. The rest were all just vulching). I don't believe the goal of perking planes is to encourage that type of thing, but rather to limit the numbers of such planes. It's a tough call. The end of ENY limits means a chance to earn ridiculous amounts of perks, so maybe those tactics will fade out after a bit.
And of course, a gratuitous plug for the P 39, on general principle. :aok

I can't believe Toads' sig derailed the entire thread. :lol
My .02-way to go on upping arenas to 350. Now there are more people to shoot me down. I like variety. I do agree with Toad, and his well thought out dissertation on the subject. And I agree the IIC has become the LA7 of EW, and have stated that more than once. They're like fleas in EW some of the time. Harder to duck the HO 'cause they move so slow, too.
I am okay with the arenas, still get overpopulated in LW, MW is my favorite because of planeset and Panzer. I despise driving the T-34. No pintle. :D
HiTech. Continuous improvement is where it's at. AH goes lean.

As to your post, I think it has great merit. It's a much more significant change in gameplay than the arena split but I certainly would like to give that a try. It more clearly defines the differences in gameplay styles which appeals to me.
And it pretty much gives the old MA back to those that desire that.

As for the sig, I probably ought to change it and I probably will. I think I've had that one since the early part of beta almost.
That was written way back in the days when guys played this game to fight. Didn't matter to me what you flew as long as you were there for the fight.
It's not as applicable in these days of guys that play to avoid the fight.
Toad the whole arena is nothing but SpitV's and H2C's now---limiting those perk rides won't affect much, as they are a small % of total sorties--with just the perked V left, nothing will be able to escape the horde--P40 outdives it, but spit catches up real fast. (that being said, good idea on perking the V---as it has been some 3 weeks now, everyone seems to have concluded that the V is the most surviveable plane, and many others are again being relegated to hangar queens.)
Back to thread--Good idea HT--I saw a guy ranked 6000+ last night--- It MUST have occured to someone here that if there are 6000+ paying subscribers, a way MUST be found to allow more of them to play simultaneously, or HT's account growth would stagnate (mebbe that is what prompted all this?) At some point in time, I think the game had to become a multi-arena affair, else noobs would be scared off by the 700 plane hordes. I must admit, I liked it better before, but this new thing is growing on me, and I see the need for the change.

No, apparently you refuse to provide historical sources to back up your position on why the plane set should be adjusted to provide a certain style of combat that you THINK is historical.
You can make a personal attack and try to brush it off, but you aren't addressing the apparently underlying premise of your post. You want a certain type of flying experience and want to have changes made to the arena to in effect legislate what you want. (plane set and ENY).
So.. prove your historical premise... or, as you say....
CYA

Thanks HTC, the locking out of squadmates was becoming a problem and this will definately help.

There we go... FINALLY. No unsupported references to history, just a plain statement. "It more clearly defines the differences in gameplay styles which appeals to me. "
That wasn't so difficult was it?
For what it's worth, I'd like to see the same changes, but I'm not going to stump for them. One thing I learned years ago in Air Warrior, something that the old hands back then had to drum into my head. The GAME is what each player decides to make of it. One has no right to tell them how to fly, be it turn and burn, BnZ, fly for K/D, shoot and auger, etc. Took me a long time to accept that, but I believe it.
So I don't support changes that are made to in effect legislate a flying style. Different arenas as described in this thread? Very interesting! However, remove the cap from LW1 and let the customer choose. If the alternative products being offered are what the customer base wants, the customers will support them. Putting the caps on the LW arenas only forces people to inhabit the other arenas and drag the LW mentality with them. If we open up the caps, birds of a feather will flock together! THEN we will have a chance to develop a "norm" for each arena. The community that regularly inhabits EW will be able to peer influence people who fly there and perhaps Toad will have the experience he wants. Otherwise, with a low LW cap we risk the chance of forcing an unhappy customer into a different arena, and they aren't particularly open to joining the collective but rather all they want to do at that point is make someone else unhappy.
I also would like to see more planes in the set and actually favor a rolling plane set! I am not fond of the use of ENY and if the community dynamic we are trying to develop matures, it won't be as necessary anyway. When it comes to perking rides... that is a slippery slope there.

I agree with this, too. Given the One Main Arena of the past, though, it's understandable that the early war plane set was ignored. As a practical matter, we have to assume that HTC will be devoting most of its resources to bringing CT on line, so we probably won't see any new early war planes in the near future. Toad's ideas about adjusting the current EW arena are good ones, but they aren't the only ones, certainly, and folks should keep talking about the tweaking that HTC has said it will do.

So untill that time, we will be raising the cap on the LW arena to 350, and posibly some what higher before we implement the new system.
Along with the changes we will be disableing the ENY in the EW and MW areans, if long term country inbalances arise , we will reevaluate the use of ENY in those arenas.

Any chance you could tell us what the "new concept " is that will be used to divide 2 idential arenas?

Well, I mistakenly thought a politely framed and documented explanation followed by a question or two would at least merit some sort of informative reply with respect to your views on this new arena/planeset.
Sorry to have bothered you.

at least he didnt tell you to go suck an egg.....:o

No, he did not.
But then I didn't insult him, insult his company, insult his game, predict the imminent demise of AH, or threaten to quit either.
Can there be a correlation between the two?

Glad the cap was raised. This gives us variety with the ability to hit the MA with our squads.

Thank you for the tweak HTC. The extra space in LWA helps a lot. I am much more positive about this evolution as time goes on. In response to the A5 in EWA, gotta have something to perk. You don't see a lot of them & anyone can get stupid in an A5, thus it's less untouchable than a 262 or Tempest.

I think its a good idea. From my experience in EW, the hurri iic is the plane that dominates the arena until eny keeps them down. With eny gone, the iic should be perked.
