you know, I go into MW and EW to try to find some good 1 vs 1 fights (because you can never get a good fight in MA anymore)...I get a few...but 1/2 the people in there are ranked 50 or less...all they do is milkrun... gets kind of annoying...you finally see a con up from a field...it ends up being buffs...
-
Yup, those MW and EW arenas are stat padding arenas. If you go in and actually find someone to fight, he is going to or coming from a strat target. :rofl

Well since you asked so nicely and said please....................... ....................
No, I dont belive HTC has any plans on removing those arenas.

spikes is a scorewhoere gasp!:o
lol

Would be great if some squad went in there and upped nothing but fighters, then watch the buffs disappear.
:rofl :rofl

Those arenas are the only place you can do a 1 vs 3 and actually expect to come out ok most of the time. Lots of fun and great for the SA, until a ringer comes in and spanks you.:lol

Hehe, EW is a great place to have some fun putting around in a stuka and blowin up GV's too.

Yep, EW & MW could be renamed The AH Dairyland arenas. A lot of it is done by noobs and there are people trying (and in some cases succeeding) in showing them that there is much more to the game. Unfortunately, there are also plenty of individuals and squads that roll in just to pump their scores. Odds are, if you see a guy with a double digit score, that's what he is doing. Heck, I've seen plenty of single digit supermen in there with their squaddies milkin' strat and harvesting dweebs. It won't change until HT decides to change the scoring system to prevent it.
At the same time, there are fun fights to be had. Shamus has been a regular. Toad and Baldeagl too. There are a number of noobs that are starting to get it and if they keep doing what they are doing...they will be good players.

Isn't that fantastic? Free kills for you, and chances are you have ruined someones day for wrecking his points per death score in bombers ;)
I have never seen people more freakin out on all channels after being shot down than in EW & MW for that very reason. It's very satisfying :D

Umm I could nail a load of bombers. Pump up me hit%. Stop guys being higher ranked than me. Become number 1 maybe......... eeekkk the paradox. It's twisting me melon man!

I use the EW as a warmup before switching over to the LW...
I'm fairly new at this game... I fly well, but my gunnery still needs work...
EW is an easy low pressure way, for me to get some fighter stick time...
Just the other day I upped a Zeke, and had a few fair fights with Hurri pilots... Got a kill too... Chased a flight of 88's, shot down a drone, got hit by the gunners, (bloody cockpit) passed out trying to land, and crashed...
Third sortie, upped a Zeke again.... Climbed out to about 6k... Saw a red pip on radar... Figured it was the 88's again.... Nope!!!
It was some perkboy in a P38... He had about 2k in alt on me... I probably should have ran, but I figured this would be a classic fight... Zeke v P38, so why not!!!
He came down fast, from my 2oclock, opened fire a 600yds.... I went full throttle, turned into him, and did a nice corkskrew move... Ha, he missed me.... Pulled around hard, trying to get a shot, but he was already out of range..
We went thru this about 5 times, same results... Then he came in at a steeper angle, I did the same twist move, but split s'ed out of it and finally got a shot at him... 600yds, so I just kind of sprayed at him...
Dont know what happened, but he started RUNNING??? I couldn't catch him, but I followed for awile anyway... Thinking he was going to come back... I lost sight of him, and turned for home... Low on fuel anyway..
I was flared out for landing, wheels down, flaps down... And lo and behold, here's perkboy's P38 shootin at me again... Before I could get my wheels up, he blew my wing off... Boom I died, LOL!!!
I thought, what a dirtbag... Don't know about you guys, but that seemed pretty lame to me... I didn't whine about it, just kept on flyin.... Gettin better all the time.... I'll do the same to him sooner or later..

I have to ask. What on eart made you think you could get a good fight in those arenas? All I ve seen is ack runners and milk runners. MA is your best chance or just ask if anyone wants to DA

MOST of people in EW MW are there for score padding only.
Its beyond me why the scores are STILL linked to LWs. The current scoring system is a joke, too bad its not funny.

I also go into MW (I like the plane set) looking for 1 vs. 1 in my A6M5b without any high-alt pony D's or La's. Problem is there is very rarely anyone else there flying fighters. So I just go into LW and get shot down alot :)

I find great fights in EW when NB is in there.

:huh

There's a few good sticks in EW and MW who are actually there to fight (NB among them) and if you get lucky enough to find them it's fun.
I go there because I love a good one on one and they are easier to find in EW and MW than LW (sorry, not much of a DA guy myself).
Unfortuntely, I was there last night for a while and had fly out to get between the Rooks and Knights (by myself) to find a fight while the rest of the Bish ran bases unopposed.

Well... everytime I shoot down a enemy that can shoot back, I consider it a "fight" ;)

Well, you can find noobs in all arenas. And in addition to that.....let's just say I have been shot down by Ju87's before :o

Was in one of those low peeps arena yesterday trying to fight off 6 Nits attacking base. If I milk I am doin something wrong cause my score dont show it neither does my base captures. I do however like to spoil the milk. Held a base yesterday by my lonsome from the Dirty 30 an Precision guys till they finally did a mass M3 raid on me. I made the mistake to up a Hurri instead of Niki or something with more cannons and the last M3 finally got it when I ran outta ammo(went for troops instead of M3). If I am in those low peeps arenas you very seldom see me on attack usually defense.

I was up for about 30 minutes last night. Three dumps in that time (fargin TimeWarner sux).
Btw, that was one fun fight a few nights ago with you and Pluto vs Shamus and myself. I got cocky after you and Shamus went down. I could have just walked away with 2 kills (I had Pluto smokin' and leakin' gas). Instead, I tried to knife fight him in that canyon. Well, it certainly won't be the last mistake I make. :D

Oh please not another whine thread.:rolleyes:

Yes, that was fun but it seemed to me you guys were both on me and leaving Pluto alone. I didn't realize he was in a Hurri or I would have taken the fight a little lower. Turned out a 3rd 109 jumped Pluto after the two of you went down and he got that one too.
I'm still not used to that 109-F4 but I keep trying it. I think I finally got the convergence on it figured out last night.
NB. I'm sure we'll meet again.

You'll get an even better fight in the Axis Vs.Allies arena, at least in there they don't run from ya.

Convergence??? There's your problem. The Franz has centerline guns. :)

I know that but I usually fly 190's, 110's and 163's set at 650. I was flying the F4 with the center cannon set to 400 and the difference in drop was messing with my lead. I pulled it, and only it, back to 650 and actually started to hit things.
That, however, wasn't my problem the other night. It was dodging both of you guys. I never did get a guns solution that I recall.
