Title: Midwar was kinda cool today
Post by: Carwash on August 19, 2007, 09:05:53 PM
I don't often fly MW or EW, but today when LW was having problems most everyone jumped in MW.  It was a blast.  Flew some planes that I don't normally fly.  I think I'll try the Ki-61 in LW.  Bet even I could land some kills in it.

Geez, lighten up, huh? 20 years ago we would never have dreamed of having a game like this to play from home with people all over the globe, much less for only $.50 per day. This electronic stuff does break down once in a blue moon and the rest of the time it runs damned near flawlessly. Be cool.

Yeah, fifteen whole dollars...just gone, out the window!  And HTC won't even accept the equivalent amount in food stamps.  Bastards.

I for one supported the arena splits.  Got boring quick.


Last night when we were cruising in and 3 of us  weaving and rolling  to see   20-25 red cons  all twisting and turning beneath us.   Not much was said  but  Tally ho!   and INNNNNN!!!!  

Mindless anarchy or organised chaos of one arena put the thrill back into the FURBALL!

Loved every second of that.

Heaven forbid if everyone couldn't fly the latest and greatest :)

When Midwar is working, some of the best air to air is in that arena as the matchups are fun.

Best of both worlds without the LA7s 16s and all the late war uber iron that the fragile egos have to fly so they can think being an AH 'pilot' means something :)

I think it was HTC's diversion to get people to play in mid war and early war arenas:noid

A "full" MW arena was fun.......... I guess any arena when well attended can be fun.............

I can see how the twin boomers may prefer MW:p

Tilt said it all in a nut shell. "full"

Heck, even I had a blast for the 1st time in a long time in the "full" mid war arena. :aok thumbs up to that !

I am typically seen these days in either a Ki-61, P38J or 109F4 or K4 (in practice for the upcoming scenario).   The Ki-61 is VERY capable in the LWA.    Most will regret trying to "pounce" on it, thinking incorrectly of the "stick" flying it, and arrogantly thinking "Ahh, Ki61 = easy kill".     They are in the tower 8 times out of 10.  

I enjoy turning it moderately.   Those cannon do quick work as well.

BTW, I'm an average stick.

Title: LW to MW convert!
Post by: waystin2 on August 20, 2007, 11:52:28 AM
If the play continues like last night, I will visit the MW more often.  It really makes you focus on skills, and not rely so heavily on the latest and greatest.  It was good times!

Yeah, but I've never seen so many LA5's in the MW before!!

Wish I'd been able to be there.  I'd loved to have had some Mossie time in a full Mid-War arena.

Maybe now that people have seen how much fun MW can be, maybe they will frequent it more often

I've been flying in the MW arena for several weeks now because most of the time I can get a good 1v1 fight with someone that knows some acm. The overrated LW arena is overflowing with 2 weekers in spit16s and la7s. Not to mention the 262s and 163s looking for the pick and run.

I think MW is my favorite arena as long as there are a few people there.  I love the plane set and the fact that it's not overcrowded, although it could use about 100 players instead of 35 on a regular basis.

Maybe if eveyone had fun this weekend a few more will log in and get the ball rolling.
