I pray its not another one of those dumb "wars".  Coolest thing would be somehow getting the AI that was going to be in CT implemented in the AvA.

I'd still be all over the AvA if the base capture aspect were eliminated or made extrememely unimportant.

I'm not going to join the arena with only 5-10 people in it if 3/4s of them are just landgrabbing.  That's the biggest turn off of the AvA to me.

no offense, but we heard you the first time. and some of us like capture to tie in with the whole war thing. dont want capture, try the off-line arena's. no disrespect intended with these comments  :)

IF, and it's a big IF we get mission scripting in the AvA - the arena will become a very very different place. 

How different? 

What ever players can imagine, and can inspire in a mission, we will create an arena that attempts to simulate WWII aerial combat.  We need to have some conversations first with HTC, but I think we could be onto creating an arena of non-stop missions and aircraft.

You enter the AvA at 4:30pm where 80 + Ju88 bombers and scores of Ju-87 Stuka's plus their live Bf-109E-4 pilots defend their attack on the coast of England at base A10.  Just after you spend an hour shooting down jerries, you land and then start licking your wounds. The field siren fires up announcing another wave of German bombers.  You pick your next weapon... Hurri or Spit?  Or do you change sides and escort bombing raids into England?

We're hoping with the change in direction from HTC on Combat Tour, we can utilize the mission scripting to create an environment that everyone can enjoy.

We hope that have more info soon.

Persoanlly, I did not even realize anyone ever goes into the AvA anymore. Good luck with it.....but not my kind of crowd. Not thin skinned....just dont get much time to fly anymore, and in the AvA, I found I spent more time chasing guys into ack than I did actually doing something fun.

In the first AH, the Combat Arena was alot more about flying.  If it's about realestate, then what's the real difference between any of the arenas?  AvA should be about, "stick and rudder," and leave all the land sharks in the other arenas.
And when will AH get submarines!?  There were such things in WWII.   :salute
