Been awhile since I been in TA, but I think there are designated fields for bombers, fighters, and GVs. Were you at the right field?

yep, main field, but even then when at the rook bases north of the bish bases you could pick all but me-163

I'll enable the 163/262 at A12 for now...

As far as I know, there is no way to enable arena settings at one field and not another.

Dudes can be killed in DA. TA is there for teaching & learning, not getting kills :)

yes, but you gotta learn the sweetspot of hitting the plane and you wont know w/o parts falling off

Enabling that would be bad for the TA
Not only, because griefers or clueless dolts will interfere with training sessions and shoot other players out of the sky just because,
but also because it's a great advantage for training purposes NOT to have to reup each time you are hit.

It's very simple: If you want to inflict damage, you can do it in DA. There is no reason you can't practice there.

yeah, i guess you could pick your friends, and you could pick your nose, you can also pick a hole into your friends body with a bullet in DA  :rofl, so never mind about this, unless they make a new arena for free for all.

That's how the DA used to be, but it was changed since and probably not by mistake.

Why so gung-ho about shooting down friendlies to "train"?  As pointed out, the DA is perfect for training if you want to be able to damage/down a plane.  Yeah, you can't be on the same side, but you can tune to a vox channel from 200-299 (or squad if you're in the same squad) and talk across sides.  No reason to turn off killshooter for the whole arena just so you can down a friendly.

The DA with killshooter off was ideal for getting a group of people together for 1v1's...  "Check 6" is a much easier way to start a fight than trying to have 10-16 people communicate who they are and what they're engaging over one shared channel.

Unfortunately, with the success of furball lake, I don't think we could ever go back to that...

So.... How about leasing me some server space, HiTech? :)

I think those days of "check 6" fighting will return when we get member paid H2H rooms.
