Title: Re: World War I Arena
Post by: 1pLUs44 on October 19, 2009, 05:45:00 PM
Just a few things that I think would make the arena better if HTC hasn't already implemented them.

1. New Airfields, basically just dirt strips with tent hangars for small ones. Not really sure how you could basetake, I'm guessing a troop truck or something of the sort that can be strafed?

2. Along the 3 lines (or 2, not sure how HTC wants to do it this time), there's trenches, and a "no mans land" (again, could work if there isn't any base taking) that the planes could fly and fight over, and they moved as the bases moved if there's base taking.

That's about it off the top of my head, tell me what you think.

Wasn't any real movement in Western front trench warfare, (after the initial flurry in 1914)... A little at the end too, but not much...
Trenches prevented that... I'm guessing, but this looks like it would be the perfect furball only arena!!!

okay, then eye candy, just trenches between the sides of bases. So it looks like WWI is happening below as you're fighting.

How about no base capture at all?  You might actually see air combat then. :banana:

You haven't lived until you try to cap a base by landing at it unscathed. Fun as anything. :)

Back in Warbirds before the Ju-52, the way to capture a base was to land on concrete after all the field objects were down.  It was SOP to slam down wheels up as fast as possible before any field objects popped.

I'm still hoping for no base capture in WW1.  The ground war in the west was nearly stagnant slaughter, as you probably know already.

Do we get to fly over enemy airfields and drop notes about killed pilots?

Do we get to all go out drinking together after we survive being shot down?  :cheers:

This thread is worthless since it's going to be a DOGFIGHT ARENA.

It's funny how nobody can ever appreciate what we have, and will have..........  Always more then we have is what's needed.  That will never change.

The announcement said it would be a dogfight arena.

It also says this will be an initial release. No where did they say that the WWI genre
will only and always be a fight-vs-fighter environment.

Well, I hope that it has two, and only two, sides in whaever form the arena develops into.  Allies on one side and the Central Powers on the other woud be a nice departure from the MAs, no Camel vs. Camel fights!

Hell, its better than 262 vs 262.....

Lol, anyone else know that one of the main reason the allies had reliable repeating gear was that a German landed his folker at an allied aerodrome?

Shouldn't the WW1 Arena give us more choices than just dogfighting? Their was also bomber missions, ship to ship battales, submarine's attacking merchant ships, Zeppelins used to hit Britain, Motors, Gas shells, even Railguns hitting Britain, a whole variety for the new WW1 Arena. We shouldn't just limit it to dogfighting, if anything we gotta put effort into making it.

Really, there doesn't have to be 95% of the arena population to have it count as a dogfight. This may supprise you but the fights with 20+ people count as dogfights. So do the ones with 2 people...

I totaly agree with that. It will be nice to be able to dogfight without worring about one of the teams taking all the bases. :)
