Baltic map is currently up and appears to be very recent. Yesterday it was Mindinao...which was used a lot back in the AH I days.

Just curious, is there any other aircraft that could be added to EW to draw more interest?

I think it's more about the fact that many people are unable or unwilling to fly anything but fast planes with lots of cannons or lots of .50cal than anything else.  I get the feeling that people have developed the attention span of a 5-year-old and don't want to spend more than 2 minutes in the air to get to a fight.  Half of the fun is forming up with squaddies/friends, climbing out and BS-ing en route.

Would it be fun if more people came to EW to fight and have fun?  Yes.  More means more fun.
Would it be fun if all the crap flung on 200 came with them?  No.  Most rational people don't want to put up with other people's crap.
Is there a good solution for populating the non-LateWar arenas?  Yes.  But, it relies on people - and people are inherently unreliable.

Bet if there was an overall score that calculated all arenas into it there would be plenty of score monkeys in there to kill.
