Title: WWI Arena Night
Post by: perdue3 on September 17, 2010, 01:37:27 AM
A few squaddies and i went to WWI arena tonight and had a blast. It reminded me of how much fun I had when it had first come out. 2 of the 4 arenas being capped and the other having 50 or so. I believe that we could easily revamp the arena with a simple set date each month to have a good showing. Let's try and get as many people as we can in WWI Arena for Saturday, October 2nd starting aroun 9 PM EST. If we can get atleast 20 guys I would be happy. Any more would be fantastic. Nothing beats a good, clean, raw furball full of sticks using raw skills.


All are welcome and I hope to see you there! I already have 5 or 6 that are going to be there. Tell your squaddies!

Saturday, Oct 2nd, 9 PM EST.  :airplane:  :banana:

Hmmmm Sat 9pm EST (USA) = 11am Sun Australian Central Standard Time. Yep I can manage that, I'll give my squaddies a heads up also. They can figure out their own time zones though  :headscratch:

Went to the WWI arena got 4 kills in 9 sorties with 0 landings. Then I fell asleep while flying two sectors to where the fight was... Might be mor fun if they put the bases closer together...

I'm surprised the special events people haven't organized a weekly event in there.

Couldn't they just set up one of the SEA arena with a special map?  They can enable anything they want in there, right?  WWI planes, and maybe jeeps and light vehicles to give variety to just a WWI aerial furball event.

Neg, you pull back and kick hard left rudder to go right; it's all to do with gyroscopic effects and the Dark Side  :devil

its intention is to catalyze the frequent use of the arena again, time is irrelevant.

I know that theres a date dutch but the hope is it'll get it started again. last new ideas that HTC came up with that were any good to me were ww1 arena and the I-16. So far im the only one keeping the spirit of I-16 dweebery alive :banana:, and a few others are keeping kite dweebery alive.

Im going to email/call Skuzzy to petition for a WW1 arena Thread here in the forums. I think it would be useful considering we have an AvA thread.

It's been suggested before: An WWI Specific Forum (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,286496.msg3632507.html#msg3632507) , but it still gets my vote  :aok

Great to see a decent number in attendance, seemed like everyone had fun. I strongly suspect that with a more historical aspect, including but not restricted to

1. a two country system, i.e. Allied and Central each flying only historically correct a/c
2. dar linked to observation balloons, which can be attacked (and defended)
3. small bombs made available and some stuff to use them on, or at least the ability to straffe a/c on the field (field ack wound back)

..... we would see numbers like that more often. It was good fun anyway, but could be so much better with just a few small changes.

Twas fun.  Well, not too much fun, but fun none the less.

Some of us not used to the aircraft died more to wing snaps and engine issues than to enemy pilots.  I found it amazing that a bi-plane can actually fly pretty good without the top wing.  And the visibility is 100% better.
