Title: Axis vs Allies arena setup for WWI
Post by: Sid on October 12, 2010, 12:20:01 PM
It's great to see the Axis vs Allies arena is currently setup for WWI.  :salute

But I wonder how many of the WWI arena regulars know about this. Might be an idea to post a note on the WWI "Arena Message" board.

Went in there yesterday, with no enemy icons and short range friendly icons, makes a big difference (imo). Had some great fights, lost a few, won a few....all round good fun.

Wish I could play more often if thats what its always like.

Um, is AvA arena only open at certain times?

It currently won’t let me switch to the Allied side (Bishops) or select an aircraft on the Axis side (Knights).

just guessing it may be an issue with the patch.. give HTC a little time and they'll get it sorted.  But, in answer to your first question, the arena is open 24 hours a day but there may not be a staff member available.  There's a movie in my signature file re the arena.  The staff may not be around as they are volunteers and presumably have jobs during the day. 

Good Luck

Also, side-switching for numbers balance is encouraged.  To that end, I don't believe there is a timer like in the mains.

Yeah the patch bunged it up a bit, I went in and reloaded it should be fixed now.

I was in MW with the gang last night and decided to try the AvA.  Its been years.  I didn't do very well.  My very first sortie was in a Camel and on the third maneuver against a D7 about 60 feet off the ground my wings snapped.

Just didn't feel like flying against both my plane and the opponents plane.  Will try again today when its maybe not so crowded.  I do like my icons though.

you were too fast. i snapped mine once too. also, try that f2 thing...it's slower reacting, but more forgiving in the stall.
