Title: New WW1 Planes Rumoured
Post by: SC-ASP on November 28, 2010, 04:06:33 PM
I heard in the grape vine that there are 4 new planes on the way for WW1 SE5a, SpadXiii, Albatros Dva, Cl2 bommer  :cheers:

That would sure as heck make it far more appealing than it is now.  The DR1 dogfighting arena does tend to stale after a while  :aok

How would more cannon fodder for the DR-1 save the WWI arena? Although I would like to get shot down in an Albatros once. What would make it more interesting to me would be the 15 to 20mph speed and clime advantage in some of the other planes over the DR-1. Everything flys the same speed and seems to clime the same. The maneuverability of the DR-1 over everything else is the only difference I can see. But if more planes will help turn things around I am all for it.

Obviously not. Just mentioned that CL.II was designed as a fighter not as a bomber. It was used as a ground attack aircraft though.

Yes it is ashame.  I revisited the ww1 arena this past weekend.  Would be great to have it expand a bit.  Or to at least know that at some point it will get some development love.

Even if only two new planes were introduced.....ie. the Spad XIII and SE5a........
The WWI Arena would be getting a big boost.

I remember reading several months ago USRanger completed some new terrains.
Hopefully we will see those in the near future.

Title: WW1 Arena ??? Does it warrant further development?
Post by: P0LARBEAR on November 30, 2010, 06:05:27 PM
Just a question, given the WWI arena usage we see everyday since implementation :old::

Would we not be better off if development effort was not devoted to WW1 Arena any more? Would the use of these resoureces not speed up and make the EARLY/MID/LATE WWII Arena's better than they are today? You tried the WWI arena and it did not fly with the Aces High Community, just accept that for what it is and move on  :D

Why would Korea era Arena not be considered?  MIG-15 & F-86 & NEW B-29 etc. ????? Korea War era TANKS and other GV's :-) ????? Have the ACes High Community VOTE on WW1 or Korea War arena's development :-)

Just seems a little used WW1 arena denies server resources and development resources to better utilized WWII arena's  :airplane: and posible development of Korea War era Arena :cheers:

That would pretty much defeat the intended purpose of the WW1 arena.  I'm guessing you didn't even bother to read the original announcements for the WW1 arena and don't know that the WW1 arena is to be used as the "test server" to test new features and updates before being released to the live main servers.  So, to answer your question, no we would not be better off.

You can set up a test server anytime you need it and ask for folks to test it out. Has been done in the past :banana:.

...that unfortunately has almost zero online play and no community to speak of.

For the most part, the western community seems to migrate to SimHQ while the Ruskies stick with the official forums.  I haven't been online for about a month in RoF but I never really had any troubles finding a squadron that was running a server.  Sometimes though, some would be salamanderish and boot you but others would let you stick around.  It seems if you want to play online, it's best to hook up with a squadron.

Whenever I check for servers, it's usually the same one or two and both are password protected. The few times I've managed to get into one, its either a completely lopsided 'mission' that someone is running to feel like the uberleet (D.VIIs against unescorted Bruguet 14s, anyone?) or someone who tells you that he's just 'practicing' and immediately kicks you out.

I'm gonna have to try SimHQ, the NeoQB forums are useless.

There is a small (but very consistent) community in the WW1 arena and all these people including myself pay the same amount of money to play this game. I invite you to one of the events ScTusk organize and maybe you change your mind about the ww1 arena ... please dont hesitate to scream when you find yourself flying at the incredible speed of 150 mph or break a wing in a turn , or if after you hit your opponent for 100 times in a row his plane simply keeps flying because your rounds are not big enough... or maybe after few maneuvers you find yourself in a collision course with the enemy ... yes you need to get close and personal and there is no ubber cannons or 1 hit kill... no wonder it is not for everybody !!!

Making  the ww1 arena bigger and bringing  more effort and more planes to a community that is screaming for it will achieve the same thing ... <Salute>

Hi Tech said the rumor is not true. End of story.

Maybe there will be a poll down the road on what plane or planes we would
like to see in the WWI arena. I left my post awhile back in the Wishlist Forum.
