If I'm right, the technology between Vietnam and Korea were worlds apart, Korea was still gun fighting, not missiles.

That was a problem early in the Vietnam war. With all the "rules of engagement" imposed on our pilots by McNamara's whiz kids, airplanes like the F-4 were at a disadvantage. The Migs had guns, we only had Sidewinders and such. We learned our lesson though and those aircraft without built in guns began carrying gun-pods.

Game. Set. Match?

It's true, though. WW1 arena has little or no real objective. It gets old. Even our beloved MA gets dull at time with the same strategy (we need a slight revamp IMO). Anyhow, to stay on track, I believe a "jet only" arena would not spawn a whole lot of interest.

well, from an old screenshot pyro released of te b29 in "hitechs" hanger before it was released, in the background you see a fully modeled&skinned mig15 and f82 sabre.

plus we have the b29. a korean era bomber.

we have the t34's which served in korea.

we have the shermans (but not the right model for korea).


now all we need is the pershing.

and we have everything needed to get a korean arena going  :aok

So it spans more than WW@ and the 1 WW! Arena??? I know some of the AC began with some service in Korea, but you know what I mean Irish. The Meteor would be the only other Jet that could be added to AH, and it only flew in the last weeks of the war.
Title: Re: Jets,Jets, Jets
Post by: SmokinLoon on June 05, 2011, 10:49:52 AM
No.

If HTC is going to add another jet, let it be the Glostor Meteor Mk III and then shelve the idea of adding in more jet aircraft for at least 5 years. 

Forget the Korean War (no reverse pun intended), and maybe add in a wee bit more into the WWI arena.  There are MANY things to update, add, and hone in the WWII realm, the list in never ending.  :)

I'd much rather see the Gloster Meteor or the He-162.  Getting more Me-262 variants would be up there as well - I'd like to play with dive bombing in one, and I'd like to see the R4M rockets vs the B-29.

no@ the rockets, it would be the disaster of the old 210mm anti-air rockets all over again.

the me262 is deadly enough, lets not give it even more firepower.

theres an easy way to kill a 262 in a bomber. just start firing when you got an open shot and hes less than 1.5k away...works for alot of people.

there effective range really can differ from pilot to pilot. ive had people shoot down my B24's from 2k away in F6F's with rockets. if people can do that with normal rockets imagine what could happen with R4M rockets

So in a nutshell you're saying to expend many many resources to open an arena which is bound to fail and once it does, close it down. I'd rather spend $14.95/mo in the hopes resources will be allocated differently.

How is a Korean areana "bound to fail"?

Post by: DeadStik on July 07, 2011, 04:56:32 PM
How is a Korean areana "bound to fail"?

AvA and WW1 arenas have an incredibly small following. I blame this largely on the lack of objective involved. Constant furballing with no goal or reward gets old pretty quickly. I tried the WW1 arena for a bit. At first it was fun because it was new and different. Then after one hour I was bored and didn't bother again. My prediction of a Korean arena is stemmed purely from the past trend of similar arenas.

IMO if HTC adds a jet fighting arena then they will not only be able to advertise a larger coverage of gameplay but they will also get a large group of people joining that are looking for early jet fighter multiplayer games.  They are not easy to come by, I've looked.

Personaly I think It would be cool if there was an arena for jet fighters made during and before the Korean war just to add some variaty and to see how they would stack up against each other.

Only place the mig/sabre would fit into the game would be in there own Korean arena.
Things we have towards the arena:

Bombers-
America:The B-29 is already in game.
Russia: the TU-4 would not be hard at all to model from the B29.

Fighters-
America: The Corsairs and Mustang can be used to model there korean counterparts. and from that pic we have the Sabre.
Russia: we have Yaks, and from that pic we have the Mig15

Tanks-
America: We have shermans, just not the right model.
Russia: We have both models of the T34.


That should be enough to get an arena up&running. HTC is most likely just shy to create a korean arena now with the failure&lack of numbers the ww1 arena has.

i say take away early war server and retrofit it for korea...so not much is lost or spent on new servers....  it may get empty as ww1, but at least, we have a choice they could make it strictly an arena just for the sabre's and migs.... but thats just my take...
