Title: Something amiss in the new setup?
Post by: Puma44 on June 19, 2011, 01:30:10 PM
When going into the arena, there are no land masses, just carriers.  No aircraft are selectable.  The map doesn't match what the arena message describes.

Ah, never mind.  Just figured it out.  Got to go to the extreme corners of the map.

Respectfully, I like the plane selection but the land bases are too spread apart. People don't like to have to fly so far to engage, especially in AvA.

midway is an island in the middle of no where. thats how its setup. but i also understand your concern and we'll try to lay it out a little better next time.

Confused me, too, first night I flew there.  The trick is that one side will be flying carrier planes against the other side, which will have both carriers and a land base.  The island and carriers in the northwest have one variant (I think American land base and carriers v. Japanese carriers), and the southeast corner has the opposite.  So:  You won't be able to fly land planes against land planes, but the flight times between opposing forces are actually fairly short.  Jump in a plane and fly toward the enemy land base (if you're the carrier-only guy), or away from your land base (if you aren't) and you'll stumble on enemy fleets in no time.

Is there an arena setting that would have made enemy carriers visible?  Then people would have been able to see carriers off their island, instead of thinking they have to fly from one island to the other to find a fight.

no, not really.  but if they had read the motd, it said there were 3 enemy carriers and 2 defending carriers at each island. you have a good point though, most people dont read motd.
