Title: Put the WWI Planes in the Main Arena
Post by: Mano on September 23, 2011, 05:57:39 PM
Most Vehicle Fields are close and flying time to the fight would be minimal.

Small Areas of the Terrain could have WWII Planes and GV's deactivated to allow the WWI'ers to have some fun.
If there were only a few fields set up for WWI, impact on winning the war for the WWII'ers would not be effected.

There would never be an empty arena for WWI

Just an idea!

Flown wwi for a long time...have thought about this before.  Seems when smaller groups get split off to unique arenas, they tend to disappear unless the arena is continually improved.  Have not found a wwi arena yet that was continually improved.  And, then, they tend to go empty as the stale arena finally gets old.

If a small corner of the primary arena was dedicated to wwi, Mano is likely right, there would always be someone there and at the least you would not have to leave your wwii situation to go check and see if anyone was in wwi.

There is an obvious down side.  There are always folks who would find it enjoyable to fly whatever distance with wwii equipment and disrupt the cloth and wire guys....but might be worth that to fly a little more often.

Diversity of options in any arena likely attracts and satisfy more folks than anything less diverse...if it does not detract from the arena as a whole.

Will be interested to watch the posts.

How about just adding the I15 to the WWII planeset?

you can put any plane you want in the ma.  but it doesnt mean people are going to use it more than let's say the ww1 arena.  a fricking goon as more firepower in the ma than them ww1 planes.

Quite a few planes have the same loadout as the WWI planes.

I was just thinking that the DR1 would probably have its way with a Stuka.  Unless there is a good back seater involved.

How?  Other than turning the Stuka holds all of the cards.  It would be like saying a D3A1 would have its way with an Me262.

The effective range of the WWII guns, even the .303s, are much longer as well.  The introduction of the "De Wilde" bullet in 1940 also doubled the effectiveness of the RAF's .303s.

-1.

I see this happening:

-HTC gets rid of WW1 arena.

-Island is created with only ww1 planes enabled.

-Gathers a small crowd of furballers.

-WW2 aircraft begin to regularly invade the ww1 furballers airspace to pick the obsolete planes off for easy kills.

-WW1 pilots come on BBS complaining about it.

-HTC removes WW1 planes from MA.

-Reopens WW1 arena.


THen the cycle would just keep repeating after awhile.

So, two drone Me262s were shot down, and it doesn't matter if it was AI or a person controlling those Me262s, they were drones the way they were used.  That does not change what I said at all.  If you like we can go duel Ju87 vs any WWI fighter.

no... they weren't drones - just two squaddies laughing their butt off I upped a Dr.1 - of course they thought they would tease me with flying slow so... I did what any good tard would do and kill the laughing hyena's

How about some more WWI planes and objectives?  I still say we need Zeppelins like CV's in WWI and Zep Hangars to bomb with the 'bombers' and stop the zep spawn for an additional 15m or something.  Zeps can then be used to bombard enemy fields and shut them down.  In true WWI fashion, nothing will actually happen, and no ground will be won or lost, but a ton of people and things can be blown to pieces!
