All the guys who play the WWI Arena think it needs some more thought into it. It needs more fields, it needs tanks, (There is NOT only 2 tanks, there was accually quite a couple tanks.) It needs new planes, It needs bombers, it needs a Spad, it needs a Newport 17. If you can, and your bored, even make a Zepplin!
Heres some good GV's
England:
Medium Mk A "Whippet"
Rolls Royce Armored Car
Mk V
Germany:
Ernhardt EV/4
A7V (Male, Female and Hermaphrodite.)
"Male" version had two 6-pounders in the front sponsons and machine guns elsewhere, while the "Female" had only machine guns.
"Hermaphrodite" models have a 6-pounder in one sponson and machine guns in the other.
Fun Fact! They also called tanks Landships. Tanks got there name from when the British Goverment told workers they where making water tanks when they where making war tanks. Hence the name. BUT BACK ON SUBJECT.
Go for it Hitech, i just told you basicly everything you need to know... :rock
-vPHANTOM
OH YEAH, And add the Red painting scheme for the DR. I

A "couple" generally means 2.

I love Aces High, but if I want a WW1 fix I go play Rise of Flight.

You don't tank much in the main late war arena do you? Didn't think so - here's a problem - why would people hop in a tank that does 8mph - let alone in the main arena where they won't drive a tank that does 20mph.
WW1 arena could use plenty of upgrades, I would rather HTC focus on the Late War WW2 arena and finish it out before splitting resources into an arena that can't even manage 5 players on a friday night.
/personally I would love an active WW1 arena, not so much tanks as more aircraft - then again its beating a dead horse....
-
I agree with all of this (especially the Spad 13) but how about an SE5 also?

It would be more active if thought was put into it!

Oh maaaaaan. Not a good way to accomplish one's goal here. :aok

I agree with all of the OP's idea except why not include the most famous WWI tank of all, the Renault FT-17?
It would be cool if all the tanks spawned in their respective trenches in no man's land. To accomplish this instead of trenches HT could just put in dirt berms to simulate trenches.
Tethered observation ballons could be used to mark enemy tank positions but when shot down would be like losing radar in the MA's (except ground unit dots would go away).
Bombers would still not be able to destroy fields but be used against enemy ground units.
More stuff for everyone to do couldn't hurt.

Huh? There's tons of tankers in the MA's.

WW1 is my favorite arena. though its skeleton planeset and gameplay make it very limited.
self-defeatists like this guy only reinforce the perception that it has also become just an advertising platform for a competitor making any updates or time investment in it even more unlikely...
so thanks for that Pfactor. go hang out in the Oclub when you feel an irrisistable urge to promote the competition.
-
WW1 is the best fun when there are at least 4 people there. Pure, instant fight. :aok
It could use a couple more planes, but NO tanks plz. Only a vtard can ask for bombers n GVs into a dogfight arena. sigh
As for Fester: possibly PFD never been in that arena. While i can agree with you somewhere, just no need to act like me in my darkest hour.
-
Can't blame the guy! The other game mentioned here is just superior tbh.
As a long time fan of HT's original DOA (which was totally awsome); the ww1 arena here has nothing to offer compared to the competition and doesn't even compare to what DOA was, which is sad.
That had a fuller planeset, zeppelins, player called artillery strikes. Made for a much more interesting experience.
WW1 air combat is actually more fun then ww2 air combat, so its sad that ROF's multiplayer isn't designed like AH.
PS: On further contemplation, the claim some people make that the ww1 arena was just for testing flight models/etc makes sense now!
-

I've been in there.
It's quite obvious that WW1 was only intended as the damage model test bed. Heck, they didn't even put a blip switch on the Dr1 or the Camel.
Sitting around wishing that they would develop the Aces High WW1 game seems silly when there is an option out there that is years of developement time ahead already. Maybe your time would be better spent sitting outside at night looking for a falling star to wish upon.
I would much rather have Hitech and crew working on the WW2 game, leave WW1 to the other guys.
-

From what I understand HTC considered it a test or proof of concept arena for specific things, therefore it has had
thought put into it. It was never meant to be a full resource using era, thus the 4 birds, no bombers or GVs.

Next times your in the LWA look up and count all the LAs, runstangs, run-90s, spixteens....ect. I told them from the beginning they are never going to get these players into a WW1 arena and nothing they could do will change that. Ive found WW1 to be much fun the few times Ive actually seen players in it and joined in.

Problem is 80% of those Las, Runstangs, 190s and spit16s have no clue what ACM is. Nobody ever bothered to train these pilots, can you blame a guy that has only played 2-3 months even 6 months? Some I noticed have been here years (like myself) that never bothered learning ACM.
We have a training arena, however I notice most don't even bother going in there, the tools are available, some will argue they simply don't have enough time. If you have 1 hour a day to play, are you going to bother spending it learning ACM or going to attack a static target? which seems more fun?
I spend my time in the TA on and off, it amazes me how many simply don't ask the questions, heck one of the most asked questions is "What is Situational Awareness?"
Some squads do have in house trainers, although the majority I don't see it.

Methinks the claim of anyone who disengages (whether to re-engage or not) not knowing any of it is slightly exaggerated. ;)
The caption reading "Indian Air Force's Sukhoi Su-30MKIs during a Thach Weave maneuver" put a smile on my face. :D

WOW! It's surprising they don't listen to you! :rolleyes:
The majority of todays players seem to be "gamers". Games are the type of players that rip open the box/download the game, load the game up, turn all the graphics all the way up with out looking to see what the requirements are for the game. Then they jump in the pool with every one else and try to figure out the game on the fly. In most games it's easy enough as they are designed to have all the control function either work in the A,S,W,D area of the keyboard or mated to a gamers mouse. Learning 6-10 commands while playing is easy. Once they get the basics down, they start running around screaming "leroy jenkins!" and think they know everything the game has to offer or that they know enough to be "elite players" at what they do. There is no reason to learn any more. Once frustration or boredom sets in because they limit themselves they do what they always do, buy a new game and move on.
It takes too long for them to learn how to win a fight so they don't play in the WWI arena as that is all there is to do there. The "win" is clearly defined with no room for anything else.

He meant the firefly. Granted the firefly has other things wrong with it besides a slow speed, the slow speed DOES contribute.
And I love the WWI arena. Honestly, the best fights in the game are probably in that arena.

the only way your going to get anyone in the ww1 arena is close the door to the main arena, late war. sad but true, but aces high did a good job the ww1 planes. only reason i dont play is because no one else does.
