The most i saw in the CT during the hollidays was 40 players. But mostly the numbers was around 10 - 20 players max...
I´m an bit dissapointed at this :( , could this have been due to the hollidays, people being away etc?
What can one do to help promote this arena? everytime you try to promote CT in the main you almost get flamed...

There will be over 40 in the CT tonight maniac. We're having a sqads night in there tonight. Gonna try to make it a weekly thing. Pilots are encouraged to get their squadrons in there and run some missions. This should be a blast.
I get dissapointed in the attendance at times myself. Then there are nights like last night when I log in and there are 30 or so pilots having a blast. Those times are pretty encouraging. Thanks for your interest in the CT and for flying there so often.

Ok i will check it out tonite for sure...
Will email this to my squad also...
Regards.

Had great fun in the CT last night. While the number of people was not huge (maybe 20 or 30 at most), we had a blast. I plan on spending most of my time there if the numbers will allow it.

Im loving every second of the CT. The best thing is that the numbers doesnt matter. Yesterday when I came on we were just 4 LW pilots in there against 4-5 Allies. Didnt matter one bit, we flew a couple of missions and had a blast. Later we were about 10 per side, and it was awesome.
Yesterday I had my most fun night on AH (that wasnt Bigweek or TOD naturally), Im not going back into the MA.
<S> to all who flew there yesterday.

last night was fun 8 to 9:30 est
mainly 51b's & spit v's against our 109's.
great fun even thought the numbers were only 2 on 2 when I started & about 10 allies to 5 axis when I had to log. Though the numbers were low, there weren't any dweebs.
<S> to all of them, it was the way AH should be.
fun & respectful.

S!
I saw 47 the first time I logged in and 39 the second time.
I think we can expect to start slow. But as we learn what the players like, and improve our setups, I think we will increase our numbers.

I love the CT.
only problem is that usually when i'm online there are up to 10 plyers there, and it becomes more like a dualing areana, only harder to find the fight.
on the other hand, when numbers goes over 20-25 (rarly seen by me) players, things start to roll and it kicks arnold!
I suppose that most people are like me. if they see 10 people in the CT on the areana menu, they don't bother comming in - therefor only few come in...
we need to find a way to drag people into the CT on common basis. I just can't wait to see what happens when numbers goes over 60 :)

CT is awesome... haven't flown the MA in a week.
bozon, give it time, and keep on flying there. Don't be afraid to fly LW or Allied to balance numbers.

Hi again, how did it turn out? i was on the whole evening, but being in europe i guess this event started to late for me...
Regards.

We didn't have as many as we had hoped for. I saw 48 in there at one time, but that's not really bad, there were a few fellas who said they didn't have enough time to round up their squads. I saw the 13th TAS with about 5 in there, Rampaging Rooks of Retribution and 56th Ftr group also had a good turnout. My squad had a decent showing.
I heard more positive than negative comments, I think this will grow in time.
Thanks all who participated.

Organizing a weekly "CT" night is a good way to promote the arena. Such a weekly event is what kept AirWarrior's Full-Real Axis vs Allies arena alive, and it was fun, too.
Also, when building new terrains keep your player base in mind--don't design a terrain for 500 people when only 50-100 at most are likely to be there. A 64 x 64 terrain is big enough; nothing larger than 128 x 128 is necessary.

Flew in the CT arena for the first time last night.. about 40 on at that time. Ran into squad mates flying for the LW..eeewwww.
BUT ya KNOW WHAT. IT WAS a BLAST!! (especially when I dropped the 500KG bomb to low and blew myself up) LOVED it, felt like Big Week again.. Hope this works out!
Gorf ;)

I was 'busy' over the holidays but am back now.
Since the scoring is in place now I think that many more will move to CT. Its what my squad (LuftJagerKorps) has wanted all along.

Tues.1/1/02.I saw upwards of 50 people in the CT.Our squad has 4 in it right now and we are talking about a squad night with the whole squad.Some of us are coming in when the MA gets over 400 people in it and becomes mainly a furball.
We have some problems.Our squad logo is not on the planes and we have no squad statistics,but we can message on squad channel and RW.Any one know why ?

Yep I remember last week MA was 470 and CT was over 50. And there was a gang of mean 190s and 109s flying for the dark side around fields 60 and 61 :D It was pretty cool.
About the problems: well our squad has similar probs. we can talk on squad channel our kills come up in log witch our squad name but in stats it sayz that our squad has been disbanded BUT the numbers of kills etc seems to be ok. Im not sure about the logos since there are no ext views for fighters so Il haver to check to take buff to see if logo shows ok... But maybe this tour its gonna be ok.. (do the stats reset as the MA stats do?)
