They already have their own arena.  It's called the Late War Arena. Compliance is voluntary though.

You do realize that when you remove the old top scorers you would have a new top 1% ? Remove them and then the next top 1% etc and soon you don't have enough people left for a horde.

We definitely need more people like this in the game.  The rest of you have become so g'damn boring.

I've got a better solution:

We should force all noobs to go through a 2 hr training session in the TA, so that they might be capable of doing something without having to be taught on the job.

Noobs should also accept that they're noobs, and that they can't pwn teh other pplz lyk on teh ex-boxz. I'm not in the top 1%, but if there truely is a horde of noobs, then even can slaughter them with ease. They're noobs, and there hasn't been a noob yet born that can hold his own against even the crappiest vet.

...so...like, there's a way to move up from noob to vet...and it keeps on going....?

You're confusing vets with top scorers.  :D

I think we should have an in-built, 2 week training session, in the use of punctuation! :old:

I think squads should train their guys on the da instead of using new guys for fodder while they perch to "clear sixes" and land 10 kills.

I deliberately left a horde squad for one that actually trained.

i don't know if forcing a new player to 2 week or any time training peroid is a good idea--win i was new i liked jumping in,and learn the hard way-to me that was and still is fun for me.and some people are just trying out this game because it's 2 free weeks.then they leave.most people learn from their mistakes..find what they did wrong-and try something else. :joystick:

Forcing people to play a certain way is the biggest complaint on the BBS... oddly, its also the biggest request  ;)

It's just a cheap trick.

The behavior police, they live inside of the game
The behavior police, they all whine the same
The behavior police, they're coming to arrest me, oh, no

You know they talk of the shame
And those rumors ain't nice
And when I play the game
I don't think of it twice

'Cause they're waiting for me
They're looking for me
Every single night
They're whining me insane
Those players project shame

The behavior police, they live inside of the game
The behavior police, they all whine the same
The behavior police, they're coming to arrest me, oh, no

Well, I can't play my way
'Cause they're waiting for me
On the runway
And they'll whine bout me tonight, tonight

Its the difference between  a sim and a game.  That whine doesnt hold weight here.  Probably hard to see at first but if you stick around you will see. Join a squad.

he scared at the thought of losing easy kills even world of warplanes a very lame game dose not let you play until training flights completed
snailman should do a chart on the top tour guys how many 2weekers and averge ppl they kill i think the shame would improve game!

Consider training. I shot hundreds of thousands of offline drones over the years. With a correct flight plan and half decent gunnery everyone is a threat in the MA. It is a difficult game and you can't expect equaling the top sticks in a few weeks/monthes/years...some people never do.

I was in an ingame discussion the other day with a few guys, it seems the first thing we all did in this game, WB or AW was try and shoot a friendly down. Don't deny the new guys such a reminiscing experience like this by making them train.

I think you'll find the ratio of new players killed compared to those with some playing time will be less, mostly due to the numbers of existing players compared to '2 weekers' though some existing players that have played for years fly no better than a 2 weeker.

Look at it this way.  There will always be a top predator and there will always be sheep.

A voluntary newb arena wouldnt be a bad idea.

Airwarriro had a decent setup where you could go to the newb arena an stay until you reached a certain amount of points each for fighters and bombers For example. Once you achieved a certain score in say fighters. You could up fighters but they would not have any ammo. Same thing with bombers. then you would more or less be forced into one of the MAs

Good squads do work  with other squadmates weaknesses and learning new moves.
The DA Really isnt the best place for training with the private arenas now , just make a room up
