We need something to break up the monotony of the Melee Arena! I was thinking back to when they took away the M3 for a couple of weeks and we were stuck with the slow SdK-251 for trooping bases and everyone lost their minds over it. It did change the game play and posed a new challenge. I was thinking if we had a list of tweaks to the main arena and one was randomly picked and implemented for a week or two in order to change things up. Like previously stated no M3s or it takes fifteen troops to capture a base or double the hardness of hangers or no T34-85s or full radar etc. etc. It certainly would not be hard to do, the players could keep coming up with tweaks and we could change them with a frequency that it doesnt destroy anyones life.

Some weekly events would be nice. Some games do login bonuses and others do challenges where you actually have to participate (rather than just login).
Off the top of my head, double or triple perk weekends either outright, or for certain planes/types/categories might convince some people to login.
Discounts on certain plane/GV types for a day or two, eg. Half price Tiger weekend or half price Tempest weekend. Possibly raise ENY on certain planes for a day or two and they'll get used for perk farming, eg. raise P-47D-11 ENY to 60 for a day and watch the carnage. :)

Make a week or two of MidWar only

...stop in to AvA...?

We definitely dont need half off tempests.
Changing the "rules" of the game would mix up gameplay though and create new challenges.

Why not a Mid-War Monday or something goofy?
Early-War Wednesday?

Because some people will throw a fit if they cant fly their favorite 5 eny plane.
Other incentives may need to exist to mix it up more. Increasing perk or score points for lower ENY planes or increasing ENY effects further to reduce #s imbalances are things I'd advocate for personally. Gets tiring seeing massive imbalances rolling maps and making everyone log.

The AVA on MNM is a hoot.

Hey atlau I mean no disrespect but GET OUT OF THE 262!!! :devil
IMO, what is missing is Zoning where more important bases or areas are worth more perks or 'bonuses'. This would create areas where fighting is an interest.
I wouldn't mind seeing a night where only mid war planes or early war planes could be flown. The map would have to be smaller with closer bases. (The original problem to those arenas in the first place).
I wish more planes would be minorly perked to create a little more balanced arena.
Literally any incentive to get players in mid war planes would be good. Any incentive to make the fights appear bigger.

But what? I'm just offering suggestions. Sure..."change stuff to make it better" is easy to say but we need ideas. My ideas get people to login and fly (possibly). I'd take an extra 30 people in an arena flying perk rides than nothing at all.

I only fly the 262 when the hordes are rolling.
This tour the ki84 is my main ride! Last tour the n1k, previously the g14, c205, etc! Not sure what I'll try next but changing it up and learning new planes is how I've been trying to keep the fights fresh.

The OP had brought up no M3s or 15 troops. Both those sound interesting. How about 3 troops and only need a town decked for the capture for jeep captures.
Rather than free tempests I'd rather see a day where the only plane available is the ki43 :)

You don't need everyone from the MA to do something different. Like the other events, instead of changing the MA, those who wish could just do a different event in another arena. Use whatever idea you like, plus it's scored separately, for what that's worth. If people aren't interested then they probably wouldn't like the MA changing either. Leave the complainers behind and do what you want with like minded players.

That would be a good way to make sure nobody flies that day.

Have you tried ww1? It's a blast when there are 10 people in There!

I was with you until you said "no T34-85s" but everything sounds great.... I think bringing back hitting HQ to knock out radar at all bases would bring back more Bomber Raids and Patrols. But you have to make the HQ hard enough that it will take more that just 1-2 bombers Something that will take planning and effort like 4-6 Bombers.

Yea, but they aren't Oscars.

Altimeters in AH are missing the knob to use that. Always 1013.

there's enough bomber raids as it is

if you take out the T34-85, then you need to take out the TigerII and T1, and maybe be even the Panther.
but hell you get the uneven gv fights on Thursday night tanks fights-which hardly anybody showed up for any way
