Make sure you guys come fill up the skies in the madhouse that is a WWI furball. Even just 10 minutes will make your heart race and palms sweat.

wwi flying is just about the most fun that can be had in AH. I really love that arena when people are in there. I might join.

What I love is that it's pure dogfighting. You really can't run or dive away. Altitude advantage really matters very little so there's no alt monkey bnz stuff.

Plus, I find that the people are pretty great

I hope you people are getting ready for some crazy fights. 90 minutes of pure adrenaline, in less than 3 hours. Imagine WWI arena x 40. It will be epic!

I had fun.

A lot of twisting, turning fights, with plenty of wood and fabric pieces scattered about the terrain.

Because it has always been New Year's Eve, not the day before.  I missed it too, for the same reason.  :frown:

I got on for about 20-25 minutes. Had something like 14 sorties, with 13 assists a a couple kills. My aim is even worst in those planes!  LOL! Im not much for furballs, but it was fun for a bit. Them planes flip flop all over the place made it fun just flying.

I like the way the damage model works on those planes. A lot of the "minor" damage really affects the way they fly. And the performance of the  planes, the over-rev, and the way they will fall apart like toothpicks if you push them too much. I love flying right on that edge.

And the turning and looping. It's so much fun!

Glad you guys had fun.

I am sorry. To be fair, the subject header and my OP said December 30 and I did not say New Year's Even Party, but New Year Party.

I hope all can attend next year.
