Tired of the same ol same ol in AH? Figured out yet that plane additions are at a dead end pretty much? Well.... How bout an early war arena? Yep, Spit ones, Hurri's, F4F-3's, P40's and 39's... Zekes and vals and Me110's and 109E's and Mig ones an.... Well, the list is long.
A seperate arena. A whole different type of fighting. More action with some fancy acm and furious furballing. A whole new set of planes with a different mindset. Maybe a map with the fields closer together for the early rides so that their slower speeds don't become too frustrating.

I'll play.
Was thinking maybe the PAC could be early war stuff when it comes out. It would be a nice change for those who like Japanese planes to have an (historic) advantage. I'll fly F4F's and P-40's for them to shoot at. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

ohh god acm with out the option of runnin at mach .9999 ohh yea
-
thanks for the support guys... i really do want a "general early war' arena tho where all early war rides can exist. A place where ACM get's a shot at being a skill like patience and squad choice are "skills" in the late war arena.

No Fw190?
Sorry guys that arena is not for me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
yes! That would be cool.
I'd like to fly a CR42 or a Gladiator...

Would love the early war option. Especially so if it was setup on axis vs Allied lines.
With rotateing terrains per TOD, like BOB, CBI, N Africa, etc, it would rock!

How about an arena where we run around in bare feet and throw rocks at each other? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Instead of posting here, you should all email HT at some point. Kinda like callin your congressman...hope HT listens more keenly than MY congressman (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

It's hard enough just to get a few people to fly 109f's vs spitv's in H2H for even one round. Maybe the mission builder/arena controls will get easier to use inorder to have fewer planes possible at times. Otherwise its ffa and blow'm away.

<shameless plug on>
If ya give me some arena keys, I'll set up a daily/weekly T&B delight with what we have. Spit 5 vs 202. We could run for a few hours a day to let people slosh it out, then switch it up once more planes come up. Historical matchups only of course.

Thus spake Rude:
"How about an arena where we run around in bare feet and throw rocks at each other?"
ROFL!
That being said, I would enjoy an early war arena also. I'm sure the required planeset is somewhere in HTC's plans.
This sim is great fun now, and there is still much to look forward to.

Being a dedicated TnBer-I'm in!P-40 anyone?

ok funked ur right.... I was a trifle harsh and may have frightened away a few of the ego impaired so..... Patience and squad choice will still be viable skills in an early war arena. HT could make a 109E turn better than a Spit one and about the same as a Hurri so as not to upset the AH "balance" also. 110's could turn better than F4F-3's also to keep up with tradition.

Hehe little did Rip and Funked realize that their little recruiting trips would net LAZS! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Be careful what you wish for...
(Don't forget to consider the...er...gallstone of truth that is almost always at the heart of a Lazs post)
Still waiting for the Corsair to outturn the 190 so I can do my free trial... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

jedi!!!! LOL "galstone of truth...." jedi the penultimate ambasador. As for the Hog... don't count on it... (some)People in here actually think it is fine the way it is.
jedi... you will get a kick out of this board. The constant daisy chain of self congragalatory back slapping and pomposity will be fertile ground for you.
Admit it funked... if they do make a 110 outturn a Wildcat.... you will defend em.

Give me Brewster or Fokker D.XXI (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
even curtis hawk would do fine.
(of course, under FAF insignia!)

Actually Lazs, the Bf 110C has only a slightly higher (1 or 2 lb/ft^2) wingloading than an F4F-4. They would likely be close enough in turning performance that an Wildcat pilot who was new to the sim might find himself out-turned by an Expert in the 110, causing the Wildcat pilot to whine about it on several bulletin boards.

or, put another way.... They are close enough that if the 110 were given only a 20% advantage in turn over the Wildcat an expert appologist might be able to dismiss the unfair advantage without looking too silly.
