In honor of that anniversary, only allow planes active on 12/7/1941 to fly in the main arena. Its only one day and it would allow people to try those planes against similar foes without having to deal with the late-war and Perk planes. Could be a fun day!!
-
It isn't a bad idea actually. A tribute to those who passed at Pearl....I like it.
-
Got my vote!
-
I can hear the One Trick Ponies whining already....
-
Hurri I's, Spit1's, Wildcats, A6M2's, C202's, Emils...damn, sounds almost as much fun as the free Me262 day was.
I hope this gets HT's attention, we need some sort of 'special' set-up days to change the flavor of the MA on occasion.
-
I'm in, but popeye is right. I'd put money on we'll see "Do it in the CT".
-
FAN - F***inG-stastic idea!!! Definitely have my vote. :D I can hear the whines now.... Sweeeeeet......
heheheh :p
-
How about every kill with a zeke or P-40 get's you 1000 perk points. Limiting the MA doesn't have to be the only way to commemorate the date.

I vote aye! This would be great.
Too bad there aren't any Pearl Harbor maps that could be made ready to be active on Dec 7 as well.

We should do this like the Iraqi parlament.
All those in favor, say aye!
All those wishing to be killed in the courtyard immediatly after this session, say nay!
-
Cool idea!!
cp52.

Excellent Idea!
I'm in!

sounds good to me
-
I like it!
-
Has my vote. :) It is "only" one day.
-
eeeeugh!!! Do it in the CT, leave MA alone.
-
Great idea, if for one day only!
-
2 "No" answers and a "Compromise"
LET'S DO IT!
:D

If they do it in the ma then the one trick ponies will wail like banshees... if they do it in the ct it will be a total waste of good planes cause they will screw the whole thing up with some allied vs axis waste of fm's ....
still say they need an early war area in the MA... carve out a forth of the pizza map and make it an early war only area... move the fields about 10-20% closer together in that area. surround it with 50K mountain range to keep out the total losers.

GREAT idea. Would be fun for most of us and a tribute in our own way to the sailors and pilots of the USN and IJN who died that day.

You say that like it would be a bad thing. I for one like the idea of torturing them, and hearing thier screams.
-
For ONE day?
Do it!
And remember, I am the living embodiment of the "one plane all the damn time" crowd :)

We had a similar discussion in the CT forum. Not a tribute, but a similar end result.

Here's the start of the thread;
Set-up Idea: Battle of the Turds!
I love planes. All planes, even crappy planes. Since Libya, I have developed a new respect for the 202 and have even been flying it in the MA. Despite its poor reputation, it’s really a very good performing plane plagued with skimpy guns. It got me thinking, however, wouldn’t it fun to put all of the planes with bad reputations and little MA use together in one scenario. What I am proposing is a scenario that includes aircraft that have most of the following characteristics: Little MA use, poor MA K/D, weak guns/little ammo, slow, & early war. The planes/GVs that I would suggest are:
Allied:
P-40B
Hurri I
Hurri IID
Spit I
IL-2
F4F-4 (on CVs only)
SBD (on CVs only)
Boston III
C-47
LTV-2 (on fleets only)
M-8
M-3
Axis:
109E
110C
C.202
A6M2 (on CVs only)
D3A1 (on CVs only)
JU-88
C-47
LTV-2 (on fleets only)
M-8
M-3
The map for this set-up should have lots of CVs to promote navel action.

Aye. Early-war for a day.

Except for Squad night events, that's all I have been flying this tour. Now, if everyone flew those old klunkers, life would be really good! I decided to fly only aircraft in service at the time of Pearl Harbor, just for the challenge of it. So far, so good.
Even though they're rather long-in-the-tooth, the F4F-4 and C.202 are excellent fighters. Use the correct tactics and they are extremely dangerous. Especially that old Wildcat.
My regards,
Widewing

Great idea - although I dont think you'll see it in MA. :(
-
Best idea I've seen on this board in a long time.
-
U can honor this sad day by simply flying only those planes. No need to change MA setup.

Duedel, you are obviously a nice chap. Unfortunately the rest of the small sample of humanity that play AH can't have the same said of them.
It would only take half a dozen ME262s to ruin the spirit of the event, and I can guarantee that for every 2 people that honour the spirit of the event 1 other will ruin in whatever way they can, especially for personal gain.

I vote for it :)
-
Seems some are trying to clarify the difference between choosing to honor a time in history... and being forced to honor a time in history.
The spirit of the event can just as easily be ruined by constant spamming of the bbs and ch 1 by people that are not happy with the current plane choices. And even more arguments from those telling them to shut up.
I can go either way on the decision... its not really that big of a thing. But the people who decide have to do it based on what will happen both here and in the MA.

If you do it.. do it in the MA so that i can fight wildcats against other wildcats, spits, p40,s, 109e, 202,. no variety with allied vs axis.
-
I can see it now,
A bunch of people get together in early war rides,
Then the la7s, doras, and p51s show up...
-
Count my vote 'pro'. Frankly, i'm getting tired of being shot down by the same old planes types. It's time to start getting shot down by some new planes types for awhile.
-
Yay! (Note, not one pony driver in here yet...rutabagas)
-
"Note, not one pony driver in here yet..."
Don't I count Ripsnort?
But then aain, I was FOR it :)

Heyas Rip!
You pick the plane and I know some rutabagas that will make you look kinda silly.:)
-
So, the 13th will fly P-40's for a day? Cool. :)

Only if we have to:)
One thing would be certain....you wouldn't hear us whining about it.
