oh... approximately 3 weeks ago, except now you have different terrain and the addition of the spit5 and 109f.
:D
what's with the fixation of early war setups? what's wrong with a little late '44 action?
ponys, jugs, 38's fw's 109g10's...
hmmm?
PTO will suffer til more japanese planes are modeled.

I'm with Shane .

Never thought I would say it, but shane hit that one dead on.

Ok, where is the Spit V hiding?

"what's with the fixation of early war setups? what's wrong with a little late '44 action? "
My guess is because that's what the MA is full of. Common MA planes seem to be looked down upon by the "pure CT goers".
Regardless of what thoughts are in their head, it's their playpen for now and they'll do what they want.
But I'll be nice and shut up rather than speak some truths. I'll let the numbers do the talking for me :)

I really like this setup..But can you perhaps turn off the flak over malta?..My framerates are unplayable and for gameplay it's maybe not that important.

Agreed. Don't know if it's the ack or the number of bases clustered together, but Malta is a black hole for frame rates.

Who are the "pure CT goers"?
What makes you think CT goers have a say in anything?

Slash27..lol, I guess I was one, it was because of me (so I was told) that the last two day PTO set-up was canceled....lol
Actually, late war was IJA "Nick" time and would have been nice, but the the allies cry about it...yet another frustration I incountered in the CT because it wasnt "Historical".
Three months of flying CT I think I flew the Nick in one set-up. (allies cried "Push it back to rear bases, its not Historical").
Flew the KI61 for two sorties last night. Died on first and two kills on the second. May have flown it once or twice three months ago when the Nick was pushed back to rear bases.
All other "Fighter" sorties have mainly been A6M2, A6M5,that one 202 set-up and whatever ten million sorties in LW planes. hint hint

both, probably, especially if the ack is going off around them clustered bases.
just like the english coast in BoB, made worse by the "eye-candy but worthless" cities that are scattered amongst the crowded bases.

it'd be cool if we ever got a "Nick" but i think the me-110g would be a suitable substitue skinned with IJA colors.
i think you mean the N1K2, aka Niki, aka "George."
;)

yeah something like that

Come on Hawk, quit being a "Ninnie".
Come on over and join the "Checkertails." We will fly Warhawks, Juggs & Ponys during the ETO scenarios and Japanese to help out during the PTO's.

Buzzbait,
Its not your fault, not the fault of any of the other CT staffers. The problem is in the Japanese and American aircraft that have been modeled. The choices made so far soundly and completely favor the Allies.
There is only so much that the staffers can do, and there are certain choices wheich are so unpopular as to be unviable, such as using the one good Japanese fighter.
As a result of this the Pacific Theatre setups (not Burma) are balanced decidedly in favor of the Allies.
While this was true historically, it dosen't make for a good game now.
A slower Hellcat, e.g. F6F-3 or faster Japanese fighters such as the J2M3, Ki.44, Ki.61-II or Ki.84 might help, but we lack all of those tools.

I really wish people would update there hardware! I am a grad student and I still keep my stuff reasonably up to date (about a year back on the curve). Just think of all the cool stuff htc could add.....
-
Yess! Malta I cant believe it!
But do turn off flak or get rid of ships or something (dont think they can turn off flak, or do anything you couldnt do if you were hosting an h2h room but I'm not sure on that).
About the late war thing... well its mostly cuz you can get that all the time in the MA, I love early war and early mid war is ok..
We have been having quit a few Mid-Late war setups lately Most of the setups have been 42+ for the last 2 months or so... and I was kinda gettin tired of em myself.
I do enjoy flyin late or midwar stuff a every now and then, but I can do that in the MainArena.. What I love about the CT is the earlier planesets, historical maps and setups etc.

I wish you, (and I use the term loosely) idiots would make one arena for each Theater of Operation...! :mad: Every two weeks someone feels the need to go and muck up the CT, and the matches they put in then seem to be pulled from their collective tight arses.
What, HTC can't afford one server for the Pacific (IJN) and one for Atlantic (German/Italian) AIR FORCES..!???
Sheesh:rolleyes:

Problem with that is Odee, We allready have few people in the CT (and part of the reason I think is just cuz we have few ppl, so no MA guys wanna join, if they'd all just try it out.. well ne way) Splitting up the arenas would make no more than bout 2-3 people per arena, or prolly everyone would just play in one arena, like what I just said above whichever has more players will prolly be where everyone goes, giving the other people who want to play in the other arena very few if any people to play with..
Reminds me of when Empire Earth first came out. Everyone went to the East server just because thats where everyone was, then when the east server had problems and went down for a little while everyone went to West server, and even after east server was fixed most ppl stayed in west server just because thats where everyone else is!
I could be completly wrong about the favorite CTarena thing.. but regardless making 3-4 different rooms would cut the players big time, couldnt really do that untill we have at least 60+ players playing in CT regularly..
