No if that don't speak VOLUMS I don't what does...

I'll take a leave (and my wool pijiamas) to play IL-2 :)

Funny how fast the most popular arena became so much hated :)
Shall I remind the times when arena was reseted once per tour? When we had only 1 arena during MANY month? :)
Still I understand why people are borred. How about auto reset every 7 days if none of the countries won the war. Even more funny it will be if the message will be send: "Today at ##:## arena is reseted. Country which has more field at that moment will win the war".

I dont hate mindano either :) but changes is nice specially when we have more maps to go on. I think people get frustrated over getting nowhere in base takings for the moment. just like when u get 3 or 4 bases log off back 4 hours later all lost, and so on.
As ive said earlyer mindano rocks grapical but need some improvments now since we have much more players than its designed for i think

It does seem to be harder to hit strat targets, but kills come just as quickly here as any other map.

wow that is bad

I agree. Mindanao is rough...pretty, but rough. Its even harder for buffs to get out of some of the airstrips there, get alt and get TO target alive! Last night I was looking through the bombsight and saw a C47 waiting to re-up what I was planning on knocking down. Damn!
Its been a long, lingering death for the Knights all weekend. I know a lot of guys logged on, saw how awful the map looked, and logged out. Hell, I even installed Warbirds 3 for the first time....bleck!
Try something fun in the Main Arena...like all of us take on the Air Warrior guys, so they can yell HOW DO I BOMB to each other and leave us guys alone! hehehehe
But really, we need some more maps. Heck, try that pretty 2-sided Norway map from the Combat Theater for a few days. Yea, ain't furball friendly...those guys will actually have to carry more than 25% gas, but hey, let's experiment. Ideally I'd like to see the Beta Map on for a few nights....or that Phillipines one with the giant beer bottle in it.

WW2 Online?
Because of a map?

what BD5 said :)
back in Beta the map that had the Pizza & Beer was Great. Not only trying to capture another country, But trying to fend off another country from trying to capture the bases that Protected our Pizza & Beer. That was Great gameplay & Great times. :cool:
Bring back the Pizza & Beer. :p

We want the Killer Pizza Delivery Boys back!!!

My first week playing Aces High on that map, I ran out of gas and had to glide my B-17 in for a landing in that center area. I laughed my bellybutton off dodging snowmen! Nice map! REALLY neat high ground too, if I recall.

Mindano is a fine map for 200 players.However with all the new AH pilots it seems too crowded with 350.A possible solution to this would be to have two identical MA's with rotating maps.If you don't want to fly one you can go to the other.And if they are both the same,the lower numbers in each will make the maps more enjoyable. :o
-
I'm totally diggin' Mindanao. I see the difficulty of base capture as a feature, not a bug.
Besides, I get to shoot down lots o' buffs.

(can ya guess what i'm gonna say? c'mon....try.)
two words: DESERT MAP!

I like all the maps, of coarse i just like to kill chit. I can just kill more watermelon faster with Mindanao terrian.
Can you imagine the furballs we could have in the Beta terrian. 3 mountain ridges with a crap load o vallies to fight in. Man i miss that map. Had to be the most fun.
Dog out........

Nothing wrong with the mindano map other than the lack of vehicle participation. In my view that really needs to be fixed if possible. CV ops as a distraction is also a bit short lived due to the softness of the cv's and their vulnerability to the constant barrage of suicide dweebs. Other than that it's a beautifull map.
In my view boredom in the ma hasn't as much to do with the map as it does with the style of play. As I've stated in the past I think we should turn the ma into a historical matchup type of arena 1 or 2 days a month to break the monotony. Unfortunately, thats not likely to happen thanks to a vocal, if unenlightend minority, who are deeply afraid of any change lest it become popular.

I think the map should stay the same and change weekly. If I don't get my way, I will NOT quit. "I QUIT" only works once and I don't plan to use it up on something trivial like this.
Keeping the same map would help in planning squad missions. If anyone is interested, there is a topic in the Gameplay feedback/issues fourm.

Yeah, that was nice, now we seem to be playing Mindanao all the time, 98% of each TOD.

Expanding on this, how about we having a countdown timer somewhere on the clipboard, starting the moment the arena is reset. [The arena will reset in 5 days, 4 hours & 32 minutes]. Could make for some heated battles when the clock starts getting down to nothing as countries try to up their field count.

Brady,
Come to the many special events running just about every day now. Main arena is just a place to have alittle fun in between the real test of pilotage in the Special Events. If your good in the main, it don't mean squat until you can repeat your heroism in a special event. ;)
-
OK Rip mabby I will :), I play for rank, so generaly I stay away from events because I like the stress playing for rank add's to my MA experence, and I just dont get that in the events. But lately I have begone to get bored in the MA because of all the furballing Minanado causes.

Tuck lol now that is a cool dude flying that spit :D
that really made me chuckle you gotta use it all the time
