Ways to Tweak EW, MW and WWI

[Arlo]

I like saxman's idea of free to play ew, but without the ability to earn perks or use earned perks in mw. Folks may just go to ew to harvest perks from newbs. Others may cancel subs and just play ew and mw.

Hmmmm.

TBH, I would NOT remove EW/MW aircraft from later periods, precisely because many earlier aircraft remained in combat to some capacity well after being replaced as front-line machines.

How's this?  I'll create lists of planes that were withdrawn/exhausted from service

For example... i'm sure (in my head) that spit1's and I-16 were withdrawn in mid war and in-game spit 5, 109F's (replaced by 109G's) and ju 87's (replaced by 190F's) in late war.

What possible difference would it make if early-war planes were left in the late war arena? I see no reason for anyone to spend any time trying to come up with a reason to remove any planes.

Exactly.  Why do you want to take anything away from what many find enjoyable?  Do you really think you can force them into the early war arena's by doing this.  Furthermore why do you find it neccessary that these arena's be populated?  If you want to fly in them then go and do that.  Invite your friends to do so also.  Populate them by making them popular.

I would give the new players the perks, let them build up and use them as they please, even with a 2 week subscription account you can keep or use your perks. How is this going to hurt anyone for starters? A newbie isn't going to build hundreds of perks in the EW arena over night, I find it easier in the Late war arena vs the early war.

You seem to miss the point, EW and MW are dead like the WW1 arena. Its only midnight and there are only 10 people in MW arena, earlier I went in there and there were 3 afk. The idea is try to help populate the game, including EW and MW arenas.
Imagine if we can add 50 people to that list? even 25.

Your not in there at the right time, most evenings we have around 15 to 30. Of course when a LW squad wants to show how "awesome" they are we may jump up to 40 or 60, it all depends. Also LW numbers drop off at midnight as well.

All that is still beside the point, you don't fly there, don't worry about it. I fly there and I like.
