It is for sure the only choice for those who would like to fly a few sorties with a lot of choice and players without any hassle and at any time day or night.
I would simply hope that adding all these new early war planes is not simply for the benifiet of the few and that there is some plan to use them in the MA where most people hang out.

It is still a choice. If you elect to fly the MA, you will elect to find the Val not very usefull. In fact, I can't see much reason to fly the Val even in a "1940" arena. I'd take the Ju-88 personally. But whatever.
If you are advocating, as you have in the past, certain areas in the MA for early plane use only, I have to dissagree. I believe that the idea is without merit since, if the current CT setup doesn't attract large numbers (including times when it is a FFA) I see no reason why you're "timewarp" zone would attract more numbers. It would wind up a bald spot in the arena. That's just how I see it.
The RPS is a very real possiblity. Have you given any consideration to the idea that HTC is releasing early war aircraft in an attempt to actually have
enough planes for a RPS? I don't know if this is the case of course, but from the "we are taking things in a certain direction, and you might not see where we are going until we get there" clues me in that something is coming along, and that there is a reason, beyond what we've been discussing, for the influx of early war planes.
So as far as I can tell, the "only real choice" is for you (or at least HTC) to impose what people can fly in the MA. Is this correct? Maybe they can have "bomber weekend" in the MA, and enable only the buffs. If you want to fly the aircraft, there are ways you can fly them competitivly. Not everyday, not 24/7 but there are ways. Resources are spent to ensure that the planes CAN be used. If all you wanted for all your years of flightsiming is to fly a Val, it CAN be done. If you choose to not fly it in the CT, or in events, then that is your choice. If most people (and most people seem to be what drives your argument) wanted to fly historic setups, they'd be in the CT, but apparently they don't, so imposing Historic setups (or in this case timeframe restrictions) would be letting the tail wag the dog.
great, now I'm getting fekin carple tunnel here.
