- Matching up aircraft performance isn't much of an issue as far as I'm concerned as long as the setups are historically based WWII setups. I have no interest in fantasy or "what if" setups or setups based on small wars around the globe.
- Historically based terrains I like.
- I don't like setups where people have the option of parking multiple cv groups near the same field. Where CV's are in integral part of the setup like Okinawa that's fine, but where they aren't disable them altogether or limit them to 1 per side.
- I'd like to see a regular rotation between ETO, Eastern Front, MTO and PTO setups. Right now there isn't a great deal to choose from for MTO setups, but over time that will get fixed. It seems like the CT runs PTO for awhile and then runs ETO for awhile - the trigger for changing seems to be CM boredom with a plane set.
- I like to see a semi-regular rotation of early, mid and late war setups too.
- I don't mind setups with the spit9. I generally fly the side with the lower numbers so I don't get much chance to fly it. The 109F will turn with it, run with it and zoom with it. The fw's out roll it, out dive it and out run it. It's got a reputation in this game is just doesn't have the performance to earn. I am truly amazed so many people are intimidated by a moderately fast turn fighter. Use it more, maybe the lustre will wear off.
- I'd like to see more variety in the way existing terrains are used. I don't think that the "third country" has been used as effectively as it could be to define the area of battle in setups. There are large areas of finrus that almost never get used - the north side of the map I've only ever seen offline. Large areas of the france terrain the same - almost never get to fight down in the Vosge or the Saar regions, Normandy, the Pas de Calais or the channel.
- The SpitXIV - love it. It's a hoot to fly something I won't spend the perks on in the MA. Use it more too. I'd like to see more late war setups using more of the late war aircraft - all except the kerosene jobs- jets in the CT means a week in the MA for me.
- Final point - I hate perked rides in the CT. Perking the "hot rides" means that the better pilots in the arena get to earn a technical advantage over the other players. I can see the perk system in the MA but not the CT. A setup with perked airplanes will mean I fly the MA for that week also.
Cheers,
