no really why are there 3 sides

[-towd_]

well place your vote here about the 3 side issue as opposed to 2 sides ( cause in my opinnion somone is always gonna have to play finland in the 3 side thing)

what do you think?

[hblair]

I would like to see an Historical Arena added as an option. The Historical Arena in Warbirds is where I spent my time. At least until the bill got too outrageous, heh.

Yup, a two sided HA is what this game needs, in my opinion, with smaller/limited icons, correct planeset, ie. LW vs. Brits or maybe a Pacific setup. And a new terrain.

hmm, I sound like a whiner

Agree with hblair.. 2 side in HA arena.. Otherwise 4 side makes for better Strat..

While I want an HA...

Why not show how you feel by going into the SEA or TA and fly it the way you want? I mean, turn icons off, fly out of only two countries, stick to historical enemies, etc.

The major drawback might be score (none) I suppose, but it would give you the chance to "try before you buy" so to speak.

I'm not opposed to an HA, but I doubt I would spend much time there.  As for the MA, I think 3 sides works better than 4 or 2.

The only reason to have more than 2 sides would be if each side had their own plane set.

This wouldn't work by the way for those of you who didn't fly the ACA in WB.(or choose to forget it)

You always had the majority of the people flying the Uber planeset while the diehards flew the rest. Talk about gangbangs.

I think it should be down to 2 sides.

Don't really care either way about a historical arena.

But for the Main arena, the 3 sides is mucho superior to either 2 or 4.

{Edit: Oh one thing though, I don't think the population base of AH is large enough to support a HA yet guys, MA population is still pretty small on alot of nights}

i play anything they have setup. but i think the icon thing need to be address
in some form or fashion.
i've posted my input on other threads and even spent time to make a sample pic of what i think would be good for an arena.

[hblair]

I don't know vermillion, Here, unlike in the HA in WB's you won't be charged $.50 for the 15 minutes it takes you to grab altitude and find the badguys.

I think an HA in Aces High would be way more popular than the one in WB's.

As far as the 3 sides in the MA here, it doesn't really bother me personally. We knights got "gangbanged" a little late last night by the rooks. The odds got to 18 to 6 at one point. Wasn't really that big a deal. Most of them got tired of molesting us and they logged. Then we took the iniative and captured their field!

LOL  This is not a "Gangbang".  This is just getting picked on.  A gangbang is two teams vs one.

I just thought this ought to be clear.

 Ever since beta ive wondered why we dont just do the 2 side thing. We control this. We can pick a night, and time. Then pick which side we want to drp. when we see somone show up as a xxxxx, every one get on the open channel and tell them to pick another side. Lets try it for a few hours. and see what we think.

[Sunchaser]

TT, good one.
but can you imagine the cryin' from the side left out?  
And they would have to drop the switching sides time limit so we could all get back on our own side after the event.

May not be practical for open but how about the SEA ?

I know that it is for TOD but why couldn't we just sort of say:
 "OK Wednesday (or even daily when the arena is not scheduled for TOD.)  anyone interested in flying 2 sides go into the SEA  and pick one"

If there are guys there ok, if not, no big deal.

Anyone wanting to fly anything in the list can have the main and 3 sides.

I have no idea how it would work but it may be worth a try when logging on to say on the open channel, "Hey guys, gals and others, I am off to the SEA flying Axis, anyone want to shoot me flying Allied?"

I just noticed that Kieren said the same thing with about a zillion less words, oh well, gotta protect my "Windbag" title whenever I can so I will close by saying: What Kieren said.
