hehe.
Skiz, welcome to the CT.
You'll find that the physics and modelling of AH is the same in the CT as it is in the MA. But, we tend to run a more historical set up. Only 2 sides and plane sets as accurate as we can have them (given limitations with the current plane set).
Some of the stuff you would like to see is currently impossible. But no worries. Alot of what you are looking for will come with TOD.
As far as the jets go (ME262) don't worry too much about them. They were present in limited numbers and aren't readily available in this set up. (you gotta really want one to bring one).
In fact the 262 isn't that much of a threat to the allied fighters anyway. They are too fast, and as long as you know they are there and keep an eye on'em, they are pretty much neutered anyway.
Couple of things to know about CT is, we don't normally Vulch, or actively land grab to take over the map. If the map gets run, the CT staff have to reset it. (its not like MA that way). CT staff are all unpaid volunteers, so it could be a delay getting the arena back up and running.
Last but not least, the CT staff put in alot of thier own time to make this arena work for us all. Without them we would not have the CT. If ya see one of'em say "Hi and Thanks". (and maybe "Hey you guys should buy RTR a beer"!). They are the true "un-sung hero's of AH"
Glad you had fun Skiz, and once again....
Welcome to the CT;)
Cheers, RTR
