Slapshot Ill give you a nice example. I like to fly the P51D and so does my whole squad. I train them in furballing with it escorting with it bombing in it and attacking bombers with it. Not all of them fly it all the time and some of them dont like it much either but when we fly as a squad we fly the P51D mostly. A dozen times over the past week or two a mission has been tried but the eny changes before we can even launch. My favorite ride is hard to get into see? Even when it is the squad isnt always online so I go with six or more bishops to attack a field. In less then a minute and usually much much quicker all the bishops are dead except me and now Im outnumbered ten to one. That doesnt bother me though because I can usually land six or more kills anyway. What bothers me is that the same guys that die within a minute of meeting the enemy are keeping the P51 out of the skies because they far outnumber the guys that can survive. So I log in and find the arena full or the P51 not available and then I log off and go fly F4AF.

Ive asked online and there are quite a few that would pay double for a adult only arena. More filling less gamey and much much more skill is what we all want. AND the P51D.

Here's something that might be fun to trywith your squad:

Outfit them all with one of the mid-war planes.  Maybe start out with Spit 5s, the younger squad members will find that is a good transition plane.   See how that works out.  Pick the blue skins for all of you.  Now you're folks are ready for either the mid-war or the early-war arenas, they'll all get kills (believe me), you can stick together.  The world is bright again.

AND, there's no additional charge!

Speaks volumes Chalenge ... rather than try to adapt, as Oldman suggested, you just deliver a flat out ... NO.

You have a choice ... you make your choice ... you live with the consequences ... can't feel sorry for you at all.

One could argue that the LW has higher numbers, because too many are afraid to explore what is offered in the other arenas due to the fact that they can't ride in their "safe-mobiles" or as some say ... "crutches" ... La-7, N1K, P-51, etc.


   I don't think that its they prefer higher number arenas, all arenas have the same CAP ... so how could LW be higher than the other two ?



I think its possible a large chunk of the players fall into that realm. Once that block of players settles in to the LW, other players who want to go where the majority are (like me) just add to it making it a full arena.

Well, no, of course not, assuming it's still 1991 where you're living. ;)

Try to imagine SHawk and co trying to vulch pick and run in P40s because their score is too high.

I say DO IT HT!!!!!, lol



LOL...perk a score potato....Some top scoring pilots are very good, but most in the top 100 are average. They get the good score by doing a little bit of everything the game has to offer. Most score potatos don't get there by simply vulching all night.
