Being a long time CT/AvA regular. I do remember when there was blatant bias in certain set ups. As long as I have been on the Staff I made it a point to never be that way. There has been none of that from any other current staffers either. We try to to set things up as fair as possible while keeping the fun factor high on the priority list. Being that five of us are in a squad thats not "Allied" or "Axis" helps keep things in perspective.

Heh, thank you both. The Frank is such a fine plane that even I can look competent in it. I appreciate the compliments from two people who own me in normal circumstances.

Slash, please look at my 1st sentence and my last quoted sentence.

it is the lack of plane choices you have to work with.......

no worries....

( I used wrong pronounciations there...... should have not made em look like questions.... )

I saw your first sentence, I got what you were saying and took no offense TC. My reply was really for those new to the arena or who might have some concerns that bias may play a factor in set ups. My intent was to provide some calrification.

Setup now done, and as always, please let me know if something's wrong. Have fun!

Biggles has some adventures planned for us regulars, Saturday 3pm EDT, 21 CET. See his thread in the general discussion, link.

yuppers, bring your squaddies, your friends, everyone for an afternoon/evening of fun. we want to see the AvA with big numbers again, like when it was first renamed and we ran those huge BoB missions

3pm EST, 8pm UK, 9pm European onwards (i'm sure numbers will get bigger through the night because of US primetime players), for some fun lighthearted furballing and hopefully some fun action filled missions.

drag along everyone you can:aok

cya tomorrow night guys

I hate to say it but it was one of the worse AvA days. I loged in in the morning and had some really good 6 vs 1 with the Fins lol. It got even better when 2 of the six were 190s going head on on every pass. Left and came back latter with the bigger numbers. Even worse. The only difference was more 190s cherry picking. When I asked them to atlist respect a 4 on 1 I was told that they did not design the plane, they just know how to use it. I guess I never new the Germans designed it as a cherry picker. Went back to the MA and had some good fights. What I really like is people wondering why the place is empty all the time lol. The place is great with 10 or less people. When invites like this go out, it atracts the worse of the MA type I guess.

This had evened out by the time I was able to log on Saturday (Euros had gone to bed?) (I hope so!). There will always be the division between people who want good fights, and people who just want to get kills. Probably it's more noticeable in AvA because the numbers are smaller.

The good news department: I don't see than anyone misses the Hurri IIC or FM2, and I think the quality of the balanced fights is much better.

The allies missed the hurricanes. The P-40E is outclassed by almost every axis plane. I know some folks can get some kills with it, but when it's 12 vs 1 and that 1 is a P40 it has no chance. Can't turn with any LW plane, can't out run any LW plane, can't out climb or out dive any of them. Basically SOL.

The LA5 has its own problems, and while it can turn well, it is not as easy to pull tight turns as the 109F-4 (most numerous 109 I saw in the short time I was on) and the g-2. It's very close in radius to the G-2 but the G-2 does it with much more ease.

The Yak9T cannot even dream of running from anything, cannot out turn anything, and cannot outclimb or outmanuver anything on the LW team.

I won't even start on the A-20G.

I'm pretty much the farthest thing from a TnB player there is, but I think the hurricanes would have been the only thing aside from the LA5 that would have been a real threat to any of the LW planes, and it was left out for some reason.

I've enjoyed the FM2 in the past as well but was flying allied with some squaddies.

Just a differing opinion in response to your comment "I don't see than anyone misses the Hurri IIC or FM2".

Disable 109 F4, 109 G14, 190 F8 and you'll be a step closer to "balanced one".

I don't know. I'd say desable the 190s. Atlist the guys in the 109s fought for the kill. The guys in the 190s would up froma field further out to get alt and then just dive in for a pick and extend for 5 minutes. Don't give the dweebs the dweeb tools and they may not show up.

Yeah, I know, they will find the next bst thing. I'm just hoping they wontt show up lol

12 vs 1 you're hosed whatever you're in. To say the P-40 can't out turn LW planes or dive with them is not accurate.

Is the Yak9U not enabled?
