Awesome!  :aok x10

I'm amazed at how much effort HTC has put into game development this year.

I think a WWI arena would be a nice change of pace, I'll be sure to give it a go.

I wonder if HTC will be adding a modern day arena? F-14’s, F-15's, F-18’s, Su-27’s, Mig-29’s etc. That would make my day. :cheers:

How cool would be to log on and have a choice between WWI, WWII or modern day?

I was familiar with three of those fighters, but I didn't know anything about the Bristol F.2b so I looked it up.  Interesting aircraft, kind of multi-role, not as heavy forward firepower, but has a tail gun and it is fast, almost as fast as a Spad XIII.
Yup, that is how they seemed to work.  I think the Foker D.VII and the Bristol F.2b both have inline engines though.

F2B baby! The original jabo bomber from hell. Cant wait.

I think we need a mig alley before an F-15. How about a Crimson Sky's arena with the XP-55 ascender?

So seriously tell us about the ground game in WWi, how will we affect base captures. I don't see much play for that era of GVs. I know their wasn't much future in the infantry.

     I'm rather looking forward to a WW1 arena with the HTC viewset.  One of the
more annoying aspects of most WW1 flying games is your inability to use peripheral
vision  :aok

If I read on another thread correctly, there will be no ground game. Just furballs with bases 5 miles apart.

Oh! Count me in! This could be my new favorite arena! Bring on the SPAD 13! I just got Rickenbacker's autograph.

My initial reaction: Meh. I found Dawn of Aces interminably boring.

However, just as Doug and Dale learned from Warbirds when making Aces High, perhaps there are new lessons learned that will make the WWI area fun. I certainly hope so.
