Possible ways to keep WW1 arena busy

[AirFlyer]

Problem with EW...free hurri 2c... there i said it.

QFT

As far as MW, I enjoy the smaller pop. generally, less hoarding more fighting usually.

no climbing above W/E the plane's operational height was,

Do you see this alot in the MA? 'Cause what I see in the MA is planes flying about 20K *below* their normal operational height all the time...

The reason the EW areana is dead is because the only poeple in there are tools. When people go there who want to actually FIND other planes to fight the tools change country or just log off. It has nothing to do with the plane set.

Quoted for truth.  Even us pig-headed fellows got tired of chasing them around after a few weeks.  It is a tool/perk harvesting arena.

A lot of people are saying that the WW1 arena will be just like the EW arena, but I think I have some solutions to that problem.

First off make that arena THE ONLY ARENA you can fly a WW1 plane, and no WW2 planes in that arena. Infact I bet if you did this to the EW plane set I bet it would help there too.

Second is don't make the arena gamey. No scores, no base takes, no climbing above W/E the plane's operational height was, and give the fields SUPER ack to prevent vulching.

Think these will work?

Ah come on, Imagine the fun of taking bases with 10 guys in a horse drawn cart

Actually I thought that since the planes won't have air pressured cockpits, and the pilots probably don't have air masks, people will take them up way too high for the pilot to actually still be breathing, or get frost bite

Set it up where the higher you go above 10k,you black out faster for lack of O2.

Most planes in WWII didn't have pressurized cockpits, just FYI.

Whoops NVM apparently the Camel and Dreidecker can reach around 20k.

WHatcha do, is take your entire squad in there..or as many as you can get on at any one time. split evenly between the 3 countries. now, no matter where they go, they can't avoid yas. if they leave, ya fight amongst yourselves, and have fun.

I'm in EW most of the time.  I don't run from a fight and often switch sides to find one.  I don't remember seeing you much...might be timezones.  I'm GMT-6 (US Central time) and usually on 8pm-10pm most nights.

EDIT:  I see you're an Aussie.  That explains why I haven't seen ya.

flew with you about 6 months ago and it was fun there were 2 other guys that kept upping against us, unfortunately times like that are rare. One guy landed his hurri and wouldn't up again coz he couldn't get a solution on my c202.

 OMG. My heart fell to my stomach as I realized that there won't
be any chances to shoot the chutist    I can't recall how many
times I enjoyed coming back around on a kil that bailed to see if
I could plant just a round or two into them and send them back to
the tower so they could express thier indignation. sigh. those were
the good old days.

Then!  I thought man it would even be harder to shoot a pilot who's
leaped or fallen from a burning plane before he pancakes on the ground!
I'm not sure what kind of Gee's these crates can stand while diving down
after some poor sap who's free-falling. But that would be part of the thrill
of it!

 So I figure if things got dull there could be a meatbag shooting contest
every month. That ought to keep things cookin in the WWI arena on those
quiet nights. A super extra bennie would be people can hone their marks-
menship in these events too.

 Later if they add barrage balloons or dirigibles we could advance the theme
to how many pinwheeling sacks can you bag after the balloon has blown up.

Hordes of spit16, 51s and La7s smell like noobs, and taste like chicken.

and can't touch my old crusty A6M2
