Geez, Lusche, you left out the Ki84 and the Ki61. You're so biased. :furious

I was referring to the "mostly carrier based" part.

If you add land based fighters, you have to add P-38, P-47, P-51 too. With not a single enemy plane being able to catch them if they keep their speed :)
And of course, B-24s (8k bombs) vs Ki-67s (1.8k bombs)...

Not sure this is the best idea, but a huge turnoff for me is the mixed sides of the main arenas. Whoever decided it would be cool to have allied planes shooting down allied bombers?  :old:
All planes to all sides 1) eliminates any discussion of favoritism and 2) allows for the most varied fights.  It absolutely makes sense to appeal to the largest number of potential customers.

I like the AvA and used to frequent it often, but forcing everyone into it would cause the subscriber base to shrink drastically.

This is exactly the turn off for me, too arcadey

Carrier based.  If he wanted to list land-based aircraft, the ratio would barely change after adding all the US and British aircraft. 

Late war...so the Japanese would be dealing with carrier based aircraft while still being able to bring their land based crafts to bear...and, it was a joke..

Most players are turned off very quickly by unbalanced gameplay.

Then we already have an AvA arena.  Find some like minded individuals and go populate it.

I'd be happy to populate it if the maps were there and it was at least rotated with the different theatres

You've not been paying attention.  They rotate theatres and set-ups quite frequently.

Then you havn't been checking in very often. I've only been in there 4 or 5 times, and i've seen 4 or 5 different maps.

I still only want to see axis fight allies, not trying to stop everyone flying the same rides they do normally.
