hello,and thank for looking, my proposal is a simple one in terms of adding anying to the game. my proposal would help to determine if it is worth any effort to expand the WWI arena or leave it the way it is. I would like hitech to add several AI recon aircraft to WWI arena that have a set path and can fire at enemy aircraft. and heres how and why it would be a benefit and be easy to implement. everything needed is already in game. simply use the two seat biplane already in game that is armed. use the task group tab to see where each recon planes course is and where on that track they are at. on the track it would have alt listed that the recon aircraft would be flying at. we already have auto ack at ww2 bases and the guns would work on that principle as they do near an airfield...but only machine gun fire would be used for the recon plane. people who log in and see NO players in WWI can still go and have fun,they can go and try to kill the recon aircraft...and can get shot down as well...like auto ack does now ingame. others will log in and try to escort the recon planes or defend them or kill enemy planes. in WWI all planes show up on the map.recon aircraft would not, you would have to go find them......but the map is actually small and the recon aircraft would have to go near enemy lines,it should not be hard.
as it is the WWI is more like a dueling arena but with a limited WWI planes set of 4 rides. which can be fun(like over the holidays,we had 21 players in there on two sides) but most times its 1v1 or nobody in there. if my idea were added,it may spark interest in WWI,and it may show hitech how much interest there is for WWI. if there is more interest,other planes may be added. remember,this is a legitimate arena intened to have a score.how do you get a score if no one is ever in there? it may be more fun with other things to do. everything to be added we already have in game. if there was interest in WWI we may be able to add a SPAD,NEIPORT,ALBATROS,SE-5 AND OTHERS ETC. we have already lost players to WWI sims,lets bring some back and create new players with interest.
