Separate the Lake from the fields. Make a small arena where planes start in the Air and call it the Free For All room, where everyone is red. Players start in the air and there is only 1 field in on the ground in the center.  The Dueling Arena is for DUELS. Make an arena where you can get REALLY quick action.

Also, enable names in MA :x Its stupid that people have to resort to 'HEY YOU 190 at A74, YOU KEEP ON RUNNING BUDDY!' Just enable player names already, it will bring a whole new dynamic to this stagnant community. But thats for another discussion.

Awesome.  This is a great idea!

The most DA fun?

1.  Canyon fights?
2.  1 v 1 groups?
3.  1 v 1 hate-fights?

I think the Canyon fights are awesome, where you pick the plane and everyone flies it, or you pick an ENY or whatever... especially when EVERYONE follows the rules.

You go Kruel!   I've been debating suggesting the FFA idea for a while now....   We all know how popular that room remained up until the day they chained the doors shut.

F-3 mode is used in the DA by most who come there no matter how much the say they don't. That is how they make those fantastic deflection shots in there you never see in the MA or move at just the right time to avoid your fire.


I NEVER fly F3 in DA, and most of the vets in the game wouldn't do it either. The only ones you will find doing it are the hardcore, lake regulars that you never see in the MA. They don't go to the MA because they do fly F3 and can't or wont adapt.

The once or twice I tried it out of curiousity, I couldn't aim to save my life.

They came from FA! But I really never flew in the FFA Room but since this is what the discussion is about figured I'd throw it in, I would love for a room with smaller maps and NO STUPID TANKS/BOATS (field guns are OK, maybe the wirbs too). This is Aces HIGH not MudMovers LOW. :airplane:

F3 Mode sux. Anyone who can do that is on some other plane of thinking.   I guess that's why my daughter can whip my butt in Black Ops: Zombie Mode.   She is a natural.   My son, too.   I just don't have their perspective--but I did get to level 45 in Zombies on Der Riese....

Why is F3 mode even allowed in the DA and not just the TA?

Or am I necromancing some horse corpse and going to get banned for asking?

There has never been an answer for this.   There probably never will be.

If they took the pick and run HO planes out of the DA, and got rid of F3 mode, maybe the 12 hour rule thing would become moot?

Hahaha

I understand that rational but the truth is the problem isn't the plane set in the DA.  Just up the same and hammer them.  The issue is the stigma of F3

I think I remember "they" saying it was some concession to Fighter Ace guys coming over to AH.  That might be a figment of my imagination though.   :headscratch:
