Unfortunately lately, with my hectic work schedule flying in any arena is very difficult. Joining TODs' etc. are almost impossible for one who works different 24/7 shifts. And I do like the CT very very much. The reasons are many, short icons, forces better SA,more teamwork involved in a war between two countries etc. I think these advantages should be advertised.
All we really need to do is get people to try it. And no matter which side they fly, be as helpful as we can. I shouldn't say "we" because of my "flight time" but helping newer individuals that enter the CT would be of great advantage.
Also....since I fly Bish in the MA one of the nicest features in the CT is that I am flying with my adversaries in the MA. I really enjoy flying with StSanta, Saw, Wilbus, Hazed etc. By doing so it greatly adds to the community commraderie as a whole. It's also a really nice feature that should be spread by word of mouth.
Two days ago I really had lots of fun when StSanta, SAW and myself were winging. We had great fights against the Allies, although I certainly get tired looking up at the enemy in my A8, the experience was much more fun then multiplane furballing in the MA.
Methinks, in my humble opinion that spreading the word, not forcefully, but just commenting on the differences between the two would be to the CTs' advantage. Shamus, a squadmate of mine in the MA also likes very much to fly in the CT. We've spread the word amongst our squad in the MA. I know Mauser also likes the CT. There's got to be some subtle way we can get people to try it.
Long winded sorry
