I would like to request that the Map "SYN-Battleground Arras-Bapaume" be removed from the rotation of Early War Wednesday. This is a Balloon pop mission with DH2 & EIII's. I realize this is an old mission, and in it's day, it had some charm...yet I believe it has gotten a little long in the tooth(sorry, for you non-hillbillies, Old). The format is not very inspiring, and it has an issue with flak. This is not you're run o'the mill flak problem that has been making the rounds lately. With these slow planes, it's nearly impossible to climb above it, unless you've got all day. And even when jinking like mad the AAA will find it's mark 9 times out of 10. And maybe it's me but the flak seams like it's too much and too accurate for 1916, but that's just my feeling as I've got no data.
But most importantly this mission is emptying the server in my experience. People get frustrated, clawing for alt only to get whacked by AAA before you can even find the enemy, then they leave. Which is too bad cause I love this plane set
Perhaps it could be modified(less or lower flak ceiling), or better yet replaced with something more in line with all the other wonderful missions you guys have made lately. Though I'm not trying to make work for anyone, so I'd be happy just pulling it from the rotation.
What do you guys think? Opinions? Comments? Anyone?
