Where have all the dogfights gone?
Tyler799:
I find it a shame that nowadays it's hard as hell to find a decent dogfight on Blockland.
There have been everything from the greatest and the most popular, to those just getting started,
But even before the Shadows/Shaders update, they seemed to be a slowly dying race.
I remember some of the better ones like Kinex's/Wizzard's, which wasn't exactly realistic or fancy, but was quite a bit of fun all the way to Stratofortress' which had an amazing set of vehicles for the time (and even for now), and a very fun style of gameplay.
There are countless more that have come and gone, and some are more memorable than others.
But my main question, is why?
Why are there no more dogfights in Blockland?
Has everyone just given up?
I've seen amazing builds with GSF Ghost's Terrain Bricks, so I know the build isn't the issue.
And now we have interactive vehicles, CrossPick, speedometers, cruise controls, HUDs, and all sorts of things for vehicular warfare.
There have been thousands of weapons made, for any style, realistic or cartoonish alike!
So why?

No, it's the builds

Its the time it takes to build a massive scale terrain map whereas before you could just load up a map in 2 seconds. Too much effort...

Space dogfight with two ships wouldn't need all that terrain, just some medium-size ships.

its too much of a pain to make a terrain map. mission editor terrain was much easier. now you have to place a bunch of support bricks all over just to make a steep cliff, and the only way for map boundaries is:
water
awkward sudden ending of the terrain
awkward huge cliffs
cant loop bricks
