World Of Airports related hot takes thread

Welcome to the hot takes thread, where you can say your most disagreed on takes about WOA and debate about it. Before we start here are some ground rules:

  1. No name calling
    Don’t call people things like toxic, stupid, etc. we’re all better than that.

  2. No being spiteful
    If you disagree with someone don’t go cancelling any connections or ignoring them to spite them

  3. No hate towards Devs.
    Even if you disagree with a Devs decision don’t start hating on them, after all the best game WOA wouldn’t exist without their efforts.

  4. Keep it civilised.
    Come on, we’re all civilised people here, this is a debate not an argument. Don’t be passive aggressive or be rude to people for disagreeing with you.

If you break these rules I’ll tell you to stop but if you continue I’ll request that you don’t partake in this topic, but any actual repercussions is out of my control

I’ve had this topic approved by @ukplanespotter757 so this is in the all clear

Hot take: S planes are the best cause so much diversity of liveries and return so quickly

We need either more X sized planes, or less X gates.

Handling timers are so unbelievably short that it’s laughable and causes airports to be empty most of the time

I agree with this especially for SXM

More s planes should be jetbridges compatible

This is unsettling

If the devs were gonna add a third jetway to a380 gates in syd they should have made it functional.

On the topic of jetways the devs should change the ones at newer airports to have logos on them and make them grey instead of white because it just doesn’t look right for them to be white when we know irl they arent

If you buy them for your fleet your lucky if it’s profitable.

Hot take: the 777W is the most profitable fleet aircraft.

Yeah i agree, when it gets to the point where i can’t take anything off because the runways has to constantly be used for landings to fill the stands its way too short

My hit take is that the E190 should be a small or at least use the S exit at airports as its runway requirements are only 100M more than the E170

Here’s a hot take from me, SXM is the most boring airport to play, and most tedious to level up.

Couldnt agree more, the only reason i ever got international cause the levels were easier to progress before 2.0.1.

It’s a good airport for people who like S planes but for nothing else. I prefer a variety of mediums and a curated pool of large/extra large planes which doesn’t work at SXM because it has barely any M/L/X stands and no contract spaces

I wish they would reverse the way the planes land to make the flow faster

Same here, I couldn’t be bothered even try level up for LHR so just coughed up the gold planes and paid for it. First airport I paid for and didn’t unlock via levels or the old passengers handled counter.

2 Likes

Yeah, I also feel like the unlock level for the next airports is too much. Pre 2.0 I unlocked all airports via the passenger requirement but I just don’t bother with the level anymore. Too much wait

Hot take

We need more aircraft classes

XS - general aviation dhc 6

SM - E190, fokker 100

ML - A300, B767

LX - B744, B779

This would make more stands for different planes as the E190 can fit in many S stands but isn’t allowed to because it can’t fit in all

My two:

SAN and SXM shouldn’t be size X, because their runways are so short and it isn’t realistic. BRI even has a longer runway than both, but isn’t X.

PRG is the worst airport in the game. Traffic flow is slow, none of the L/X stands are big enough and they park skew, and in some places the jetbridges don’t align with the terminal model. It’s the only airport where I’m not on regional yet, and where I have no fleet planes.

And an XXL. I saw this mentioned when the Stratolaunch was suggested. Probably just specific cargo gates. In my opinion the aircraft that fall into the sub categories should be able to park in eithe S or M, or L or X, for example. As some planes like the E190 are hard to use because of this. I don’t know if an XS or a XXL would work in this system though

I think that the 744RR is long overdue because BA is arguably the most iconic 747 operator and we have Heathrow in the game.
