If taking on a challenge makes me a "snob", well, then i must be one.
BTW, ElAurens, where did you get that "penalize"- part???
And also thanks for getting personal, tells a lot about your personality :-D
One thing i've seen from young people today that it is "cool" not to know something
and not being able to to something because to be eager to learn is extremely "uncool".
To defend this behaviour is, lets say, "uncool"??
Anyway, i hope that there will be not only servers where the realism is more limited as it already is by playing on a computer.

Some say it is not kind to stereotype, but i have to agree. I'm 21 and trust me i hate my generation. Everyones interest lies solely in their appearance and very little effort goes into obtaining any useful knowledge. I have an extremely hard time trying to start up a conversation with anybody my age... they all seem so dull. Hopefully they will realize that by the time they are 30 and have more appreciation for learning. I grew up watching the history channel and absolutely love it. WWII has especially been a huge interest to me :)

Exactly my point.

A successful title has to accomodate a myriad of play styles, even if those of us who fly "full switch", and I do mostly, don't use them ourselves.

It's about preferences, not jugdgements. And I see a lot of people here being very judgemental.

Well one thing is clear to me, the harder the skill level (switch setting) one play's at, the higher the amount of tactics are necessary to be able to RTB,:grin:


So far only Blackdog came up with something that I can use, a very promising idea! and March is closing in quick:-P

That's just another play style that I'm very happy to see accommodated. Sometimes they coexist on the same server and sometimes there are dedicated coops and servers for that sort of organization and coordination. I've done both and I will continue to enjoy both for their unique angles on the game.

It's all about the variety... some people just focus on fighters. Some fly bombers and some fly tactical aircraft. If everyone did the same then the online experience would be boring :)
