But that's a game problem that needs to be dealt with, something for the devs, that's nothing to do with how the planes did in history.

And yes, I play on Sim as much as I can. And hardly anyone takes the jets in Sim, because they're absurdly hard to use in that mode.

sorry but at the end of the day the jets are in the game they are a valid choice for ppl to use they dont unbalance the game any more than the b17 does and i dont think they have such a negative effect on the game...
just what are you suggesting? that becuse a few ppl decide to fly a jet everyone is going to stop playing ?? i dont think so

and who are you or anyone else for that matter to tell them they are cheating or spoiling the game by doing so ???

I would love an option to turn jets on or off. Simple as that.

So what was all that "The Me-163 only got 20 kills" ?

Same question I just asked myself :-P. Doesn't mean I don't mean it though. Still think there are some strange aircraft picks.

Well, I for one cannot fathom what the Po-2 is doing in there. Considering it has NO forward firing guns, and the bombs it carries are rather the suck, it's pointless.

We could almost make a 'Ridiculous plane choices' post :-P. Not sure the devs would appreciate it though :rolleyes:.

I'm sure our pilots in WW2 would have loved to have turned the jets off too, but they couldn't, so they didn't bitch and moan about it and developed tatics to deal with them.

War isn't fair, it never has been, so why would a realistic war sim be any different?

It's just there to fool around with. ;)



If you don't want jets change the max year you want aircraft to be from... Otherwise they are perfectly legitimate. I don't mind jets at all, and I personally can't use them very well anyways.

Bit of a strange argument :confused:, can you image any game at all, that would word with that idea in the back of your head?

the WW2 pilots didnt play for FUN, they fought for and with their lives. We play a game, for fun (or so I think we are). An ace in a jet, against any piston plane, isnt fun.
And no, the WW2 pilots didnt say 'meh, they have jets, Im outa here'. We have a choice, and we can try to get an option of switching jets off.

game - real life
choice/fun - no choice/not funny

^^ you see the difference

a simple option of turning them off wouldnt bother many people. I agree they should be in the game, but I also agree that they ruin a lot of games.
So, is a on/off button so strange to wish for ?

PS. no I dont really mind a jet opponent, I mind them in my own team, because they will give you one less dogfighter. Just a guy who zooms by now and then
As an opponent:
1. he's not an ace -> they have one guy 'less' (a noob in a jet is not even 1/4 as dangerous as a noob in a piston).
^^ this sucks because I dont want an easy victory

2. he's an ace.. and there is NOTHING you can do about it, not even if you are better them him in your piston. If he knows how to fy it, there is no chance you can kill him

so, no, dont mind jets, but also, there is no way they make the game more fun
