It's a good idea in theory but in practice who is gonna want to play as a tank or soldier when there are real people flying planes? You are not gonna last very long.
It would be hard to simulate everything because of the balance of the different modes. In any aircraft you'd have a massive advantage (which would be good news for us guys!) online, and from my experience of other unbalanced games would mean that everyone ends up not wanting to play as a certain type.
Actually, it could work if Aircraft could only attack surface targets having been requested to do so by another freindly surface unit.. but then you'd have no targets of opportunity..
Maybe one day there will be 500 of us in the air and 500 on the ground.. tie it all in with a strategy game? Then we could all bitch in the recreation room about the rubbish orders we have been getting from some armchair general somewhere... Total war, top to bottom
