Again: Not an important one cause you normally should not try to fly into trees. There are billions of other big topics and also smaller topics are existing, which are forcing the majority of pilots not to fly clod. It is not only the flight model and the performance. It is also the fact that the game itself is missing so many things to fill it with life. Not only to fill it with life but also be able to create a story and to jusz get the people in the situation, that (with a little fantasy) the imagination of a good battle is created by their mind.
To ground battle: Atag is a server with tasks for every group. If you fly for your lifes, as you would to in real life. You would not go down for example with your 109. By the way: I didn't play that very often, but I heard, that a real situation very rarely occur in clod. Simply because of several facts:
1.) You want to have fun and find enemies instantly.
2.) As always, an online server like atag do not give you the possibility of something like SEOW, ADW, etc. . The same was in 1946: although there are missions and targets to reach, it was and is a battle, which soon get unrealistic. A realistic flying was only pissible, if several clabs met for a mission fight. These fights are totally different from normal online gaming. I flew several seow campaigns and i am sad, that this was not flown more often, because that is the only way to generate the true simulation factor in all its dimensions.
And last but not least: Fly some real clan evenings, get a clan, work with a real wingman and a realcommander in realtime events and you will see, that noone starts from airport with flying into trees and noone ever flying into trees while dogfighting. Sure it can go dowb to ground level, but in good teams,this do not happen. The action is a bit higher cause noone risks simply ti go that deep. So, simply not true and an immersion killer for some, but really soooiii far from being important.
Fix performance, fix fm, add mission builder and gui, add more possibilities for mission builder to create scenarious, add uncomplicated abd more natural vision control to enhance capabilities of the pilots, add additional modelling abilities or more stuff for mission builder, add weather effects, add mor precise or more complex wind situations and weather scenarios, add more plabe content, hurry up with fixing and hurry up with sequel, hurry up with new planes, new maps, new content, add tiny functions like realistically working radios and radar, positioning lights, drivable tanks, artilleries, vehicles, enhance field of view, viewing distances and LODs.......... The list is long and in place 3476, there will be somewhere the trees, that I could fly through in case I am flying bad.
Sorry, but so far away from being important for most of us. I personally never hit a tree or not very often. Perhaps one time every 50 flight hours maximum. I could live with it as long as the game has really has one of the biggest problems, that I have ever seen in gaming history. Poor guys, as it will be tough to come outo there. The problem is massive game problems, but also losing trust from the current customers, which are also the veterans and longterm supporters of old il2 and true fans and the true base.
