Realism&Balance

[ElAurens]

The only "realism" we can ever hope for is in the FMs and DMs to some extent.

You can never enforce the realism of say, US pilots being inexperienced and being shot down in droves by the Japanese in the first year or so of the war. Just as you cannot force late war "German" pilots to leave two thirds of their number on a server to stay on the ground to simulate lack of fuel, while the other third gets decimated in the air because they are teenage boys with less than 20 hours stick time in type.

It's like some US fan boys that say that some late war Japanese aircraft are overmodeled and want to restrict/ban that aircraft on a server, when what is overmodeled is the experience of those flying the J2M3, for example.

Re-creating historic outcomes with our little game is simply not possible, no matter how "accurate" the game/sim is.
