Patch 4.11 is a gift to open pit UFO fliers

Uh, that is what easy settings/UFO servers and aircraft are for, for gamers not simmers, to have gaming fun in, they are flying there in La7s against other oddball aircraft because history is way down on their list.

The guys flying on hard-settings using wingmen and squads and coms are not worrying about hot-shots in 25lb spit and La7s because their historical tactics easily defeat them, they are not reliant on UFO aircraft like lone-wolf gamers are.

Good job Ivank, bringing reality to the thread, thank-you.

Easier settings dogfight servers are great places to have fun and practice some things, but there is nothing historical or serious about them, and anyone that takes them that way is out to lunch.

Last time I saw WD, he was on a server with outside views and icons flying an La-7 away from trouble as fast as it would go every time and taking the server far too seriously, as gamers do, I can see why he is concerned with the things he is.
