Thumbs up Thx for the patch

We now know it IS coming for sure.
Anyway, IMHO BoP is already great out-of-the-box as it is.
There are a few omissions, but I guess the patch will deal with those.
I've played many PC sims in my days and enjoy BoP quite a bit.
Remeber BoP has to take into account it is being developped for a console ... and just that fact made/makes it great for the PS3.
This patch will make BoP stand out even more above and beyond any other PS3 offering that I know of.
I've picked up HAWX from the cheap-o-bin and let me tell you all: if you want to complain ... at least BoP can be enjoyed as an arcade game as well as a (not-hardcore) sim !
I love everything about BoP, especially the mere fact that it exists and is one of a kind.
Thx for the patch.

A lot of people like myself want more cockpits for the realism. I still think BoP is really awesome though, even without axis cockpits. When we get them it will be even better! Actually I like to fly with the cockpit on, I used to do virtual cockpit but I got used to having the visual reference of my virtual pit.

Alas Dragon Age is stealing all of my flying time! I'l be back to MP soon though. (Maybe DA:O is a long game!)

I can think of a good reason to have cockpits: when you have to break out of plane in a turn to spoil an imminent gunshot, one of the best time-honored maneuvers is to break nearly vertical, up or down, spot the bogey on your wing, and then roll to keep them on the wing. It doesn't work unless you keep the wing pointed at the bogey. (Even then, it's hella hard to do in BOP).

But in MP using a cockpit makes it way harder to aim... if there was a "cockpit only" option online, that would be better. Right now using a cockpit means having to get up close for the kill unless you hardly have to lead the target at all.
