I think the main reason (although there's a thread somewhere with a lot more good reasons) for the lack of pilots is that games in progress don't show up when you're searching and people don't tend to sit in the lobby long. So quite often the online appears dead although there can be many players actually playing.

I gather on the XBox you also have the extra complication of ranked and unranked matches? On PS3 there are just the 4 game modes and the 3 difficulties, but you can search all difficulties at once.

But once you get into a game, it's fantastic and well worth persevering for

It would be nice if that in limited ammo games that landing and stopping for a period, next to a set certain rearming point, would rearm the aircraft.

This would make for a more interesting game than players being forced to bale out or crash to gain a new re-armed aircraft.

It would make using limited ammo on all the games more interesting.

In BSM all aircraft have to land to rearm payloads and in BSP adult players set the game to no payload respawn thus forcing bombers and torpedo aircraft to actually fly missions to the target and home again.

Playing Strike with bombers having to return to base for more payloads would stop the B-17 and Ar.234 dominance just in the same way that it stops the G-4M "Betty" Kamakasi carrier, B-17, B-29 and G-5M "Liz" heavy bomber dominance on BSP. Only kids with no skill play BSP with payload respawn on.
